  AS I WAS DRIVING ON 110 SOUTH FREEWAY AND ENTER FASTTRACK LANE NEAR EXPOSITION BLVD EXIT, I HEARD A VERY LOUD EXPLOSION AND THOUGHT THAT I WAS RUNNING INTO A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER ONCOMING VEHICLE. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND LOOKED AROUND THERE WERE NO VEHICLE NEAR ME AND THE WEATHER WAS SO CLEAR. THEN I NOTICED THAT MY SUNROOF GLASS WAS BLOWN OFF AND SHATTERED. LUCKY ENOUGH I HAD MY SUNROOF SHADE CLOSED SO THE SHATTERED GLASS DIDN'T FLIGHT IN THE CAR. THERE WERE ANOTHER 04 PASSENGERS IN MY CAR AS WELL BUT NO ONE GOT HURT.

  ON MONDAY 12/9/2019 I WAS DRIVING THE PATHFINDER ALONE ON AUDELIA ROAD IN DALLAS TEXAS. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35 MPH IN THIS AREA. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AROUND 11:00 AM I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH DUST WHILE IN MOTION. ASSUMING I WAS HIT I PULLED OVER AND EXITED MY CAR. AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE CAR I NOTICED THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS IN THE AREA. I WALKED AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND SAW ZERO DAMAGE. (PHOTO ATTACHED) I LOOKED BACK INTO THE CAR AND THEN SAW THAT ALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.(PHOTO ATTACHED) THE AIRBAGS ON THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY. MY HEAD WAS POUNDING AND MY EYES HURT FROM ALL THE DUST THAT WAS SHOT OUT IN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING. AAA TOWED MY CAR TO TROPHY NISSAN IN MESQUITE TEXAS. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE AS THEY STATED IT WAS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND STARTED THE PROCESS. THE ENGINEER SENT BY NISSAN HAS ASSESSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT HE SEES NO PHYSICAL, ELECTRICAL OR AFTER MARKET PARTS THAT WOULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE FAILURE. (PHOTO ATTACHED) WE HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM NISSAN ON WHAT THEIR CONCLUSION IS BUT THE AIR BAG FAILURE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD HAVE HURT MY INFANT CHILD SEVERELY AS THIS IS THE SIDE HER CAR SEAT IS LOCATED. LAST-WE ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION WE HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE REPAIRED IN APRIL 2019.TROPHY NISSAN WAS VERY MISLEADING WITH THEIR ANSWERS ON THE RECALL REPAIRS. PAPERWORK ATTACHED.*DT*JB

  ISSUE WITH THE CVT FOR NISSAN PATHFINDER. HAVE SEEN LOT OF COMPLAINTS AROUND THE TRANSMISSION FOR PATHFINDERS (2013 AND 2014 MODELS). NISSAN DOESN'T ACCEPT THE ISSUE AND IS CHARGING US PAY 5000$ FOR REPAIRS. CURRENTLY HAVE MILEAGE OF 69500 AND JUST PASSED THE WARRANT (BY 3 MONTHS). NISSAN DOESNT ACCEPT FOR ANY REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION STUTTERS AND STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHICH IS QUITE DANGEROUS.

  WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE, THEN SHUDDERED AND STOPPED IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT HAS DONE THIS A FEW TIMES SINCE THEN, THE MOST RECENT WAS JUST OVER A WEEK AGO. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPT., I WAS TOLD IT DID THE SAME THING WITH THEM DRIVING IT. I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF BULLETIN FROM THE FACTORY REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND IT CLEARLY STATES THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY PROVIDED ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR ME TO DRIVE AND TOLD ME IT WILL TAKE 2 WEEKS FOR THEM TO GET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AND ANOTHER 2-3 DAYS TO INSTALL IT. TWO DAYS AFTER LEAVING IT WITH THEM, I RECEIVED A MESSAGE STATING MY PATHFINDER WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. THE MESSAGE STATED THEY HAD REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TRIED CALLING SEVERAL TIMES TO QUESTION THIS CHANGE OF PLANS, BUT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REACH ANYONE WHO CAN EXPLAIN. *TR

  THE VEHICLE SHUTTERS FEELING AS IF IT WILL STALL AT LOW RPM BETWEEN 10MPH TO 20MPH WHILE DRIVING IN HIGHWAY COMMUTER TRAFFIC. THIS WAS REPORTED TO MY DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AT MULTIPLE SERVICE APPOINTMENTS SUCH AS OIL CHANGES. THE PROBLEM WAS PURPOSELY NOT DOCUMENTED ON MY SERVICE SHEETS AND I LEARNED THROUGH THE INTERNET OF WHAT MY PROBLEM WAS WHEN MY DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. THE CVT HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WHEN THE WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT I HAD A FUEL OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS AND KEPT ME IN THE DARK OF THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL VERY LET DOWN BY THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN AS THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM I KNOWN OF SINCE 50K MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD TELL ME NO PROBLEM WAS DETECTED.

NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 13-15 CVT'S FOR THE PATHFINDER AS THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE TRANSMISSION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND HAVE ISSUED TWO RECALLS ON THE SOFTWARE FOR THE CVT. I REQUESTED ASSISTANCE THEN THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND REPLACE IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE AT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS. THE ORIGINAL JUTTER ISSUE WAS EXTREME, BUT I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THE NEW JUTTER ISSUE IS COMPRESSED AND NOT AS NOTICEABLE, BUT I WAS NOT INFORMED UNTIL AFTER IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THAT IS WOULD NOT FEEL THE SAME. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE JUTTER CODE IS BACK AND THAT WAS I WAS FEELING IS IN FACT THE SAME ISSUE.

  The catalytic converter bank one has been replaced twice within a year on this vehicle and now for the year is out it needs to be replaced a third time. I do not know if there is a manufacturing issue with that but I don’t have another $3000 to replace this. The catalytic converter bank one only stays good for less than six months, but the warranty runs out after the three month period. I am not sure around the month, but I do believe it first started happening December of last year. I can get the paperwork from my mechanic.

  On December 5, 2022, I was driving on the 134W fwy around 6:40 am. I was driving around 60 mph in the fast lane when all of a sudden my hood popped open. I was unable to see in front of my car as the hood was completely up and blocking my windshield. I slowed down and crouched down to see in the sliver of space between the windshield and the top (now located at the bottom due to it being open) of the hood. There was no left shoulder so my only recourse was to make my way to an exit as the section of the fwy I was on was around a merge of another fwy onto the one that I was currently on and there was no safe place to pull my car over to close the hood and unblock my view. Since it was early in the morning, the traffic was light but if there had been more traffic, then I would have slammed into a car in front of me and or someone would have slammed into me as I slowed down due to the surprise of the hood popping open, unexpectedly, and blocking my view. I called my insurance and sent video and pictures and they said to take it to the dealership. They also stated that because of a recall, the dealer should be fixing this hood latch issue. There was no warning to the hood latch failure as I've been driving this car for 8 years and this just happened unexpectedly. The local dealership of this car manufacturer said they oiled and cleaned the latch when we took it in to fix, as per our insurance's advice, but this car is not safe to drive as we are unsure when and if the hood will pop open again. When we called the Nissan Consumer Affairs department, the person my husband spoke to stated that we were never notified of this recall.

• 12/20/2018· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  AFTER OWNING MY 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER PLATINUM FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS AND 37000 MILES (CONVENIENTLY JUST OUT OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY PERIOD), THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BECAME INOPERABLE AND, WHAT I CONSIDERED TO BE, A SAFETY HAZZARD. THE INSIDE PORTION OF THE VISOR ITSELF WAS OBVIOUSLY POORLY ENGINEERED AND LOOSENED/CRACKED INSIDE THE VISOR WHICH HOLDS IT SECURE TO THE VISOR ARM. THE VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION, OUT OF THE FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS CAUGHT IN A STATE OF LIMBO IN BETWEEN BEING ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND BEING ALL THE WAY UP. AS A TEMPORARY FIX, I HAD IT SECURED WITH VELCRO, BUT THIS WOULD COME LOOSE SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AND OBSTRUCT MY VISION. WITHIN A MONTH OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR BREAKING, THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR BROKE AS WELL, IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT. I SECURED BOTH VISORS IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION WITH BUNGEE CORDS AS THE VELCRO WASN'T SECURE. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF, ALMOST $400 TOTAL. I CONTACTED NISSAN'S CORPORATE OFFICE TO SEE IF THEY COULD RESOLVE THIS FOR ME SINCE IT HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG PATHFINDER OWNERS, BUT I WAS GIVEN THE SAME ANSWER. MY CONCERN, THAT NISSAN DOESN'T SHARE, IS HAVING A VEHICLE WITH NO OPERABLE SUN VISORS. WHAT IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR BECAUSE I WAS BLINDED BY THE SUN? NISSAN, HOWEVER, DOES NOT THINK THIS IS A LEGITIMATE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS REGARDING THIS KNOWN QUALITY DEFECT. I GUESS THEY HAVE CALCULATED THAT A WRONGFUL DEATH SETTLEMENT OR TWO IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN DOING THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACING A COUPLE THOUSAND (OR POSSIBLY A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND) VISORS.

