Cvt judder I was driving and then all of a sudden the car just stopped driving in the middle of the intersection. I was lucky enough to coast off the road into a parking lot safely but still a scary moment

Sep 19, 2025

I bought a new transmission from Nissan 2 years and couple of months ago, about 3 weeks ago car started jerking and engine light lit up. I took my car to my mechanic and he told me that it was CVT transmission problem, to take it to Nissan that it should be under warranty. Nissan had the vehicle for about two weeks and informed me that indeed it was the transmission but that it was not covered because I had an implied warranty. I called Nissan consumer affairs that informed me that the service department was wrong and a decision was not made yet. I was treated like trash by Nissan and was thrown out of the premises because I was asking questions she did not like. She accused me of calling names, which I never did and refused to let me take pictures of the vin# from inside the door. She did allow me to take pictures of my vehicle and told to that she was calling the police which was uncalled for. I went and spoke to Nissan managers, Alphonse and Igor about my situation at the service center and that the refused to to let me take a picture and I missed an appointment that I had on with one main financial at 3:00pm. Alphonse came with me to service center and I was able to get my keys and that the manager was lying because I showed him the video that I did. Very disappointed that it went this far, I might be suing Nissan. Because the Nissan supervisor that came with me noticed that the service center manager was lying he did not charge me for the diagnostic done.

The CVT in my 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is experiencing judder and hesitation due to internal failure (Code P17F0), which affects drivability and acceleration from a stop. This creates a safety risk in traffic, intersections, and merging. Nissan acknowledged similar issues in other models with extended warranties, but not in this model despite identical symptoms.

My transmission just went bad on me and the car only has 124,000 miles, causing a safety issue while I was driving on the highway.

MY PASSENGER SEAT STOPPED SENSING SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT AND WOULDN'T TURN ON. THEN, A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FLASHING. I WAS NOT IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT WHATSOEVER NOR WAS THERE A REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. MEDFORD NISSAN TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT THAT I HAD TO PAY 120.00 JUST FOR THEM TO DETECT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEN THEY WANTED ME TO PAY TO FIX IT. I DID NOTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. SCROLLING THROUGH AIRBAG COMPLAINTS FROM THE 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDERS IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

BOUGHT CAR A YEAR AGO, EVERYTHING FINE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STOPPED WORKING OR STOPPED DETECTING ANYONE SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. AN APPARENT KNOWN ISSUE FOR NISSAN FROM 2013-2017. I WAS DRIVING WHILE I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT AND NOTICED THE AIRBAG WAS TURNED OFF. AND LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE PERSON WAS OVER THE WEIGHT LIMIT THAT TURNS IT OFF. I TRIED REACHING OUT TO NISSAN AND THEY STATED IT'S ONLY VIN SPECIFIC BUT YET IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS.

ON 7/19/19, MY CAR WAS SERVICED FOR BROKEN PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DUE TO TECHNICIAN FINDING WATER BOTTLE UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. PAID $638 FOR THE REPLACEMENT. LESSON LEARNED, NO WATER BOTTLES ALLOWED IN CAR. LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER, ON 9/12/19, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHTS GO ON AGAIN!! BROUGHT CAR TO SERVICE ON 9/19 AND TECHNICIAN FINDS CLIP TO SENSOR SNAPPED. NO WATER BOTTLE, NO KNOWN REASON WHY THE SENSOR IS BROKEN. HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $189 TO REPLACE IT AGAIN!! I'M TIRE OF THIS PATTERN IF YOU JUST SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, OR BREATHE THERE, THE SENSOR WILL BREAK!! NISSAN HAS DONE A HORRIBLE JOB AT DESIGNING A PROTECTIVE AREA AROUND THE AIRBAG SENSOR!! I CONTACTED CONSUMER SERVICES AT NISSAN AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY WILL REVIEW THE CASE AND IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT AFTER MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I AM FURIOUS AND EVEN MORE CONCERNED THAT THERE WILL BE MORE SENSOR FAILURES AND AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS IN THE NEAR FUTURE!! I FEEL NISSAN'S POOR QUALITY IS DISRUPTING MY FAMILY LIFE AND MY WORK. I CAN'T KEEP GOING BACK TO GET THIS SERVICE REPEATEDLY!! THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION & RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ASAP!!

The problem I am having now envovles the EMC. After getting the catalytic converters replaced 2 times replacing the oxygen sensors 3 times and the manifold replaced, also a few other things that’s all connected the computer won’t acknowledge that’s the new parts have been replaced. So the engine still has a bad exhaust smell and the vehicle won’t run properly. Mechanic said I shouldn’t have a problem with the EMC but it is the problem. The problems go away once the codes are cleared but come back when the engine light comes back on. I have also noticed that a recall for the EMC for the same year vehicle but for a hybrid.

I have 2014 nissan pathfinder but every time I start a shake so my dealer told me they're is something wrong with the transmission and there's a recall for this vehicle that I should filled claim.

Apr 19, 2025

The rear subframe is completely rusty. The problem has been looked at by multiple independent auto repair centers. It is a safety concern as the subframe could fall apart due to the rust putting myself and others at risk while driving this vehicle. I bought this car in June of 2024 and it was a problem that was brought to my attention at that time but was rusty before that.

3 of my door handles have broken once before I had taken ownership of the vehicle. Since owning the vehicle those same 3 door handles have broken again. This is a cause for concern because if you were in a motor vehicle accident you wouldn’t be able to get the doors open from the inside of the vehicle. For the past few months I have been rolling the windows down to open the door from the outside handle..

This recall has been out for 2 years now and Nissan still hasn’t come up with a way to fix it or a replacement. I’m constantly in fear driving down the highway that my hood will fly up into my windshield.

