VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BOTH SUN VISORS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT GO UP AND HANG DOWN DUE TO A DEFECT. THIS BLOCKS THE VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD AND POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AS IF YOU WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THE PERSON WOULD GET INJURED BY THE VISOR HANGING DOWN. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN MENTIONED ONLINE BY MANY NISSAN OWNERS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER. I RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE OF $430.84 TO GET THEM REPLACED. WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY VISORS WERE LIKE THIS WAS WHEN. I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE NISSAN GARAGE AS THEY WERE FIXING A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. I TRIED TO PUSH UP AND THEY WOULD JUST FALL DOWN AGAIN. NOTHING I DID TO CAUSE THIS.

POWER TRAIN
ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN MARCH 2018 WITH ERROR CODE P17F0 DUE TO TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING. RECENTLY STARTED HAVING SAME ISSUES HAPPEN AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, NOTICED SUDDEN ACCELERATION DELAY WHEN AT STOPPED POSITIONS/LOW SPEED POSITIONS. VEHICLE NOISE HAS BECOME VERY LOUD WHEN IDLE OR LOW SPEED. TOOK IT INTO NISSAN DEALER, THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE ERROR AND IDENTIFIED SAME ISSUE. SINCE NO ERROR CODE, THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT STATED CANNOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THERE'S NO CODE. NISSAN HAS RECOMMENDED DRIVING AROUND UNTIL ERROR CODE POPS UP - 3000KM/3MOS LEFT ON EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF ERROR CODE DOESN'T GET STORED, I'M TOLD THEY CAN'T FIX. TAKING BACK IN FOR RE-DIAGNOSIS AS TRANSMISSION NOISE IS UNBEARABLE

I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN THEY SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THE HOSES ON VEHICLE. NOW THAT THAT HAS BEEN DONE THEY ARE TELLING ME I AM STILL HAVING A TRANSMISSION LEAK. BECAUSE OF BAD CLAMPS. THEY HAVE NOW TOLD ME THEY CANNOT REPLACE JUST CLAMPS AND MUST REPLACE RADIATOR ALSO. I HAVE FOUND THAT NISSAN HAS A RECALL POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLING UNIT AND LINES ON 2013 PATHFINDERS. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL THEY SAID MINE DOESNT QUALIFY.... EVEN THOUGH SAME ISSUE AS OTHER 2013 PATHFINDERS WITH RECALL

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE SRS LIGHT IS FLASHING ON THE DASH. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT DETECT A PASSENGER WEIGHING OVER 150 LBS. THE PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. IN MAY OF 2018, THE PROBLEM WAS TEMPORARILY FIXED BY REPLACING THE ACU DIAG UNIT, THE AIR BAG PRESS DETECTION MODULE ASSEMBLY, THE OCCUPANT SENSOR, AND THE AIR BAG PRESSURE DETECTION SENSOR. THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AGAIN JUST OVER A YEAR LATER. THIS PROBLEMS OCCURS IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT ALL TIMES. THE FLASHING LIGHT SUPPRESSES THE AIR BAG SYSTEM MEANING AN AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD DURING AN ACCIDENT. THIS LEAVES MY FAMILY AND I AT RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH IF AN ACCIDENT WAS TO OCCUR. THE REOCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM TOOK PLACE ON AUGUST 13, 2009. THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED ON MAY, 9, 2018.

I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE DEFECT UNTIL IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION AFTER ASKING A DEALERSHIP WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THEY ADVISED ME TO CHECK FOR RECALLS ON THE MODEL AND YEAR FOR MY VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT I COULD BE ON THE FREEWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN WHICH I HAVE ADOPTED AND SOMEONE NOT PAYING ATTENTION HITS AND KILLS US OR/ AND SOMEONE ELSE. THANKS FOR AT LEAST LISTENING. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TO HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO ABIDE WITH THE LAW AND NOW, I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. *JB
