AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL FOR THE BRAKES TOP LAMP SWITCH & PASSENGER AIR BAG DETECTION. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP & WAS NOTIFIED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE NISSAN HAD NOT GIVEN THEM THE NECESSARY PARTS TO FIX THE DEFECTS. SO WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT?

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FEW WEEKS AGO, I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER NUMBER NHTSA RECALL 16V-244. I CALLED NISSAN DEALER AT SW FREEWAY TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO PART TO FIX IT YET. I CALLED THE DEALER SECOND TIME ONE WEEK AFTER THE FIRST TIME. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME ANSWER. I RECEIVED THE SECOND RECALL TODAY 7/30/2016 WITH DIFFERENT PROBLEM. THE RECALL NUMBER NHTSA RECALL 16V-380. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER RIGHT AFTER I RECEIVED THE SECOND RECALL. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM REALLY CONCERN AND WORRY ABOUT THESE. THE SECOND RECALL IS REGARDING ABOUT "THE BRAKE STOP LAMP SWITCH MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED OUT OF SPECIFICATION". I THINK THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND RISKY FOR THE DRIVERS AND THE PASSENGERS. WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INJURY OR THE DEATH OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS (ESPECIALLY FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY MEMBERS)? PLEASE SOLVE THESE RECALL ASAP BEFORE THE ISSUE OCCUR. THANKS!

CONCERNING THE 2ND ROW DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE: THE INTERIOR HANDLE IS "STICKING" OPEN SUCH THAT THE DOOR DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE, AND AT ONE POINT OPENED ENTIRELY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE INTERIOR HANDLE MUST BE MANUALLY PRESSED DOWN AND THE DOOR TESTED FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE TO CONFIRM THAT IT IS IN FACT CLOSED.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY PATHFINDER IS PREOWNED BY A LEASING COMPANY BUT I HAVE NOTICED FOR THE LAST YEAR THAT THE ENGINE SHUDDERS DURING ACCELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY AND/OR INCREASING MORE OFTEN ON ROADS WHEN I'M GOING TO ACCELERATE. I LET UP ON ACCELERATION AND THEN CONTINUE TO GET IT TO A DIFFERENT SPEED THEN PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR AND TYPICALLY IT RESOLVES ITSELF BUT COULD BE VERY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH OTHERS AS WELL. MY INTERIOR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE ALSO BROKE (OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE REGARDING DRIVER SIDE). THE DOOR HANDLE SIMPLY QUIT WORKING AND APPEARS TO HAVE NO RESISTANCE. VERY UNSAFE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF POWER IS LOST FROM THE VEHICLE THE PASSENGER IS UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FAILED. UPON REGULAR USE (I.E., NO PULLING, TWISTING, EXCESSIVE FORCE) IT FAILED TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND MADE A CRUNCHING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE DRIVER DOOR IS TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN AND PULL THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. THE INTERIOR HANDLE MOVES BUT DOES NOT ENGAGE THE DOOR. THE DRIVER CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IF THE POWER IS OFF. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE (DOWN TO THE "CRUNCHING NOISE" DETAIL) ON VARIOUS PATHFINDER OWNER FORUMS ONLINE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND LOOSE DUE TO INTERNAL PART IS FROM PLASTIC. IT REALLY DISTURBS WHILE DRIVING AND CAN CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT. TEMPORARILY I PUT THIS ON THE SIDE SO WONT BLOCK MY VISION BUT THIS IS NOT GOOD SOLUTION ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE DRIVING FACING THE SUN. I'VE HEARD MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IN INTERNET AND NISSAN SHOULD DO RECALL FOR THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE CAUSING MANY ACCIDENTS.

