MY TRANSMISSION DIED ON I 95 AFTER ONLY 38,000 MILES. IT WAS REPLACED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEN A MONTH LATER THE BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION LEAKED SO MUCH FLUID THAT THE GOODYEAR MECHANIC THAT I TOOK THE CAR TO(SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WASN'T OPEN) COULDN'T FIND WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTUALLY LEAKING FROM.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY SUN VISORS ON MY SUV THAT I PURCHASED NEW WILL NOT STAY UP. THEY HANG DOWN IN A VERY AWKWARD POSITION AND POSE A MAJOR VISIBILITY ISSUE. I DRIVE OVER 50 MILES DAILY FOR WORK AND STEERING MY CAR WHILE TRYING TO HOLD UP MY PASSENGER VISOR HAS AND IS POSING A MAJOR VISIBILITY ISSUE. I READ COUNTLESS POST BLOG WITH OTHER PATHFINDER OWNER WHO HAVE THE EXACT SAME IS. I AM TAKING MY SUV TO NISSAN TO SEE IF THIS IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY MAIN CONCERN IS ONCE MY WARRANTY HAA EXPIRED AS NUMEROUS OF PATHFINDER OWNERS HAVE, THIS WILL BE AN EXPENSE THAT I WILL HAVE TO ABSORB WHEN I SHOULDN'T BECAUSE IT IS A CLEAR MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I AM BEING TOLD THE CAUSE OF MY OSSUE IS THAT NISSAN MADE THW VISORS TOO HEAVY FOR THE BRACKETS THAT SUPPORT THEM CAUSING THEM TO FALL AND IMPAIR VISIBILITY WHICH IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT COULD BE DEADLY. I AM A MOTHER OF TWO AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED NEW BC OF SAFETY IS IN FACT SAFE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS SUV HAD TO HAVE REAR SHOCK/STRUT REPLACED. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL HAS BEEN REPLACED. PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COMES ON WHEN PERSON IS SITTING THERE. CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE SUV HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR EACH ISSUE THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 6 PLUS TIMES AND I JUST PICKED UP THE 2014 PATHFINDER 8-16-2016 AND WAS TOLD AND HAVE IT ON MY INVOICE THAT THE SERVICE TECH DROVE THE SUV AND FEELS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING OR SKIPPING BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO NISSAN POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT SHOWING A CODE. SO I HAVE A 2014 PATHFINDER THAT IS A COMPLETE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. THE SUV WILL CUT OUT, SLIP, SHUTTER, LOSE POWER AND HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING AND ACCIDENT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHICH IS TERRIBLE FOR WHO EVER WAS TO HIT ME AND ALSO COULD BE FATAL IF I WAS TO BE HIT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY COULD REALLY HURT/KILL THE PASSENGER. EVERY EXCUSE I GET FROM NISSAN IS THEY REPROGRAMMED THE CAR AND THIS NEVER FIXED ANYTHING. THE CAR WAS HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES BACK BEFORE IT MADE IT TO 30,000 MILES AND NOW AT 55,000 MILES THE SUV IS HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX. NISSAN INSTEAD PUTS THIS SUV BACK ON THE ROAD KNOWING IT IS HAVING A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ACCELERATION AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR-BAG AND PUTTING PEOPLE AT RISK. I AM REQUESTING NISSAN TO DO A BUY BACK OF THIS SUV. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT WITH ANOTHER FAULTY TRANSMISSION OR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT IN FEDERAL COURT IN FLORIDA WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. SO OBLIVIOUSLY THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS.

SEAT BELTS
WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY (39, BEACH BLVD IN BUENA PARK, CA.) PROCEEDING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD THE THIRD ROW LEFT SEAT BELT ANCHOR BECAME UNATTACHED FROM THE SEAT/VEHICLE FRAME WHILE IN USE BY AN ADULT THAT WAS OCCUPYING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE THIRD ROW SEAT. THE ANCHOR OF THE BELT WHERE THE BELT BUCKLE LATCHES INTO CAME COMPLETELY LOOSE FROM THE CAR, ENDANGERING THE ADULT OCCUPANT. THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY BREAK BUT LIKELY DEFECT AS THERE WERE NO BROKEN, CRACKED OR DAMAGED PARTS VISIBLY SEEN. NISSAN U.S.A. WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THE SITUATION AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH US DUE TO THE INDIVIDUAL BEING UNFAMILIAR WITH THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ENOUGH TO COMPREHEND NORMAL AND RELEVANT CONVERSATION AND DETAILS ABOUT THEIR PRODUCT. A CALL BACK TO THE SAME NUMBER PROVIDED BY NISSAN U.S.A. ENCOUNTERED THE SAME DIFFICULTY AND AN OVERALL DISREGARD OF THE PROBLEM. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP INSTRUCTED US THAT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL, WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. OUR THIRD ROW IS ONLY UTILIZED RARELY WHEN WE HAVE MORE THAN 4 OCCUPANTS, AND HAS ONLY BEEN USED 3 TIMES. NO ABUSE OF THE BUCKLE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL HAS OCCURRED. THE PASSENGER IN THIS CASE COULD HAVE BEEN EJECTED FATALLY IN A COLLISION.

