2014 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE SUN-VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP AGAINST THE CEILING, OR AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD, AND DROP DOWN INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT, WHICH MAKES IT A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. MYSELF AND PASSENGERS ARE CONSTANTLY HITTING OUR HEADS ON THEM. IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN MY SEAT IS ALL THE WAY DOWN. NISSAN YOU HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT MAKES DRIVING HAZARDOUS.

SEPT 2018 FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE; UNABLE TO OPEN DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. MARCH 2016 FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE; WAS UNABLE TO OPEN DOOR FROM THE INSIDE.

WHEN EXCELERATING MY VEHICLE THE CAR SHAKES AND WILL GIVE OUT ON ME. VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN GETTING ONTO A HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WE ARE LOCATED IN SPOKANE WA. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH PATHFINDERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 15 TO 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO M'LADY NISSAN (5656 NORTHWEST HWY, CRYSTAL LAKE, IL 60014, (815) 459-2288) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND THEY AGREED TO COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COST. THE REPAIR HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETED. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT CAUSED THE MANUFACTURER TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY FROM 60,000 TO 84,000 MILES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

THE DASHBOARD 'MILES REMAINING', GAS GAUGE READING, AND ACTUAL GAS REMAINING ARE NO LONGER IN SYNC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD OCCASIONALLY ILLUMINATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANCIRA NISSAN (LOCATED AT 10835 I-10, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78230, (210) 714-2040) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT IT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REED NISSAN CLERMONT (LOCATED AT 16005 FL-50, CLERMONT, FL 34711, (352) 293-2777) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. *DT CONSUMER STATED ISSUE CONTINUED AND ALMOST WRECKED OVER 5 TIMES DUE TO NOT ACCELERATING. NISSAN IGNORED IT AND KEPT STATING COULDN'T DIAGNOSE. THEN HAULED THE TRANSMISSON TWICE AFTER REPENTED ISSUES. PULLING OUT OF DEALERSHIP ALMOST GOT HIT. NOW THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. NEW TRANSMISSION SHOP TOOK IT APART. NOT REPAIRED PROPERLY. NOTE: ACCORDING TO THE ERROR CODE IT IS HARD SET, MEANING NEVER REPAIRED. NISSANS OWN BULLETIN STATED SHOULD NOT BE REPAIRED BUT REPLACED. PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. UPDATED 10/30/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT DETECTED AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COWLES NISSAN (14777 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, WOODBRIDGE, VA 22191, (703) 497-3000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.

SUN VISORS IN THE CAR FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS CAUSES THE REDUCED FIELD OF VISION TO FORWARD OR SIDE TRAFFIC AND ALSO POSES AT GREAT RISK DURING COLLISION. THESE DEFECTIVE SUN VISORS NEED TO BE RECALLED. THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ON GOING ACROSS MULTIPLE VEHICLES IN THE PRODUCT LINE WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF USE. MULTIPLE INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE RADIATOR MADE A LOUD NOISE. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE FAN BLADE SHOOK AND STRUCK THE FAN SHROUD. THE CONTACT CALLED BILL RAY NISSAN AT 407-831-1318 (LOCATED AT 2724 US-17, LONGWOOD, FL 32750) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS COMMON WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. ON BOTH THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER DOORS, THE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN ON MY VEHICLE (PICTURES ATTACHED), NOT ALLOWING YOU TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. TO EXIT THE VEHICLE YOU NEED TO LOWER THE WINDOW AND OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. THIS COULD PROVE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IF YOU NEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY AND THE PLASTIC HANDLE BREAKS. ALL THE PIECES OF THIS PART ARE PLASTIC AND THEY HANDLE HIGH LEVELS OF STRESS PULLING CABLES TO OPEN AND UNLOCK DOORS. YOUTUBE/GOOGLE IS FILLED WITH VIDEOS ON REPAIRING THESE BROKEN HANDLES AND PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FREQUENCY IN WHICH THEY BREAK.

THE SUN VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP WHILE DRIVING THE PLASTIC SUPPORTS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE CRACKED AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE PROPER POSITION. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD AS IF THE DO NOT STAY UP IT BLOCKS THE VISIBILITY AND ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY. I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE IT AS I DO NOT WANT TO HOLD IT UP WHILE DRIVING.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH BOARD STAYS ON. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF.

