AIR BLAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT 107,716 MILES ON VEHICLE. TAKEN INTO DEALERSHIP AND GIVEN AN ERROR CODE WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO REPLACE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG AND SPIRAL CABLE. WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $1300+ TO FIX. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS WHICH HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN. IT WOULD NOT OCCUR UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR CONDITIONS. IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, YET THERE ARE NO RECALLS. NISSAN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE!!

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH MY CAR'S ENGINE HAS STALLED. MY CAR AT TIMES WILL NOT TURN OVER BUT THEN WILL CRANK AND THE VDC SLIP LIGHT COMES ON AND MY ENGINE SPUTTERS. THE BATTERY IS GOOD, THE ALTERNATOR IS GOOD. RECENTLY IT ALMOST STALLED WHILE DRIVING, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON BUT THEN IT ACCELERATED JUST FINE. NOW IT IS INTERMITTENTLY MAKING A LOUD HUMMING/GRINDING NOISE.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY GOES OFF AND ON. TOOK IT TO VARIOUS MECHANICS AND ALL SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. NOTICED THE LIGHT GOES OFF IN CERTAIN WEATHER, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. SINCE MECHANICS SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG, I CAN'T SAY HOW IT AFFECTS THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR 2 YEARS.

I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THIS MORNING THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED A BAD TRANSMISSION WHICH I THOUGHT WAS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. THEY SEEMED AS SHOCKED AS I WAS. THEY QUOTED ME 7K TO FIX IT AND I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE TO GET A SECOND OPINION. AT THIS POINT THEY STARTED BEING EXTREMELY RUDE. IT IS NOW AT ANOTHER SHOP UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO. AS I GOT HOME TONIGHT I FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME VEHICLES BY NISSAN. I'M NOT SURE WHY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ACTED LIKE IT WAS NEWS TO THEM. BUT NOW I JUST WANT IT FIXED AND HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. I'M HOPING IT GETS RECALLED SO THAT I'M ABLE TO GET IT FIXED.

CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2015 IN AUGUST. IN DECEMBER, WHEN WE NEED TO USE THE 4WD, IT JERKED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HAND. MY MECHANIC INSPECTED THE CAR AND DETERMINED THE DRIVE RATIO IN THE FRONT DRIVE WAS LOWER THEN FROM THE REAR (MEANING THAT THE FRONT WHEELS TURN AT A FASTER RATE THEN THE REAR). CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ADVISED THAT BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE INSPECTED BY A NISSAN DEALER, WHICH THEY RECOMMENDED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAD THEM INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND THEY CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE DENIED THE REPORT, THOUGH, SAYING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (WHICH THEY KNEW BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER). I CONTENDED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT THIS WAY, BUT THEY WOULD NOT EVEN DISCUSS THE ISSUE. WHEN I ASK WHY THEY SENT ME THERE WHEN THE ANSWER WAS "OUT OF WARRANTY" ANYWAY, THEY SAID THE SAME THING - "OUT OF WARRANTY"; IN OTHER WORDS, WOULD NOT EVEN ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I FEEL LIKE I GOT THE SUPREME RUNAROUND AND IT COST ME $312 TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. CS WOULD NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE EITHER. I THINK SHE SAID "OUT OF WARRANTY" 6 TIMES, BEFORE I HUNG UP. APPARENTLY, THEY HAVE A RECORDING OF THE PHONE CONVERSATION (MON, FEB 15TH, 2016 AT ABOUT 5:30 PM). CARFAX REPORT SAYS THERE WAS A ACCIDENT, SO I ASK THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THAT IT WAS A FENDER BENDER. THE CARFAX REPORT ALSO INDICATES NO MAINTENANCE/SERVICE ON THE DRIVE TRAIN. I CANNOT PROVE THAT THE CAR WAS BUILT THIS WAY, BUT THEY CANT PROVE THEY DIDNT BUILD IT THIS WAY. I ANY CASE, IM OUT OF $312 AND STILL DO NOT HAVE A CAR I CAN DRIVE IN 4WD. DEALER REPORT IS ATTACHED.

