2022 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

The rear breaks wore off really fast at around 10,000 miles as well as all the tires. It was inspected and the mechanic said that it’s normal for the breaks in these cars to wear off quickly. I never recieved any warning lamps about the breaks needing to be changed.

My car jerks violently into first gear often. Slow acceleration. Exclamation mark inside a triangle warning light came on and my car wouldn't accelerate over tha 2 miles per hrs. When in park or at a stop light it idles roughly. Rear brakes have been prematurely expired. I have since replaced them

The car is burning through brakes first brakes was repaired under warranty from nissan at 15k miles now the car needed

My 2022 Pathfinder had 34,725 miles on it when I left for the grocery store, on the way while driving on the highway I got an alert on my dash saying "check shift level position", which that seemed normal & fine, and vehicle was still driving normally at this point. That alert then went away as I was driving a moment or two later ( however I did get a photo of it). A very few moments later, I was driving along and the vehicle suddenly shifted into N(eutral)! I pulled over, shifted into park, turned off the car, restarted it, and the check engine light was on. However I shifted the car into D(rive) and proceeded to try to get back home, car seemed to be driving normally, but then no, it began again, the car suddenly shifted into N again as I was driving. I tried pulling over and restarting the vehicle again, but the same thing happened again. I decided to have my passenger take a video of our drive home so that it could be easily shown to the dealer what was happening, that way there would be no question of if the dealer could replicate the issue or not. During our aprox 6:07 minute trip home, it happened another 5 times! Once I was home I found that I had a email from MyNissan saying that there may possibly be an issue with my vehicle emmisions system. My husband has a code reader and he plugged into it and it showed a code of P0742, which is ("torque converter clutch circuit stuck on"). So the next morning 10/01/24 I called my dealership and spoke to service and let them kno

While driving my son to school, traffic began slowing and then accelerating in front of me. I was driving approximately 40 mph when I took my foot off the accelerator to slow down. Before I had a chance to press the brake, the vehicle shifted into neutral on it own without the shift level being touch and a steady Malfunction Indicator Light came on. At this point the traffic began speeding up and I was unable to accelerate until I manually shifted the vehicle back into drive.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while the wife was driving approximately 60 MPH and attempting the stop, the braking system malfunctioned and the vehicle did not stop or reduce speed while the brake pedal was being pressed causing the vehicle to crash into the rear of a second vehicle. During the crash, the collision avoidance system did not activate and the air bag did not deploy. No injuries were reported. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 38,600.

The car ac doesn't work after 2 years, drivers side heated seats not working, computer for stereo and car will randomly shut down

When attempting to put my vehicle in park by pressing the park button on the gear shift, a large red alert popped up on the dash that said "when parked, use emergency brake", and instead of shifting into park, shifted into neutral, where the car then rolled until I applied pressure on the brake. At this time, the car nearly rolled over my young child as it was not expected for the vehicle to roll after being put into park. There were no warning lights or messages prior to this occurring. It was then found that there has been a service bulletin out regarding a shifter issue with this model vehicle. I took the vehicle to a Nissan dealership where I paid $230 for diagnostics, where they confirmed that the issue was directly related to the service bulletin, but that they would not repair the vehicle as my car was out of warranty, even though it is only two years old. They suggested I reach out to Nissan North America Consumer Affairs to request payment outside of a manufacturer warranty, where they opened a case, and ultimately denied any assistance in repairing the defect that has been found to be known about for nearly a decade, yet they keep making vehicles with the same defective issue.

Around 28,000 miles vehicle would exhibit odd shifting characteristics while transmission fluids were still coming up to temperature. Car surges forward while coasting before coming to a stop. Dealership updated TCM software but car still lurches forward while downshifting before a stop.

My Toddler was seated (in the car seat that was buckled into ) the second row bucket seat. While driving the vehicle we hit a bump in the road which then launched the back passenger seat up and forward pinning my child between the two seats. His face smashed into the front passenger seat headrest which caused forced injury to his head. The EZ seat button could not have been reached by my child due to them being in a car seat. This has been reported to the manufacture of Nissan. There are no warnings for this feature.

Rear brakes on Nissan Pathfinder are wearing unusually fast resulting in brakes failing and vehicle failing to stop. I have now had to pay to replace the rear brakes twice in less than 30k miles. Brakes should last 30-50k miles. Also I have not had to replace the front brakes once yet.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The rear backup camera fails to display the rear camera image when in reverse. Upon starting the vehicle and selecting reverse, the camera first displays the reverse camera image, when vehicle is in motion and actively reversing the camera display goes black, temporary failing to display any picture. After approximately 2 seconds, the picture returns. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The federally required rear view camera systems fails while in reverse and activity in motion, potentially failing to capture obstacles or people while reversing. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The vehicle was brought into a dealer who could not reproduce the problem. The issue occurs at an unpredictable frequency and not upon every startup or reversing cycle. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The only symptoms is that of the failure itself described above, no other indications leading up to or following the failure present. This issue has been occuring since purchase, new, from a dealership.