I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I MOVED THE DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR. A LOUD POP HAPPENED AND THE VISOR BROKE. IT WOULD NOT RETURN TO ITS STATIONARY PLACE AND HUNG IN FRONT OF MY FIELD OF VIEW. IT DANGLES INTERFERING WITH DRIVING.

THE SUN VISORS ON THE PATHFINDERS BREAK EASILY AND HANG IN THE DRIVER SIGHT. THIS CAUSES A MAJOR DISTRACTION. NISSAN WILL REPLACE THE BROKEN PART FOR $100 AND UP. ONLINE, THERE ARE DOZENS OF VIDEOS SHOWING CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS CHEAP PART BUT WILL NOT CORRECT.

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AT ABOUT 60,000 MILES. AROUND 64,000 MILES, BOTH SUN VISORS FELL TO THE DOWN POSITION AND WILL NO LONGER STAY FOLDED UP. IMPAIRS VISION OF DRIVER. THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO AN ACCIDENT OR ANY TYPE OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.

SUN VISOR ON PASSENGER SIDE FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING

MY EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS SEEM TO BE STUCK IN THE 'ON' POSITION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I CANNOT FULLY ACCELERATE, I'M ABLE TO SWITCH THE GEAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE WITHOUT APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE IGNITION CAN ALSO BE STARTED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING PRESSED. THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS REMAI ON EVEN AFTER THE TRUCK AS BEEN TURNED OFF.

THE SUNVISORS WILL NOT STAY UP AGAINST THE CEILING, OR AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD, AND DROP DOWN INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT WHEN I DON'T WANT THEM TO.

MY BRAKE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. IT CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL AS I WAS DRIVING, IT EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF AND DRAINED MY BATTERY. IT WAS REALLY SCARY. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. AS A RESULT THEY REPLACED MY SWITCH ASSY. STOP LAMP AND RELAY. I WAS REALLY UPSET TO PAY FOR A SERVICE THAT I DID NOT CAUSE. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL OUT FOR THE SAME MODEL, MAKE AND OF MY CAR I DID SHARE WITH THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE MY ISSUE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS DEFECTIVE. I BARELY USED THIS AND IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE, WHICH MAKES IT A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. NISSAN YOU HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT MAKES DRIVING HAZARDOUS.

I EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING WITH MY TRANSMISSION ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS; CAR JUMPING INTO LOW GEAR AND SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH RPMS DRIVING UPHILL, CAR JUMPING INTO LOW GEAR AND SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH RPMS DRIVING DOWNHILL, AND GEARS 'SLIPPING'. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM THE NHTSA IN 2017 FOR MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND DETAILED WHAT I BELIEVE TO HAVE BEEN TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED THEM. I WAS TOLD THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE ISSUE, THEY OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH JANUARY 1, 2021 OR UNTIL MY CAR REACHED 84K MILES. I THOUGHT THE ISSUES WAS ADDRESSED AND WENT ON WITH LIFE. EVEN WHEN I EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES I DOUBTED IT WAS TRANSMISSION RELATED AS I WAS ASSURED THE ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED BY THE DEALERSHIP. I STARTED TO THINK IT WAS BRAKES RELATED, A FROZEN CALIPER OR SOMETHING. IT WASN'T UNTIL RECENT WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY 'JUMPED' INTO A LOW GEAR AND I HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO GET DOWN THE HILL DID I REALIZE THIS ISSUE WAS IN FACT TRANSMISSION RELATED. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE DIAGNOSTICS AND DETERMINED THERE IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. MY CAR IS AT 92K MILES AT THIS POINT AND OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. NISSAN STATES THEY WILL ONLY COVER 70% OF THE REPAIR COSTS. I URGED THEM TO CONSIDER THE FACT THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY VOICED CONCERNS WHICH ARE CAPTURED

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR BROKE. AT TIME OF PURCHASE, BOTH VISORS MADE A LOUD CLICKING SOUND WHEN THEY WERE PULLED DOWN OR PUSHED UP. THE PLASTIC ATTACHED TO THE HINGE BROKE. AFTER LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THE BROKEN PLASTIC PREVENTS THE VISOR FROM BEING PUSHED ALL OF THE WAY UP, THUS CAUSING THE DRIVER'S VISION BEING PARTIALLY BLOCKED.

