  ON THURSDAY 12/26 MY CAR STARTED MAKING A CRAZY SOUND. BY 12/27 I WAS TOLD BY NTB THAT THE COOLING FAN WAS IN HORRIBLE CONDITION. THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT AND THAT IS THE 3RD ONE THAT THEY HAD REPLACED. THIS IS A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 50,000 MILES. NTB WAS SURPRISED BY THE FAN CONDITION WITH IT BEING A FAIRLY NEW CAR.

• 12/29/2020· ENGINE

  COOLING FAN WENT OUT AT 37K MILES. DEALER QUOTED OVER $1000.00 TO FIX STATING IT ISNT A WARRANTY ITEM.

• 12/29/2020· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

  LOUD NOISE STARTED WHEN ENGINE WAS TURNED ON AND ON IDLE. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE RADIATOR BLADE HITTING SOMETHING. WHAT OR WHY THIS HAPPENED THE LOCAL DEALER HAS NO CLUE OR EXPLANATION OTHER THEN "IT JUST HAPPENS ON SOME NISSANS" THE COST TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR FAN AND SHROUD IS ABOUT US$1000 ON A CAR THAT IS 39 MTHS OLD! SEEMS THIS HAPPENS TO ENOUGH NISSANS THAT THE DEALER HAS SEEN IT VARIOUS TIMES.

  MY COOLING FAN HAVE KNOWN BAD BUSHINGS AND MAKES A HORRIBLE LOUD NOISE CAUSING THE VEHICLE I DRIVE ABLE DUE TO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE OF FAN BLADES BREAK OFF AND CAUSE OVERHEATING. MY VEHICLE HAD 47000 MILES AND I HAD NOTICED THE NOISE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. WHEN IT WAS INTERMITTENT. NOW IT IS VERY CONSTANT. LOOKING ONLINE IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES. THIS HAS TO BE RECALLED THE FANS SHOULD NOT GO BAD THIS EARLY I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA AND HAD NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE THE 16 YEARS I OWNED IT. THANKS

  RATTLE NOISE UNDER HOOD . FOUND FAN FOR A/C COOLANT BEARING FAILURE FAN BLADE WOBBLE NOISE STARTED WHILE DRIVING TO THE MARKET.

• 12/21/2020· ENGINE

  46,000 MILES. COOLING FAN WOBBLING. FAN ALSO MAKING VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE. NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE FAN. SOUNDS LIKE BAD BEARING. NOISE IS PRESENT AT STARTUP, DRIVE, AND IDLE. DEALER SHOP SAID "WEAR AND TEAR."

• 12/20/2019· ENGINE

  I'VE HAD MY PATHFINDER FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND NOW THE COOLANT FAN HAS STARTED FLAPPING AWFUL. IT STARTED YESTERDAY AT MY CHILDS SCHOOL DROP OFF. ANYTIME I HAVE MY HEAT ON OR A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT IS MAKING A HORRID SOUND.. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST OVER $1000 FOR A FAN AND LABOR? IS THIS FAN MADE OUT OF GOLD? IF IT ONLY LASTS A YEAR AND A HALF, THIS IS REDICULOUS. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE ON FORUMS COMPLAIN AND THEY REQUESTED WE CONTACT THIS WEBSITE. AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2 AND CHOSE THIS BRAND FOR MY FAMILY, I CANT SEE MYSELF PAYING $1000 EVERY OTHER YEAR FOR A PLASTIC PART THAT PROBABLY IS MADE FOR LESS THAN $50. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

  The transmission is failing. The car has about 117,000 miles on it. The transmission issue is a known problem with this vehicle and is causing safety concerns while driving it due to acceleration problems.

• 12/17/2018· UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

  I PURCHASED MY 2017 NISSAN PRE-OWNED WITH 40,000 MILES AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS. THE BACK UP CAMERA WILL SPORADICALLY STAY ON WHILE IN DRIVE UNTIL YOU STOP AND TAKE IT OUT OF DRIVE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DUPLICATE SO THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO STARTED HAVING LOAD NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE THE A/C WAS RUNNING. COME TO FIND OUT IT IS THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY WAS SHAKING AROUND AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED! I HAVE NOW DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS OR DO A RECALL ON. SEEING AS THAT PATHFINDERS FROM 2014-2018 MOST AROUND 30K TO 50K HAVE BEEN AFFECTED YET SOMEHOW THESE ISSUES ARE NOT OF CONCERN. I CALLED NISSAN AND SHE TOOK MY COMPLAINT BUT DID LET ME KNOW THAT THIS HAS NOT BE ADDRESSED AS AN ISSUE BY NISSAN. I REALLY LOVE MY NISSAN PATHFINDER BUT I AM SO DISAPPOINTED NOW BY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DOING RIGHT BY THE CUSTOMER IS NOT A CONCERN OF NISSAN.

