2014 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

NISSAN ISSUED A "CAMPAIGN" DUE TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT WHERE THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS MALFUNCTIONED WHICH CAUSE SHUDDERING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE WHILE DRIVING AT 20MPH. AFTER BRINGING THE ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON 2/28/17 THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY IMMOBILIZED ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING A TRAGIC ACCIDENT INVOLVING BOTH MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. NISSAN FAILED TO SEND CORRESPONDENCE ADVISING OF THE CTV UPDATE WHICH CAUSED THE ISSUE TO GO UNRESOLVED AND ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE FAIL OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RECTIFIED WITH MODELS CONTAINING THE CTV TRANSMISSION. NISSAN HAS JUST ADVISED THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WOULD COST ME A TOTAL $4,800.00 FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE OF SENDING THE PROPER CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING THE CAMPAIGN. THEY SHOULD BUY BACK THIS CAR AND ALL OTHERS LIKE IT AS THIS CAN CAUSE TRAGIC ACCIDENTS.

ON FEBRUARY 27, 2018 I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ALONG A HIGHWAY. SUDDENLY I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT GOING OFF AND THEN GLASS FELL INTO MY CAR, SOME ON ME FROM THE SUNROOF. THE ENTIRE SUNROOF EXPLODED. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES BECAUSE THE SMALL AMOUNT OF GLASS AROUND THE OUTSIDE EDGES WAS PUSHED OUTWARDS LIKE AN EXPLOSION FROM PRESSURE OF SOME SORT. AFTER CALLING MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT A NISSAN PROBLEM AND NOT COVERED BECAUSE MY WARRANTY MILEAGE AND TIME HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A NISSAN PROBLEM BECAUSE GLASS SHOULD NOT EXPLODE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THANK GOODNESS I DID NOT LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SHOCK OF THE SITUATION.

2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE SUN VISORS. *LD *JS

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF, AND WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STILL STAY ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKES AREN'T BEING PRESSED. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE WHEN YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL. THIS OCCURS AFTER YOU HIT THE BRAKES, AND WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE WON'T GO OVER 20 MPH.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE

MY VEHICLE IS REPORTING TO ME THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS OFF. EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE SEAT AND THE VEHICLE IS DRIVER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. IT CAME ON 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AND THE DEALER STATES THEY WILL HAVE TO CHARGE ME TO CHECK THE ISSUE. IT SEEMS THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL PATHFINDER. THE LIGHT DOES NOT TURN OFF. IVE TRIED RESETTING TRICKS AND STILL NO RESULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BROWN DALLAS NISSAN (45155 TOWLERN PL, STERLING, VA 20166) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

CVT CHANGES NEUTRAL FROM DRIVING POSITIONS CONTACTED THE DEALER AND NISSAN CONSUMERS AGENCY THEY TOLLS ME THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING

WHEN I TURN THE HEATER OFF, I KEEP HEARING A KNOCK NOISE COMING OUT OF THE HEATER.

WHILE DRIVING APPROX 20 MPH I BUMPED AGAINST THE CURB ON THE ROAD I WAS DRIVING. THIS INSIGNIFICANT BUMP CAUSED THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG AND PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. MY WIFE AND SON WERE TAKEN TO THE ER. VEHICLE WAS NOT STRUCK, NO BODY DAMAGE, SOME CURB RASH ON THE WHEELS. OVER AGGRESSIVE AIR BAG INFLATION.

AT LOW SPEED, WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE "SHUDDERS." IT SHAKES AND THEN AS YOU SPEED UP IT NORMALIZES.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKEN AND VISOR HANGS IN FULL VIEW OF DRIVER - NO WAY TO KEEP IT UP. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD

CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE THE VEHICLE PURCHASED AS NEW ON 05/08/2014. REPORTED TO NISSAN DEALER AT REGULAR SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION IS JERKING AND BUCKING IN EARLY JANUARY 2017. SINCE THEN VEHICLE AT DEALER SERVICE MANY TIMES ONCE FOR ALMOST 4 WEEKS AT A STREACH. MULTIPLE SOFTWARE AND PROGRAM/UPDATES WITH NO RESOLUTION OF PROBLEM. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS NOT RESPONDING TO CALLS OR MESSAGES LEFT. 8/08/17 TRANSMISSION REBUILT WITH NO CORRECTION OF PROBLEM. 9/11/2017 TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH NO RESULTS. AS OF 10/31/17 PATHFINDER AT DEALER. AS PER SHOP MANAGER JUDDER/JUTTER STILL PRESENT AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR NISSAN RESPONSE. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AND JUMPS SHAKING WHOLE VEHICLE. NISSAN SERVICE UNABLE TO FIX AFTER MUTIPLE ATTEMPTS OVER A SPAN OF 11 MONTHS. I BELEIVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ALL IN THE VEHICLE AND AROUND IF TRANSMISSION FAILS, SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED TO CARRY 7 PASSENGERS. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THE SALES DEPARTMENT ARE IGNORING MESSAGES. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS REGULARLY WHEN VEHICLE TRAVELLING IN URBAN ROADS UNDER 40 MPH SPEED. THIS VEHICLE PURCHASED AS NEW. SERVICED ONLY BY NISSAN DEALER WHERE IT WAS BROUGHT FROM.

