UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH BROKE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE VEHICLE DOOR FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE VEHICLE WAS TO LOWER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND REACH OUTSIDE TO THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. THIS LENGTHENED THE TIME AND EFFORT SIGNIFICANTLY IN EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE HANDLE MECHANISM BROKE INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL AND OCCURRED DURING REGULAR EXIT OF THE VEHICLE MAKING IT UNUSABLE UNTIL REPLACED BY NISSAN AT MY COST. NISSAN DID COVER THE PART AS A WARRANTY REPAIR.

SUN VISOR (DRIVERS SIDE) FELL DOWN AFTER BEING PUSHED BACK INTO THE UP POSITION, BLOCKING MY VISION, DISTRACTING ME, AND REQUIRING ME TO HOLD IT UP WHILE DRIVING UNTIL I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER AND MAKE A TEMPORARY REPAIR.

SUN VISOR CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES. SUN VISOR HAS CRACKED ON INSIDE AND NOW IT DOES NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. INNER PARTS ARE PLASTIC AND HEAT HAS CAUSED IT TO CRACK AND WARP WHICH NOW IT WILL HANG INTO MY FIELD OF VISION AND PREVENT ME FROM SEEING THE ROAD AHEAD. IT DOES THIS CONSTANTLY. I SEE ON THE INTERNET SEVERAL COMPLAINT FOR THIS MODEL OF CAR WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
THE HOOD ON MY VEHICLE FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH DOWN THE ROAD. NISSAN FIXED THE ISSUE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT UNDER 130 LBS. I GOT A RECALL NOTIFICATION. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN TO HAVE THEM FIX THIS 3 TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART. MY HUSBAND WEIGHS 128 LBS AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DETECT HIM SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF I WERE TO GET IN A WRECK THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH MY HUSBAND SITTING IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE TOLD NISSAN THIS NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT GET THE PART IN. I THINK THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FAILED. UPON REGULAR USE (I.E., NO PULLING, TWISTING, EXCESSIVE FORCE) IT FAILED TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND MADE A CRUNCHING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE DRIVER DOOR IS TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN AND PULL THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. THE INTERIOR HANDLE MOVES, BUT DOES NOT ENGAGE THE DOOR. THE DRIVER CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IF THE POWER IS OFF. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE (DOWN TO THE "CRUNCHING NOISE" DETAIL) ON VARIOUS PATHFINDER OWNER FORUMS ONLINE. THIS IS CLEARLY A MASSIVE MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER EMERGENCY A DRIVER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY ENOUGH AND THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK FOR THE DRIVER.

AIR BAGS
I HAD MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SHOWING AIRBAG OFF WHEN I AM SITTING IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. EVERY TIME I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM I WAS GIVEN AN EXCUSE AS TO WHY IT IS HAPPENING. THE WAY I SIT ANDTHE VEHICLE HAS TO BE SHUT OFF AND ON AGAIN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ARE EXCUSES GIVEN. WHEN THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED I FIGURED THE PROBLEM WOULD FINALLY BE FIXED. I WAS WRONG, THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME 100 TIMES WORSE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN AND A REPROGRAM WAS PERFORMED. NOW EVERYTIME I GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE SAYING AIRBAG OFF AND WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT AND THE DRIVER STARTS TO DRIVE IT WILL STAY ILLUMINATED FOR ABOUT 20-25 MINUTES AT ANY SPEED FROM LOCAL TO HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR A PERMANENT FIX.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I DID A RECALL ON CRT I BELIEVE IT WAS CALLED. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AT AROUND 20-30. THEY HAD A RECALL FOR IT. IT FIXED IT FOR ABOUT 20,000 MILES AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. THE SERVICE MAN SAID I NEED TO DO TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THAT WILL NOT STOP THE SHAKING! I WENT TO ACCELERATE YESTERDAY IN AN INTERSECTION AND IT WOULD NOT GO. AFTER CONTINUELY TRYING IT WENT. ALSO AM STILL WAITING ON RECALL FOR FRONT SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT. THEY NEVER CALLED ME TO SAY IT WAS IN. THAT WAS A MONTH AGO. I HAVE ALSO JUST REPLACED THE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS FALLING AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE IS DOING IT. WORST, MOST UNSAFE CAR I HAVE EVER HAD.
