The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently decelerated to 30 MPH. Additionally, the transmission intermittently failed to shift to reverse and inadvertently to park(P) while driving at slow speeds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer replaced the brakes and the front and rear bumper sensors; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact filed a Lemon Law claim. The failure mileage was approximately 15,686.

I was stopped at an intersection red light. One vehicle was in front of me. I had the Auto Hold activated. After stopping, I removed my foot from the brake pedal. The light was still red when my vehicle suddenly lunged forward (I did NOT put my foot on the gas pedal) and hit the vehicle in front of me. Fortunately, it was a truck with a hitch on the rear. There was no damage to the other vehicle, but the hitch went into the lower grill of my vehicle, causing damage to the grill and to the sensor located behind the grill. I reported the incident to Nissan and they sent a rep to run diagnostic tests on my vehicle. I requested a copy of the report and am NOT at all satisfied with what I received or was told. The person that I have been in touch with about this has not been willing to proceed with any further explanation of the report. Her name is [XXX] and the case is #[XXX]. I am concerned that this incident is a safety hazard. Please let me know what step(s) I can proceed with now. Thank you.

The drivers and passenger seats in front are extremely low and can barely see over dash. Drivers side is at its highest with controls. Passenger seat does not adjust. Seems that it is a safety issue if in accident. Head would hit dash. These seats should be raised up.

Passenger seat is extremly low, anyone under 5 ft 2 will smash into dashboard in a wreck. Called Nissan and also noted hundreds of complaints online. They changed the seat in the 2023 model to fix the issue, but are ignoring the 2022's

I was driving down a newly built road at 48 mph and all of a sudden it sounded like something was coming apart at the front right end of my vehicle. Everything sloped that way and then I was jerked to the right straight into a curb and then I hear a big boom. My psi went to 0 in my right front tire and I tried to steer left but I couldn't. My back end went into the air about 2-3 feet. I finally came to a stop on the side of the road about .3 miles from where the issue started. I was lucky I did not veer into traffic because I could not control my vehicle. After gathering myself and calling the police I got out of my vehicle to find that my front right wheel assembly fell apart. The officer and I searched thoroughly to find that I did not hit anything. The bolt was missing from one of my control arms. My wheel was turned sideways going east and west instead of North and South. I had the vehicle towed to a Nissan dealer and it has been a nightmare. The tech that is not certified or does not have the devices to make the call if it was a technical failure says that he has been told by the regional corp rep to let him no if he can locate a part that seems to be the issue. The dealer tech couldn't see anything so the regional corp tech will not come and take a look at my vehicle. My insurance has deemed it a mechanical failure and they are waiting for the results of Nissans diagnostic test which is not happening because the regional rep won't come and take a look at the car. There

Fuel sending unit bad straight from the factory.

Using Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), and when entering a highway curve, the lane keeping assistance did not kick in. Car began to swerve out of lane. My hands were on the steering wheel and I was able to maintain control of the vehicle, but had there been cars or trucks in either right or left lanes (I was in the middle lane), there could have been a major accident and/or loss of life.

Passenger seat is too low/not equal to driver’s seat. Driver’s seat has 10-way functions including raising the seat up and down. Passenger seat does not. My wife can’t see over the hood clearly and there may be an accident where she might hit the dashboard or the airbags might injure her when triggered because the seat is too low. In fact, she sits on a separate seat cushion which is ridiculous.

Fuel door does not lock. It does not lock when the car is locked by security system, and it does not lock when car is in motion. Car does not have to be turned off at gas station to unlock fuel door. There is no mechanism to keep the fuel door locked. There is no gas cap to cover nozzle entry point so at any point, gas tank can be tampered with. Fuel door pops open in car washes and water can enter the fuel tank. VERY UNSAFE.

I own a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum. Front passenger seat is so poorly designed for people at or under 5'2". This seat should have designed just like the driver side seat, meaning it should also move up and down. My wife almost hit her fore ahead few times. She stopped sitting in the front seat because of the low seat position. i also heard from other people. I called the Nissan dealer but unsuccessful to make them listen to this issue. NHTSA should look into this poorly designed front passenger seat issue before people get hurt. Thanks.

