STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS FALLEN 2-3 INCHES AND PASSENGER SIDE HAS FALLEN 4-5 INCHES. THIS IS A COMPLETE SAFETY HAZZARD FOR VISIBILITY AND ONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED SHOULD THEY HAVE AN ACCIDENT AS AN AIRBAG CAN NOT PROTECT THEM FROM FAULTY INTERIOR PARTS OF THIS VEHICLE. WE NOTICED A SLIGHT ISSUE JUST AFTER PURCHASE IN 2017 AND THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE.

POWER TRAIN
ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR SHOP TO RUN A COMPUTER CHECK. IT CAME BACK WITH THE CVT P17F1 TRANSMISSION CODE. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, THE LIGHT CAME ON YESTERDAY, TAKEN IN TODAY TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. MY REPAIR PLACE SAID THEY SAW WHERE NISSAN HAD A RECALL ON MY TYPE OR PATHFINDER YEARS 2013-2015 BUT WHEN I LOOKED UP MY TRUCK WITH THE VIN, IT SAYS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I'M TRYING TO SEE WHY MY VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION?

VISIBILITY/WIPER
SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP IN THE RETRACTED POSITION, OBSTRUCTING WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY. PLASTIC PARTS FOR RETAINING SUN VISORS ARE BROKEN. THIS IS WITH VERY LIGHT USE. BOTH SUN VISORS STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AROUND THE SAME TIME, WHICH POINTS TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT RATHER THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

THE THE ARMS THAT OPEN THE REAR LIFTGATE ON MY PATHFINDER RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. ONE DAY WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR IT SLAMMED SHUT SUDDENLY AND WOULDN'T OPEN ANYMORE WITHOUT SOMEONE MANUALLY LIFTING IT AND HOLDING IT OPEN. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED AND WE WERE TOLD THE PATHFINDERS REAR LIFTGATE HAS BEEN CHANGED COMPLETELY AND IN ORDER TO FIX OURS WE NEED TO REPLACE BOTH SHOCKS AS WELL AS THE OPERATING SYSTEM...... WHICH COMES IN AT 1400 DOLLARS BEFORE LABOR....... OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE THERE IS THEY HAVE COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW THE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES! ALSO, THEY ISSUED A RECALL ON THE NISSAN ROGUE AROUND THE SAME TIME THAT WE GOT OUR PATHFINDER FOR THAT SAME ISSUE WITH THE TAILGATE..... I'M SURE THE SHOCKS FROM THOSE ROGUES THAT WERE RECALLED MUST BE INCREDIBLY SIMILAR TO THE ONES IN THE NISSAN PATHFINDER.......

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE SUN VISORS HAVE A DEFECT KNOWN BY NISSAN, BUT THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO CORRECT IT YET. OURS STARTED BY MAKING A LOUD "CLICKING" NOISE, BEFORE LOSING THE CAPABILITY TO STAY EITHER UP OR DOWN. THEY HANG DOWN. WE HAVE SLAMMED OUR FOREHEADS INTO THE ROCK HARD VISOR EDGES WHEN SIMPLY GETTING INTO THE CAR OR IF THERE IS A QUICK STOP. WE HAVE HAD MEN, WOMEN AND TEENS BUMP HEADS INTO THE VISOR SIMPLY LEANING FORWARD TO CHANGE THE RADIO STATION. IF WE WERE TO BE REAR-ENDED OR IN AN ACCIDENT, IT WOULD COULD EASILY GASH OPEN OUR FOREHEADS OR GIVE A CONCUSSION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NISSAN WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT. THE SAGGING VISORS DIMINISH VISION AND ARE GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE AWARE OF IT, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT OFFER ANYTHING OTHER THAN REMOVING THE VISOR OR HAVING THE CONSUMER PAY $160 FOR EACH VISOR TO CORRECT.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN MARCH OF 2013. WITHIN 6 MONTHS I NOTICED THERE WAS JERKING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT BACK TO PRESTON NISSAN IN MARYLAND AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD RECEIVED A BULLETIN AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND IT HELPED A LITTLE BUT A FEW MONTHS LATER IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT BACK TO PRESTON NISSAN. THERE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WOULD REPROGRAM IT AGAIN. IT DID NOT HELP. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING IT BACK, BECAUSE THEY CHARGE ME EVERY TIME TO KEEP TELLING ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. MY CAR BEGAN TO NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN OR WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC. WE TOOK IT BACK TO PRESTON AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAD PUT A DEVICE IN TO MONITOR THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS REPROGRAMMED IT AGAIN. MY CAR CONTINUED TO JUDDER AND SHAKE AND FAIL TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AND NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES TO 84,000 MILES. MY CAR IS NOW AT 87,000 AND A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MICHIGAN IS NOW STATING THAT IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND A COOLING FAN. NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE IS NOW TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL PAY 90% OF THE FAN AND ONLY 50% OF THE TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN ONE THING AFTER THE OTHER. DOOR LOCK MOTOR, VISOR, HOOD RELEASE, TRUNK LATCH, BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHEN CAR IS OFF, AIRBAG INDICATOR...THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, VISIBILITY/WIPER
PROBLEM #1: SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THE UNIT LOSES ACCELERATION WHILE IN MOTION (DRIVING) OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STATIONARY AT A LIGHT. I PRESS THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE WITH NO RESPONSE, CERO ACCELERATION. IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET ACCELERATION BACK I HAVE TO PARK AND PUT IN ON PARKING AND TRY THE PEDAL AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO NISSAN WHERE THE DIAGNOSE CAN'T BE DETERMINE BECAUSE THE LACK OF WARNING SIGNS ON THE CONTROL PANEL. THE UNIT DID NOT SHOW THE CONDITION AT THAT MOMENT AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE IT. AFTER TAKING THE UNIT OUT OF THE MECHANICAL WORKSHOP, A WARNING SIG WAS REVEALED AS FOLLOWS: P0603: INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY (KAM) ERROR. I CALLED THE WORKSHOP AND THEY TOLD ME NO RECALLS WERE CLAIMED FOR THAT REASON (ERROR CODE). PROBLEM #2: THE WARRANTY WAS OVER (36MONTHS) AND BOTH VISORS WENT PERMANENTLY DOWN. THEY WERE REPLACED AT MY OWN COST. PROBLEM #3: THE BRAKES LIGHTS ARE KEEPING ON EVEN WHEN THE UNIT IS OFF. THIS IS MAKING THE BATTERY RUNS OUT!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION UPON TAKE OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED VARIOUS TIMES BUT BASICALLY IF IM AT A LIGHT OR A COMPLETE STOP AND PRESS THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR JERKS TO ACCELERATE THEN LOSES ACCELERATION COMPLETELY. IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET ACCELERATION BACK I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKES. IT ALSO HAPPENS AROUND 40MPH THE ACCELERATOR WONT WORK ANYMORE AND I JAVW TO BRAKE. IVE TAKEN MY CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY CAN NEVER DUPLICATE. ONE TIME I TOOK IT & THEY FOUND ANOTHER PROBLEM SO THEY REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION EVEN THEN ITS STILL HAPPENING.