Driver side sun visor has broken and can’t be stowed. Visor now hangs down and blocks at least 50% of the drivers view to the front. Visor can be moved to the left, up against the side window, but then it blocks the view to the left. This is a known issue. It is a safety defect and a recall should be issued.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a loud knocking sound coming from the vehicle while driving over a speed bump. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a fractured rear sub-frame. The contact was informed that the sub-frame was corroded. The contact was informed that the rear sub-frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 262,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that he was informed at a State Inspection that the vehicle had failed the inspection due to severe rust on the front sub frame, at the engine cradle location. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was determined that the entire sub frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that no assistance would be provided because the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000. The VIN was not available.

While driving I noticed the front alignment was all of a sudden off. When parked I checked around the vehicle and found the driver side rear wheel to be kicked out at an angle. I checked the rear under carriage and found the nearly the whole rear subframe and crossmember to be rusted out. The bushing that held the control arm to the subframe came off in my hand. For a vehicle with only 80k and always garaged I was surprised at the extent of the rust. Had the full subframe failed at highway speed it could have been a lot worse. The rear wheel assembly was only connected to the car by the spring and control arm. After some online research I have found many other examples of similar failures with the rear subframe on this generation of Nissan Pathfinders. No recall exists for this failure. $4700 repair bill.

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.

My car (2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid) has been stuttering/juddering as it has been described by other users. took to my local mechanic who found the software needed to be updated. he was nice enough to take to the local Nissan dealer (San Leandro) phone (510) 347-3030 who did a software upgrade. since then, the juddering/stuttering is a lot worse and doing things it has not done before. they are saying I need a new transmission which does not sit well with me because the car is worse off from the software upgrade that they performed. it was doing much better prior to that. now I get a couple error messages one of which says the hybrid system is overheated - how could it be overheating soon after starting the car first thing in the morning when it has not been running all night. it never did this before. I also get an I-key system error which never popped up before either. in addition, the car has stopped in the middle of the road while street driving which can be a dangerous event! i have called Nissan consumer affairs and they were pretty useless. all they could do is place a dealership complaint. please help.

SERVICE BRAKES

16 complaints

We took are vehicle in for AC service. At this time the dealer performed a recall fix for a break relay switch. After the supposed recall was corrected we had issues. The issues were loss of power after pressing and releasing brake. The other issue was having to make multiple attemps to start car. They happen at random moments after driving vehicle over 25 miles in city driving. The dealer claime and charged 2.5k dollars to replace a transfer transmission part. This was not the issue and we still lose power after braking. The main problem is we didn't have these issue until the dealer made the supposed repairs. There are no error codes for any issues with the vehicle. I don't think the recall procedure was completed or was not completed properly.

Feb 12, 2024

After dealership replaced the stop lamp switch and brake pedal position switch, they came back in less than 20 miles to say that the noise from my brakes was from the master cylinder and brake booster. A bill of over $1600 in which I feel is in no way my responsibility but Nissan and dealership rejected my request for assistance. I was hoping that the recall resolved the noise and shifting issues I have been complaining about to two Nissan dealership for almost 2 years. All of my Nissan vehicle services have been completed by Nissan dealerships including oil changes, brakes pads and rotors, battery replacement amongst other devices/ parts. I am a loyal customer to Nissan but disappointed in their response to this bill.

1/6/23-Car turned off on me before entering the highway, luckily I was still in the street. Took it to the Nissan dealership and they stated the car was done for and gave me a trade in value of $1500. This car was purchased sometime in July 2022. Now The dealership of Nissan is quoting me $8K to fix the battery. Also charging a high diagnostic fee. Don’t think it’s fair their selling cars like these to people where they know the battery is expensive.

The transmission jerking/shuddering problem has been ongoing in the Nissan Pathfinder ever since a safety recall in 2014. Passenger airbag light is always on, even if an adult is seated there. The airbag warning light flashes on the dashboard. Nissan’s OCS system seems to be frequently complained about online. Dealers say it’s just wear and tear which is just unbelievable. Dealers quote repair / replacement cost for the frame and harness anywhere from $1200-$2900. I want to report this issue so that others with the same problem may come forward so a recall be issued.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE NOTICED PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD MALFUNCTION (MEANING SHOWING THAT IT WAS OFF) WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT. EVEN WHEN NO ONE WAS SITTING IN SEAT IT WOULD SHOW AIR AG WAS ACTIVE WHEN IT SHOULD BE TURNED OFF. TOOK TO SAME SERVICE DEPT. I BOUGHT VEHICLE FROM. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD AND TO BASICALLY IGNORE LIGHT. I WAS TOLD "TRUST ME YOUR AIR BAG WILL ACTIVATE". NOW VEHICLE HAS 37,100 MILES AND STARTING TO NOTICE THE CVT TRANSMISSION WILL SHUDDER/JUDDER AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. TAKE FOR INSTANCE YESTERDAY BETWEEN 20-25 MPH THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED TO JERK SIGNIFICANTLY. TOOK TO SERRA VISSER NISSAN IN CULLMAN AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT NEEDS REPROGRAMMED. THE COST WAS 105 AT MY EXPENSE. I DECLINED BECAUSE THIS SHOULD FALL UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND PROCEEDED TO CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HOTLINE TO OPEN CASE ABOUT ISSUES. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS THAT NONE OF THE REPROGRAMMING, REPLACING TRANSMISSIONS, TORQUE CONVERTERS EVEN SOLVES THE PROBLEM. IVE EVEN READ WHERE IT IS A DESIGN FLAW IN TRANSMISSION. I'M HOPING THEY PUT A RECALL OUT FOR THESE ISSUES OR BY BACK VEHICLES. I DONT FEEL SAFE IN IT AND CERTAINLY DONT BELIEVE OWNERS SHOULD PAY TO HAVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES RESOLVED.