POWER TRAIN
I STARTED NOTICING A SLIGHT SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE. THEN I WOULD NOTICE SHAKING PERIODICALLY ON THE FREEWAY; THINKING IT WAS THE ROAD. NOW, FAST FORWARD MY CAR OBVIOUSLY HAS A BIGGER ISSUE. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR BEGAN TO SPUDDER AND JERK AND FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO LOSE POWER. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE FREEWAY AND TOOK THE STREETS WORRIED IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART ON ME. I DROVE A FEW MILES AND JUMPED BACK ON THE FREEWAY THINKING IT WOULD GO AWAY. NOPE! SAME THING HAPPENED AND I WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENED THAT I WAS GOING TO GET SMASHED FROM BEHIND. THE SPUDDER FEELS AS IF YOU ARE GOING OFF ROADING. THIS OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY WHEN PROCEEDING TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING IN TRAFFIC. I THOUGHT FOR SURE I WAS BREAKING DOWN AND MY VEHICLE WAS STALING.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND ISSUE REMAINS: AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN 100 TO 300 LB PERSON SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT. HAVE RECEIVED INTERIM OWNER NOTIFICATION ON NHTSA RECALL 16V-244. WHEN I CONTACTED TWO DEALERS ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM THEY TELL ME THAT PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE. WHEN CONTACTING NISSAN SAFETY I AM TOLD PARTS WILL SHIP AT THE END OF AUGUST. AM I TO NOT CARRY A PASSENGER UNTIL THEN? UNACCEPTABLE. I USE THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK AND NEED TO HAVE PEOPLE RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER AS A NEW VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2015. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE VEHICLE SHUDDERING AT LOW SPEED OR WHEN TURNING. THIS SHUDDERING HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT AND NOW HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD. WE HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL SHOW THAT THERE IS NO BODY IN THE SEAT EVEN WHEN THERE IS SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE ISSUES THAT WE HAD COMMUNICATED TO THEM AND DISMISSED OUR CLAIMS. WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DISCUSS SHUDDERING ISSUE AS IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT.

WAS NOTIFIED OF NHTSA RECALL 16V-244 IN EARLY JUNE 2016 OF A PROBLEM WITH ENGAGING FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG. THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM WAS INITIALLY NOTED BY ME (OWNER) IN NOVEMBER 2013. NISSAN SUPPORSEDLY RELOADED SOFTWARE WHICH SOLVED PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH WE CONTINUED TO HAVE INDICATION FROM DASHBOARD LIGHT OF NON-ENGAGEMENT WHEN SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. NOW ALMOST TWO YEAR LATER WE RECEIVE THIS RECALL NOTICE. SCHEDULED RECALL FIX APPOINTMENT WITH PRIORITY NISSAN CHANTILLY SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR 6/29/16 AND WAS RECONFIRMED FOR APPOINTMENT BY DEALERSHIP ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. UPON ARRIVAL AT SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT (0800, 6/29/16) WAS RUDELY INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE FOR FIX. LOST TIME AND NOT FIX AFTER ALMOST TWO YEARS AND NOW TWO MONTHS FROM FORMAL RECALL NOTICE. DEALERSHIP DIDN'T SEEM TO BE CONCERNED WITH MY CONCERN. NOW I ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN DETERMINING WHETHER MY VEHICLE IS SAFE FOR A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT, WHEN AIRBAG DOES NOT ENGAGE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT IS NISSAN USA DOING TO ASSURE DEALERSHIPS ARE TAKING THIS RECALL SERIOUSLY AND WHAT ACTIONS TO OBTAIN APPROPRIATE PARTS FOR FIX ARE BEING TAKEN.
