I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR AND CONDENSER FAN MALFUNCTIONING. I WAS LOOKING ONLINE AND I'M NOT THE ONLY WAY THERE ARE THOUSAND OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING THE SAME. LOOKS LIKE THEY DID IT ON PURPOSE AS THEY ALL SEEM TO FAILED AROUND THE SAME MILEAGES. 40K TO 50K. AND FOR A PC OF PLASTIC IT IS REALLY EXPENSIVE.JUST THE PART ITSELF IS 288.00 DOLLARS. THAT IS MORE THAN THE COST OF A REGULAR WINDOW AC. PLEASE LOOK ONLINE FOR THE PROBLEM YOU WILL SEE MULTIPLES FORUMS COMPLAINING OF THIS. SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FIX THEM IRREPLACEABLE THEM ON THEIR OWN AS NISSAN CHARGE MORE THAN 1000 THOUSAND TO FIX THIS. REPEAT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE DOING IT ON PURPOSE. THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2014. AND STILL USING THE SAME FAN AND DESIGN UNTIL THIS YEAR MODEL. THANK YOU

DURING ACCELERATION THERE IS A SUDDEN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OFF AND THE RPMS DO NOT RISE. THE POWER WILL COME BACK WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. I WAS ON A SURFACE STREET MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO TO AN ACCESS ROAD THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. TODAY, THE NEXT DAY, A WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I TRIED TO GO AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I HAD ZERO POWER FOR 3-4 SECONDS.

I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE VEHICLE HAS 53K MILES AND ESSENTIALLY THE RADIATOR/ A/C CONDENSER FAN ASSEMBLY STARTED MAKING A GRINDING (METAL TO METAL, KNOCKING NOISE. FOR SURE THE FAN BLADES ARE OUT OF BALANCE, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY BROKEN FAN BALDES OR TIPS. I'VE READ SOME COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PATHFINDER OWNERS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT FROM NISSAN. SO FAR THE ISSUE SEEMS START HAPPENING AT AROUND 50K MILES AND UP. FOR THE FAN(S) TO GIVE OUT AT 50K MILES SEEMS TO ME A LITTLE MORE R&D SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPLIED. SO FAR I'VE ONLY SEEN THE 2015 MODELS WITH THE ISSUE. BY THE WAY, THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT... ALL FACTORY, UNTOUCHED... UNRELATED BUT DOES ANYONE ELSE'S ABS BRAKE UNIT MAKE A LOUD WHINING NOISE? I REMEMBER THE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, THE NOISE WAS AT A BARE MINIMUM. AS THE MILES CLIMB UP SO DOES THE NOISE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT WHEN IT WAS TURNED ON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ROUTINE SERVICE WHEN IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COOLANT FAN HAD FAILED. THE DEALER TOWN NORTH NISSAN (9160A RESEARCH BLVD, AUSTIN, TX 78758 (512)-451-7411) WAS CONTACT IN REGARDS TO THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A DIAGNOSED FEE HAD TO BE CHARGED IN ORDER FOR THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRM THERE WERE NO RECALLS UNDER THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,796.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VISORS IN MY 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THEY ARE BOTH BROKE AND HANG DOWN IN FRONT OF MY LINE OF VISION. NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR THESE. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH AND THEY HAVE BROKEN IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT AGAIN. MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE THEM AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AGAIN. SO NOW THE SUN IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AS OPPOSED TO THE VISOR BLOCKING MY LINE OF VISION. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR MANY NISSAN OWNERS. THE DEALERSHIP EVEN NOTED THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE INCIDENT RATES. THE VISORS BOTH BROKE WHILE DRIVING AND I HAD TO HOLD THEM UP AND OUT OF THE WAY MAKING ME UTILIZE ONE HAND TO DRIVE.

