Pathfinder

  • 20,000 miles
Case # 20303916 - filed with Nissan Consumer Affairs. Electrical malfunction with door locking mechanism, lift-gate, dvd headset & remote as well as transmission is hard to pull and gets stuck. Due to malfunction with door locks, our 2 year old baby was locked in the car. We had to break the window to get her out. Since the key fob was in the car, the car should have never locked. We have provided Nissan Consumer Affairs with video footage of the lift gate and key fob malfunctions.

The electrical system is malfunctioning which is causing the parking brake sensor and the I-key sensor to turn on and off without the brake system being used. The radio and odometer screen is shutting off while driving, the mileage is fluctuating as well as the gas gauge. The dashboard was replaced by the dealer but the system is still malfunctioning.

2014 Nissan Pathfinder. Attorney writes on behalf of client in regards to brake failure. The consumer stated he came upon a deer in the road. In response, he attempted to engage his brakes; however, the braking system failed and/or delayed stopping the vehicle after he applied the brake pedal, resulting in an impact between the vehicle and the deer. Upon investigation, it was discovered Nissan had substantial issues with the braking system in certain Nissan Pathfinder's, including the consumers vehicle, at the time of the accident, which lead to recall # 13V445000.

Pathfinder 4WD

  • 9,120 miles
The vehicle makes a high pitch noise when driving at low speed or in park. This noise was not present when test driving the car and apparently only begins to manifest itself after having been driven a few weeks or months. Nissan knows about the issue as it is also a problem with the 2013 Altima which also uses the new electronic power steering unit. Nissan offers no real solution at the moment and deems the noise to be "acceptable" by no ones definition but their own. Nissan's solution thus far is to wrap the tubes in tape to dampen the noise. Thank you

The vehicle began to "shudder" around 25 mph. It happened the next day after I purchased it. I took it to dealer on following Monday to do undercoating and told them about the issue. They could not duplicate it. I took it in about a week later and they still could not duplicate it. I was in the area of the dealership when the issue occurred. I arrived at dealership and supervisor went for a ride with me and was able to duplicate the issue. They confirmed it was the transmission. It took them about a week to get the part and had my vehicle for almost a full week to install transmission. Once I received my vehicle back from them I started having issues with the car not starting. After about 5 tries, the vehicle would start and all mileage and fuel gauges would go back to zero. I was recently able to get the car back to the dealer and they determined the battery was half dead. They recharged the battery last Monday, June 16th. I had no issues for the first few days and on Thursday, June 19th, the car would not start again. It took many tries to get it started. I had to return to the dealer again today. As of right now they do not know why the battery keeps draining.