THE SUN VISORS HAVE ALWAYS NOT FULLY RETURNED TO THE POSITION WHEN CLOSED LIKE ALL OTHERS DO. HOWEVER, WITHOUT WARNING THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR BROKE DURING VEHICLE OPERATION ON AN INTERSTATE. IMPEDING THE VISION OF THE DRIVER, DURING OPERATION, IS EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND HOLDING THE VISOR IN PLACE.

SUN VISORS ARE AN ISSUE FOR SO MANY NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS! THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED. SUN VISORS DO NOT STAY UP. THEY FALL WHILE DRIVING WHEN YOU POSSIBLY GET THEM TO STAY. WHEN THEY WON'T STAY UP THEY STAY DOWN AND MYSELF AND PASSENGERS ARE CONSTANTLY HITTING OUR HEADS ON THEM. IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN MY SEAT IS ALL THE WAY DOWN.

THE SUN VISORS IN THE PATHFINDERS HAVE A PLASTIC HINGE ATTACHMENT THAT FAILS REGULARLY IN SEVERAL YEARS OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE SUN VISOR MAY NOT BE SAFETY CRITICAL EQUIPMENT, THE MODE OF FAILURE MAKES IT UNSAFE. WHEN IT FAILS, YOU ARE UNABLE RETURN IT TO NORMAL POSITION AND IT HANGS FULLY DOWN (AT LEAST IN MY CASE) OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. WHEN IT FAILED FOR ME, MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY, WITH VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE FIXED THE FAILED VISOR SO CAN'T PROVIDE A PICTURE.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED COMING DOWN LAST YEAR THEN FINALLY BROKE. WE BOUGHT A NEW ONE AND INSTALLED IT FOR $100. THEN 6 MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE. WE HAVE HIT OUR HEADS NUMEROUS TIMES AND OTHER PASSENGERS AS WELL. THEN, JUST 3 WEEKS AGO THE NEWLY INSTALLED DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTED COMING DOWN. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND PAINFUL WHEN COLLIDING WITH THE BROKEN SUN VISOR. NISSAN SHOULD GIVE RECALL ON THEIR 2014 PATHFINDER SUN VISORS. DURING DRIVING THE VISOR HANGS HALFWAY DOWN WHICH OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVING VIEW AND ALSO REDUCES DEPTH OF FIELD VISION FOR BRAKING PURPOSES.

AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (NEW IN 2014) THE VISORS BEGAN MAKING POPPING NOISES WHEN LOWERED AND WOULD NOT STAY IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME AND NOW THEY WILL NOT STAY UP AT ALL. THEY ARE OBSTRUCTING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING MY VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE STAYED ON EVEN WHEN I AM OUT OF THE CAR AND THE CAR IS OFF. I HAD AN INCIDENT IN WHICH THE IGNITION BUTTON WAS ABLE TO BE TURNED ON WITHOUT MY FOOT BEING ON THE PEDAL, AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ALREADY PRESSED. THE CAR STUTTERS TO ACCELERATE AFTER BRAKING. I WORKED TO HAVE THIS ADDRESSED THROUGH NISSAN AFTER SEEING A RECALL WITH SIMILAR ISSUES ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL. NISSAN REJECTED FIXING THE PROBLEM DUE TO MY VIN NUMBER NOT BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT RECALL. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RUN BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHICH STATED THAT THE BRAKE CONTROL AND PUSH BUTTON STATER SWITCH NEED REPLACING. I REFERENCE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V380000 AS SIMILAR TO MY CASE.

THE SUN VISOR IS TOO BIG AND HEAVY TO STAY FIRM ALL THE WAY UP, ONLY1 INCH AND HALF ITS SUPPORT ALL THE VISOR SO THATS ITS TOO SMALL FOR THAT HEAVIEST.

DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR BEGAN POPPING UPON CLOSURE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, IT HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN AND WILL NO LONGER STAY UPRIGHT. THIS IS CAUSING LIMITED VISIBILITY AND HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS.

TWICE ON THIS DATE I WAS COMPLETLY STOPED FIRST TIME AT A RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND MY VEHICLE SHUTTERED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DID NOT INCREASE SPEED'SECOND TIME AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE RESTARTED ENGINE SELECTED DRIVE ON TRANSMISSION TAPPED GAS AND VEHICLE SHUTTERED WITHOUT INCREASE IN SPEED. BOTH OCACIONS ROAD SURFACE WAS DRY AND VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE 2 WHEEL DRIVE

THE SUN VISORS IN MY 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARE MAKING A POPPING NOISE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE CORRECT POSITION. THIS IS CAUSING A VISIBILITY PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING. THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING A POPPING NOISE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP AND THE DRIVER SIDE IS STARTING TO DROP.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION. IT IS BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD.

