AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
COUPLE OF THINGS, FIRST THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG IS SET TO OFF WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT SITTING THERE, AND I HAVE A BLINKING AIRBAG LIGHT, AT ALL TIMES NO MATTER WHAT. SECOND, THERE IS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN I TURN MY HEATER ON. I CAN ALSO FEEL THE VIBRATION WHEN I'M STILL. THE SUV ONLY HAS ABOUT 44K MILES. I SEE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I'M DEFINITELY DISAPPOINTED.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP. IT BEGAN WITH NOT GOING ALL THE WAY UP, BUT EVENTUALLY HUNG STRAIGHT DOWN AND COULD NOT PUT IT IN ANY OTHER POSITION. IT HANGS IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE AND CANNOT SEE TO DRIVE. WE ATTEMPTED VELCRO TO ATTACH IT TO THE ROOF, BUT IT WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN GIVE WAY DROPPING ON MY HEAD (I AM SHORT AND CLOSE TO THE WINDSHIELD) OR IN FRONT OF MY HUSBAND'S FACE WHERE HE COULD NOT SEE. IT DROPS DOWN WITH NO WARNING (PRESSING ON BRAKES, TURNING, ETC). NISSAN REPORTED THIS HAS HAPPENED IN OTHER NISSAN PATHFINDERS, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. OUR PASSENGER SIDE IS BEGINNING TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING.

IN OCTOBER 2019, OUR CAR STARTED MAKING A RATTLING SOUND IN THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE. MY HUSBAND DISCOVERED THAT IT STOPPED WHEN THE AIR SYSTEM (HEATING OR COOLING) WAS TURNED OFF. WE TOOK IT IN TO A MECHANIC AND HE STATED IT SOUNDED LIKE THE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY. WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR (2 YEARS AGO- USED), THE FIRST WEEK WE HAD IT THE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY WENT BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM REPLACED IT WITHOUT CHARGING US. WE WERE SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THE SAME SYSTEM IS FAILING AFTER ONLY 44,000 MILES. IT FAILED AT 33,000 MILES THE FIRST TIME. IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR FAR DISTANCES WITH THE AIR SYSTEM ON AS THEY ARE UNSURE WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE ASSEMBLY OR ITS EFFECT ON THE ENGINE IF IT GETS WORSE. THEY RECOMMEND REPLACING IT AGAIN. WE WERE SURPRISED THIS PIECE SHOULD FAIL TWICE IN THE 77,000 MILES ON THE CAR. NOT CONFIDENT THAT REPLACING IT IS THE ANSWER AS ONE WOULD EXPECT IT TO FAIL AGAIN SINCE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE PART.

JUST NOW PASSED 85K MILES ON MY PATHFINDER. HORRENDOUSLY LOUD AND EMBARRASSING CLATTERING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT OF CAR. NISSAN DIAGNOSED THAT NEEDED TO HAVE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY REPLACED AT A RIDICULOUSLY HIGH PRICE OF $900! I DON'T HAVE $900. SO, IT'S 96 DEGREES OUT AND MY THREE GIRLS AND I ARE TRYING NOT TO HAVE HEAT STROKES IN OUR ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. WHERE'S THE RECALL NISSAN? I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER REVIEWS WITH SAME ISSUE.

