WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 1PM WHEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED. IT EXPLODED BEFORE ON 11/29/18. THE WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND CLEAR WITH A TEMP OF ABOUT 45 DEGREES. THE SUN SHIELD WAS OPEN BUT THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED. WE HADN'T PASSED AN OVERPASS AND WHEN THE WE CLEANED UP THE GLASS WE DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAVE IMPACTED THE GLASS OF THE SUNROOF. WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2018.

TAKATA RECALL- BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND AFTER MAKING A CLICKING SOUND FOR SOME TIME WHEN BEING PULLED DOWN TO USE IN SUNNY CONDITIONS, THE VISORS FINALLY BREAK AND HANG DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD AND THE VISORS CAN NOT BE PUT BACK UP IN PLACE. WHEN DOING A WEB SEARCH, I SEE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD TO NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONING SUN VISOR BUT ALSO TO HAVE IT BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE WINDSHIELD AND ROAD

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE ACCELERATOR WOULD SUDDENLY NOT RESPOND BECOMING A LIFE HAZARD TO MY FAMILY AND MYSELF AND ALSO OTHER DRIVERS BEHIND MY VEHICLE; THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO STOP OPERATING WHEN THIS OCCURS. ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED AND WITH THE CAR BEING OFF.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT WENT THROUGH THE SUNROOF. GLASS FELL DOWN ONTO MY WIFE AND 2 KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. THERE WERE NO ROCKS IN FRONT OF ME FOR DEBRIS TO COME BACK. THE WHOLE THING SHATTERED. IT DIDN'T HAVE A CRACK OR SPIDER. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES LIKE THIS ON THE INTERNET AND CONSUMER REPORTS RECENTLY WROTE AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS. NISSAN WAS IN THE TOP 3 HAVING THIS ISSUE. I WENT TO MY DEALER AND HE THOUGHT WE WERE CRAZY AND ASSUMED WE CAUSED THIS DAMAGE AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN THEIR WERE RELATED ARTICLES ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS MY EXPERIENCE. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND COULD'VE BEEN DANGEROUS IF THERE WERE OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND US BECAUSE, WE HAD TO SLAM ON OUR BRAKES. I ALSO PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT.

I HAVE TAKEN MY PATHFINDER TO THE SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FIXED. IT SHUTTERS AT SLOW SPEEDS. MY HUSBAND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN'S DO THAT AND NOTHING IS WRONG. WE HAD THE CVT SENSOR REPLACED AND IT STOPPED FOR A WHILE. WELL NOW IT SHUTTERS AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE TURNING A CORNER, IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC, HIGH SPEEDS GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT IT WILL ACT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT ENGAGING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL ENGAGE AND MAKE THE CAR LEAP FORWARD AND IT WILL SHAKE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM VIC BAILEY FORD IN AUGUST 2015, WAS TOLD THAT IT STILL HAD THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY LEFT ON IT AND BENSON NISSAN IN SPARTANBURG WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T PURCHASE THE VEHICLE FROM THEM. THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON 110 SOUTH FREEWAY AND ENTER FASTTRACK LANE NEAR EXPOSITION BLVD EXIT, I HEARD A VERY LOUD EXPLOSION AND THOUGHT THAT I WAS RUNNING INTO A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER ONCOMING VEHICLE. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND LOOKED AROUND THERE WERE NO VEHICLE NEAR ME AND THE WEATHER WAS SO CLEAR. THEN I NOTICED THAT MY SUNROOF GLASS WAS BLOWN OFF AND SHATTERED. LUCKY ENOUGH I HAD MY SUNROOF SHADE CLOSED SO THE SHATTERED GLASS DIDN'T FLIGHT IN THE CAR. THERE WERE ANOTHER 04 PASSENGERS IN MY CAR AS WELL BUT NO ONE GOT HURT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
AFTER OWNING MY 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER PLATINUM FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS AND 37000 MILES (CONVENIENTLY JUST OUT OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY PERIOD), THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BECAME INOPERABLE AND, WHAT I CONSIDERED TO BE, A SAFETY HAZZARD. THE INSIDE PORTION OF THE VISOR ITSELF WAS OBVIOUSLY POORLY ENGINEERED AND LOOSENED/CRACKED INSIDE THE VISOR WHICH HOLDS IT SECURE TO THE VISOR ARM. THE VISOR WOULD NOT REMAIN IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION, OUT OF THE FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS CAUGHT IN A STATE OF LIMBO IN BETWEEN BEING ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND BEING ALL THE WAY UP. AS A TEMPORARY FIX, I HAD IT SECURED WITH VELCRO, BUT THIS WOULD COME LOOSE SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AND OBSTRUCT MY VISION. WITHIN A MONTH OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR BREAKING, THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR BROKE AS WELL, IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT. I SECURED BOTH VISORS IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION WITH BUNGEE CORDS AS THE VELCRO WASN'T SECURE. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF, ALMOST $400 TOTAL. I CONTACTED NISSAN'S CORPORATE OFFICE TO SEE IF THEY COULD RESOLVE THIS FOR ME SINCE IT HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG PATHFINDER OWNERS, BUT I WAS GIVEN THE SAME ANSWER. MY CONCERN, THAT NISSAN DOESN'T SHARE, IS HAVING A VEHICLE WITH NO OPERABLE SUN VISORS. WHAT IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR BECAUSE I WAS BLINDED BY THE SUN? NISSAN, HOWEVER, DOES NOT THINK THIS IS A LEGITIMATE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS REGARDING THIS KNOWN QUALITY DEFECT. I GUESS THEY HAVE CALCULATED THAT A WRONGFUL DEATH SETTLEMENT OR TWO IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN DOING THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACING A COUPLE THOUSAND (OR POSSIBLY A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND) VISORS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THE 2014 PATHFINDER MARCH 2018 WITH 27K MILES. OCT. 2018 DURING STARTING OF THE VEHICLE I NOTICED EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAIL PIPE. MY MECHANIC CHECKED THE TRUCK AND INFORMED ME OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE INTO THE CYLINDERS. I CONTACTED NISSAN CORP AND WAS INFORMED TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. THE DEALER FOUND THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD, WHEEL BARREN. THEY RETURNED THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME AFTER A WEEK. THE NEXT DAY, THE TRUCK WAS SMOKING AGAIN EVERYTIME I WOULD START THE IGNITION. TRIED TO TRADE THE TRUCK FOR ANOTHER MAKE. I CAN'T TOO MUCH EQUITY. I ONLY HAD THE TRUCK FOR 8 MONTHS. DEC. 5TH 2018, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT IS ON. EXCESSIVE SMOKE STILL COMES FROM THE TAIL PIPE WHEN THE TRUCK IS STARTED. RETURNED TRUCK BACK TO NISSAN DEALER FOR REPAIR.