INSTEAD, THE MANUFACTURER ONLY SELLS AS A REPLACEMENT PART, THE EXACT SAME VISOR THAT IS LIKELY TO BREAK AGAIN. A SECOND ISSUE ON THIS CAR IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE DOOR. I FIND MYSELF OFTEN TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR OR OUTSIDE THE CAR DUE TO THIS DOOR HANDLE MALFUNCTION. THIS COULD EASILY BECOME A LIFE/DEATH SAFETY ISSUE IF EVER I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND WAS TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR. THIS IS ANOTHER COMMON DEFECT ON THIS CAR CAUSED BY A CHEAP PLASTIC PIECE BREAKING. ANOTHER PROBLEM BESIDES BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR IS THAT SOMETIMES THE DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING. THESE SAFETY ISSUES COMMON IN THE 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER SHOULD BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY WITH A SAFETY RECALL.

Aug 16, 2019

THE SUN VISORS ON OUR 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER STARTED TO DROOP DOWN AND EVENTUALLY BECAME SO LOOSE THAT THEY DID NOT STAY UP AT ALL AND ARE DANGLING ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS IS NOT ONLY ANNOYING BUT ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE IS BLOCKING PART OF THE VIEW. THE LOOSE FLAPPING PANEL ALSO DISTRACTS THE DRIVER IMMENSELY.

Apr 19, 2019

SUN VISORS IN THE CAR FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS CAUSES THE REDUCED FIELD OF VISION TO FORWARD OR SIDE TRAFFIC AND ALSO POSES AT GREAT RISK DURING COLLISION. THESE DEFECTIVE SUN VISORS NEED TO BE RECALLED. THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ON GOING ACROSS MULTIPLE VEHICLES IN THE PRODUCT LINE WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF USE. MULTIPLE INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED.

Rear subframe failure due to rust.

Oct 23, 2025

The car started making a very annoying squeak from the left rear when going over bumps or entering and exiting the car. I took it to my local mechanic to investigate the problem. He discovered the rear suspension sub-frame was rusted out where it attaches to the car body. I was advised that the car was unsafe and should not be driven. I am awaiting more information from my mechanic about the repairs. There were no accidents or injuries caused by this but there could have been if I continued to drive the car. I will retain the rusted sub-frame once the repairs are made. I read three other similar complaints ( all 2014 Pathfinders ) on this web site. I think Nissan should be made aware of this situation.

Aug 21, 2025

Heard loud clunk from passenger rear of vehicle, then started hearing binding clunk noise from rear when going over bumps or turning at certain points. Inspection of rear suspension area on rear passenger side revealed a sub-frame that had rusted to the point a suspension part had broken from the frame and was sitting in a hole in the sub frame instead. Surrounding areas of undercarriage not rusted like the sub frame was.... The frame of a vehicle rusting to point of breakage at only 11 years old is a safety hazard suspension wise.....Suspension parts bolted to the sub-frame at multiple points.

Aug 18, 2025

in late June 2025, I heard a loud noise in the rear of the Pathfinder, that would happen during normal driving and worsen if I went over a speed bump for example. I took it to a local mechanic . He informed me that the rear subframe was rotted. It was undriveable once I knew how dangerous this situation was. I have a [XXX] child. I am his legal guardian and he lives with me. We spend a lot of time going for rides and doing things he likes. I was shocked when I heard what was wrong. Thank God we did not get injured or worse. Now, this frame needs to be replaced and I can imagine the cost to me.I am a retired RN. I have seen a good amount of complaints on line in Google from other Pathfinder owners regarding the exact same issue, Why wasn't there a recall? Will Nissan reimburse me once I get an estimate and the car fixed?This is not fair. I do not tow a boat, the car has not been submerged in water...I Imagine the frame was not prepped properly by Nissan. I know Nissan recalled some vehicles a few years back for the rotted sub frame issue. Now I have to pay for a repair..I need assistance please. I am using someone's car in the meantime. Thank you, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

THE PROBLEM STARTED A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX MANY TIMES. I HAVE BEEN SENT HOME SEVERAL TIMES STATING THAT THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. MY CAR JUMPS WHEN I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY FROM A LOW SPEED. 2 MONTHS AGO, I WAS ON A MAIN ROAD AT A 4-WAY LIGHT INTERSECTION WHEN IT CAUSED ME TO STUDDER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHERE I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL AS THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP IS PURPOSEFULLY TRYING NOT TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM OR THEY ARE TRYING TO WAIT UNTIL MY CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. TODAY I WAS PULLING INTO MY GARAGE WHEN THE CAR STUDDERED AND THEN JUMPED AGAIN WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT MY TRASH CANS AND NOW I HAVE A DENT IN THE FRONT SIDE OF MY CAR.

IN 2019 THE DRIVER SEAT BECOME WOBBLY AND A BOLT WAS FOUND LOOSE. TIGHTENED BOLT AND IS STARTING TO BECOME LOOSE AGAIN. THE SINGLE SEAT IN 2ND ROW HAS ALSO BECOME WOBBLY AND IS GETTING MUCH WORSE.