I have had 2 major and one minor incident with my 2022 Pathfinder. I bought it certified preowned Jan 2023 with 21k miles. At 23k miles- end of the same month it was purchased- the vehicle decelerated from 75mph to 35mph on the interstate. The dealership sent a towing truck to pick it up next day and they diagnosed the problem to be a dead battery- the lights on the car remained on all night but if it was the battery then the car would have not even been on. Dealership failed to dig deeper. At 57k miles on May 3rd 2024 after being at the public park for an hour with my daughter the car would not start, warning lights were on the screen such as a malfunction warning. The dealership sent a tow truck and they kept the car for 3 days. We picked it up on a Monday and on Friday May 10th while driving on the interstate, the car decelerated from 75mph to almost nothing, I barely made it off of the exit. They towed it once again and this time we were told the issue was a bad mass airflow sensor. It was replaced and a week later we got another malfunction warning while parked on a sunny day. Currently in arbitration with Nissan. They fail to recognize this is a safety issue and no matter what they say the "cause" is, the same issue keeps happening on the interstate. Nissan is not taking it seriously and they want to give me 3,500 for the "inconvenience" I keep telling them I do not feel safe in this vehicle. I was told the car is outside Lemon Law timeframe. I brought up other NHTSA co

It appears the rear brake pads degrade over a short amount of usage. My vehicle currently has approximately 28,000 miles and I have had to replace the rear pads twice. Once at 13k miles and another at 27,500 miles. Car vibrates violently upon heavy braking. This seems to be a known issue with the manufacturer; however, no recalls have been issued.

On numerous occasions while cruising at highway speeds ability to accelerate disengages. There is no ability to accelerate and RPMs drop, car loses speed until transmission and acceleration re-engages. When the car does this you are unable to shift gears to attempt to engage and the vehicle still shows as though it is in drive. Vehicle has gone to dealer service numerous times and they are unable to replicate the issue and allege that there are no “codes” in the computer. They are reluctant to dive deeper into the issue despite the fact that this is a safety issue.

Water is leaking from my light fixture. Nissan suspected it to be the sunroof. Unfortunately the component that has failed/malfunctioned is unknown. It was suspected to be the sunroof. Nissan has failed to fix the issue multiple times. My safety as well as others are at risk for possible shock or getting electrocuted with water leaking by enclosed wires. The issue was confirmed by Nissan Service Center. I did get Nissan Consumer Affairs involved, and they were absolutely no help. I'm paying for a vehicle that has a manufacturer's issue but Nissan refusals to fix it. But they can't fix it because they don't know what is causing the issue. I have provided a full detail in the attached documents

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at the dealer for a service appointment, the contact was informed that the rear brakes needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that when the front brakes were applied, the rear brakes constantly made contact with the front brakes which caused the rear brakes to wear down, unusually faster. Additionally, the contact stated that the dealer agreed that the failure was due to a manufacturer defect within the design of the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the repair fee for the rear brake replacement was refunded. The failure mileage was approximately 30,517. The VIN was unavailable.

Car has been shifting to neutral or parking randomly. Will stop in the middle of the road. Very dangerous when driving and put me, my family and others at risk

At 24,000 miles my rear brakes already needs replacing but the front brakes pads are in great condition. All the tires on the outside almost smooth. The rest of the tires inside and center have plenty treads

Rear brakes prematurely failing via severely increased wear in the the 20k mile range. Confirmed by two dealers.

The drivers side heated seat has stopped working. My car is no longer under warranty so I decided to research this. When researching this topic, A LOT of other people have discussed having the same exact issue with the same exact seat. In fact, there are people who have discussed having their heated seat fixed and even THAT stops working. I do not want to spend money on an issue that is a consistent problem, on top of being a issue after being fixed. This issue began happening around 37,000 miles, right after my warranty expired. There were no warning signs. I also worry with it being a faulty product, will the electrical component of it catch fire.

When refueling, gas pump stops prematurely before reaching full. Has happened on multiple occasions and and different gas stations. Vehicle only has 19k miles. I brought the vehicle into a Nissan dealership for further diagnosis but they could not identify the cause of the issue.