MY DRIVERS SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE ALL OF A SUDDEN BROKE. I HAD TO CRAWL OUT OF MY CAR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO EXIT/ENTER MY VEHICLE. AND, MY DRIVERS SIDE VISOR IS BROKEN AND HANGS DOWN--OBSTRUCTING MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. BOTH PROBLEMS OCCURRED AT 53,000 MILES AND ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. BOTH PROBLEMS ALSO SEEM TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN PATHFINDER AND OF COURSE ARE NOT COVERED WHEN BASIC WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 36,000 MILES.

THE SUN VISORS IN MY 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER SV ARE DEFECTIVE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT AS I AM DRIVING THE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN AND COVERS MY VIEW OF THE ROAD, THUS CAUSING A POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION. A REVIEW OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS HAS INDICATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY 2014 & NEWER NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THE MECHANISMS THAT HOLDS THE SUN VISOR UP CRACKS AND WILL NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP THE SUN VISORS IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN IMMEDIATELY AS THE CONDITION CAN HAPPEN RANDOMLY AS THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN AND SUDDENLY THE SUN VISOR DROPS IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER CAUSING A HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION.

PISTON ATTACHMENT TO DOOR ON AUTOMATIC TRUNK OPENER BROKE. UNABLE TO HOLD LIFTGATE OPEN.

MODEL YRS 2013-2016 NISSANS. DRIVER SUNVISOR MANUFACTURED WITH BRITTLE PLASTIC FRAME BREAKS CAUSING THE SUNVISOR TO SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING DROP DOWN AND OBSTRUCT THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROADWAY AHEAD. COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS LEADING TO POSSIBLE INJURY OR FATALITY. THOUSANDS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT OWNERS EXPENSE. VERY COMMON DEFECT ON THE ABOVE YEAR VEHICLES. OURS HAS HAD TO BE DUCT TAPED TO THE HEADLINER TO KEEP IT OUT OF OUR VISION.

I STARTED SEEING THE AIRBAG INDICATOR FLASHING ON MY DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN CAR DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A WATER BOTTLE THAT ROLLED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CAUSED THE SENSOR TO BREAK. I BELIEVE THAT IS A BAD DESIGN FROM NISSAN, THAT ALLOWS A CRITICAL SENSOR TO BREAK EASILY BY A SOFT WATER BOTTLE THAT ROLLED UNDER THE SEAT, CAUSE THE AIRBAG NOT TO DEPLOY, WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES TO ME OR A FAMILY MEMBER SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THERE IS A RECALL ALREADY RELATED TO THAT SENSOR, THAT CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAG NOT TO DEPLOY, BUT I THINK PROTECTING THE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE, THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR SOMETIME BEFORE NOTICING THAT THERE MIGHT BE AN AIRBAG ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS PERFORMED, BUT NO FAILURE CODES WERE DETECTED. AFTER LEAVING THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND MAKING A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NISSAN OF YORKTOWN HEIGHTS (3495 CROMPOND RD, YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, NY 10598(914) 737-3500) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED UNTIL THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE FELT A VIBRATION AND A RATTLING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOMMARITO NISSAN WEST (14747 MANCHESTER RD, BALLWIN, MO 63011, (636) 394-0330) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED NEW TIRES AND BRAKE PADS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT HIM. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SUN VISORS WHERE THEY WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP. FROM THE DRIVER SIDE THIS OBSTRUCTS THE VISION WHICH CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY THIS OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE IT WOULD SIGNIFICANT HURT A PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AS WELL AS TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD AND KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE BEFORE I GOT IT FIXED AT MY OWN COST. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO KEEP THE VISOR OUT OF THE WAY ONCE THE VISOR BREAKS.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS DO NOT STAY UP AND DO NOT EXTEND FORWARD FULLY. AS A RESULT, THE VISOR HANGS IN THE DRIVER'S / PASSENGER'S LINE OF VISION, LIMITING ROADWAY VISIBILITY AND CREATING A POTENTIAL HEAD HAZARD IN AN ACCIDENT. PROBLEM IS PERSISTENT AND CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY REPLACING THE VISOR

