VISIBILITY/WIPER
I PURCHASED MY PATHFINDER USED, AND THIS ISSUE HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. SUN VISORS HANG TOO LOW AND BLOCK MY VIEW WHEN DRIVING. THE MECHANISM SOUNDS BROKEN DUE TO THE POPPING NOISE. PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR HANGS LOW TOO, AND BOTH DO NOT GO FULLY UP IN THE CLOSED POSITION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE NOTICED THIS FOR AWHILE, BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I AM NOW AT 6800 MILES, AND WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY LAST NIGHT, MY GAS GAUGE READ THAT I HAD 86 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS MORNING, TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, I ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD 56 MILES TO EMPTY. WHEN I GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT NOT EVEN A MILE AWAY WITH THE SCHOOL TO MY LEFT, MY LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, AND BY THE TIME I TURNED INTO THE PARKING LOT, 2 MINUTES LATER, MY ELECTRONIC GAUGE WAS BLINKING AT ME AND THE ACTUAL GAS GAUGE WAS AT 0. I THEN HAD TO WAIT IN THE DROP OFF LINE HOPING I WOULDN'T RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE I WAS DROPPING THEM OFF. (I WOULD OF TOTALLY RUINED THEIR LIVES HAHA!) I WAS SO NERVOUS DRIVING, TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE GAS STATION. I MADE IT. FILLED ALL THE WAY UP AND IT ONLY ALLOWED ME TO FILL UP 15 GALLONS. NOT MY NORMAL 16. SO APPARENTLY IT JUST WANTED TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK EARLY THIS MORNING. HOW AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT? GUESS? JUST KEEP IT TOPPED OFF EVERY [XXX] DAY? DUMB.

MY PATHFINDER HAS A KNOWN DEFECT. NISSAN HAS RELEASED TECHNICAL BULLETIN CLASSIFICATION RA09-004C WITH REFERENCE NUMBER NTB10-029C FROM NOVEMBER 16, 2015. THERE IS A VIBRATION OR JUDDER FEELING FROM THE REAR DRIVE TRAIN. THE ACTION REQUIRED IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED BY THE NHTSA. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY YOUNG CHILDREN. THERE IS A VIBRATION OR JUDDER FEELING FROM THE REAR WHEN MAKING TURNS, ON DRY ROADS, AT LOW SPEEDS (UNDER 40 MPH). THE REPAIR IS EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN 3800 TO 5000 DOLLARS. THE NISSAN DEALER SAID THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVE SHAFT, THE CVT TRANS AXEL, AND REMOVAL OF THE VALVE ASSEMBLY.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY FAILS TO ACCELERATE FOLLOWING THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES FOR A PERIOD OF 10-30 SECONDS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE "BRAKE SWITCH" THAT IS COMMON IN THE PATHFINDER. THE DEFECT CAUSES AN UNSAFE AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONDITION WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE OWNED MY PATHFINDER FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BOTH VISORS WERE SAGGING AND DIDN'T FULLY RETRACT INTO PLACE. OVER THE LAST MONTH THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR IS NOW TO THE POINT WHERE IT HANGS HALFWAY DOWN ALL OF THE TIME. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE WHAT I CONSIDER AN EPIDEMIC. NOT ONLY ARE THE VISORS MANUFACTURED HORRIBLY BUT NOW CAUSE A HAZARD WHEN I AM DRIVING BECAUSE I CONTINUOUSLY HIT MY HEAD ON THE VISOR. NISSAN NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER RECALLING ALL VISORS THAT ARE DESIGNED AS SUCH. I JUST SPENT ALMOST $200 TO FIX ONE VISOR FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. NOT HAPPY! I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE TO SEND IN TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY FIXED THE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS A HAZARD TO DRIVE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WE BOUGHT THE 2014 PATHFINDER USED IN MARCH 2017 WITH APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES ON IT. BOTH VISORS CLICKED WHEN PUTTING THEM BACK UP AND WOULD NOT STAY IN THE FULL UP POSITION. IN MARCH 2018, THE DRIVER'S VISOR FELL AND WILL NOT STAY IN EITHER THE FULL UP OR FULL DOWN POSITION, THUS OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VISION. THE BROKEN PLASTIC IS VISIBLE INSIDE THE FABRIC OF THE VISOR. I HAD TO PIN IT TO THE ROOF TO ENSURE SAFE DRIVING. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO MISUSE, BUT NOW I SEE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT. I DON'T SEE THAT NISSAN HAS PROVIDED FREE REPAIRS, HOWEVER. SINCE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THE VISORS REPLACED FREE TO CUSTOMERS.

