CAR SHAKES WHEN GOING AT LOW SPEEDS AND LIGHTLY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, IT SEEMS AS IF THE TRANSMISSIONS TRIES TO SHIFT BUT THE GEAR DOESN'T GO IN. THE CAR CONSUMES MORE GAS THAN USUAL, AND IT FEELS VERY HEAVY EVEN WHEN FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL.

MY VEHICLE WILL MAKE STARTLING RATTLING SOUNDS UNDER THE HOOD WHENEVER THE HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONING IS ON WHETHER THE CAR IS IDLE OR IN MOTION. WHENEVER THIS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE ALSO HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING AS IF IT WILL CUT OFF.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE PLASTIC PART INSIDE OF THE VISOR FLAT PANEL HAS BROKEN AND CANNOT HOLD UP THE VISOR AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, OR AS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION. BEFORE IT FLOPPED DOWN COMPLETELY, IT USED TO MAKE A LARGE AND STRANGE CLICKING NOISE WHENEVER THE VISOR IS RAISED OR LOWERED. THEN IT BROKE. COMPLETELY. DRIVING IS UNSAFE ANS THE LINE OF SIGHT IS BLOCKED COMPLETELY, UNLESS RELEASED TO THE SIDE, WHICH THEN BLOCKS THE SIDE VIEW, OR RAISED USING OTHER METHODS (DUCT TAPE, VELCRO, ETC.). I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM BUT REPLACING THIS NON-FUNCTIONING SAFETY HAZARDOUS ISSUE IS NOT COVERRD UNDER WARRANTY. THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR IS $340/VISOR. THE PASSENGERS SIDE IS ALSO MAKING A WEIRD CLICKING NOISE AND NOW ALSO STARTING TO DROOP. BASIC RESEARCH ONLINE HAS RESULTED IN HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR CASES FOR NOT ONLY PATHFINDERS BUT ALSO OTHER MODELS FOR NISSAN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE PARTS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENTS(S) OR WORSE DEATH OCCURS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SKIMMED QUALITY ON THESE PARTS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING 25 MILES AN HOUR ON A TOWN ROAD ACCELERATING AND THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN EVEN IF I CONTINUE TO PUSH THE GAS PETAL. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN ALMOST COMPLETELY BEFORE I TAPPED THE BRAKES AND THEN THE CAR SHOT AND REVVED FORWARD WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PETAL. ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN AFTER THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. IT DOES LILE MULTIPLY TIMES A DAY AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON ELECTRIC RELAY FOR STICKING, MY CAR IS HOWEVER NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL. THIS BEGAN IN MARCH AND IS MAKING IT UNSAFE TO TURN LEFT IN FEAR OF THE CAR NOT ACCLERATING DURING ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATION ON HIGHWAY AND STALLED DUE TO FAULTY TRANSMISSION. MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS WERE STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK CAR IN FOR CONCERNS ABOUT TRANSMISSION AT 77 K MILES WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE WITH NO CODES. THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 100 K. THE CAR WAS DEAD IN THE WATER. I HAD TO GET CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ONE MILE AWAY. DOING MORE RESEARCH ON THE TRANSMISSION AND SAW THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE 13 AND 14 IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE AND NISSAN KNOWS IT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT HAVE SEEN THAT NISSAN KNOWS THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY AND HAVE HELPED PEOPLE WITH REPAIR COSTS. SO I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY SAID I DID NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR WHICH THEY WOULD HELP. I ASKED WHAT WAS THE CRITERIA? FROM THE INFORMATION I GATHERED, THEY WILL NOT HELP IN REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION UNLESS YOU HAVE SPENT A BOATLOAD OF MONEY AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. I HAD A FRIEND OF MINE, SAME THING HAPPENED TO TRANS, NISSAN PAID FOR 70% OF TRANSMISSION REPAIR. I LEARNED THAT HE HAD PREVIOUSLY SPENT THOUSANDS AT THE SERVICE CENTER ON OTHER REPAIRS AND HE WAS APPROVED. I ARGUED WITH NISSAN THAT I AM BEING PENALIZED FOR HAVING A CAR THAT WORKED WELL AND DID NOT HAVE A BUNCH OF REPAIRS. SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT NISSAN WILL HELP ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS AT THEIR SERVICE CENTERS. THEY TALKED TO ME ABOUT CUSTOMER LOYALTY. I SAID HOW CAN I BE A LOYAL CUSTOMER AFTER THIS. NISSAN HAS SOLD A BUNCH OF LIES AND CONTINUES TO LIE TO CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSIONS. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SERVICE RECALL AFTER THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE OF THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. NEVER NISSAN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

MY VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO OD ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE A SOFT REASSEMBLY AN REPLACED THE GUTS OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURING. THIS VEHICLE ALSO PREVIOUSLY NEEDED TO BE TOWED DUE TO IT NOT ACCELERATING AFTER REACHING 60MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. IT SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASS 20 MPH

MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE REAR WHEN TURNING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE ASSESSED AND WAS SOLD A NEW SET OF REAR SHOCK-ABSORBERS. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY EVIDENT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED, SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY FOUND THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS FAILING AND SHARDS OF METAL HAD BROKEN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT ABOUT 50000 MILES.

2014 N PATHFINDER 83,000 MILES- I PARKED MY CAR WHEN I RESTARTED IT 10 MIN LATER, WHITE SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM MY EXHAUST. SO MUCH SMOKE THAT I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. HE SAID THAT IT'S DEFIANTLY THE ENGINE (POSSIBLE PISTON RING OR STUCK VALVES) HE SAYS HE'S HEARD OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. GOOGLED AND SEE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER SAYS I'M 8,000 MILES OUT OF MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. HARD TO BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SEEMS SO WIDE SPREAD AND ISN'T A RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TODAY AND THE CAR STARTING JERKING ALMOST LIKE STALLING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON AND OFF AND HAPPENS DURING SLOWER SPEEDS OR WHEN I AM MAKING TURNS BUT YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THE CAR STARTED JUDDERING. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN TO CHECK THIS OUT AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT NOW I TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO NISSAN AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FIX THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE.