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2014 PATHFINDER HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE DEALT WITH REPLACING COMPUTER COMPONENTS IN THE TRANSMISSION, FIXING FAULTY BRAKING SYSTEMS THAT CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUTDOWN, AND A TRANSMISSION THAT WAS FINALLY REPLACE ONLY TO FAIL ROUGHLY 4 WEEKS LATER! THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD STOP ALLOWING NISSAN TO SELL ANY CAR WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION TO CONSUMERS. THEY ARE UNSAFE AND WILL CAUSE A FATALITY WRECK DUE TO MALFUNCTIONS. NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE OR REPURCHASE MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ORDEAL AS FAR BACK AS 2015. MOST RECENTLY MY CAR TRANSMISSION DOES NOT CHANGE GEARS PROPERLY. WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL EITHER SHUDDER AND FAIL TO GO PAST 20MPH. ADDITIONALLY I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY JERK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO REDUCE MY SPEED DUE TO TRAFFIC, AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A JERKING MOTION WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPED TO 60MPH AND IMMEDIATELY FEEL TO 20MPH. THE CAR WENT THROUGH THIS CYCLE FOR ALMOST ONE MINUTE.

I WORKED TO HAVE THIS ADDRESSED THROUGH NISSAN AFTER SEEING A RECALL WITH SIMILAR ISSUES ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL. NISSAN REJECTED FIXING THE PROBLEM DUE TO MY VIN NUMBER NOT BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THAT RECALL. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RUN BY MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHICH STATED THAT THE BRAKE CONTROL AND PUSH BUTTON STATER SWITCH NEED REPLACING. I REFERENCE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V380000 AS SIMILAR TO MY CASE.

OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER IS GIVING US INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING WHEN THE FUEL IN THE TANK IS AT 1/4 OR BELOW. IT CAN SHOW US THAT WE HAVE 120 MILES TO EMPTY TANK AND 5 MINUTES LATER THAT WE HAVE 20 MILES TO EMPTY, THEN IT COULD STAY AT 20 MILES FOR MORE THAN 50-60 MILES DRIVEN. THIS CAUSES ROAD HAZARD SINCE WE CAN'T TELL EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL WE HAVE IN THE TANK AND WE ALWAYS HAVE TO KEEP IT ABOVE 1/2 OF THE TANK TO AVOID ISSUES.

I HAVE NOTICED THIS FOR AWHILE, BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I AM NOW AT 6800 MILES, AND WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY LAST NIGHT, MY GAS GAUGE READ THAT I HAD 86 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS MORNING, TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, I ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD 56 MILES TO EMPTY. WHEN I GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT NOT EVEN A MILE AWAY WITH THE SCHOOL TO MY LEFT, MY LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, AND BY THE TIME I TURNED INTO THE PARKING LOT, 2 MINUTES LATER, MY ELECTRONIC GAUGE WAS BLINKING AT ME AND THE ACTUAL GAS GAUGE WAS AT 0. I THEN HAD TO WAIT IN THE DROP OFF LINE HOPING I WOULDN'T RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE I WAS DROPPING THEM OFF. (I WOULD OF TOTALLY RUINED THEIR LIVES HAHA!) I WAS SO NERVOUS DRIVING, TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE GAS STATION. I MADE IT. FILLED ALL THE WAY UP AND IT ONLY ALLOWED ME TO FILL UP 15 GALLONS. NOT MY NORMAL 16. SO APPARENTLY IT JUST WANTED TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK EARLY THIS MORNING. HOW AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT? GUESS? JUST KEEP IT TOPPED OFF EVERY [XXX] DAY? DUMB.

IT WOULD PUNCH IN & OUT & FINALLY CATCH. ABOUT 20 MIN LATER, MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING & WOULD PUNCH IN & OUT CONSTANTLY & I WOULD SLOW TO ABOUT 50 MPH WHERE CARS BEHIND ME ARE SWERVING NOT REALIZING I AM SLOWING DOWN SO FAST.

THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THEY REPLACED IT & REALIZED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID "YOU MAY HAVE PUT IN SOME BAD GAS." BAD GAS? WHATEVER. SO, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY DRAINED THE GAS PUT SOME NEW GAS IN & GAVE ME THE CAR BACK 10.14.14. ON 10.21.14, THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. WE WERE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS TIME I WAS WITH MY HUSBAND & 2 YOUNG CHILDREN (2 & 4). WE SHUT OFF THE CAR TO RESET IT & TURNED IT BACK ON. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT MOVING AGAIN & DROVE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. SOME NISSAN ENGINEERS CAME IN TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE NISSAN REP CALLED ME TO ASK QUESTIONS LIKE, "HOW MANY MILES DID I DRIVE BEFORE MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING (10 MILES) & DID THE ODOMETER & OTHERS RESET (NO). THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS CAUSING MY CAR TO DO THIS SO THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, CONTROL PANEL, YOU NAME IT. GOT THE CAR BACK 10.31.14 & ON 11.05.14 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME AT NIGHT IN THE CARPOOL LANE. WE MADE IT HOME. THIS IS SCARY NOW. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR STALLED AT THE RED LIGHT. STARTED IT UP AGAIN, & IT WENT FOR A SECOND & STALLED. IT DID THIS TWICE. I GOT A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. I TOLD THEM I DO NOT WANT THE CAR BACK DUE TO FEARING FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF & MY CHILDREN. SO FAR, NO HELP. WILL HAVE TO FIGHT. *TR

Tire size Continental Cross Contact 235/65/R18 LX 20. Three tires developed sidewall bubbles the fourth has tread breaking down. It was found during routine tire inspection at the car dealer. Tires have about 40,000 mile on them and rotated every 5,000. Contacted Continental and told them the problem. They were not very helpful. I purchased new tires because having 3 bubbles is unsafe. I went to Costco to purchase new tires. Will never buy Continetal tires again. If you have theses tires have them inspected frequently.