The sunroof is leaking water. There has been no accidents or damage to the car. I previously took the car to fix the problem on 08/29/2022 Auto Nation Nissan Miami. They told me they had 6 pathfinders with the same problem for the same make and model and year. A few days later they told me they fixed the problem, however this is not the case as there is still a leak in the roof.

On 6/16/2022 our vehicle did not allow me to pull my boat and trailer up a gravel road hill leaving our RV Park at 31733 Aqua Vita Road, Gravois Mills, MO 65037. a)Front wheels started slipping but the rear wheels never engaged. b)Either the brakes were applied or engine power was derated despite application of the throttle. c)I didn't just continue to slip the front wheels but kept stopping, adjusting the traction selector and then try again until a warning pulled up "AWD Overheat, Stop Vehicle". At least twice during throttle application there was unanticipated rollback of the vehicle. a)This sudden rollback surprised me and by the time I could react, the vehicle rolled back several feet, sliding in the gravel back down the hill. b)This rollback was partially uncontrolled and caused the trailer to back at an angle down the hill. c)The trailer backed into a tree just off the road keeping the trailer, boat, vehicle and 5 occupants from rolling off the side of the road d)If not for the tree there would have been great personal property damage, physical harm to the occupants, possibly even death.

While driving the vehicle automatically applied brakes even though there was nothing in front of me. There was a car in left lane but nothing in front. No crash this time but close to being rear ended. Also backing up i took my eyes off camera to look in mirror, there was a car behind me & BAM we collided. Not warning beep, no applying brakes when it should have.

Was merging onto an Interstate. Pressed the gas pedal to accelerate and there was no acceleration. The engine rpm increased to about 4000 but the transmission felt like it went to neutral. Released gas pedal and pressed it again. Once again no acceleration and the rpm’s went to about 4000. It felt like the transmission tried to down-shift but went to neutral instead. On the third try, the transmission downshifted to a lower gear and the vehicle accelerated to highway speeds. This was an unsafe condition because there were cars coming at me at 75 to 80 mph and I was unable to accelerate. There were no warning lights, messages or prior instances to give me warning that this might happen. Vehicle has only about 2500 miles on it. I have not visited the dealer yet to have it inspected.

7/7/22. Per my wife - difficulty starting car. Sounded like battery was dead. It would click and try to start. Finally got it started, put into reverse, and felt some resistance like brake was on but it wasn’t. Put car in drive and it seemed okay. Had to wait for traffic at about roundabout and the car shifted into neutral. I was able to shift back into drive but the same thing happened at the next roundabout..one again, I put it into drive and went 13 miles with no problem. Had to cross a road and while waiting for traffic, the car shifted into neutral but this time the shifter locked up. It wouldn’t shift into drive or reverse so I had to call 911 (Nicollet County, MN for traffic control. I was afraid to shut it off because I had difficulty starting it. I eventually shut it off and that was the solution to the problem, Taken to dealer, could not discover reason for this There are numerous complaints online about this very issue. This is a very serious/dangerous issue. I can forward the info I sent to the dealer if needed.

The panoramic sunroof on our vehicle unexplainably shattered. We just purchased this vehicle less than 5 days prior to this occurring. It happened while it was parked in the drive way. Our vehicle is available for inspection, however it is at the dealership waiting a decision from Nissan engineering on whether or not they will cover the issue. The main safety risk is that this problem could have occurred while the vehicle was being operated and injured passangers. The problem of the sunroof being shattered has been confirmed by Nissan dealership. We are still waiting for their engineers to confirm whether or not they will cover the issue. There were no issues or warnings regarding this issue.

