Pathfinder

My car was bought brand new, no accidents, and only has less than 53 miles to be a 2016 Pathfinder. So tell me why the cheap motor fan that Nissan put it in stared making a clang noise everything I would turn the air or heater on. Like Nissan what is this. With all this complains about the same item, you guys should put a recall onthis item. It's ashamed so far bad experience with to vehicles from you guys. Even on the Nissan titan that we bought brand new at 3 months something was wrong with the engine and gas tank and you guys did not want to take responsibility for the vehicle. Knowing that you guys could not even determine why the truck was not working. You guys even brought in an expert from the Nissan factory and still did not find why it was not working. Knowing what was happening you guys would not even trade in the truck for another one. We ended up fighting with Nissan and returned the truck back. To top that off I received a bill for half the truck price. I would never recommend Nissan.

2016 Nissan Pathfinder, started making loud clanking noises and vibrating in the front of the vehicle when the air conditioning went on. Did not matter if the vehicle was stationary or in motion. First noticed after exiting the highway and noticed the temp needle was slowing climbing. The bearing on one of the cooling fans crapped out with only 49,000 miles. Was lucky to have caught it before it overheated or blew the motor. An expensive repair not covered by the dealership.

I don't recall the exact date of the first time I took it. Taken the vehicle twice and had to insist multiple times in order for Nissan to keep the car and keep testing as well as for them to open a case. The screen for the 2016 Pathfinder has turned solid blue a few times but not sure what causes it. Dealership blamed the cell phone which I don't believe that to be true. They will not fix it because they say they don't know how to duplicate it so there's nothing than can do. This screen is where clients like myself see the full view of the outside of the vehicle (safety) as well as other parts gps, A/C & heater temperature control, radio channels, weather etc. I refuse to believe no one else has had this issue and I refuse to it's the phones fault (many cell phone users which is a large number would have been sending tons of complaints). I strongly believe it's a Nissan issue with the car that I think it's a safety issue if the screen turns blue when backing

Nissan of chattanooga East states common failure at bearings inside the dual cooling fans behind radiator. This is not covered by warranty but is so very common there absolutely should be a recall by Nissan

Pathfinder

  • 64,000 miles
Cooling fan assembly failed on 1/26/2019 at 64, xxx miles. New assy was purchased on 1/26/2019 from tony serra Nissan in cullman, al costing $560.29 (part and tax only). I R/R the assy myself, as I have experience in the automotive repair field, it took me just shy of 2 hours to replace them (time and care was taken). The service manager (I failed to acquire his name) stated to me on the phone that it is a known/frequent issue. It was a sudden issue, no noises detected on 1/25/2019. A light clicking detected outside only on 1/26/2019 at 09:30 hrs, after a <50 mile round trip to purchase the part, eat, and grocery store stop, on 1/26/2019 at 16:00 hrs, a heavy knock could be readily heard outside the vehicle as well as a 'loud roar' and vibrations detected inside the vehicle with all windows closed, stationary vehicle, and engine at idle. Symptoms would dissolve when the A/C was deactivated. All regular maintenance performed on time, with the exception of brake fluid change. Vehicle is also regularly cleaned.