THE BATTERY WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED IN PLACE AND THIS SEEMED TO IMPACT THE MILEAGE STARTING OVER AND DID NOT KEEP ACCURATE AMOUNT OF GAS IN VEHICLE. MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT; FELT AS IF SOMETHING WAS BEING DRAGGED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE TIRES TWICE SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE EVEN WITH GETTING ROTATIONS EVERY OTHER OIL CHANGE.

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN PATHFINDER AND NISSAN ROGUE NEW IN 2014. ALMOST ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE AT BANISTER NISSAN OF CHESAPEAKE, 930 N BATTLEFIELD BLVD, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320 DEALERSHIP. AT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES THE PATHFINDER BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY DURING ACCELERATION BETWEEN 15MPH AND 30MPH. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND HESITATES ON BOTH VEHICLES. DETAILS OF THIS PROBLEM HAVE BEEN SHARED REPEATEDLY WITH DEALERSHIP ADVISORS AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. AT FIRST TECHNICIANS CLAIMED NOT HAVE NOTICED ANY TREMBLING / ISSUES DURING TEST DRIVES WITH THE PATHFINDER. THEN EACH TIME I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE SHUDDER, THE DEALER WOULD BLAME IT ON OTHER ISSUES. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES, BRAKES, AND ROTORS SEVERAL TIMES AT THE ADVICE OF THE DEALER. NONE OF THAT FIXED THE SHUDDER. NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED ON BOTH VEHICLES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. BANISTER NISSAN OF CHESAPEAKE DID NOT INFORMED ME UNTIL AFTER THE PATHFINDER WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THAT TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I REQUESTED ASSISTANCE FROM THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER AS ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP SINCE I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEMS FOR SO LONG. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. NISSAN AGREED TO PAY FOR REPAIR COSTS FOR THE VEHICLE. BANISTER NISSAN OF CHESAPEAKE NOW TELLS ME THEY WILL NEED TO DO ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT REFUSE TO COVER ANY COST ASSOCIATED. THE ADVISORS STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC COULD COAST ANYWHERE FROM $200 - $800. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE EXPERIENCING MOST OF THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE 2014 NISSAN ROGUE PURCHASED NEW AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP.

NISSAN ISSUED A "CAMPAIGN" DUE TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT WHERE THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS MALFUNCTIONED WHICH CAUSE SHUDDERING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE WHILE DRIVING AT 20MPH. AFTER BRINGING THE ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON 2/28/17 THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY IMMOBILIZED ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING A TRAGIC ACCIDENT INVOLVING BOTH MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. NISSAN FAILED TO SEND CORRESPONDENCE ADVISING OF THE CTV UPDATE WHICH CAUSED THE ISSUE TO GO UNRESOLVED AND ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE FAIL OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RECTIFIED WITH MODELS CONTAINING THE CTV TRANSMISSION. NISSAN HAS JUST ADVISED THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WOULD COST ME A TOTAL $4,800.00 FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE OF SENDING THE PROPER CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING THE CAMPAIGN. THEY SHOULD BUY BACK THIS CAR AND ALL OTHERS LIKE IT AS THIS CAN CAUSE TRAGIC ACCIDENTS.

ON FEBRUARY 27, 2018 I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ALONG A HIGHWAY. SUDDENLY I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT GOING OFF AND THEN GLASS FELL INTO MY CAR, SOME ON ME FROM THE SUNROOF. THE ENTIRE SUNROOF EXPLODED. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES BECAUSE THE SMALL AMOUNT OF GLASS AROUND THE OUTSIDE EDGES WAS PUSHED OUTWARDS LIKE AN EXPLOSION FROM PRESSURE OF SOME SORT. AFTER CALLING MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT A NISSAN PROBLEM AND NOT COVERED BECAUSE MY WARRANTY MILEAGE AND TIME HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS A NISSAN PROBLEM BECAUSE GLASS SHOULD NOT EXPLODE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THANK GOODNESS I DID NOT LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SHOCK OF THE SITUATION.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF, AND WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STILL STAY ON EVEN WHEN THE BRAKES AREN'T BEING PRESSED. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE WHEN YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL. THIS OCCURS AFTER YOU HIT THE BRAKES, AND WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE WON'T GO OVER 20 MPH.
