ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HELLO, LAST NIGHT I HAD TO HELP MY SISTER WITH HER NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 BECAUSE WHEN SHE SHIFTS HER CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE THE ALTIMA STALLS AND WILL NOT DRIVE. WHEN I POPPED THE HOOD I NOTICED THAT HER BATTERY WAS IN VERY BAD SHAPE. IT WAS HEAVILY CORRODED. I CLEANED IT AND TRIED, BUT THE SAME SYMPTOMS HAPPENED. THE ALTIMA WOULD STALL. WE ENDED UP REPLACING THE BATTERY. THAT WAS HER THIRD BATTERY TO BE REPLACED. WHY IS THAT? HER ALTIMA IS ONLY 75K MILES. THIS MORNING I DECIDED TO CHECK OUR 2015 PATHFINDER TO FIND THE SAME SYMPTOMS. MY BATTERY WAS CORRODING. I DECIDED TO CLEAN THE BATTERY AND ADD A BATTERY GREASE TO MITIGATE CORROSION IN THE FUTURE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET BLOG REGARDING THIS ISSUES AND ITS EVIDENT THAT NISSAN HAS ISSUES WITH THEIR CAR BATTERIES CORRODING. CAN NISSAN EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS CORRODING BATTERIES? WHAT CAN NISSAN DO TO TAKE CARE OF NISSAN OWNERS? PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU,

2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED FROM A STOPPED POSITION. 3 DIFFERENT TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY WIFE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME AS WE WERE TRYING TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION.AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND WE TRIED TO GO IT ONLY IDLED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION WE GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP IT'S BEEN THERE A WEEK SO FAR. VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN AUG 2015. I PURCHASED IT USED BUT CERTIFIED! PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEMS THEY HAD WITH THE 2013-2014 MODELS ARE CONTINUING. I HAVE HEARD IT MIGHT BE THE TRANSMISSION? ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED ACCORDING TO CARFAX, INCLUDING AT 9,774 AN ENGINE POWER TRAIN COMPUTER MODULE REPROGRAMMED. CERTIFICATION WAS DONE BY NISSAN ON 8/21/2018 AND PURCHASED BY US.ON 9/2/2017. ANY HELP TO KEEP ME AND MY WIFE SAFE WILL BE APPRECIATED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN-VISOR DOESN'T STAY UP. IT HANGS DIRECTLY DOWN, CAUSING IT TO BE RIGHT IN MY LINE OF SIGHT. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO VELCRO OR TAPE IT UP BUT NOTHING WORKS FOR VERY LONG AND THE VISOR WILL FALL DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

LOSS OF ACCELERATION AFTER STOPPING. PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR & NO RESPONSE, NO RPM CHANGE. PUMPED GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES, FINALLY THE VEHICLE RESPONDED AFTER ALMOST BEING HIT. MY VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES & ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE AFTER BREAKING. I DO NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BREAK BUT IT DOES SEEM TO RESPOND AFTER I SWITCH FROM BREAK TO GAS SEVERAL TIMES AS IF IT IS A FAULTY SWITCH.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STUTTERS/JUDDERS FOR A FEW SECONDS. IT HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE, EVEN STARTING TO SHOW UP AT MEDIUM SPEEDS, TO THE POINT WHERE WE THINK THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL. IF YOU PUSH ON THE GAS IT EVENTUALLY GOES THROUGHT THE STUTTERING. SINCE NO CODES ARE INDICATING THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT THE ISSUE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (OR EQUIVALENT WITH WIND), THE HOOD SHAKES LIKE IT IS BEING LIFTED BY THE WIND. IT SEEMS TO SHAKE/VIBRATE BETWEEN THE LATCH AND THE BUMPERS. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND THEY ARE INFORMED ME THIS IS "NORMAL" AND THEY HAVE ADJUSTED THE LATCH AND BUMPERS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE SHAKING AND I AM WORRIED THAT OVER TIME THE LATCH WILL BREAK AND THE HOOD WILL OPEN. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THIS IS LIKELY VERY DANGEROUS.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SEATS
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE ANOTHER CAR CLIPPED THE BACK BUMPER OF MY PATHFINDER GOING TROUGH AN INTERSECTION. IT WAS ENOUGH TO DEPLOY MY CURTAIN AIRBAGS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE SEAT AIR BAG IN THE DRIVERS SEAT, BUT DID MINOR DAMAGE TO THE BACK BUMPER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. BUT, AFTER EVERYONE WAS OUT OF MY PATHFINDER, A POLICE OFFICER NOTICED A FIRE INSIDE THE PATHFINDER. IT WAS LOCATED ON THE PANEL BETWEEN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND THE BACK DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES (I DIDN'T THINK TO TAKE ANY) AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS HANDLING THE POLICE REPORT AND ALL THE DETAILS, BUT THE OFFICER ASKED ME TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO YOU SO I AM.