  PURCHASED 2014 PATHFINDER NISSAN FROM NALLEY NISSAN IN DECATUR, GEORGIA. PRIOR TO PURCHASING I CONDUCTED MY RESEARCH AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THE HOOD LATCH. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS HAD BEEN REPAIRED. AFTER RETURNING HOME WITH THE CAR OVER 170 MILES, THE 2ND DAY (RAINY MORNING) WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY TWO DAUGHTERS, HOOD BLEW BACK (BENDING BOTH SIDES), WHICH BLINDED MY VISIBILITY, THUS FORCING ME TO STEER OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING OTHERS. THE DEALER WAS NOT RESPONSIVE AND I CONTACTED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS. AFTER 2-WEEKS, AN INVESTIGATOR CAME AND RULED THAT THE HOOD WAS NOT REPAIRED PROPERLY. IT TOOK NEARLY 4-ADDITIONAL WEEKS TO PROCESS PAPERWORK. AFTER 6-WEEKS OF PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR CAR RENTALS (THEY WOULD NOT PAY NOR ASSIST ME WITH GETTING A RENTAL CAR) WHICH CAUSED FINANCIAL HARDSHIP; EMOTIONAL DISTRESS (EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS AND SEVERAL DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS); AND NOT TO MENTION TWO PAID CAR NOTES WITHOUT THE CAR. NISSAN HEADQUARTERS CALLED TO INFORM ME THEY CAN ONLY REPAIR THE CAR AGAIN AND REFUND ME MY CAR RENTAL FEES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE HOOD ON THIS CAR IS A LEMON DEFECT THAT WILL JEOPARDIZE MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. IS THERE ANY OTHER COURSE OF ACTION THAT COULD BE DEMANDED FROM THE NISSAN SUCH AS A REFUND FOR THE CAR OR NEW CAR REPLACEMENT (2014)? I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE REPAIRS TO A HOOD LATCH FOR A 2ND TIME. RECALL #15V033000.

  We have a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder and started having issues in June 2021. Our car stalled while driving home from work almost causing an accident. Had it towed to Nissan and they told us we needed to replace the Transmission. It took them 2 months to fix our car. In the midst of fixing the transmission they said the supercharger pulley needed to be replaced. OKAY! We finally get our car and a day later the check engine light is on again and now the horn wont stop blaring. We had to disconnect the battery. WE TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN and they said the battery was bad. They replaced it but it did not fix the issue. Nissan had to call the Nissan Tech Line for suggestions. So they said the DC/DC converter assy needed to be replaced and the HV harness was also failing to communicate. All this is connected to the transmission. With the new recall coming out all of this should be refunded. We need assistance. Any information or suggestions anyone has would be highly helpful.

  In 2017 the engine light came on and I took my car to Nissan of McKinney, Texas. They found the transmission was damaged and they claimed they replaced with another/new transmission. On November 18, 2021 the engine light came on again and I took the car to Nissan of McKinney. Michael D. Riffe at phone number 214 390 5370 or 469 877 0690 was my service agent., after inspecting the car, he told me that the transmission is bad again and I need to pay approx. $5900 before tax and labor. I reminded him that they had just changed the transmission in 2017 so I didn't understand why the 2nd transmission went bad again, he refused to help repair/replace the transmission even though they claimed to have installed a new transmission in 2017. Michael told me since I had added miles on the car they can't replace the transmission and I will need to pay approx. $5900 before tax for it to be replaced. Nissan of McKinney is deceptive, I feel like I was robbed and Nissan of McKinney lied in 2017 when they claimed that they had replaced the transmission because a transmission does not just break and they never showed me proof that they had installed a new transmission. I am requesting for assist so Nissan of McKinney/Nissan can take full responsibility and repair/replace the transmission at no charge. Also, after a research I found similar SUVs had transmission issues and there was a lawsuit filed in which Nissan accepted to settle, I was never made aware of this lawsuit and my vehicle is one of the affected vehicles in the lawsuit.