I have tried working with the dealer and Nissan on this issue, with no success. I don't know where else to turn because searching forums there are hundreds of posts from other Pathfinder owners reporting the same defects in their vehicles. I filed a complaint with Nissan Consumer affairs and they insist my issue is simply wear and tear of the vehicle, which is not acceptable. My 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, as well as hundreds others report that their vehicle are requiring new brakes as well as new tires within 20,000 miles of purchasing the vehicle brand new. When my dealer notified me of the issue I questioned them, to which they also recognized it wasn't right and something has been wrong since the re-design of this vehicle. They also said they can't do anything except recommend replacement, it has to be up to Nissan to acknowledge they have something faulty in the design or mechanics that is causing these components to go bad well below manufacturer specs. When contacting Nissan Consumer Affairs I attempted to explain to them that this wasn't normal, these systems should not be replaced within 20,000 miles of a new purchase. They however discounted me and said it was simple wear and tear, that's how it is. I find it hard to believe myself and hundreds of others who have purchased these vehicles should have to pay for these replacements when it's clearly a design or mechanical flaw from Nissan. I know this may not be the right department to go to, but I'm not sure where else to

Collision avoidance system engaged without warning forcibly stopping vehicle in the middle of highway traffic with no obstructions in front of vehicle. Rear Brake pads also wearing out at less than 30k miles. Pads went from 7mm to 2mm thickness between 5k mile oil change intervals. This lead to extreme rotor damage and replacement of rotors and pads.

The car showed engine check light and auto start error. I took it to the dealer (Nissan bertera Auburn) and the said one of the ground wires had corrosion and they had fixed issue. i paid for the fix. After driving for 2 miles error came back. Dealer asked me to drive back. When I got back they said technicians are done for the day and I should go to nearest dealer the following day. Car is 22675 miles and still under warranty

Last Nov.10 after my oil change to Nissan Van nuys Dealership within less than a mile, i got terrible experience,The Car was stop in the middle of the road and a red Solid oil pressure light show up on dashboard and The Gear shift from Drive to Neutral and get towed and bring back to dealer and after 4 days i pick up my car and now i can drive it again! But after couple of days and weeks? While i'm driving on freeway, Check engine light, AEB light, and other orange light Shows up on dashboard, i get scared again because it losses power and then i stop slowly on the Curb and read the nissan pathfinder manual and turn off and turn on the engine? Before i bring it again to the dealership i try to Diagnose by myself using OBDII FIXD with and Apple App to know what is the code and why there was check engine light and AEB light and, etc.? It shOws Major driving impact -Control Module P061B-Engine,Torque management system P2637-Engine, Can't measure Air flow P0101-Engine? P0507-Idle air control-engine, and many more?

The automatic collision breaking system light just came on. I turned it off and waited a while. I was fine for two days then came back on and stayed on. Took it to the dealer and they said I must have hit something because the sensors were not aligned. I explained I had hit nothing. There is no damage at all to the bumper. No accident reports no damage nothing but they insisted I “must have hit something.” Light when off again for about a day then came back on. Radio turns off and on randomly. Had an engine overheating after I turned the car on a 56 degree day.

Upon routine service at 15,393 miles I was told that my rear brakes and rotors needed replacement. The service advisor stated that they are at a 2 and failed the multi-point inspection. I brought the vehicle to an independent shop and they confirmed the rear brakes needed immediate replacement. Upon further research, this seems to be a pattern for the 2022 Pathfinder with many people needing to replace rear brakes at a very low mileage.

While I was driving my toddler who was in the 3rd row pushed the bottom located at the back of the 2nd row seat. The seat came foward with my baby who was in his carseat causing him to come foward at a really high speed (since the seat moves foward really fast and with impulse) causing him to hit his head and almost causing me to crash. I had to stop in the middle of where I was driving since my baby was screaming and crying and couldn't breath since he was being squished by the seat. The seat is very heavy and hard to push back in case of an emergency from someone sitting in the back row. You have to actually get down to be able to put it back in it's place.

I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE GAS PEDAL GETTING STUCK AND I HAVE TO MANUALLY BEND DOWN AND PULL IT UP WITH MY HAND. I HAVE BIN GOING BACK AND FOURTH WITH NISSAN FOR A YEAR NOW. I HAVE VIDEOS TO SHOW THE PROOF. I HAVE 2 KIDS TO DRIVE IN MY CAR. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY IN THE CAR. I ALMOST CRASHED A FEW TIMES. I REACHED OUT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THEY ARE STATING THAT I SHOULD CHANGE OUT THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE CAR. I CANNOT FINANCIALLY AFFORD THAT AND IT ISNT FAIR TO ME . I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE 3 MONTHS AFTER HAVING THE CAR. I HAVE BIN COMMUNICATING WITH NISSAN EVER SINCE.