I was driving on I-24 in my 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. I was using cruise control and I’m sure I also had steering assist engaged. I do not believe the vehicle would have reacted as it did without that. I was in the left lane, and a vehicle began to enter my lane from my right. I made a quick, evasive move to the left. On the left shoulder was a guardrail, so I corrected slightly to the right. Then the vehicle took over and we were along for the ride. It immediately turned hard to the right across the lanes, then reversed back to the left, and then back to the right. I regained control in the right lane. Fortunately, other traffic held back and we did not hit any other vehicle. We also never left the roadway or crossed over into oncoming traffic. I’m an experienced driver, so I know my control inputs were not excessive. I probably did not brake, which would have disengaged cruise and steering assist. I was simply shifting sideways, with no obstructions in front, so I did not need to brake. Things happened quickly, but I’m pretty sure I instinctively steered against the un-commanded turns. The vehicle motions reminded me of the old videos of Jeeps being rollover tested with outriggers installed. I do not recall any skidding noises or whether any wheels actually left the road surface, but my passengers said they feared we would roll. Per the Owner’s Manual, a feature called Intelligent Lane Intervention is automatically turned on when the Steering Assist system is active. The warn

Transmission cannot go into neutral unless the engine is running... but what if car runs out of gas and the engine cannot run? Car ran out of gas and transmission could not go into neutral to be pushed out of the road. Very dangerous situation.

While on the highway, I accelerated to pass a vehicle and the gas pedal stuck down quickly accelerating the car to over 90mph. I used the brake to slow the car, tried to stomp on pedal and ultimately had to remove my left shoe and jam my left foot under the pedal to pull it back up. I have manufacturer installed mats positioned in the proper placing with photographs to prove the all weather mat was pushed as far forward as possible.

Reading all the complaints about this vehicle i do not understand any of them as we have absolutely no problems with anything. This vehicle does not have any design issues except very picky owners that should read the owners manual before complaining about something they don't understand, just trade vehicle instead of making false reporting of things that they don't like.

Wireless charger for iPhone overheated my phone battery and burned out the screen. This could be a serious fire hazard.

2022 NISSAN PATHFINDER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNSAFE PASSENGER SEAT HEIGHT. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO ADJUST THE SEAT HEIGHT. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED BUT, DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.

The car delays start. When I press the push to start, the radio will come on but all the indicators will be lit but the car wouldn't start. Sometimes I have to press the start button multiple times. Forward collision warning sensor randomly turns off. Sensor will say malfunctioning at random times.

On January 16, 2022, my husband and I had to be escorted off of the road by a police officer. Luckily, turning off the Pathfinder resulted in resetting whatever occurred. At that time, the vehicle would not accelerate past 20 mph and showing about 4000 RPMs. This happened a few more times in our neighborhood, causing us to turn it off and restart in the middle of the road. Since then, the Nissan dealership has changed the battery, claiming that it was the only computer reading. Within two days of the new battery, it happened again to my husband in Orlando. The dealership is unable to replicate the problem, and my husband and I are afraid as he uses the Pathfinder for travel with business to Atlanta. These "revving" events occur randomly, and the dealership is unable to contact the Nissan engineers until they are able to replicate the problem. It's two days now the Pathfinder has been in the shop with no progress. My husband and I are afraid as this is our work vehicle and only reliable source of transportation.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the braking system would not release with multiple error messages displayed. The vehicle would not start. The vehicle was towed to the local dealerer who serviced the vehicle and corrected the failure. No further information was available. The vehicle was retrieved by the owner but two days later the same failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to a 2nd dealer who was unable to determine to cause of the failure. The manufacturer sent an engineer to examine the cause of the failure. The engineer examined the vehicle and indicated no failure was found. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 3,000.

The 2nd row seats (captain chairs) are tilted upward at edge of seats and my infant carseat is not leveled as it should be. Due to the chairs seat being tilted upward causes child carseat level to be off and making carseat tilt forward causing babies head to go forward more than they should. Passenger seat is also very low causing concerns for airbag deployment and serious injury to face. Low viability in rear mirror due to large long headrests.

Driver's side TPS failed and did not hold air causing tire to deflate to 13 pounds of pressure making steering and braking difficult. Car was purchased new in September 2021 with 12 miles. Purchased from dealer with wheels powder coated. Since new up to 3700 miles there was ZERO issues until the tire kept losing pressure. The dealer I took it to claims they will not cover it because the wheels are powder coated and that caused the malfunction. This is ridiculous and having a failed TPS and low tire pressure, the dealer Sansone Nissan told me to drive it to the dealer I purchased it from because he did not want to cover it.