BOTH "SUN" VISORS ON VERGE OF BREAKING. WHEN PUTTING DOWN OR UP, THEY WILL MAKE A SNAPPING NOISE AND HANG LOOSELY. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING THEY WILL FLOP DOWN. VISORS NEVER STAY UP PROPERLY OR SAFELY. I'VE HAD IT FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY. THEY ARE NOT SAFE! SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP, THEY WANT TO CHARGE $400 FOR THEM TO BE FIXED. THE PAIR THAT'S BREAKING IS NOT SOLD SEPARATELY. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLES SHAKES AND SHUDDERS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, ALSO BOTH INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BROKE. CAR FEELS LIKE YOUR DRIVING ON THE ROUGH LINES ON THE HIGHWAY THEY USE TO WAKE YOU UP.

I PURCHASED MY PATHFINDER USED, AND THIS ISSUE HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. SUN VISORS HANG TOO LOW AND BLOCK MY VIEW WHEN DRIVING. THE MECHANISM SOUNDS BROKEN DUE TO THE POPPING NOISE. PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR HANGS LOW TOO, AND BOTH DO NOT GO FULLY UP IN THE CLOSED POSITION.

I HAVE NOTICED THIS FOR AWHILE, BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I AM NOW AT 6800 MILES, AND WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY LAST NIGHT, MY GAS GAUGE READ THAT I HAD 86 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS MORNING, TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, I ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD 56 MILES TO EMPTY. WHEN I GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT NOT EVEN A MILE AWAY WITH THE SCHOOL TO MY LEFT, MY LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, AND BY THE TIME I TURNED INTO THE PARKING LOT, 2 MINUTES LATER, MY ELECTRONIC GAUGE WAS BLINKING AT ME AND THE ACTUAL GAS GAUGE WAS AT 0. I THEN HAD TO WAIT IN THE DROP OFF LINE HOPING I WOULDN'T RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE I WAS DROPPING THEM OFF. (I WOULD OF TOTALLY RUINED THEIR LIVES HAHA!) I WAS SO NERVOUS DRIVING, TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE GAS STATION. I MADE IT. FILLED ALL THE WAY UP AND IT ONLY ALLOWED ME TO FILL UP 15 GALLONS. NOT MY NORMAL 16. SO APPARENTLY IT JUST WANTED TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK EARLY THIS MORNING. HOW AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT? GUESS? JUST KEEP IT TOPPED OFF EVERY [XXX] DAY? DUMB. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY PATHFINDER HAS A KNOWN DEFECT. NISSAN HAS RELEASED TECHNICAL BULLETIN CLASSIFICATION RA09-004C WITH REFERENCE NUMBER NTB10-029C FROM NOVEMBER 16, 2015. THERE IS A VIBRATION OR JUDDER FEELING FROM THE REAR DRIVE TRAIN. THE ACTION REQUIRED IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED BY THE NHTSA. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY YOUNG CHILDREN. THERE IS A VIBRATION OR JUDDER FEELING FROM THE REAR WHEN MAKING TURNS, ON DRY ROADS, AT LOW SPEEDS (UNDER 40 MPH). THE REPAIR IS EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN 3800 TO 5000 DOLLARS. THE NISSAN DEALER SAID THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVE SHAFT, THE CVT TRANS AXEL, AND REMOVAL OF THE VALVE ASSEMBLY.

THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY FAILS TO ACCELERATE FOLLOWING THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES FOR A PERIOD OF 10-30 SECONDS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE "BRAKE SWITCH" THAT IS COMMON IN THE PATHFINDER. THE DEFECT CAUSES AN UNSAFE AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONDITION WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC.

WHEN I WENT TO OPEN DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, THE DOOR DID NOT OPEN. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE HANDLE BROKE OFF ON THE INSIDE. I NOW HAVE TO OPEN MY WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE.