THE SUN-VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP AS NISSAN PLANNED AND IS CURRENTLY A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AS IT IS IN DIRECT SIGHT-LINE OF THE ROAD. IN ADDITION, WHEN TRYING TO BLOCK ANY SUN, THE VISOR DOES NOT PROVIDE CORRECT PROTECTION AS IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT'S EASY TO SEE BASED ON COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE ALONG WITH MANY ACROSS THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED BY NHTSA

THE SUN VISORS BLOCK THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER AND CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED. THIS IS THE SECOND SET OF SUN VISORS FOR THIS CAR AT $400.00 A POP EVERY TWO YEARS. IT HAS BLINDED ME OF ON COMMING TRAFFIC OFTEN. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE THIS CAR. NISSAN IS VERY UN-CONCERNED OF MY SAFETY AS THEY ALMOST SAID.

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS ARE NOT STAYING UP AND AT THIS TIME IN THE UP POSITION THE DRIVER VISOR IS 4 INCHES OFF THE CEILING AND HANGING IN THE FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING, AND THE PASSENGER VISOR IS ABOUT 3 INCHES OF THE CEILING. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING.

THE ISSUE IS THE PLASTIC INSIDE THE SUN VISORS BREAKS EASILY. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THEM ONCE, AND NOW THEY'RE BOTH BROKEN AGAIN. WHEN THE INTERNAL PLASTIC COMPONENTS BREAK, THE VISOR HANGS DOWN AND RESTRICTS YOUR VISION AS YOU'RE DRIVING. YOU ARE UNABLE TO POSITION THE VISOR TO BLOCK THE SUN AS WELL, WHICH PRESENTS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO CONNECTING TWO DOG COLLARS TOGETHER TO KEEP THE VISORS IN AN UP POSITION RATHER THAN SPEND $200-300 TO REPLACE THEM. NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE THE VISOR SINCE ITS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY ONLY COVER WARRANTY WORK FOR ONE YEAR. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT 18 MONTHS AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WILL INCLUDE A VIDEO LINK FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THE WORKERS ARE VISIBLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE ISSUE. HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=-OJQZBHNU2E THE DOOR HANDLES ARE AN ISSUE I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED AS WELL. BOTH PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLES INTERNAL PLASTIC COMPONENTS HAVE BROKEN OFF. THIS PRESENTS AN EGRESS HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DISABLED AND YOU'RE UNABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE IS YOUR ONLY OPTION TO EGRESS THE VEHICLE. I WILL INCLUDE PICTURES AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE I CAN POP THE PANEL OFF OF THE PASSENGER DOORS AND SEND IN PHOTOS OF THE BROKEN INTERNAL PIECES. I HAVE ATTACHED THE INVOICE FROM THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WHICH OCCURRED AT JUST 14,714

THE DRIVER SUN VISOR FLAPPED BACK AND FORTH. IT CAN'T STAY UP AND DOWN PROPERLY. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT COME DOWN IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I TRIED TO USE IT THEREFORE I HAVE TO HOLD UP WITH ONE HAND WHILE MY OTHER HAND IS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I ONLY USE 6 TIMES DURING THE 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT AND I AM THE FIRST OWNER. IT STARTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO BUT IT BECAME WORST NOW.