WE WERE WOKEN UP BY LOAD POPPING SOUNDS COMING FROM OUTSIDE OUR RESIDENCE AT APPROXIMATELY 130 AM. WHEN I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW I SAW THAT OUR 8 MONTH OLD 2011 NISSAN PATHFINDER LE WAS ON FIRE IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THIS FIRE WAS SO INTENSE THAT THE ENTIRE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED WITH 15-20 FT HIGH FLAMES. WE HAD NOT DRIVEN THE CAR IN 2 DAYS AND THERE HAD BEEN ZERO AFTER MARKET MODIFICATIONS OR MAJOR MECHANICAL DONE ON THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR INVOLVED IN THE FIRE. *TR

My airbag light and seatbelt light are on and the horn has stopped working. Frame and front suspension is making a horrible creaking sound and has been for months. Frame seems to be rotted … I’ve taken it to multiple places to have it looked at…. I’ve also seen other complaints on here of people having the same issue! This poses a huge safety risk! Definitely needs a recall for both issues!

The Vehicle will frequently and without warning lose all power while in the roadway. Last evening I was exiting the highway when I lost engine power and power steering. The dashboard lights came on and I had to coast to the nearest driveway. This has happened multiple times before, always without warning. When I have taken it to two nissan dealerships they have told me to continue driving it until it happens again because there is no code appearing. Finally it will happen enough where there will be a code and they can repair it. It always ends up being some sort of sensor. This has been going on for approximately 4-5 years.

STEERING,SUSPENSION,WHEELS

1 complaint

THE VEHICLE HANDLES SMOOTHLY ON A SMOOTH SURFACE, BUT WHEN I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIES GIVING YOU THE FEELING THAT YOU MIGHT LOSE CONTROL. BIG BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT HIGHER SPEEDS (60-70 MPH) ARE DECIDEDLY UNCOMFORTABLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER AND A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE TECNICIAN DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH ME BUT COULD FIND NO STRUCTURAL PROBLEM. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM MACHINE BALANCED AND ALIGNED THE VEHICLE BUT THE BEHAVIOR OF THE VEHICLE REMAINS THE SAME. THE MAINTENANCE MANAGER WENT ON LINE IN THE INTERNET TO SEARCH FOR ANY COMMON COMPLAINTS AND CONCLUDED THAT WHAT I FEEL AND SEE IS THE RESULT OF THE WAY THE VEHICLE FRAME IS MADE WHICH CAUSES THE MOVEMENT WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR DIVOT IN THE ROAD. I HAVE TO HOLD ONTO THE WHEEL WHEN I HIT A BUMP, AS IF I WAS FLYING A SMALL AIRPLANE IN ROUGH WEATHER. SURELY A VEHICLE WITHOUT ACCIDENT, WITH 26,000 MILES SHOULD NOT BEHAVE LIKE THAT. FURTHERMORE, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT A MANUFACTURER COULD PUT A PRODUCT ON THE ROAD WITH A BUILT IN HANDLING PROBLEM LIKE THAT. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS ONE ASPECT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS 2011 PATHFINDER MEETS MY NEEDS BUT THE STEERING MOVEMENT THAT TAKES PLACE WHEN I HIT A LITTLE PATCH OF ROUGH ROAD MAKE ME FARE OF LOSING CONTROL WHEN IT HAPPENS WITHOUT A WARNING. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2011 NISSAN PATHFINDER TO THE DEALER OVER THE PAST 4 MONTHS BECAUSE OF BRAKE ISSUES. WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND BUT FINALLY RESOLVED THE MAIN ISSUE. HOWEVER, NOW I NOTICED THAT MY SEAT BELTS NEVER LOCK WHEN RIDING IN THE CAR. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. WHILE RIDING IN THE CAR YOU CAN ALWAYS LEAN FORWARD EVEN IF THE CAR IS STOPPED ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BRAKE IS ENGAGED, THERE IS NEVER ANY TENSION IN THE SEATBELT LIKE MY OTHER CARS. PLEAS HAVE SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS! *TR

DEAR AUTHORITY, I JUST BOUGHT A USED NISSAN PATHFINDER 2011 WITH 15000 MILES A WEEK AGO. IT HAS HAD PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WERE BOTH FAILED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY IF THIS PATHFINDER'S ENGINE FAILED AND STOPPED WORKING. I DO NOT WANT TO PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK ON THIS TRUCK. PLEASE TAKE ACTION AT ONCE AS HOW MANY CAR OWNERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM. IT WOULD BE TOO LATE IF SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS HAPPENED. THE US GOVERNMENT SHOULD PROTECT ITS CITIZEN AND NOT THE FOREIGN CAR MAKER, I.E. NISSAN CORPORATION. SINCERELY, PATHFINDER OWNER *TR