WHEELS
WHILE TRAVELING ON RT 75 IN FLORIDA THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I THOUGHT I HIT SOMETHING BIG IN THE ROAD AS THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE & THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT WERE WOUNDED. I CHANGED THE TIRE MYSELF AS THE SERVICE PEOPLE WE CALLED WEREN'T ABLE TO LOCATE US WITH THE LIMITED INFORMATION WE HAD. I DISCOVERED A 3 INCH SQUARE PART OF THE SIDEWALL STILL ATTACHED TO THE TIRE. WE CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURES BEFORE WE STARTED OUT ON OUR TRIP FROM LAUREL, DELAWARE. THE CAR HAS SENSORS ON THE TIRES & GIVES A WARNING IF THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW (LEFTOVER) WITH ABOUT 8 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I UNDERSTAND THEY INFLATE THE TIRES WITH NITROGEN IF THAT HAS ANY BEARING ON WHAT HAPPENED. WE HAD THE TIRE FIXED AT A NISSAN DEALER IN FORT MYERS. I TOOK MANY PICTURES OF THE TIRE THAT BLEW-OUT BEFORE I HAD THEM REPLACE IT.

VISIBILITY
THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE CONSTANTLY HANGS DOWN AN OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW TO SEE. I HAD TO REMOVE THE SUN VISOR COMPLETELY TO BE ABLE TO SEE. SO NOW I AM DRIVING WITH THE SUN IN MY FACE BECAUSE NISSAN BUILT A FAULTY SUN VISOR. NOW I HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE HAD PASSENGERS WHO HAVE HIT THEIR HEAD ON THE SUN VISOR. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON OTHER SITES AND HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER PATHFINDER OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS AND HAVE NOT SEEN ANY ACTION TO FIX THIS. I HOPE YOU DO NOT VIEW THIS AS A MINOR ISSUE AND WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE FROM NISSANS FAULTY DESIGN. IF THAT DOES HAPPEN, I WILL BE THE FIRST TO TAKE THE COPIES I HAVE OF MY COMPLAINTS TO THE MEDIA. I HOPE THAT MY COMPLAINT IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND THAT YOU RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER VEHICLE THE ORANGE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME WHILE PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO CHERRY HILL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 4 TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON EVEN WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. (AND THEN WITH NO ONE SITTING IN THE SEAT - SOMETIMES THE LIGHT IS ON, SOMETIMES IT IS OFF) ALL THOSE TIMES I GOT AN EXPLANATION THAT IT IS JUST A SOFTWARE GLINCH AND THEY TRY SOME FIX THAT DOES NOT WORK. THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE BUT TO DATE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TIME THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON. I'M JUST WORRIED THAT IF THE VEHICLE WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE FRONT, THAT SOMEONE IS NOT PROTECTED FROM THE IMPACT.I HAVE CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHO TOLD ME NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN FRONT SEAT - THAT'S NOT A VERY GOOD SOLUTION AND FOR THE COST OF THE VEHICLE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO SIT IN MY FRONT SEAT ESPECIALLY WHEN DUE TO THE # OF PEOPLE I NEED TO USE THE FRONT SEAT.

I AM DRIVING MY 2013 PATHFINDER AND FROM TIME TO TIME, ON THE HIGHWAY OR LOCAL ROADS, EVEN AT TAKE OFF I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THE REVS DO NOT RISE, THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE. I CAN PUT THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND STILL NOTHING. IT HAPPENS ROUGHLY ONCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I LET GO THE ACCELERATOR AND PRESS IT AGAIN AND IT IS BACK TO NORMAL. THE TRUCK IS WARM EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, SO I CANT SAY IT IS BECAUSE I AM DRIVING THE ENGINE COLD.

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN MAY 2015. THE VEHICLE HAD 54K MILES. WITHIN 45 DAYS OF PURCHASE NOTICED THAT WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE. THIS WAS ALSO NOTICED WHEN BEGINNING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO LIBERTY GMC IN PEORIA, AZ WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS SENT TO NISSAN AND THEY DID SOME REPROGRAMMING. GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT CONTINUED THE SAME ISSUES. TOOK BACK A WEEK LATER AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE. WELL HERE WE ARE 1 YEAR LATER AND THE SAME ISSUES ARE HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS TIME WITH THE ADDED BONUS OF A CLUNK WHEN YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR. WILL BE TAKING IN AGAIN NEXT WEEK. SECOND ISSUE IS WITH MY WIFE ( WHO IS 8 MONTHS PREGNANT) SITTING IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE LIGHT SAYING AIRBAG IS OFF STAYS ON. NISSAN SEEMS TO NOT BE TAKING SOME OF THESE ISSUES VERY SERIOUSLY.
