POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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!!!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD VISOR HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT STAY UP. IT FALLS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD AHEAD. THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD VISOR HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED ONE TIME BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED MY NISSAN NEW IN 2014 AND NOW WITH 120000 I AM TOLD MY VEHICLE NEEDS A 3RD TRANSMISSION. NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 13-15 CVT'S FOR THE PATHFINDER AS THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE TRANSMISSION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND HAVE ISSUED TWO RECALLS ON THE SOFTWARE FOR THE CVT. I REQUESTED ASSISTANCE THEN THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND REPLACE IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE AT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS. THE ORIGINAL JUTTER ISSUE WAS EXTREME, BUT I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THE NEW JUTTER ISSUE IS COMPRESSED AND NOT AS NOTICEABLE, BUT I WAS NOT INFORMED UNTIL AFTER IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THAT IS WOULD NOT FEEL THE SAME. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE JUTTER CODE IS BACK AND THAT WAS I WAS FEELING IS IN FACT THE SAME ISSUE.

RECEIVED A RECALL FOR OCS SENSOR. BROUGHT CAR INTO NISSAN PREMIER OF METAIRIE. AFTER REPAIRING SENSOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OUT. CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER. I WAS TOLD THE LIGHT WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY ON AND ONLY GO OFF IF IT DETECTED SOMEONE IN THE SEAT. THIS DOES NOT SOUND CORRECT. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO HAVING THE OSC SOFTWARE PUT INTO MY VEHICLE. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY AS THOUGH THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHENEVER I AM DRIVING THE CAR AND ONLY GOES OFF WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE STARTED SHUDDERING AND SHAKING WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN I ACCELERATED WOULD HESITATE AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS WOULD MOVE A LITTLE SLOW WITH CONTINUAL SHAKING AND SHUDDERING. ONCE STOPPED AND PARKED I TRIED TO THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON WITH THE BATTERY AND WOULDN'T START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NISSAN WHERE THEY SAID IT WAS THE INDUCTION AIR FLOW , ECM, AND COST $400. AFTER LEAVING NISSAN I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK THE NEXT WEEK FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE IT AND SAID THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE 2014 ARE KNOWN TO HAVE PROBLEMS. HE SAID TO BRING IT BACK IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN AFTER BEING STRANDED 3 TIMES, ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES AND ONCE BY A SEMI- TRUCK WHEN IT SHUDDERED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. NISSAN CONFIRMED THAT IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT WAS DEFECTIVE. THEY WANT ME TO PAY $4000 BECAUSE IT HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. I FILED A CONSUMER COMPLAINT WITH AMERICAN NISSAN CORP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW. NISSAN KNEW THAT THE CVT WAS DEFECTIVE WHEN THEY SOLD IT. THEY SENT OUT A SERVICE LETTER TO THEIR DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THE ISSUE IN SEPTEMBER 2013. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS GOING TO COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE. NISSAN SHOULD BACKUP THEIR VEHICLES. A TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD NOT NEED THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. ESPECIALLY A $40,000 VEHICLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND THEFT BY DECEPTION.

I HAVE RECEIVED TWO SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM NISSAN STATING THAT I NEED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO GET A PASSENGER AIRBAG ISSUE CORRECTED. HOWEVER, I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTO NATION NISSAN ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER A PART TO FIX THIS RECALL AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PART CAME IN. THEY DID NOT CALL ME AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS I CALLED BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART HAS NOT COME IN YET AS THERE ARE SO MANY VEHICLES THAT NEED THIS RECALL AND NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO HANDLE ALL OF THE REQUESTS. I WAS ADVISED THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME TO DISCUSS THIS AND I NEVER RECEIVED THAT PHONE CALL. MY SON (WEIGHT ABOUT 105 LBS) IS OFTEN IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND SOMETIMES IT IS OFF, SO I DO NOT TRUST IT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I SIMPLY WANT TO HAVE THIS RECALL HANDLED ASAP BY NISSAN. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAGS FAILED WHEN I WAS DOING 5 MPH AND WAS SIDE SWIPED. THE FIRE DEPT HAD TO CUT ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I NEEDED STAPLES IN MY HEAD AND WAS UNCONSCIOUS BECAUSE THE OTHER DRIVER WAS DOING 20_30 MPH ACCORDING TO POLICE REPORT. NISSAN REFUSED TO CHANGE ME INTO A NEW VEHICLE DESPITE MY DISABLED STATUS AND FEAR OF DRIVING IT. I CALLED TWICE AND WENT BY DEALER WHO AGREED THE SHOULD HAVE WORKED.

I HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION TWICE NOW FROM NISSAN, THAT THE OCS HAS A RECALL AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE OCS IS NOT WORKING RIGHT, THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY CORRECTLY. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS TO GET THIS FIXED AND THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THIS RECALL. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN!