I was experiencing shaking and guttering during acceleration. I was coming from a full stop (red light, stop sign). It shakes, and I have back off the accelerator. When it happened, I had my children in the car on a busy roadway. I would hate to think of what could have happened if my vehicle had stopped on the busy road or crossing railroad tracks. Thankfully, we were close to home, roughly 2-3 miles away. I took the truck to the closest service center to have it looked at. It turns out it is a CVT failure. The service technician could reproduce the same guttering I explained and received various error messages. I have not had the vehicle taken to the dealer yet, as I would have to tow it because I fear driving the truck. I didn't experience any warning lights before the CVT failure. Now my airbag warning light comes on. I called the closest Nissan dealership and explained the issue I was having. Unfortunately, my vehicle has not been repaired because I don't have the $6k plus I was quoted for the repair. I have been made aware of a class action lawsuit regarding failing CVT transmissions. I don't have any information on where I can get help with this issue, and I don't have any correspondence from Nissan. My Pathfinder has been parked since April 2023.

FROM TIME TO TIME, MY 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON FULL THROTTLE WHILE DRIVING. I NOTICED THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 22K, AND NOW AROUND 34K, IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A WEEK AGO TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THEY CHANGED A BRAKE RELAY AND DID SOME RECALL-RELATED SOFTWARE UPDATES. SINCE THEN, IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR IN THE INTERSTATE RAMP AS I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I LOOKED UP ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS THE MAJOR ISSUE AMONG THE 2013-2014 PATHFINDERS AND THEY HAVE RECALLED CLOSE TO THE MILLION VEHICLES FOR THIS. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S TAG ON MY CAR, THIS BATCH WAS BUILT AFTER THE RECALL DATE (AUGUST 2014). IT LOOKS LIKE NISSAN PROBABLY HAVE NOT YET FOUND THE REAL SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE, OR, THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION DESIGN IS FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED. WHATEVER MIGHT THE REASON BE, NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THEM TO FIX IT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE...PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!

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.

WE HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL SHOW THAT THERE IS NO BODY IN THE SEAT EVEN WHEN THERE IS SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT.

I purchased my car 1 year ago. Since then my car has continued to stutter. Sometimes its a suttle stutter, most times its very noticeable and has continued to get worse in the short time I've had my car. I commute 1 hour to work and 1 hour home from work and am very concerned traveling on the highway at high speeds with this issue. I've asked a dealership in Hutchinson, KS to help me with this issue as I am concerned the CVT valve in the transmission has not been fixed and they won't help me. They tell me that since their tech does not witness the stutter during their brief test drive there is nothing they can do to help. I've read several complaints on nhtsa.gov from other customers as well and they are consistent with my concern.

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY NEW NISSAN PATHFINDER 2014. 1. CRUISE CONTROL INTERMITTENTLY DISENGAGES GOING DOWN A SHALLOW BUT STRAIGHT ROAD. IN A 3 TO 4 MILE DRIVING STRETCH, IT WILL, AT TIMES, DISENGAGE 2 TO 3 TIMES. 2. THE 'SET' AND 'RESUME' TOGGLE SWITCH AT TIMES THEN DOES NOT RE-ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE SWITCH ACTS DEAD. I THEN HAVE TO SWITCH OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THEN SWITCH IT BACK ON TO HAVE THE TOGGLES SWITCH WORK BUT NOT ALWAYS. 3. THE CRUISE AND SET INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DO NOT FLICKER. THE NISSAN DEALER CARRIED OUT A TEST RUN AND FOUND THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGING EXACTLY AS STATED ABOVE. THEY REPLACED PART #25550-3KS1A, SWITCH ASSEMBLY-STE, TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT. THEY REITERATE THAT SUCH A CONDITION OF CRUISE DISENGAGEMENT AS STATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL IS CONSIDERED NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE. HAVING READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL, I DO NOT FIND ANY MENTION OF THE TOGGLE SWITCH INTERMITTENTLY ACTING DEAD AFTER DISENGAGEMENT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL NOR THE HIGH FREQUENCY OF THE DISENGAGEMENT. THIS CONDITION IS CAUSING ME TO CONCENTRATE MORE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RATHER THAN ON THE ROAD. I AM REPEATEDLY UNSURE WHETHER THE CRUISE IS ENGAGED OR NOT. THIS DISTRACTION COULD RESULT IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. IT''S LIKE TEXTING WHILE DRIVING. EITHER WAY, THE END RESULT WOULD BE AN AVOIDABLE FATALITY(S).THIS CONDITION CLEARLY AMOUNTS TO A ROAD SAFETY HAZARD. THE MANUFACTURER, BY MERELY STATING THAT THE CRUISE MAY DISENGAGE DRIVING DOWN IN HILLY TERRAIN CANNOT ABSOLVE ITSELF OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR. SUCH HIGH FREQUENCY OF CRUISE DISENGAGEMENT AND TOGGLE SWITCH FAILURE CANNOT BE CONSIDERED NORMAL. MORE THAN LIKELY A SOFTWARE DESIGN PROBLEM. *TR

Pressing the gas pedal from a full stop resulted in no car accleration (aside from normal car rolling forward from taking foot off of brake) and no engine 'acceleration'. Only when I pressed hard enough did the car suddenly lurch forward/accelerate. This is very risky, as I had been making a turn I would potentially be blocking the incoming lane. In addition, after parking in a parking lot, and turning off the car, I noticed that the brake lights were still lit up.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that upon closing the hood, the hood failed to latch securely. The contact released the hood release lever on the secondary hood latch, allowing the hood lock release cable to hold the hood in place and to prevent the hood from unexpectedly opening. Additionally, the contact stated that the front driver's side sun visor clips had fractured, causing the sun visor to lower, obstructing the visibility of the roadway while driving. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V420000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that there was no failure with the secondary latch. The dealer lubricated the hood lock assembly and the secondary hood latch; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Alternator failed, Broken Tensioner, Catalytic converters bad, Engine misfiring, Brake failure. Discovered odometer disclosure is incorrect and VIN is wrong on the inspection certification. Odometers to the best of my knowledge only move forward, not backward unless they are tampered with or the information presented is fraudulent. I could have nearly been injured fatally, when the car stopped on three separate occasions and ultimately the brakes failed. I had the car less than 1 month in my possession and out of approximately 30 days, it did not run consecutively for 7 days. This information was turned into the Virginia State Police - Office of Inspections; however, they found no fault, but this is a clear misrepresentation of vehicle identification and mileage.