  The Check Engine light turned on and took it to dealership on 12/14/24 and they stated that Throttle chamber may have issues. Used scanner and code P0101- Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit was read on scanner. Vehicle struggles to get air flow into engine causes speed to struggle when trying to accelerate.

  I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A CITY STREET, ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR STARTED TO SLOWDOWN AND SHOWED LOW BATTERY SIGN AND GOT STOPPED/TURNED OFF.

• 12/13/2018· UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

  I BOUGHT MY CAR USED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. IT HAS 47K MILE ON IT NOW AND ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO WHILE DRIVING IT I STARTED HEARING A LOUD BUZZING/RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND THE RADIATOR/COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY SHAKING AROUND LIKE IT WAS TOTALLY OUT OF BALANCE. I SHUT OFF THE A/C SYSTEM AND THE FAN STOPS SHAKING. SINCE THIS OCCURRED I HAVE TALKED TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE ONLINE THAT STATE THIS VERY THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM ON PATHFINDERS RANGING FROM 2014-2018 AND IT ALL SEEMED TO HAPPEN AROUND 40-50K MILES AND NISSAN WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS SEEMS LIKE A HUGE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND ADDRESSED. THANK YOU

• 12/12/2019· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  CAR CONSTANTLY STUTTERS, WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF GAS, I'VE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WHICH IS UNRESOLVED AND UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED WHEN NEEDED TO BE FOUND. THE 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE THE FAN WENT OUT. I'VE REPLACED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR AND STILL SAME ISSUE. THE TOUCH SCREEN GOES BLACK AND ALSO IS NO LONGER WORKING. ALL PROBLEMS STARTED RIGHT AFTER WARRANTY ENDED. I'VE BEEN STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES IN DIFFERENT CITIES. WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND ON IT BLOWS OUT WHITE SMOKE AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. I'M SCARED TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE HESITATION AND THE FEELING OF IT GOING TO LOSE POWER.

• 12/11/2020· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM,VISIBILITY/WIPER

  THERE WAS A CLACKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD. AFTER RESEARCHING WHAT THIS COULD BE, IT APPEARED TO BE THE FAN COOLING SYSTEM. THE LOCAL DEALER TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT THIS SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE NISSAN PATHFINDERS STATING THAT IT SEEMED SEVERAL OF THE FANS WOULD "GO OUT". ALSO, MY WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID DOES NOT WORK. I'M NOT SURE HOW/WHY THIS WOULD GO OUT; AS ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE STILL WORK.

• 12/05/2019· ENGINE

  WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND GETS UP TO TEMPERATURE, THE COOLING FAN TRIES TO KICK IN BUT DOESN'T SPIN THE FAN. IT JUST MAKES A LOUD CLICKING NOISE LIKE THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS ARE TURNING BUT THE FAN DOESN'T TURN. MY WIFE FIRST NOTICED IT WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO RECREATE IT IN MY GARAGE, WITH THE VEHICLE STATIONARY. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND IT IS APPARENTLY A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL.