I HAVE OWNED MY PATHFINDER FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BOTH VISORS WERE SAGGING AND DIDN'T FULLY RETRACT INTO PLACE. OVER THE LAST MONTH THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR IS NOW TO THE POINT WHERE IT HANGS HALFWAY DOWN ALL OF THE TIME. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE WHAT I CONSIDER AN EPIDEMIC. NOT ONLY ARE THE VISORS MANUFACTURED HORRIBLY BUT NOW CAUSE A HAZARD WHEN I AM DRIVING BECAUSE I CONTINUOUSLY HIT MY HEAD ON THE VISOR. NISSAN NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER RECALLING ALL VISORS THAT ARE DESIGNED AS SUCH. I JUST SPENT ALMOST $200 TO FIX ONE VISOR FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. NOT HAPPY! I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE TO SEND IN TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY FIXED THE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS A HAZARD TO DRIVE.

WE BOUGHT THE 2014 PATHFINDER USED IN MARCH 2017 WITH APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES ON IT. BOTH VISORS CLICKED WHEN PUTTING THEM BACK UP AND WOULD NOT STAY IN THE FULL UP POSITION. IN MARCH 2018, THE DRIVER'S VISOR FELL AND WILL NOT STAY IN EITHER THE FULL UP OR FULL DOWN POSITION, THUS OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VISION. THE BROKEN PLASTIC IS VISIBLE INSIDE THE FABRIC OF THE VISOR. I HAD TO PIN IT TO THE ROOF TO ENSURE SAFE DRIVING. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO MISUSE, BUT NOW I SEE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT. I DON'T SEE THAT NISSAN HAS PROVIDED FREE REPAIRS, HOWEVER. SINCE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THE VISORS REPLACED FREE TO CUSTOMERS.

MY TRANSMISSION JERKS EVERYTIME I TAKE OFF. FOR 47,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

THE BATTERY WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED IN PLACE AND THIS SEEMED TO IMPACT THE MILEAGE STARTING OVER AND DID NOT KEEP ACCURATE AMOUNT OF GAS IN VEHICLE. MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT; FELT AS IF SOMETHING WAS BEING DRAGGED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE TIRES TWICE SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE EVEN WITH GETTING ROTATIONS EVERY OTHER OIL CHANGE.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT (INDICATING AIRBAG OFF) REMAINS ON AT TIMES WHEN ADULT PASSENGER PRESENT. ALSO, LIGHT OFTEN GOES OFF WHEN NO PASSENGER PRESENT. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE. CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO DEALER MANY TIMES, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (DON WILLIAMSON NISSAN, 310 WESTERN BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, NC 28546), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 30054913. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

VISORS DO NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. BECOME LOOSE AND FALL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING VISUAL IMPAIRMENT TO THE DRIVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN UNIDENTIFIABLE ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL RAY NISSAN (2724 N US HIGHWAY 17-92, LONGWOOD, FL 32755) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAN AND SHROUD ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN PATHFINDER AND NISSAN ROGUE NEW IN 2014. ALMOST ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE AT BANISTER NISSAN OF CHESAPEAKE, 930 N BATTLEFIELD BLVD, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320 DEALERSHIP. AT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES THE PATHFINDER BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY DURING ACCELERATION BETWEEN 15MPH AND 30MPH. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND HESITATES ON BOTH VEHICLES. DETAILS OF THIS PROBLEM HAVE BEEN SHARED REPEATEDLY WITH DEALERSHIP ADVISORS AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. AT FIRST TECHNICIANS CLAIMED NOT HAVE NOTICED ANY TREMBLING / ISSUES DURING TEST DRIVES WITH THE PATHFINDER. THEN EACH TIME I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE SHUDDER, THE DEALER WOULD BLAME IT ON OTHER ISSUES. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES, BRAKES, AND ROTORS SEVERAL TIMES AT THE ADVICE OF THE DEALER. NONE OF THAT FIXED THE SHUDDER. NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED ON BOTH VEHICLES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. BANISTER NISSAN OF CHESAPEAKE DID NOT INFORMED ME UNTIL AFTER THE PATHFINDER WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THAT TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I REQUESTED ASSISTANCE FROM THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER AS ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP SINCE I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEMS FOR SO LONG. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. NISSAN AGREED TO PAY FOR REPAIR COSTS FOR THE VEHICLE. BANISTER NISSAN OF CHESAPEAKE NOW TELLS ME THEY WILL NEED TO DO ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT REFUSE TO COVER ANY COST ASSOCIATED. THE ADVISORS STATED THAT DI