Looking at the dashboard seatbelt display. I regularly have 5 occupants in the car. The display shows red x’s across the seats, indicating there are no bucked passengers in the vehicle. The visible display may only show the driver is in their seat intermittently buckled by showing a green light. If safety systems are tied to this display, I fear being in an accident. Please look into this system. This after 6 recalls so far.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the windshield defroster and heater were inoperable. The contact had to set the heat at the highest temperature for lukewarm heat to be distributed out of the air vents. The contact was concerned that the defroster would not clear condensation on the windshield in cold weather conditions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with blower motor failure. The dealer informed the contact that the blower motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.

First incident is dangerous. I have already had 3 incidences with this one. It has to do with the 'automatic shut off system' when you come to a stop light/sign or other reason the car shuts down when you pause driving. Traffic was heavy and it was necessary to pull out quickly on all occasions. The vehicle has such a pause that when it did start to go I had to slam on my brakes to stop so I wouldn't get hit. Took me till the third time to correctly identify the problem. Even if I turn off the 'AUTO', it comes right back on when you turn the car off and back on. Second issue is just really irritating. I purchased the vehicle for the tow capabilities. When you are towing and put the vehicle in reverse, it goes nowhere until you go thru about a dozen screens to turn it off the ABS system. And it comes right back on when you turn the car off. When I am in tow mode I should be able to go directly into reverse. Third issue is just irritation. When you put the vehicle in reverse, if there is something in the front of the car the warning comes on for the front of the vehicle. If I am in Reverse, no warnings should be coming on for the front of the car.

Upon attempting to rapidly and fully press the accelerator pedal to the floor, the accelerator pedal broke at the point where it connects in the footwell. This occurred while highway driving at an approximate speed of 70 to 80 mph.

I have a Pathfinder 2022, SL and a Rogue 2021, both are SL vehicles with the Premium package. My concern is that the passenger seat on the Pathfinder is extremely low. I have had adult passengers in the front and they appear to be virtually on the floor. The issue is that in the event of an accident an average size adult will go directly in to the dash board. I believe it is a design flaw and that any test crash would show that the seat is too low or must be modified to enable the passenger to adjust the height up or down.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle at various speeds, the rear of the vehicle was swaying. The contact mentioned the steering wheel was needed to be operated more to control the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission would inadvertently shift from automatic to manual mode. The failure occurred on numerous occasions intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on two separate occasions however, the dealer could not duplicate the failure. The contact also had a video shown to the dealer of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.

When putting the car in drive or reaching 20 mph, all the doors autolock. There is no way to unlock the doors. If you press the unlock button, the autolock system just relocks all the doors. The doors will not unlock until the car is placed in park. There is also no option to opt out of this autolocking. The dealer tried to opt out and a call to 1-Nissan-1 provided no assistance. This is very dangerous in an accident when it is imperative that injured people need to be extricate immediately such as a fire. The doors cannot be opened from the outside. I was in an accident where I was rear ended at 45 mph. I was knocked unconscious and my foot slipped off the brake. The car rolled uncontrolled toward an interstate entrance. I was only awakened by people running alongside the car, shouting stop. With locked doors, there would be no way of getting me out or stopping the car. When I was awakened, I finally stopped the car about 50 feet from the impact. If the car caugh fire, I would be dead. I explained this incident during the sales process at Pinnacle Nissan. Two employees, four times assured me the autolock system could be disabled. Once I bought the car, they couldn’t disable it. This is a very dangerous situation that the operator cannot control. In an extrication situation, the doors cannot be opened from the outside. At a minimum, the feature should have the ability to be disabled by the owner or the dealer.

The passenger seat is extremely low and passenger can't see out over dashboard. I believe this to be a danger with the airbags. There is no way to adjust the height and it is a power seat. The driver side adjusts height but barely high enough for short drivers..Lots of complaints online. Please have them put in a fix for this as could be a danger in the future. People are trying to fix this with homemade material made into risers also a danger.
