2013 Nissan Pathfinder electric power wheels makes high pitch noise. It is very uncomfortable to me causing headaches. The noise is very loud, I have to turn on the cd or radio. And make me cannot Focus on my driving. I went to three Nissan dealers, but they all told me that it is normal. But this is absolutely not normal. And other cars do not make this noise. This high pitch noise starts when weather got cold. Nissan dealer told me that when weather gets warm, the noise will gone. But we live in the MA 01824, it is long winter.

Have owned the vehicle for 3 weeks. Wife was returning from picking of pizza and was 2 miles from house - called me to tell me the car is "dead". arrived to find fluid all over street behind and below vehicle. Had it towed to the dealer and the next day was told they would be replacing the radiator and transmission. Was told that the hose for transmission was manufactured a bit too small and they have been "falling off" resulting in a transmission and radiator burn out. Not how I wanted to begin ownership with a Nissan...