SUN VISORS FOR BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDES. BOTH DON'T STAY UP AND BECAME LOOSE AND FALL DOWN. I NEVER IN 20 YEARS HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH A SUN VISOR. I FEAR FOR MINE AND MY FAMILY LIFE WITH THIS DANGER. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. PLEASE SEARCH THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL SEE MANY COMPLAINTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I CHECKED YOUR SITE AND FOUND NO RECALLS FOR MY WIFE'S VEHICLE. LAST THURSDAY 6/15 AT 5:15 I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE INTO AN EMPTY MERGE LANE WHEN I THOUGHT WE WERE HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG HAD DEPLOYED. IMMEDIATELY PULLING OVER AND VACATING ALL FROM THE SUV I CHECKED THE EXTERIOR DAMAGE AND FOUND NONE. HAD JUST COME AROUND A SLOW CURVE AND WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT WITH ALL THE WINDOWS OPEN, I WAS ACCELERATING FROM 25 TO GET UP TO 50 WHEN WE FELT THE EXPLOSION. HUMIDITY WAS ABOUT 80%. I AM ON BLOOD THINNERS AND MY DOCTOR IS WATCHING FOR SIGNS OF A BRAIN BLEED. MY LEFT ARM WAS BRUISED BEHIND THE ELBOW AND MY FOREARM HAD A 1ST DEGREE BURN. 34008 MILES ARE THERE OTHER INSTANCES OF PATHFINDER AIR BAGS DEPLOYING ON THEIR OWN.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE PARTS HAVE NOT BECOME AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS ABOUT 80 DEGREES AND SUNNY. THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY THE SHATTERING OF THE MOONROOF'S GLASS. THERE WAS NO FAILING DEBRIS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING THAT WOULD CRACK THE MOONROOF. IT APPEARS THAT THE MOONROOF EXPLODED UNEXPECTEDLY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR INADVERTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL WHITE PLAINS NISSAN DEALER, BUT IT COULD NOT BE SERVICED BECAUSE THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN NEW ROCHELLE WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VIN INDICATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS ALREADY COMPLETED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, THE SUN VISOR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRACTURED AND WAS HANGING DOWN. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED THAT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SUN VISOR COULD STRIKE AND CAUSE AN INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

EVER SINCE PURCHASE THE SUN VISORS (BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER) HAVE BEEN WEAKER THAN OTHER VEHICLES. THEY MAKE LOUD POPPING AND CRACKING NOISE WHEN ENGAGED AND CLOSED. THIS WEEKEND WE ENTERED THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE AND NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WAS NOT UP AGAINST THE CEILING. IT WOULDN'T STAY IN PLACE, THERE IS A LARGE GAP AND THE VISOR IS JUST ABOVE EYE LEVEL AT ALL TIMES NOW. THIS FAILURE IN THE MECHANISM ALSO AFFECTS THE "OPEN" POSITION BY NOT ALLOWING IT TO BE ADJUSTED TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD AND ABOVE SITE-LINE. IF IT'S "OPEN" IT HANGS VERTICAL AND WILL NOT ADJUST OUT OF SITE. THE MECHANISM IS SO WEAK AND BROKEN AT THIS POINT THAT WE FEAR IT MAY FALL FROM IT'S CURRENT "CLOSED" POSITION TO "OPEN" AND DIRECTLY IN THE LINE OF SITE WHILE DRIVING. WHILE NOT AS IMPORTANT TO DRIVER SAFETY, THE PASSENGER SIDE IS JUST AS BAD. NISSAN IS NOT RECALLING THESE, BUT IT IS A "KNOWN ISSUE" ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS THAT I HAVE CALLED FOR REPLACEMENT. TO REPLACE ONE UNIT IS CLOSE TO $200 ($194.50). THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A "KNOWN ISSUE" THAT IS ACTUALLY A SAFETY CONCERN AS MUCH AS IT IS AN ANNOYANCE.

SUN VISORS ON BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND ARE NOT ABLE TO BE PUT UP. VISORS HANG DOWN AND INHIBIT DRIVERS VISION.

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2014 PATHFINDER HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE DEALT WITH REPLACING COMPUTER COMPONENTS IN THE TRANSMISSION, FIXING FAULTY BRAKING SYSTEMS THAT CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUTDOWN, AND A TRANSMISSION THAT WAS FINALLY REPLACE ONLY TO FAIL ROUGHLY 4 WEEKS LATER! THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD STOP ALLOWING NISSAN TO SELL ANY CAR WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION TO CONSUMERS. THEY ARE UNSAFE AND WILL CAUSE A FATALITY WRECK DUE TO MALFUNCTIONS. NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE OR REPURCHASE MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ORDEAL AS FAR BACK AS 2015. MOST RECENTLY MY CAR TRANSMISSION DOES NOT CHANGE GEARS PROPERLY. WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL EITHER SHUDDER AND FAIL TO GO PAST 20MPH. ADDITIONALLY I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY JERK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO REDUCE MY SPEED DUE TO TRAFFIC, AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A JERKING MOTION WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPED TO 60MPH AND IMMEDIATELY FEEL TO 20MPH. THE CAR WENT THROUGH THIS CYCLE FOR ALMOST ONE MINUTE.