COOLING FAN-AFTER TURNING ON THE VEHICLE AND THE A/C A KNOCKING AND RATTLING NOISE CAME FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN I TOOK IT IN, THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS A "WARPED COOLING FAN" AND THAT IF IT BREAKS COMPLETELY WILL NOT COOL THE ENGINE AND WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL AS WELL. THE VEHICLE IS A 2015 WITH 54,000 MILES ON IT. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS AND HAVE OWNED IT FOR 1.5 YEARS. A VEHICLE WITH THIS MILEAGE AND AGE SHOULD NOT HAVE REPAIRS OF THIS MAGNITUDE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
BRAKES MAKE A CLICKING NOISE ALMOST AS IF THE PADS ARE BOUNCING AROUND AT ANY SPEED WITH LIGHT BRAKE APPLICATION. ENGINE COOLING FAN IS MAKING A RACKET BOUNCING OFF OF SHROUD WHEN THE HEAT OR A/C IS TURNED ON. IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE FAN. JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND ONLY HAS 50K. NICE VEHICLE, JUST WISH I DIDNT HAVE TO TURN AROUND AND MAKE REPAIRS THAT SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING AND PUSHING THE GAS THE CAR WILL NOT GO, IT SEEMS IT GETS STUCK AND THE CAR JUST DOESNT MOVE, AFTER PUSHING THE GAS HARD A FEW TIMES AND SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC THE CAR THEN GOES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY FIXED IT BY REPLACING A PART. AFTER MAYBE 1000 MILES LATER IT STARTS DOING IT AGAIN. TAKE IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND THIS WAS AT 59K WHICH HAD ME MAD AS THE WARRANTY WOULD BE EXPIRING SOON AND THE DEALER SAYS TO BAD WE WILL BE AT FAULT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS HAPPENS ON A STREET. AND IS VERY SCARY WHEN PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF CARS AND THEN THE CAR WONT GO.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A POWERFUL EXPLOSION. I SAW DEBRIS OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE AND THOUGHT I HAD A BLOWN TIRE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT WOBBLY. AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND PULLING OVER, I COULD HEAR THE WIND. I SLOWLY STARTED TO OPEN THE SHADE AND THEN REALIZED IT WAS THE SUNROOF THAT HAD EXPLODED

AT 32,000 MILES, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE AREA WHEN AIR CONDITIONING WAS ON. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE DRIVERS SIDE RADIATOR FAN WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE SHROUD. COMPLETE COOLING FAN MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ITEM WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, DEALER REPAIR WAS $1,000 SO IT WAS REPAIRED AT THE LOCAL SHOP FOR $600. I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2013 PATHFINDER AND IT HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AT 45,000 MILES. SEEMS TO ME LIKE A DESIGN ISSUE.

SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER BLOCKING THEIR VIEW OF TRAFFIC. FAULTY SUNVISORS MADE OF PLASTIC ARE THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE MANY PATHFINDER OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM. IF YOU HOLD THE SUN VISOR UP WHILE YOUR DRIVING THEN YOUR DRIVING WITH ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL.

RADIATOR COOLING FAN IS LOOSE AND MAKES A LOUD BANGING NOISE WHEN THE A/C IS ON.THIS STARTED AROUND THE 38K MILEAGE MARK. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY OR WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. SOMETIMES IT'LL GO WEEKS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I'VE NOTICED THAT MAKING SHARP TURNS CAN SET OFF THE WOBBLING FAN, CAUSING WEEKS OF ANNOYING, LOUD, AND QUIET EMBARRASSING BLUNDER AS IF I WERE BANGING POTS AND PANS TOGETHER. IF YOU TURN A/C OFF, THE NOISE STOPS. WHEN INSPECTING THE FAN WITH A/C OFF, THE FAN IS VERY WOBBLY AND APPEARS TO BANG AGAINST OTHER PARTS RESULTING IN THE LOUD NOISE. PLEASE HELP!!!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SUN VISORS ARE POORLY ENGINEERED AND ARE EASILY BROKEN THROUGH NORMAL OPERATION. THE VISOR WAS PLACED AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD TO BLOCK THE SUN, WHILE DRIVING, THE VISOR PIVOTED DOWNWARD AND BLOCKED THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VIEW. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AS ONE CAN EASILY SEE WITH A QUICK WEB QUERY. FRUSTRATING THAT THE PART IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE, BUT EVEN MORE CONCERNING THAT IT PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NISSAN DEALERSHIPS SAID "IT'S COMMON THAT THE VISORS BREAK BECAUSE THEY'RE MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC"