• 12/05/2018· SERVICE BRAKESCrash

  I REPORTED THE BRAKES BEING NON RESPONSIVE ON 10/23/17 WHICH HAD ALSO CAUSED A MINOR ACCIDENT AS THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A BRIDGE IN WINSTON SALAM NC IN FRONT OF THE BAPTIST HOSPITAL.IT WAS MOVING STOP AND GO AND MAYBE WOULD REACH 35 MPH AND THEN IT WOULDN'T STOP. I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES ALSO STANDING UP BUT IT CONTINUED TO COAST INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE SO SLOW I COULD SEE IT COMING BUT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. IT WAS TOOK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE COLLISION REPAIRS AND I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE. SO DURING THIS TIME BETWEEN THEN AND NOW ME AND MY WIFE WAS SCARED OF DRIVING AND WOULD BRAKE AT A FURTHER DISTANCE TO MAKE SURE WE HAD BRAKES. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ABS CONTROL UNIT AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE SHOP 11/21/18 AND WAS KEPT FOR 9 TO 10 DAYS. NOW WE HAVE BRAKES THAT WORK BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE RECALL WAS FOR A LEAKAGE NOT FOR IT BEING NON RESPONSIVE. I FEEL THAT IF IT LEAKS OR LOSSES PRESSURE IT WOULD BE THE CAUSE OF BEING UNRESPONSIVE ALSO AND IT WOULD BE NISSAN RESPONSIBLY.

  WE OWN A 2015 AND A 2017 PLATINUM PATHFINDER BOTH WITH 25K MILES. THE 2017 HAS 20-30 MORE HORSEPOWER THAN THE 2015, BUT THE 2017 IS MUCH SLOWER. THE 2017 IS VERY SLUGGISH FROM 0-35MPH. THE ACCELERATION HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I'VE PUT THE HIGHEST OCTANE IN AS INSTRUCTED BY NASHVILLE NISSAN; STILL SLOW. ACCELERATING UPHILL AT LOW RPMS MAKES THE ENGINE RATTLE (ABLE TO HEAR IT WHEN DRIVING BY A STRUCTURE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE SOUND REVERB OFF BACK TO VEHICLE). TRIED MULTIPLE DIFFERENT AIR FILTERS TO HELP ENGINE BREATHE, STILL SLOW. ANY HELP WILL HELP.

• 12/01/2021· ENGINE

  Began hearing a rapid patterned running at first, which quickly developed into a shaking that could be felt in the steering wheel. Determined that it only happened while the heating and ventilation system was active. Opened the hood, no signs of obstructions, does look like the fan blades of the radiator are loose and hitting the shroud. Given the need for heat to defrost windows as well as safetly operate in the winter with children in the car, it is unsafe to use the vehicle until this mater can be resolved, as without the radiator fans the engine could overheat as well. Will be looking to have the part replaced asap, as the vehicle is needed for livelihood, and with as many people have reported this issue, surprised there has yet to be a recall to address this, as it seems to be the same issue, with others having bearings going out causing a similar issue.

• 11/27/2023· POWER TRAIN

  I am told my transmission needs to be replaced and I need timing chain repair kit. I had transmission service in June 2023 and our car started with a funny noise. Had oil changed and tune up and still same sound Car started to jerk really hard on accelaration after 25mpg then would catch itself up and then loose power. I took to back to place that did my transmission service and they deemed 2 parts in my transmission went out. I have only driven my car for 54585 miles. When I got it it had 48583. I have not driven the car 100000 miles ourselves and this happens. I argued with them because Ihad no problems with my car, we were trying to follow the guidlelines of service for mileage. Now we are stuck with no car and the cost of repair 10,500 that we do not have plus having a high car payment. I asked when purchasing the car about the transmission because of things I had heard but the sales guy reasured us they have fixed the problems with the CVT engines. Not true thats why with the new models they went back to the standard transmission. WE NEED HELP!!!!

THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY, MAYBE ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS, BUT HAS HAPPENED FOR THE ENTIRE 11 MONTHS WE HAVE HAD THE CAR. NISSAN HAS OFFERED NO SOLUTION. CAUSES MAJOR DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING.

  ALL OUR FUEL INJECTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR A TOTAL OF $2,132. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED ON A 3 YR OLD CAR! WE WERE DRIVING RECENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND WE SMELLED A LOT OF GAS.

• 11/15/2017· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  THE BACK UP CAMERA WILL GET STUCK WHILE IN DRIVE. YOU CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SEE THE ROAD BEHIND YOU MOVING. THE SCREEN ALSO HAS A LOT OF DISTORTION ON IT AT TIMES MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OBJECTS BEHIND YOU. THEY PURPOSE OF A BACK UP CAMERA IS SAFETY. IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE A LARGE MOVING SCREEN IN YOUR CAR WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO DRIVE & LINES & OTHER DISTORTION COULD MAKE OBJECTS (SUCH AS CHILDREN) HARD TO SEE. THE BACK UP CAMERA OCCURS WHEN MOVING AND IN PARK. THE DISTORTION WILL OCCUR WHILE YOU ARE IN REVERSE MOVING OR NOT MOVING. ALL OF THESE THINGS OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE AN EMAIL FROM NISSAN SAYING THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. THEY DON'T SEE HOW THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD (YES, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY TOLD ME THIS). ALSO, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THESE EVENTS THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. I DON'T WANT SOMEONE GETTING KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS!