Issue I have is when its raining - any water in the doors is to to drain out the 4 drain holes at the bottom of the doors. On my 2022 Pathfinder it is coming out the 4 drain holes but also coming out from behind the inside door panels and all 4 doors causing the inside liner/insulation to get wet. If you see water drops on the black plastic piece in the kick plates /doorways then you have an issue. Is this normal and will this cause issues with mold and smell? It seems the issue is the weather stripe that runs under the inside door panels to the top of the door is not making proper contact with the door frame in front of the splash guard which there is an opening from the splash guard which is also a bad design which hold lots of water and when traveling at highway speeds 60+ and the splash guard get fully it start to splash and go thru the opening and the weather-strip is is a complete seal and with the wind water is penetrating thru and wetting the inside door panels. In addition the front passenger also starts with a gurgling sound and it seems water and air are getting trapped due to the splash guard design and weather-strip not providing a good enough seal causing it to make a gurgling sound.

While driving with the cruise control activated and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) turned on and also the ProPilot Assist and Speed Adjust by Route turned on, I have been on the highway (Speed limit 100km/h) and the vehicle reads the speed limit sign on the exit ramp (20km/h) and automatically reduces my speed even though I am not on the exit ramp. I have almost been hit from behind due to that sudden slow down. I have now turned some of those systems off until they come up with a software fix, very dangerous.

Car has 18500 miles and dealership told me the rear brake pads were at 4 mm. No driving issues. Just that they wore out very quickly. Had to have them replaced

Driver and passenger seats are too low. Passenger seat is not adjustable and the set height would harm a passenger in a collision. Seat spacers or risers should be required as a fix from Nissan.

I have a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, If this model year runs out of gas or stalls in traffic with the engine inoperative the vehicle cannot be moved out of the lane of traffic. It has an electronic transmission therefore the vehicle has to stay in the lane of traffic until towed. All wheel vehicle would be very criticle. Three dealers have verbally confirmed there is no remedy at this time.

2022 NISSAN PATHFINDER SL AWD UNDER WARRANTY. WIFE AND CHILD APPROACHED CAR, THE PROXIMITY UNLOCK DIDN'T WHEN TOUCHING THE DOOR HANDLE. WIFE PULLED OUT KEY FOB AND HIT UNLOCK BUTTON. THEN PLACED CHILD IN CAR SEAT BEHIND DRIVER. THE KEY FOB WAS INSIDE OF DIAPER BAG ON FLOOR BOARD DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF CHILD SEAT AND BEHIND DRIVER SEAT. WIFE NEVER INITIATED A DOOR LOCK NOR HEARD ANY AUDIBLE LOCK MECHANISM. SHE THEN CLOSED THE BACK DOOR AND WENT TO OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR. THE DOOR WAS LOCKED AND POLICE AND EMS VIA 911 WERE CALLED TO FORCIBLY ENTER CAR SINCE IT WAS NEAR 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE. LATER THAT DAY THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SERVICE SAID THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO DUPLICATE THE DOOR LOCK WITH FOB INSIDE LAST NIGHT AND COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY. MY NINE MONTH OLD SON WAS SEEN BY URGENT CARE AND EMS PERSONNEL BUT NOT POLICE REPORT WAS FILED SINCE THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AND MY SON DID NOT REQUIRE IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY CARE, JUST CAUTIOUS HEAT IMPACT CARE AT LOCAL URGENT CARE CLINIC. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH APPEARS THIS ISSUE WITH NISSAN KEY DEFECTS GOES BACK MULTIPLE YEAR S AND VEHICLES AND HAD MULTIPLE NHTSA COMPLAINTS. NONE OF THOSE HOWEVER LOOK TO COVER THE 2022 NISSAN PATHFINDER, HENSE THIS COMPLAINT.

My name is [XXX] and I have been a Nissan Consumer for over 10 years, and this is the second time I have had major issues with my breaks. Unfortunately, I did not send an email when the 1st occurrence happened but, in my brand, new Rouge around 2017, my front and back breaks went completely out and had to be replaced at 6 months, but I continued to patronize your company. This occurrence I am sending an email regarding my 2022 Nissan Pathfinder I purchased from Passport Nissan, Marlowe Heights. I called the consumer customer service number on 8/12 and was provided case # [XXX}. Nissan Consumer line says, oh, there is nothing we can do because your vehicle is not under warranty and there has not been a recall! I brought my truck in for an oil change and tire rotation (which is part of the extended warranty when I purchased my truck) on July 11, 2003, and was not informed that my brakes needed any attention. The week of 8/7/2023 I noticed my brakes were really loud when I went in reverse so I looked up when should a car/truck need new brakes seeing as though I have only had this vehicle for just a year in July. It should brake should not be needed for at least 30-60,000 miles, here I am at 12, 483 miles. I called the dealership and was informed this is likely wear and tear and that I would be responsible for the cost of new breaks if needed. I am baffled because the point of me leasing a new vehicle is an attempt to avoid major costs such as brake and engine concerns before my