While driving on the parkway several times for traveling to work, my car would suddenly and violently shudder and drop speed much lower than the posted speed limit. My RPMs would race from 1.5 to 5 but no increase in speed when the accelerator was pushed. I had to put my emergency 4 way lights on and drive in the far right lane. Nissan dealership kept saying the vehicle was working fine when I complained about it. I took it in for service at least twice, nothing found. Then when my whole family was with me, the car shuddered violently, and would not respond at all with the accelator pedal and was unresponsive and the brakes difficult to engage and hard to steer. I had to glide into the shoulder to make a full stop. Then the engine would not turn off. All I could do was put my emergency flashers on and put the windows down for air. I had to call for help. My husband then tried the next day to drive my vehicle to the Nissan dealership, but again, the vehicle broke down and had to be towed. Nissan then finally diagnosed the problems as needing transmission replacement. Since it is a hybrid 2014 Nissan Pathfinder with less than 84,000 miles and over 7 years old I would need to buy a new transmission for over $14,000. My milage is under 73,500, but my vehicle is 9 years old. So my mileage is acceptable, but the age of the vehicle disqualifies me, because both parameters must be met for warranty to be effective. I already spent $1400 for a new air compressor system less than 3 months earlier for the same vehicle. I had no heat and no air conditioner.

This went on for a minute and no matter how many times I pressed the gas pedal nothing happened I was absolutely terrified of the cars and semis behind me because it was a freeway and traffic flow started moving quick and I was still at less than 5mph Suddenly the car jerked and at last speed. I drove off with the car working normal again but that situation has be very worried and scared because it is my main transportation for my 3 children

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.

June 2021 I brought my 2014 Nissan Pathfinder in for routine maintenance. I was informed there was a recall for the 'Brake Switch'. I had not received notice for this recall but east Charlotte Nissan insisted it get done. Until this date I had NO problems with this vehicle. Right after the recall was done I was driving thru a round-a-bout, tapped the brakes and then had NO Acceleration. There was a semi-truck on my bumper and I had no where to go. I immediately brought the vehicle back to EC and they insisted it was my transmission. They said they found no issues and charged me for work that was not necessary. I continued to brake down 4 more times pulling my trailer from NC to ME. Two incidents were on I81N. I had semi-trucks all around me. Panicked!! I had the vehicle into 4 different dealers, 6 different times. They could not fix the issue. I asked Berlin City Nissan to at least replace the recall parts. They did. My vehicle totally broke down this time, again going thru a round-a-bout. Every light on the dash was flashing. I had no control of the vehicle but was able to roll onto the sidewalk. I was too afraid to drive this vehicle any further. I called a tow truck. Several dealers explained they had seen this already and thought they could repair. None Could. Marc Motors sent that vehicle off to auction, as is!!! I have nightmares of some mom breaking down with her kids in the car. I have filed complaints with Nissan, 10 different departments. Nissan Corporate is telling me the NHTSA is responsible for the Nightmare Nissan has caused me and have 'brushed me off'. I am now in a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder and have identified 3 different issues with the vehicle. One of which is very dangerous. Not sure where to go next. I have all the documentation to back up my claim. Can you help?

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER HYBRID WHICH YOU SHOULD NOTIFY OTHER CUSTOMERS OF AS WELL. THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR IS USED TO COOL THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY SYSTEM AND HOLD OFF BATTERY FAILURE. THERE ARE NO SENSORS OR FEEDBACK MONITORING OF THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR TO CONFIRM IT IS OPERATIONAL. THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR OF MY PATHFINDER HAS DIED 3 TIMES WITHOUT ISSUING EITHER A SERVICE CODE OR ANY INDICATION OF A SYSTEM FAILURE. THIS HAS THEN LED TO THE DEATH OF THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY PACK. THE FIRST FAILURE HAPPENED IN 2016 AT 37,000 MILES AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE A MODULUS OF ROUGHLY 35,000 BETWEEN DEATHS AND SHOULD BE PRO-ACTIVELY REPLACED BY THE OWNER TO PREVENT THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY FROM HAVING TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY INDICATION TO THE USER THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG IS THAT THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE LANE UNTIL A POLICE VEHICLE ARRIVED. THE NEXT TIME WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN I WAS ON SIDE STREETS WHERE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN UNLIT ROAD, WITH THE BATTERY DYING COMPLETELY AFTER AN HOUR WHILE WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. THE LAST ROUND HAPPENED 3 WEEKS AGO (ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON THANKFULLY WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT POSSIBILITY) - THE CAR WENT INTO THE SHOP AND THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT NOT THE REAR BLOWER (AS THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE FAILURE). I GOT THE CAR BACK FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS BEFORE THE CAR DIED AGAIN WITH THE SAME ERROR - AT WHICH POINT THE TECHNICIANS IDENTIFIED THE REAR BLOWER DIED (AGAIN). YOU SHOULD NOTIFY OTHER CUSTOMERS OF THIS 5 YEAR OLD PRODUCT OF THE DESIGN DEFECT AND THE NEED TO CHECK THE BLOWER FAN REGULARLY TO ENSURE THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY HAS A LONG LIFE.

