MY NISSAN HAS BEEN GETTING STUCK IN PARK FOR THE LAST WEEK. AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND OUT HOW TO MANUALLY RELEASE THE SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC TODAY & SURE ENOUGH HE SAID IT'S FAILED. I HAVE TO MANUALLY RELEASE IT 3/4 OF THE DAY. SOMETIMES I AM LUCKY AND IT WILL UNLOCK ON THE FIRST TRY AFTER STARTING MY CAR.

COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY, BAD BEARINGS IN FAN MOTORS. LOUD NOISE DUE TO BAD BEARINGS IN FAN. OCCURS PRIMARILY WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER CLUTCH ENGAGES AND COOLING FANS COME ON. ALSO OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN COOLING FANS COME ON. LOUD ROARING NOISE. I ORDERED A TYC623760 REPLACEMENT FAN ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE THE NISSAN/VALEO M154880 UNIT WITH MANUFACTURE DATE OF 12-15-2012 SERIAL #TOWM157978. I AM REPORTING THIS AFTER READING HOW COMMON THIS ISSUE IS IN 2013-2017 NISSAN PATHFINDERS AND THE RATES DEALERS ARE CHARGING FOR THE REPAIR. I SAW ONLINE THAT DEALERS CHARGE $850.00 TO 1250.00. MY LOCAL DEALER CHARGES $980.00 PLUS TAX. I PAID $176.00 FOR THE PART AND IT TOOK ME UNDER 90 MINUTES TO INSTALL AFTER WATCHING A YOUTUBE VIDEO. THIS WAS A REPAIR ANYONE COULD DO THAT DIDN'T MIND A LITTLE GRIME ON THEIR HANDS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT INSTEAD OF ISSUING A RECALL ON A CLEARLY FLAWED PART, THAT NISSAN IS VIEWING THIS AS A MONEY MAKER FOR THEIR DEALERSHIPS.

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND STARTED JERKING. I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO INVESTIGATE AND THE CAR HESITATED TO SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE OR REVERSE. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION AND HAVE COME TO KNOW THE FOLLOWING: THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT CREATES AN UNREASONABLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND CREATES THE RISK OF A CRASH; IT IS INEVITABLE THAT AN INDIVIDUAL WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO A COLLISION CAUSED BY THIS SAFETY DEFECT. NISSAN'S CVTS EXPERIENCE SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED SHAKING AND VIOLENT JERKING (COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS 'JUDDERING' OR 'SHUDDERING') THE VEHICLES HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.

WHILE IN MOTION, VEHICLE GAS PEDAL CEASED ACCELERATING. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, COULD NO LONGER MOVE THE CAR FORWARD OR BACKWARD. CAR WAS COMPLETELY IMMOBILE AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO NEAREST MECHANIC. MECHANIC INDICATED THE TRANSMISSION HOSE WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM ALONG WITH A FAULTY A/C COMPRESSOR. SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V142000 CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID THEY REFUSE TO HONOR IT BECAUSE MY VIN SHOWS IT WAS MANUFACTURED AT A DIFFERENT PLANT THAN THE ONE SHOWN EXPERIENCING ISSUES.

THE SUNVISORS ARE CHEAPLY MADE AND BREAK. THEREFORE THEY BECOME DANGEROUS. I HAVE LOOKED INTO REPLACING AND WAS GIVEN A CODE OF 200.00 A PIECE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF SAFETY ISSUES.

AROUND 90K MILES I BEGAN TO FEEL A SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING. NOW THAT MY EXTENDED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WARRANTY IS OUT, IT RAN OUT AT 100K AND I CURRENTLY HAVE 105K MILES ON IT, THE VIBRATION HAS BECOME MORE NOTICABLE AFFECTING ACCELERATION . UPON REVIEWING MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE I FEEL LIKE I AM HAVING SAME ISSUE. THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IT USED TO ACCELERATE FAIRLY SMOOTH BUT NOW VIBRATES, IF YOU RELEASE THE GAS SOME AND REAPPLY THE GAS, IT SEEMS TO HELP IT SMOOTH IT OUT. SMOOTHS OUT OVER 60 MILES AND RUNS PRETTY SMOOTH. SO PROBLEM OCCURS DURING ACCELERATION BETWEEN 15 TO 45 MILES PER HOUR

MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT SHOW IN RECALL HOWEVER OVER 80,000 VEHICLES HAD SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THE BREAK LIGHT SWITCH, ELECTRICAL RELAY IS STICKING AND CAUSED BREAK LIGHTS TO BE ON WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND I AM NOT IN THE CAR. THEN WHEN DRIVING BREAK LIGHTS COME ON AND I AM NOT PRESSING THE BREAKS. ALSO THE CAR WOULD NOT GO WHEN SHOULD AND I HAVE TO HIT THE GAS PADDLE AGAIN TO MAKE IT MOVE. SCARY GETTING ON THE FREEWAY.

WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN AUGUST OF 2018. I DID NOTICE THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS WERE HANGING LOW. AND THAT THEY DIDN'T FULLY HOLD UP WHEN USED. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T A WARRANTY COVERED ITEM. I TRIED REACHING OUT TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD US THE VEHICLE AND STILL NO LUCK! IT EVENTUALLY BROKE ALL THE WAY AND THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR CANNOT BE USED AT ALL AND IS BEING HELD UP BY A BUNGEE CORD!! I CANNOT USE THIS VISOR WHILE DRIVING AND IT IS A HAZARD!! I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE TO BRING TO RECALL. THERE IS A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE STATING A DEALER HAD TO REPLACE OVER 50 VISORS ON THEIR LOT!! SEARCH IT. MY COMPLAINT ISN'T THE FIRST ONE! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE/HAZARD/CONCERN FOR ALL INVOLVED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I AM EXPERIENCING FAILURES ON BOTH OF MY SUN VISORS AFTER VERY LIGHT USE. THEY FLOP DOWN AND OBSTRUCT MY VISION WHILE I AM DRIVING CAUSING A SAFETY AND VISIBILITY CONCERN. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. NISSAN CHARGES AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT FOR THIS REPLACEMENT PART WHICH DETERS CONSUMERS FROM FIXING THE VISIBILITY ISSUE AND FURTHER EXACERBATES THE SAFETY CONCERN.