  Faulty fluid pump system Fault CVT system I noticed the car was slow to accelerate like it was slipping. Then a few days later, there was a jerking/ shuddering you could feel the entire car shaking. I took to the repair shop and they are saying it pulled the code for CVT and fuel pump circuit. Car in the shop awaiting repair This seems to be common problem with the Nissan pathfinder finder 2017. Is there anything can be done about this. It can easily become a safety hazard and potential loss of life. Shouldn’t there be a recall or resolution to this problem and Coustomer get reimbursement for money spent with this defective product.q

  Power steering fluid is leaking from my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. Currently, the fluid level is well below the minimum level marked on the fluid reservoir. The dipstick is dry.

  We have just under 80,000 miles on this & the transmission has started slipping. Pulled into an intersection after slowing (we were on the right-of-way), turned right to go up a hill & transmission hesitated. Car shuddered, then tranny kicked in & up the hill we went. We've noticed similar issues when moving from a 'slowing' motion to accelerating - highway lane changes when passing, etc. The hill thing was a stunner.

  On Sunday [XXX] while driving to Savannah Georgia to attend a funeral my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder broke down. I was able to coast off the road out of traffic in the pouring rain. I had the vehicle towed to Statesboro tire and brake in Statesboro Georgia who was in network with my extended warranty company. On May 20th 2024 I was told the engine failed due to metal in the oil. They opened a claim and diagnosed the issue. The warranty company requested the oil pan be dropped and pictures to be submitted to them to continue with the claim. Upon further inspection there was sludge and noticeable metal in the oil pan. My extended warranty company denied the claim. I asked if i could submit my maintenance records to prove the vehicle had been maintained. I was told no by the warranty company and statesboro tire and brake didn't even submit them for me. So I had to pay for the work test had been done and have the vehicle towed back to Grovetown Ga. which is where I live. I contacted Nissan consumer relations at this point not knowing what else to do. They opened a claim and I then had the vehicle towed to the Nissan dealership near me. Which they did another diagnosis and the claim through them was also denied. I purchased this vehicle used from CarMax in Augusta Georgia with 41502 miles on it. Upon purchasing the vehicle I maintained the vehicle keeping up with all of the manufacturers recommendations for maintenance and service. I contacted CarMax to see if they could do anything because they are who I purchased the vehicle from. The service manager at CarMax was able to submit my records to the extended warranty company and the claim was approved. The engine is being replaced after almost 6 months of persistence. It is a used engine but at least it's a new engine to me. On [XXX] the vehicle had 100573 miles. There were no warning lights. The vehicle had no issues until it just died on that date.

  MY PATHFINDER HAD LESS THAN 50K MILES WHEN THE FAN ASSEMBLY STARTED MAKING A CLATTERING NOISE WHILE THE A/C WAS ON. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FAN WAS OFF BALANCE AND HITTING THE ASSEMBLY. IT QUICKLY PROGRESSED TO DOING IT SPORADICALLY WHILE THE A/C WAS TURNED OFF (IT HAPPENED IN THE FALL, SO WEATHER WAS TEMPERATE). AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, I FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE OVER A FEW YEARS' WORTH OF NISSAN MODELS. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR TSB, BUT EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED IT AND DEALERSHIP COMPED MY DEDUCTIBLE WHEN I PRODUCED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME ISSUE.

  When traveling more than 10-15 miles, the FEB/ICC warning comes on without notice or reason, disables the cruise control and slows the car suddenly. There is no way to reset it without stopping the vehicle and restarting it. Took Service Bulletin NTB19-033a to the Action Nissan dealer in Nashville, TN. Despite it clearly indicating that my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder is covered, they claim it is not. This is a major safety issue that Nissan clearly has identified. It needs to be fixed.