THE PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX MANY TIMES. I HAVE BEEN SENT HOME SEVERAL TIMES STATING THAT THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. MY CAR JUMPS WHEN I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY FROM A LOW SPEED. 2 MONTHS AGO, I WAS ON A MAIN ROAD AT A 4-WAY LIGHT INTERSECTION WHEN IT CAUSED ME TO STUDDER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHERE I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL AS THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP IS PURPOSEFULLY TRYING NOT TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM OR THEY ARE TRYING TO WAIT UNTIL MY CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. TODAY I WAS PULLING INTO MY GARAGE WHEN THE CAR STUDDERED AND THEN JUMPED AGAIN WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT MY TRASH CANS AND NOW I HAVE A DENT IN THE FRONT SIDE OF MY CAR.

THE ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED POWER STEERING PUMP HAS NOW STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD BUZZING / WHISTLING NOISE. IT IS SO LOUD, YOU CAN HEAR IT INSIDE THE CAR WITH THE RADIO ON. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL, ALTHOUGH IT JUST STARTED MAKING THE NOISE. IT MAKES THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING, STATIONARY OR TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. IN OTHER WORDS ALL THE TIME. THE CAR IS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, BUT THE DEALER HAS REFUSED TO PERFORM SERVICE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY SAY THE NOISE IS NORMAL. I'M AFRAID THE PUMP WILL FAIL CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

VEHICLE HAS A DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE SHAKES OR JERKS UPON CHANGING GEARS, DURING ACCELERATION OR SLOWING DOWN. VEHICLE IS ALSO SLOW TO ACCELERATE UPON TAKE OFF, PUTTING ME AT RISK FOR OTHER CAR TO CRASH INTO ME. VEHICLE MAX SPEED IS 50MPH. MECHANIC STATES CVT IS FAULTY.

OUR VEHICLES BRAKING SYSTEM FAIL TO PROPERLY WORK . WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT I AM HAVING A HARD TIME STOPPING MY VEHICLE WHEN IN MOTION.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. NOW THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR BROKE AND IS HANGING, IT WON'T STAY UP CAUSING LACK OF VISION TO THE DRIVER AND HAZARD TO ALL PASSENGERS.

BRAKE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINING ON/ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN BRAKE WAS NOT SUPPRESSED. BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHEN IN MOTION AS WELL AS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF. AS A RESULT, THERE IS NO WAY FOR ONE TO DETERMINE IF/WHEN THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. THIS ISSUE ALSO PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES CAUSE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISKS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V344000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT ONCE THE PARTS WERE SUPPLIED FROM THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THE CALLER RECEIVED NO FOLLOW-UP FOR MONTHS. THE DEALER AND THE INTERIM NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN REPLACED. I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LOSE POWER, THE CAR WILL ONLY GO 5 MILES AN HOUR ALL LIGHTS COME ON AND MY FOOT IS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FLOOR. MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. I HAVE BEEN IN DANGER NUMEROUS TIMES OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE NISSAN DEALER FOR 3 WEEKS NOW WITH SAME PROBLEM! I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WITH THIS CAR, MY GRANDKIDS CANNOT DRIVE WITH ME DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE.

FROM TIME TO TIME, MY 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON FULL THROTTLE WHILE DRIVING. I NOTICED THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 22K, AND NOW AROUND 34K, IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A WEEK AGO TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THEY CHANGED A BRAKE RELAY AND DID SOME RECALL-RELATED SOFTWARE UPDATES. SINCE THEN, IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR IN THE INTERSTATE RAMP AS I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I LOOKED UP ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS THE MAJOR ISSUE AMONG THE 2013-2014 PATHFINDERS AND THEY HAVE RECALLED CLOSE TO THE MILLION VEHICLES FOR THIS. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S TAG ON MY CAR, THIS BATCH WAS BUILT AFTER THE RECALL DATE (AUGUST 2014). IT LOOKS LIKE NISSAN PROBABLY HAVE NOT YET FOUND THE REAL SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE, OR, THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION DESIGN IS FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED. WHATEVER MIGHT THE REASON BE, NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THEM TO FIX IT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE...PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!

BOUGHT 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER NEW. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO CAR BEGAN SHAKING UPON ACCELERATION BOTH IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. ON 1/21/2017 CAR BECAME STUCK IN 1ST GEAR AND UPON STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, CAR DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND TODAY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING A COMPLETELY NEW TRANSMISSION.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD VISOR HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT STAY UP. IT FALLS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD AHEAD. THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD VISOR HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED ONE TIME BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

ABS BRAKING WENT ON AND STAYED ON , COMEPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN BRAKES FOR DISTANCE OF 100 FEET, CAUSING ME TO ROLL THROUGH STOP SIGN NARROWLY MISSING SEVERAL PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES.