I purchased this car with 6miles on the odometer. Shortly after my purchase, the sunroof started making noises. I have been in contact with my local dealership (not the one I got it from) with making sure that when the regular service has been completed to check the sunroof. They “say” that they make sure that the drain is completely good. I have allowed them to “fix” the problem with the noise but nothing changed. Tonight my roof was leaking water from everywhere. I want something done about this! There has to be a way to fix it. Please advise.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while depressing the brake pedal, the brakes failed to respond as needed, causing the braking distance to be extended. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the rear brake pads had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact learned that the rear brake pads was worn from 8mm to 3mm within 3,400; while the front brake pads only showed wear from 7mm to 6mm. The contact was concerned about the excessive wear on the rear brake pads. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

I own a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The front passenger seat is far too low. I am 6' it's feels extremely low and I feel I can hit my head on the dash. However, for people at or under 5'2", it is downright dangerous, resulting in striking heads on the dashboard. the NHTSA needs to look into this poorly designed front passenger seat issue before people get hurt. The current controls do not adjust the seat to go up on the front passenger except for the front driver side. Nissan has not done this except for the 2023 models have the front passenger seat adjust. This is a safety issue that needs to be investigated and corrected immediately.

Hearing a gurgle or sloshing noise coming from front right passenger windshield drain hose areas. The condition presents itself after a rain soak/car wash and or when it is raining, and when driving approximately 50-70 mph. The dealer has not been able to locate the issue and say all drain lines are not clogged and I explained to them that the drain lines/hoses need to be extended because it sounds like air is getting in the drain hose end while water is coming out and it starts to make a gurgling/sloshing noise.

Sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving without any impact from an object.

Electrical: Stereo display and infotainment system often freezes, lags, or has performance issues that cause delays in Camera system from functioning, radio functionality, and connected audio sources from functioning. Has already been replaced, and replacement now has severe backlighting issues, sound quality is reduced. Transmission: transmission often jerks or “clunks” when shifting. Issue occurs when at a complete stop to Drive, or Park to Reverse. Severe delay when shifting. Transmission “reprogram” and “patch/update” was performed but only provided slight improvement. Brakes: Upon warming up, brakes sound like grinding, wobble, and sounds like metal against metal. Car has been in repair numerous times since purchase without proper repair.

Was driving down the freeway and sunroof suddenly shattered. Nothing appeared to hit the glass, it just simply shattered.

I own a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The front passenger seat is far too low. For me, at 6', it's feels ridiculous. However, for people at or under 5'2", it is downright dangerous, resulting in striking heads on the dashboard. the NHTSA should look into this poorly designed front passenger seat issue before people get hurt. Thanks.

Unknown when defect started to occur. Purchased vehicle with malfunctioning Rear left passenger seat belt does not connect properly and seat belt becomes disconnected.

Intermittent seatbelt warning while displaying while driving vehicle. The seatbelt warning was displayed stating that a seatbelt was unbuckled while driving. Drivers side seatbelt buckle, and rear center seatbelt buckle was replaced.

Premature front brake rotor failure casing a pulsating brake pedal and humming when applying brake pedal. Brake pedal feels to fade when first applying the brake pedal. Issue is not "covered" under manufacture warranty due to the items being classified as a wear and tear item per manufacturer even though it’s a defect.

The steering assist randomly pulls to the left when turned on. The dealership did replace the front struts and realign the vehicle, but the issue was never resolved. We manually turned the feature off.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the brake rotors shuddered violently and the vehicle hesitated to respond, causing a 50 ft. stopping distance delay. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that the rotors were corroded; however, the mechanic could not duplicate the failure. The failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the same information was provided. The contact stated while driving 55-60 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the failure reoccurred, and the vehicle nearly crashed into a vehicle that was at a 2ft. distance. The driver assist mode engaged and the steering wheel started shuddering. The contact was able to prevent the vehicle from crashing and continuously applied tremendous pressure to the brake pedal until the vehicle stopped. There was a 100ft. stopping distance delay. The contact was able to continue driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the brake rotors were extremely worn, and the brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced; however, the parts were on a national backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The manufacturer later informed the contact that no assistance would be provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 4,400.
