My Nissan Pathfinder is white in color. It is very noticeable that the front and back bumpers, spoiler over hatch back, and the two size mirrors are a different color than the rest of the SUV. These areas appear to be a cream color instead of white. Every person that I have pointed out this issue to agrees with me.I have taken it in twice to the dealership and complained. They took pictures and said that they would file it will Nissan. I have called and haven't gotten any feedback. I am very disappointed and will never purchase another Nissan.

While driving between 60 thru 75 mph the hood vibrates and moves excessively in the air stream. I informed the Nissan dealer and Nissan Consumer Affairs. They did adjust the hood and assured us it was safe but the problem is still there. Since the adjustment I think the movement with the wind made it worse. My concern is fatigue caused from the movement will eventually cause the hood to fly up causing an accident or even blowing off.

Vehicle hood starts vibrating at or above 50mph and even earlier in cross wind.

Driving the vehicle approximately 20 - 25 mph, and heard the rear driver's side window slowly cracking, and then by the time we got home, likely due to the heavy wind, it was completely shattered. I've never had a window shatter for no reason whatsoever. In the past I've noticed the window a little slow to go up or down, but had no idea it would result in this. My daughter was sitting in the seat, but thankfully she moved immediately as the cracking began.

The hood of the vehicle will noticeably begin to move up and down rapidly at speeds over 60mph--if its windy the movement becomes even worse. I took it the dealership and was told Nissan is aware of this issue and there is no fix for it. That the rapid movement does not represent a safety issue so the consumer will have to accept it. I was not told or warned about this issue prior to my purchasing the vehicle, but the dealership was aware of it. Nissan Corp. Had already notified the service dept. Of the dealerships that this was an issue that could not be corrected in both the 2013/2014 Pathfinders. I hope the hood catch and mounts can hold up to the constant vibration and movement. It is also an unnecessary distraction and unnerving to the driver when it is driven on the highway.

We, like many other owners, are having problems with the cvt transmission in our 2013 Nissan Pathfinder 4X4. At low speed acceleration, transmission shakes violently and power is lost -- cannot speed up. Also happens at high/highway speeds. It is an intermittent problem but a dangerous one, both when trying to speed up from rolling start or when passing/accelerating at highway speeds. I have contacted Nissan, taken to a dealer where they say they will replace torque converter. I hope this will help but most other owners reporting similar issues say these are not fixes and problems recur. Will report back. Beyond the transmission issue, our hood also buffets significantly at highway speeds. It visibly shakes and when I asked the dealership to fix, they said they could not recreate and it wasn't dangerous.
