POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN STARTING FROM STOP ( AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT) THE VEHICLE PERIODICALLY WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWO TIMES NOW WITH NO CHANGE. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS IN THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND THOUGHT THAT WOULD CORRECT IT, IT DID NOT. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS IN 2WD AND IT WAS WET OUT. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE VEHICLE IN AUTO AND THE GROUND BONE DRY. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND STARTED A CASE. I WAS TOLD TO GET A SECOND OPINION. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE BECAUSE WHEN PULLING INTO A LANE OF TRAFFIC YOU MAY NOT MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS ANS ON COMING TRAFFIC MAY NOT STOP.

STRUCTURE:BODY
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE ROADWAY (SPEED - 40 M.P.H.), THE HOOD OPENED AND OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE AND RE-SECURE THE HOOD. THE DAMAGE TO THE FENDERS WAS EXTENSIVE AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACEDD, AS WELL AS THE HOOD LATCH MECHANISM. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT COMPLETED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REED NISSAN (3776 W COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32808), WHO SAID THE LATCH MECHANISM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE PAST YEAR MODELS NISSAN CVT ISSUES. 2015 PATHFINDER WITH LESS THAN 10K MILES UNDER 2 YEARS OLD TRANSMISSION FAILURE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 KIDS (4 YEAR, 2 YEAR, AND 1 MONTH OLD) WHEN THE VEHICLE STOP ACCELERATING. SHE WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER SAFETY. WHEN SHE TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN IT WAS IN DRIVE MODE OR LOW GEAR. THE VEHICLE HOWEVER DID MOVE IN REVERSE. MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF A FAST MOVING HIGHWAY, WITHOUT ME, UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE WORK, AN HOUR AWAY, TO GET TO THEIR LOCATION AND SAFETY GET ALL THE KIDS AND MY WIFE TO A SAFER LOCATION. TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE ISSUES MAY STEM FROM THE SAME ISSUE IN PREVIOUS MODEL PATHFINDERS AND OTHER VEHICLE MODELS WITH NISSAN'S CVT IN THEM. LESS THAN 10K MILES ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. UNDER 2 YEARS IN AGE AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILS. MAKES ME RETHINK IF I WANT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE KNOWING MY FAMILY WILL MAINLY BE DRIVING IN IT WITHOUT ME THERE. *TR

VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW 3/2016, LESS THAN 15,000 MILES (HWY). 12/1/2016 WHILE DRIVING ON HWY, REAR PASSENGER TIRE SIDEWALL SHREDDED AND MACERATED. SINCE BUYING CAR, HAVE HAD FREQUENT "LOW PRESSURE" READINGS ON ALL TIRES RANDOMLY WITHOUT ANY DEFINITE CAUSE THAT MECHANICS NOTED (TIRES WERE NOT REMOVED). THE 1 TIRE WAS REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE. THE CAR DEALERSHIP (NISSAN) AND TIRE MANUFACTURER (CONTINENTAL) EACH DEFER RESPONSIBILITY TO OTHER. THERE ARE MULTIPLE SIMILAR STORIES EASILY FOUND ONLINE WITH THESE TIRES. WHILE THIS PARTICULAR ONE APPARENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL, PERHAPS IT SHOULD BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT LX SPORT *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TAKING OFF FROM 0-20MPH THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND JERK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. BACK IN MAY 2016 AND THEY COULD NOT FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR. NOW IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND WE TOOK IT BACK ON 11/18/16 AND THE SERVICE DEPT. SAID THEY STILL CAN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT CHECK ENGINE CODE POPPING UP, SO THEY NEEDED PERMISSION TO HAVE A SERVICE TECH TAKE IT HOME TO SEE IF HE CAN SEE WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING AND WILL FOLLOW UP WITH US TOMORROW. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM STARTED BACK IN EARLY 2015 WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN SO RARELY THAT I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT UNTIL MY WIFE WHO DRIVES IT EVERY DAY BROUGHT IT UP TO MY ATTENTION.

THIS PERTAINS TO 16V244000... WITH THE EXCEPTION OF STARTING THE VEHICLE, I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS LIGHT COME ON UNTIL RECENTLY. MY PATHFINDER IS LARGELY USED TO MOVE MY CHILDREN (BOTH UNDER THE AGE OF 4) TO AND FROM ACTIVITIES AND RUN ERRANDS. 90% OF THE TIME I AM DRIVING THERE IS NO ONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. MY WIFE RIDES UPFRONT FOR FAMILY ROAD TRIPS AND ON THE WEEKENDS. IT WAS JUST RECENTLY THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE SHE WAS IN THE SEAT ALERTING ME TO THE FAULTY SENSOR. I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DID HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL AND COULD FIX THE ISSUE THAT WEEK. I TOOK THE CAR AND WAITED PATIENTLY. UPON EXITING THE SERVICE CENTER AND GETTING READY TO TURN ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT WAS ON... FIGURING SOMEONE HAD FORGOTTEN TO RESET SOMETHING I TURNED AROUND AND RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE I WAS ADVISED THAT, FROM NOW ON, MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON UNLESS SOMEONE OVER 50LBS WAS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS SHOCKED AND COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE TECH BUT WAS INFORMED THAT NISSAN HAD DECIDED THAT CARS WITH THIS ISSUE WOULD HAVE A PERMANENTLY DISENGAGED PASSENGER AIRBAG IF THE SEAT WAS NOT OCCUPIED. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT, RATHER THAN FIXING THIS ISSUE CORRECTLY WITH THE SAME BUT FUNCTIONING OEM PARTS, NISSAN HAS DECIDED TO IMPLEMENT A RECALL FIX THAT SAVES THEM TIME AND MONEY. I TRIED GETTING ACCUSTOMED TO THIS WARNING LIGHT BUT IT IS THE SAME COLOR AS MY BLIND SPOT WARNING ALERTS SO SEEING IT MY PERIPHERAL VISION IS A CONSTANT DISTRACTION. I BELIEVE THAT THE FIX OFFERED WILL ULTIMATELY MAKE DRIVERS AMBIVALENT TO THE BLIND SPOT SYSTEM AND LEAD TO A HIGHER COLLISION RATE. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MAY REGARDING THE OCS THAT AFFECTS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JUNE AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE NOT IN YET FOR REPLACEMENT. I WENT AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER AND WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE ON MANUFACTURER RESTRICTION AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLACE/REPAIR. IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE ISSUE. AIRBAGS ARE A VERY BIG DEAL AND WANT TO KNOW HOW CAN I GET THIS FIXED ASAP. *TR

TAKATA RECALL YOU PREVIOUS WEBPAGE MENTIONS THE MANUFACTURER ACQUIRING THE PARTS TO REPAIR IN A TIMELY MANNER. MY QUESTION IS, WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER A TIMELY MANNER? I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS OR MORE AGO, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ELSE REGARDING NISSAN REPAIRING THE FAULTY AIRBAGS. I'M GETTING MORE AND MORE CONCERNED DAILY ABOUT MY FAMILY'S OR MY SAFETY. WHEN IS NISSAN GOING TO GET OFF THEIR BEHINDS AND REPAIR OR REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAGS?
