THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS ARE NOT STAYING UP AND AT THIS TIME IN THE UP POSITION THE DRIVER VISOR IS 4 INCHES OFF THE CEILING AND HANGING IN THE FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING, AND THE PASSENGER VISOR IS ABOUT 3 INCHES OF THE CEILING. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE ISSUE IS THE PLASTIC INSIDE THE SUN VISORS BREAKS EASILY. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THEM ONCE, AND NOW THEY'RE BOTH BROKEN AGAIN. WHEN THE INTERNAL PLASTIC COMPONENTS BREAK, THE VISOR HANGS DOWN AND RESTRICTS YOUR VISION AS YOU'RE DRIVING. YOU ARE UNABLE TO POSITION THE VISOR TO BLOCK THE SUN AS WELL, WHICH PRESENTS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO CONNECTING TWO DOG COLLARS TOGETHER TO KEEP THE VISORS IN AN UP POSITION RATHER THAN SPEND $200-300 TO REPLACE THEM. NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE THE VISOR SINCE ITS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY ONLY COVER WARRANTY WORK FOR ONE YEAR. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT 18 MONTHS AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WILL INCLUDE A VIDEO LINK FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THE WORKERS ARE VISIBLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE ISSUE. HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=-OJQZBHNU2E THE DOOR HANDLES ARE AN ISSUE I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED AS WELL. BOTH PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLES INTERNAL PLASTIC COMPONENTS HAVE BROKEN OFF. THIS PRESENTS AN EGRESS HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DISABLED AND YOU'RE UNABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE IS YOUR ONLY OPTION TO EGRESS THE VEHICLE. I WILL INCLUDE PICTURES AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE I CAN POP THE PANEL OFF OF THE PASSENGER DOORS AND SEND IN PHOTOS OF THE BROKEN INTERNAL PIECES. I HAVE ATTACHED THE INVOICE FROM THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WHICH OCCURRED AT JUST 14,714 MILES, ABOUT 7 MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.

THE DRIVER SUN VISOR FLAPPED BACK AND FORTH. IT CAN'T STAY UP AND DOWN PROPERLY. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT COME DOWN IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I TRIED TO USE IT THEREFORE I HAVE TO HOLD UP WITH ONE HAND WHILE MY OTHER HAND IS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I ONLY USE 6 TIMES DURING THE 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT AND I AM THE FIRST OWNER. IT STARTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO BUT IT BECAME WORST NOW.

SUN VISORS FOR BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDES. BOTH DON'T STAY UP AND BECAME LOOSE AND FALL DOWN. I NEVER IN 20 YEARS HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH A SUN VISOR. I FEAR FOR MINE AND MY FAMILY LIFE WITH THIS DANGER. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. PLEASE SEARCH THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL SEE MANY COMPLAINTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

AIR BAGS
I CHECKED YOUR SITE AND FOUND NO RECALLS FOR MY WIFE'S VEHICLE. LAST THURSDAY 6/15 AT 5:15 I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE INTO AN EMPTY MERGE LANE WHEN I THOUGHT WE WERE HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG HAD DEPLOYED. IMMEDIATELY PULLING OVER AND VACATING ALL FROM THE SUV I CHECKED THE EXTERIOR DAMAGE AND FOUND NONE. HAD JUST COME AROUND A SLOW CURVE AND WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT WITH ALL THE WINDOWS OPEN, I WAS ACCELERATING FROM 25 TO GET UP TO 50 WHEN WE FELT THE EXPLOSION. HUMIDITY WAS ABOUT 80%. I AM ON BLOOD THINNERS AND MY DOCTOR IS WATCHING FOR SIGNS OF A BRAIN BLEED. MY LEFT ARM WAS BRUISED BEHIND THE ELBOW AND MY FOREARM HAD A 1ST DEGREE BURN. 34008 MILES ARE THERE OTHER INSTANCES OF PATHFINDER AIR BAGS DEPLOYING ON THEIR OWN.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS ABOUT 80 DEGREES AND SUNNY. THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY THE SHATTERING OF THE MOONROOF'S GLASS. THERE WAS NO FAILING DEBRIS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING THAT WOULD CRACK THE MOONROOF. IT APPEARS THAT THE MOONROOF EXPLODED UNEXPECTEDLY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EVER SINCE PURCHASE THE SUN VISORS (BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER) HAVE BEEN WEAKER THAN OTHER VEHICLES. THEY MAKE LOUD POPPING AND CRACKING NOISE WHEN ENGAGED AND CLOSED. THIS WEEKEND WE ENTERED THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE AND NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WAS NOT UP AGAINST THE CEILING. IT WOULDN'T STAY IN PLACE, THERE IS A LARGE GAP AND THE VISOR IS JUST ABOVE EYE LEVEL AT ALL TIMES NOW. THIS FAILURE IN THE MECHANISM ALSO AFFECTS THE "OPEN" POSITION BY NOT ALLOWING IT TO BE ADJUSTED TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD AND ABOVE SITE-LINE. IF IT'S "OPEN" IT HANGS VERTICAL AND WILL NOT ADJUST OUT OF SITE. THE MECHANISM IS SO WEAK AND BROKEN AT THIS POINT THAT WE FEAR IT MAY FALL FROM IT'S CURRENT "CLOSED" POSITION TO "OPEN" AND DIRECTLY IN THE LINE OF SITE WHILE DRIVING. WHILE NOT AS IMPORTANT TO DRIVER SAFETY, THE PASSENGER SIDE IS JUST AS BAD. NISSAN IS NOT RECALLING THESE, BUT IT IS A "KNOWN ISSUE" ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS THAT I HAVE CALLED FOR REPLACEMENT. TO REPLACE ONE UNIT IS CLOSE TO $200 ($194.50). THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A "KNOWN ISSUE" THAT IS ACTUALLY A SAFETY CONCERN AS MUCH AS IT IS AN ANNOYANCE.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
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.

STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN
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.

STEERING
THE ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED POWER STEERING PUMP HAS NOW STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD BUZZING / WHISTLING NOISE. IT IS SO LOUD, YOU CAN HEAR IT INSIDE THE CAR WITH THE RADIO ON. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL, ALTHOUGH IT JUST STARTED MAKING THE NOISE. IT MAKES THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING, STATIONARY OR TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. IN OTHER WORDS ALL THE TIME. THE CAR IS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, BUT THE DEALER HAS REFUSED TO PERFORM SERVICE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY SAY THE NOISE IS NORMAL. I'M AFRAID THE PUMP WILL FAIL CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINING ON/ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN BRAKE WAS NOT SUPPRESSED. BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHEN IN MOTION AS WELL AS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF. AS A RESULT, THERE IS NO WAY FOR ONE TO DETERMINE IF/WHEN THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. THIS ISSUE ALSO PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES CAUSE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISKS.
