While driving on the parkway several times for traveling to work, my car would suddenly and violently shudder and drop speed much lower than the posted speed limit. My RPMs would race from 1.5 to 5 but no increase in speed when the accelerator was pushed. I had to put my emergency 4 way lights on and drive in the far right lane. Nissan dealership kept saying the vehicle was working fine when I complained about it. I took it in for service at least twice, nothing found. Then when my whole family was with me, the car shuddered violently, and would not respond at all with the accelator pedal and was unresponsive and the brakes difficult to engage and hard to steer. I had to glide into the shoulder to make a full stop. Then the engine would not turn off. All I could do was put my emergency flashers on and put the windows down for air. I had to call for help. My husband then tried the next day to drive my vehicle to the Nissan dealership, but again, the vehicle broke down and had to be towed. Nissan then finally diagnosed the problems as needing transmission replacement. Since it is a hybrid 2014 Nissan Pathfinder with less than 84,000 miles and over 7 years old I would need to buy a new transmission for over $14,000. My milage is under 73,500, but my vehicle is 9 years old. So my mileage is acceptable, but the age of the vehicle disqualifies me, because both parameters must be met for warranty to be effective. I already spent $1400 for a new air compressor system less than 3 months earlier for the same vehicle. I had no heat and no air conditioner.

Yesterday as I was driving normally at about 40mph the traffic came to a stop I slowed down as usual then came to a complete stop when traffic began to move again I gently accelerated and my car started moving abnormally slow I pressed down a bit more on the pedal and no acceleration at all the car was on and on drive mode there was nothing irregular but it would not advance more than about 2/3 miles per hour super slow. This went on for a minute and no matter how many times I pressed the gas pedal nothing happened I was absolutely terrified of the cars and semis behind me because it was a freeway and traffic flow started moving quick and I was still at less than 5mph Suddenly the car jerked and at last speed. I drove off with the car working normal again but that situation has be very worried and scared because it is my main transportation for my 3 children

We have a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder and started having issues in June 2021. Our car stalled while driving home from work almost causing an accident. Had it towed to Nissan and they told us we needed to replace the Transmission. It took them 2 months to fix our car. In the midst of fixing the transmission they said the supercharger pulley needed to be replaced. OKAY! We finally get our car and a day later the check engine light is on again and now the horn wont stop blaring. We had to disconnect the battery. WE TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN and they said the battery was bad. They replaced it but it did not fix the issue. Nissan had to call the Nissan Tech Line for suggestions. So they said the DC/DC converter assy needed to be replaced and the HV harness was also failing to communicate. All this is connected to the transmission. With the new recall coming out all of this should be refunded. We need assistance. Any information or suggestions anyone has would be highly helpful.

In 2017 the engine light came on and I took my car to Nissan of McKinney, Texas. They found the transmission was damaged and they claimed they replaced with another/new transmission. On November 18, 2021 the engine light came on again and I took the car to Nissan of McKinney. Michael D. Riffe at phone number 214 390 5370 or 469 877 0690 was my service agent., after inspecting the car, he told me that the transmission is bad again and I need to pay approx. $5900 before tax and labor. I reminded him that they had just changed the transmission in 2017 so I didn't understand why the 2nd transmission went bad again, he refused to help repair/replace the transmission even though they claimed to have installed a new transmission in 2017. Michael told me since I had added miles on the car they can't replace the transmission and I will need to pay approx. $5900 before tax for it to be replaced. Nissan of McKinney is deceptive, I feel like I was robbed and Nissan of McKinney lied in 2017 when they claimed that they had replaced the transmission because a transmission does not just break and they never showed me proof that they had installed a new transmission. I am requesting for assist so Nissan of McKinney/Nissan can take full responsibility and repair/replace the transmission at no charge. Also, after a research I found similar SUVs had transmission issues and there was a lawsuit filed in which Nissan accepted to settle, I was never made aware of this lawsuit and my vehicle is one of the affected vehicles in the lawsuit.