MY 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS PURCHASED IN NOV. 2018. IT'S BEEN IN THE NISSAN SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE NOV. WE HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION STUDDERING/DELAYED ACCELERATION. IT CANT BE REPRODUCED ON DEMAND SO IT'S HARD TO DIAGNOSE. YOU HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS BEFORE IT WILL GO PROPERLY. ALSO, THE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE WITHIN 1 MONTH WITH NEW PARTS . THIS 3RD TIME ONE OF THE FANS WILL NOT CONTINUE TO BLOW. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THESE 2 ISSUES ARE VERY COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE. DISAPPOINTED DOESN'T EVEN DESCRIBE WHAT I FEEL ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND HAVING A DEALERSHIP LIKE GRAY DANIELS FORD IN MS TREAT US THE WAY THEY HAVE DOES NOT HELP WITH THE ISSUES.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AT APPROX. 52K MILES ON 2/23/2019. IN APRIL 2019, THE TRANSMISSION BEGIN HAVING ISSUES. RPMS WOULD RIDE HIGH; HOWEVER, TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT UP-SHIFT. OCCURRED DESPITE ACCELERATOR PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. WHEN RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR AND PRESSING AGAIN, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD JERK AND BEGIN TO UP-SHIFT. ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. CAN OCCUR WHEN TAKING OFF AFTER STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION, AND SUDDENLY WHEN SMOOTHLY ACCELERATING UPON ENTERING FREEWAYS. HAVING SAFETY CONCERNS, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AS NOTED ABOVE ON 5/8/2019. DESPITE TELLING JOSH KERN THE ISSUE WAS THE TRANSMISSION, I LATER DISCOVERED HE RECORDED THE ISSUE AS "... THE THROTTLE WASN'T RESPONSIVE." HE CALLED SAYING THE CAR WAS DRIVEN 60 MILES AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED BY PERFORMING A "IDLE RELEARN" AND "SELF LEARN" SOFTWARE UPDATE. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE VEHICLE NOW IDLED VERY HIGH. AFTER DRIVING IT A FEW DAYS, THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN. REVIEWING THE SERVICE DOC, I REALIZED THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY DRIVEN 1 MILE AND NOT THE 60 MILES. IT ALSO HAD NOTES FROM THE TECHNICIAN THAT "ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED." I RETURNED TO NISSAN TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, BUT HE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. WHILE THERE, I REQUESTED ALL HARD-COPIES OF WORK PERFORMED. ON ONE PAGE WAS WRITTEN NOTES ABOUT ERASING CODES, MENTION OF THE TRANS., ENGINE & IACV-AAC, ECM ON FADED PRINT-OUT OF CODES. MADE OTHER ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT MANAGER WITH NO SUCCESS. IN AUG.2019, THE DEALERSHIP GM PUT ME IN CONTACT W STEVE ZANI (ASST. SERV. MGR.) HE WAS VERY HELPFUL, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE ISSUE. HIGH IDLE FROM UPDATE SEEMS TO BE MASKING ISSUE FREQUENCY. CALLED NISS CON AFFAIRS-CASE36982668. RENEE' WAS NO HELP. REFUSED TO UPDATE CASE OR CALL DEALERSHIP. HAD MY NAME WRONG, ELUSIVE AND SHORT ON PHONE. WORRIED ISSUE NOT GIVEN PROPER CREDENCE; DESPITE DEFECT AND SAFETY CONCERNS.

WHEN ACCELERATING AND MAINTAINS NORMAL COMMUTER SPEEDS 34-70MPH THE TRANSMISSION IS LOUD AND IN INSTANCES JERKS AS IF IT IS NOT CATCHING THE NEXT GEAR. MY CAR IS 4YRS OLD WITH 77K MILES AND THERE SHOULDN'T BE A NEED FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION, WHICH LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SAYS I NEED. REVIEW HAVE SHOWN THIS IN THE PAST SO I WANT TO MAKE AWARE THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED.

MY VEHICLE IS FINANCED THROUGH NISSAN AND I STILL HAVE 10 MONTHS OF THE NOTE LEFT. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN PROVIDED A DIAGNOSIS THAT MY COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY MOTOR AND BEARINGS HAVE FAILED AND WILL NEED REPLACEMENT. MANY NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS ARE POSTING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS. I HAVE ONLY APPROXIMATELY 68,000 MILES ON THE CAR. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, THERE MAYBE AN UNDERLYING PROBLEM WITH THE PART. I AM PROVIDED A $1000 ESTIMATE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS COMPLAINT SERIOUSLY AND PROTECT THE VEHICLE OWNERS.

THE COOLING FAN STARTED MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE AT AROUND 48,000 MILES. THE NOISE WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE FAN KICKED ON. THE FAN WAS STARTING TO SEPARATE FROM THE BEARING. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT. I TOLD THEM MANY OTHER NISSANS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD PUT MY COMPLAINT ON FILE. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW FAN OUT OF POCKET.