I HAD 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND PASSED WITH NO ISSUES IN JUNE 2019. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT, I DROVE ALL MORNING WITH NO TYPE OF INCIDENTS. MY NIECE, WHO LIVES ON A HILL WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND I PICKED HER THAT MORNING FROM HER HOUSE. SHE HAD TO RETURNED TO HER HOUSE LATER THAT MORNING FOR AN ITEM SO I DROVE BACK UP THE HILL, WAITED FOR HER IN HER DRIVEWAY, LEFT HER HOUSE AND AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HILL I REALIZED THAT MY BRAKES WAS NOT FUNCTIONING, MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD TURNED ON. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WASN'T WORKING AND I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR. I KEPT PRESSING MY BRAKES AND NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. IT JUST KEPT GOING! AT THAT POINT, I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE THE BEST PLACE TO CRASH. I CAME DOWN THE HILL CROSSED OVER ONE OF THE MAIN ROADS AND STEERED MY CAR INTO A FENCE AND WE HIT A TREE. ALL OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I WAS GRATEFUL THAT BOTH MY NIECE AND I HAD NO MAJOR INJURIES. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAD NO ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES IN THE PAST! I DID FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SOFTWARE IN THE 2013 AND 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDERS MODEL-YEARS AND THERE WAS A RECALL. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN 2014 HOWEVER I NEVER GOT A RECALL NOTICE. I ALSO HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICE AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND BRAKE SOFTWARE FAILURES WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED TO ME. SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG WITH MY BRAKES OR THE SOFTWARE THAT DAY.

SOMETIMES MY PATHFINDER DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM TRYING TO DRIVE AFTER A STOP SIGN OR A RED LIGHT, BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL EVEN HAPPEN WHEN I'M TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. IT'S INTERMITTENT, SO IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME.

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS SUV HAD TO HAVE REAR SHOCK/STRUT REPLACED. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL HAS BEEN REPLACED. PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COMES ON WHEN PERSON IS SITTING THERE. CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE SUV HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR EACH ISSUE THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 6 PLUS TIMES AND I JUST PICKED UP THE 2014 PATHFINDER 8-16-2016 AND WAS TOLD AND HAVE IT ON MY INVOICE THAT THE SERVICE TECH DROVE THE SUV AND FEELS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING OR SKIPPING BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO NISSAN POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT SHOWING A CODE. SO I HAVE A 2014 PATHFINDER THAT IS A COMPLETE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. THE SUV WILL CUT OUT, SLIP, SHUTTER, LOSE POWER AND HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING AND ACCIDENT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHICH IS TERRIBLE FOR WHO EVER WAS TO HIT ME AND ALSO COULD BE FATAL IF I WAS TO BE HIT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY COULD REALLY HURT/KILL THE PASSENGER. EVERY EXCUSE I GET FROM NISSAN IS THEY REPROGRAMMED THE CAR AND THIS NEVER FIXED ANYTHING. THE CAR WAS HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES BACK BEFORE IT MADE IT TO 30,000 MILES AND NOW AT 55,000 MILES THE SUV IS HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX. NISSAN INSTEAD PUTS THIS SUV BACK ON THE ROAD KNOWING IT IS HAVING A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ACCELERATION AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR-BAG AND PUTTING PEOPLE AT RISK. I AM REQUESTING NISSAN TO DO A BUY BACK OF THIS SUV. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT WITH ANOTHER FAULTY TRANSMISSION OR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT IN FEDERAL COURT IN FLORIDA WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. SO OBLIVIOUSLY THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY (39, BEACH BLVD IN BUENA PARK, CA.) PROCEEDING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD THE THIRD ROW LEFT SEAT BELT ANCHOR BECAME UNATTACHED FROM THE SEAT/VEHICLE FRAME WHILE IN USE BY AN ADULT THAT WAS OCCUPYING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE THIRD ROW SEAT. THE ANCHOR OF THE BELT WHERE THE BELT BUCKLE LATCHES INTO CAME COMPLETELY LOOSE FROM THE CAR, ENDANGERING THE ADULT OCCUPANT. THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY BREAK BUT LIKELY DEFECT AS THERE WERE NO BROKEN, CRACKED OR DAMAGED PARTS VISIBLY SEEN. NISSAN U.S.A. WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THE SITUATION AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH US DUE TO THE INDIVIDUAL BEING UNFAMILIAR WITH THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ENOUGH TO COMPREHEND NORMAL AND RELEVANT CONVERSATION AND DETAILS ABOUT THEIR PRODUCT. A CALL BACK TO THE SAME NUMBER PROVIDED BY NISSAN U.S.A. ENCOUNTERED THE SAME DIFFICULTY AND AN OVERALL DISREGARD OF THE PROBLEM. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP INSTRUCTED US THAT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL, WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. OUR THIRD ROW IS ONLY UTILIZED RARELY WHEN WE HAVE MORE THAN 4 OCCUPANTS, AND HAS ONLY BEEN USED 3 TIMES. NO ABUSE OF THE BUCKLE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL HAS OCCURRED. THE PASSENGER IN THIS CASE COULD HAVE BEEN EJECTED FATALLY IN A COLLISION.

LUCKILY, MY VISOR WAS CLOSED OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE WITH GLASS FALLING ON MY HEAD AND FACE. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE, BUT UPON FURTHER RESEARCH IT SEEMS TO BE A MUCH MORE COMMON OCCURRENCE THAN THAN I WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF MY VISOR HAD BEEN LEFT OPEN.