June 2021 I brought my 2014 Nissan Pathfinder in for routine maintenance. I was informed there was a recall for the 'Brake Switch'. I had not received notice for this recall but east Charlotte Nissan insisted it get done. Until this date I had NO problems with this vehicle. Right after the recall was done I was driving thru a round-a-bout, tapped the brakes and then had NO Acceleration. There was a semi-truck on my bumper and I had no where to go. I immediately brought the vehicle back to EC and they insisted it was my transmission. They said they found no issues and charged me for work that was not necessary. I continued to brake down 4 more times pulling my trailer from NC to ME. Two incidents were on I81N. I had semi-trucks all around me. Panicked!! I had the vehicle into 4 different dealers, 6 different times. They could not fix the issue. I asked Berlin City Nissan to at least replace the recall parts. They did. My vehicle totally broke down this time, again going thru a round-a-bout. Every light on the dash was flashing. I had no control of the vehicle but was able to roll onto the sidewalk. I was too afraid to drive this vehicle any further. I called a tow truck. Several dealers explained they had seen this already and thought they could repair. None Could. Marc Motors sent that vehicle off to auction, as is!!! I have nightmares of some mom breaking down with her kids in the car. I have filed complaints with Nissan, 10 different departments. Nissan Corporate is telling me the NHTSA is responsible for the Nightmare Nissan has caused me and have 'brushed me off'. I am now in a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder and have identified 3 different issues with the vehicle. One of which is very dangerous. Not sure where to go next. I have all the documentation to back up my claim. Can you help?

Upper intake manifold cracked. This was found out by rough idling, slow acceleration, increased gas usage, and engine light on.

Our Nissan Pathfinder is giving us inaccurate fuel gauge reading when the fuel in the tank is at 1/4 or below. It can show us that we have 120 miles to empty tank and 5 minutes later that we have 20 miles to empty, then it could stay at 20 miles for more than 50-60 miles driven. This causes road hazard since we can't tell exactly how much fuel we have in the tank and we always have to keep it above 1/2 of the tank to avoid issues.

While driving on the freeway the accelerator would suddenly not respond becoming a life hazard to my family and myself and also other drivers behind my vehicle; the cruise control also stop operating when this occurs. Also the brake light would illuminate without the brake pedal being depressed and with the car being off.

I have noticed this for awhile, but it has gotten worse. I am now at 6800 miles, and when I pulled into my driveway last night, my gas gauge read that I had 86 miles to empty. This morning, taking my kids to school, I all of a sudden had 56 miles to empty. When I got to the stop light not even a mile away with the school to my left, my low fuel light came on, and by the time I turned into the parking lot, 2 minutes later, my electronic gauge was blinking at me and the actual gas gauge was at 0. I then had to wait in the drop off line hoping I wouldn't run out of gas while I was dropping them off. (I would of totally ruined their lives haha!) I was so nervous driving, trying to make it to the gas station. I made it. Filled all the way up and it only allowed me to fill up 15 gallons. Not my normal 16. So apparently it just wanted to give me a heart attack early this morning. How am I even supposed to know how much gas I have left" guess? just keep it topped off every [xxx] day" dumb.

I purchased a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder as used vehicle in September 2015. Since purchasing the vehicle my wife has complained about the vehicle shuddering at low speed or when turning. This shuddering has become more frequent and now happens when the vehicle is cruising down the road. We have also noticed that the passenger airbag will show that there is no body in the seat even when there is someone sitting in the seat. The first time we took the vehicle back to the dealership the mechanic was not able to experience the issues that we had communicated to them ad dismissed our claims. Contacting dealership 6/6 to have vehicle issues checked again.

I bought my car new 11.23.13. On 10.06.14, I was driving on the freeway at about 70, my car stopped accelerating. I would try to push the gas pedal & nothing would happen. It would punch in & out & finally catch. About 20 min later, my car stopped accelerating & would punch in & out constantly & I would slow to about 50 mph where cars behind me are swerving not realizing I am slowing down so fast. I couldn't get it to accelerate & tried to get over onto the shoulder. It never accelerated again. I got a tow to the dealership & they figured it was my transmission. They called to tell me they replaced it & realized that the transmission wasn't the problem. The next day they said "you may have put in some bad gas." Bad gas? whatever. So, they have no idea what the problem was. They drained the gas put some new gas in & gave me the car back 10.14.14. On 10.21.14, the problem came back. We were at a stop light. The car would not accelerate. This time I was with my husband & 2 young children (2 & 4). We shut off the car to reset it & turned it back on. We were able to get it moving again & drove back to the dealership. Some Nissan engineers came in to figure out what the problem was. The Nissan rep called me to ask questions like, "how many miles did I drive before my car stopped accelerating (10 miles) & did the odometer & others reset (no). They had no idea what was causing my car to do this so they replaced the battery, alternator, control panel, you name it. Got the car back 10.31.14 & on 11.05.14 it happened again. This time at night in the carpool lane. We made it home. This is scary now. The next day the car stalled at the red light. Started it up again, & it went for a second & stalled. It did this twice. I got a tow to the dealership. I told them I do not want the car back due to fearing for the safety of myself & my children. So far, no help. Will have to fight.