I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT NISSAN SAID THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT WASN'T WORKING. I FEEL THAT NISSAN IS NOT HONORING THEIR WARRANTY, I BOUGHT A NEW CAR AND THE LIGHT ISN'T WORKING AND I CAN'T BE SURE THE AIRBAG IS WORKING EITHER. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC KEY, I WAS GIVEN A NEW BATTERY IN MY FOB BUT I STILL CONTINUE TO GET A NO KEY DETECTED AT DIFFERENT TIMES EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS RUNNING THE DASH WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN SAY NO KEY DETECTED. MY LAST PROBLEM IS WITH THE CAR ROLLING BACK ON A HILL, I PURCHASED AN AUTOMATIC, WHEN STOPPED ON A HILL I HAVE TO GUN THE ACCELERATOR TO STOP THE CAR FROM ROLLING BACK ON THE CAR BEHIND ME. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME TO TREAT THE CAR LIKE A MANUAL AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO THAT NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR ANYMORE TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW CAR, IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THEY SHOULD FIX IT. AGAIN I HAVE HAD MY SUV INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WE HAVE A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER SL, WITH 3551 MILES ON IT. WE PURCHASED IT USED ON 8-6-2014 WITH APPROXIMATELY 2240 MILES ON IT, WE ARE THE SECOND OWNER. ON 8-20-2014, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS AN INTERSTATE FROM AN ON-RAMP WE EXPERIENCED A SHUTTER AND STRONG SHAKING OF OUR 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER SL, AT THAT TIME IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 3336 MILES ON IT. WE WERE FORCED TO PULL OVER, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT TO CONTINUE ON THE INTERSTATE BUT DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT DAY. THE FOLLOWING SIX DAYS THE CAR BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING BUT IT WOULD USUALLY BE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I DID RESEARCH ON THE TRANSMISSION AND FOUND THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS RIFE WITH PROBLEMS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (NOT WHERE WE PURCHASED IT) AND THEY RAN A DYNAMOMETER DIAGNOSTICS ON THE CAR AND SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AS WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE THE TECH MENTIONED THAT THE RECORDS SHOWED THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES. ALSO, I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP, WHO IS GOING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, THAT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THROUGH TO THE NISSAN "CVT HOTLINE" TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND ARRANGE FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WILL BE REPLACED BUT THAT NISSAN IS THE HOLD UP. IT IS EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE THAT A CAR MANUFACTURING COMPANY CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS AND FORCE CUSTOMER TO WAIT FOR A RESOLUTION WHEN THEY KNOW (AND HAVE KNOWN FOR YEARS) THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE A PUSH BY OUR GOVERNMENT TO RESOLVE THIS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND POSSIBLY A VERY LARGE FINE FOR NISSAN'S DECEPTIVE PRACTICES BY DENYING THIS PROBLEM, BASED ON OTHER PEOPLE'S REPORTS WHO HAD REPORTED THIS SAME CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM DATING AS FAR BACK AS 2003 . *TR

THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. I TOOK IT IN ABOUT A WEEK LATER AND THEY STILL COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. I WAS IN THE AREA OF THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED. I ARRIVED AT DEALERSHIP AND SUPERVISOR WENT FOR A RIDE WITH ME AND WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. IT TOOK THEM ABOUT A WEEK TO GET THE PART AND HAD MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A FULL WEEK TO INSTALL TRANSMISSION. ONCE I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK FROM THEM I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING. AFTER ABOUT 5 TRIES, THE VEHICLE WOULD START AND ALL MILEAGE AND FUEL GAUGES WOULD GO BACK TO ZERO. I WAS RECENTLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THE BATTERY WAS HALF DEAD. THEY RECHARGED THE BATTERY LAST MONDAY, JUNE 16TH. I HAD NO ISSUES FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS AND ON THURSDAY, JUNE 19TH, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. IT TOOK MANY TRIES TO GET IT STARTED. I HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALER AGAIN TODAY.

LATER TOLD THE DTC CODE NEEDED TO BE CLEARED. 3 HRS LATER WAS TOLD THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. D) PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STILL NOT WORKING AT APPROX. 2500 MILES. INTERMITTENT AFTER THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IS REPLACED. E) AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE REPLACED - AIRBAG INDICATOR STILL NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TOLD ME THE CAR IS NOT GOING TO BE RECALLED. I SHOULD GET THE VEHICLE FIXED AT A DEALER. STILL NISSAN DOES NOT THINK THERE IS ANY MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AND IT IS NOT A LEMON AND SHOULD NOT BE REPLACED. F) READ ALL DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE RECALL NOTICE ON NHTSA'S WEBSITE. NONE OF THE DOCUMENTS MENTION THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT INDICATOR (AUDIO OR VISUAL INDICATOR). ISSUE IS WHEN THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY MODULE FAILS, I BELIEVE THE SEAT BELT INDICATOR IS ALSO NOT WORKING CORRECTLY EITHER. I WROTE TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THEY DO NOT SEEM TO CARE, NHTSA [XXX] INSTRUCTED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I JUST WANT NISSAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX THE SEAT BELT ISSUE ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG SO CONSUMERS ARE SAFE. I AM NOT SURE IF THE SHIFTER IS RELATED OR NOT BUT IT IS ODD SEVERAL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS FAILED. DEALER WANTS TO REPLACE ALL SENSORS, I DO NOT THINK IT WILL FIX IT. NISSAN INSISTS MY VEHICLE IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY CAMPAIGN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
