It begins shaking, jolting and shuddering while driving; started off happening at take off; then progressed to anytime speed was under 35mph; now, it does it often throughout all speeds. Nissan states it needs a new transmission which was quoted to cost $6,600+tax. The vehicle trade-in value is only $5,000ish prior to these symptoms. Vehicle has less than 117,500 miles and all maintenance and fluids have been routinely changed throughout vehicle's lifespan. This CVT issue seems to be ongoing therefore Nissan and other makes should not be allowed to put these into vehicles that are so costly and these transmissions begin to give problems while vehicles are still under warranty. Need assistance in fixing the costly transmission and Nissan should have a discount on this faulty transmissions that they knew had issues. No warning lamps or messages given; symptoms were found when taken in at 117,000 miles and stated transmission needs to be replaced. Warning lamps and signals should have been given to owner to prevent the damage done to transmission. Warning lamps do not show anything wrong with vehicle; however, the jolting, jumping and sputtering is very dangerous during driving and may cause accidents in braking, acceleration and/or heavy traffic flow.

Complete shutdown of the vehicle while driving down the road. Caused me to go into a ditch. The vehicles lights flashed and then it just shut off. Had the alternator replaced twice also the battery replaced twice and now the nissan dealership has said they don't know what's wrong with it.

No warning lamps or error codes given on instrument cluster While driving normally the car suddenly would not accelerate almost causing an accident while turning left. The car was driven home on idle. This Happened 2 weeks prior and the battery was replaced to rule out problem and it worked fine for 2 weeks fine. The same problem occurred again and will not accelerate. This is a major safety hazard and I-??m looking into legal action for negligence and non helpful Nissan corporation

When driving, many times while going uphill, the car starts to jerk if I press the gas it jerks more. I have to let go of the gas and then press to go fast for it to stop. At times, it has caused for other cars to rear end or for me to go into another car. The jerkin is becoming a safety hazard for me and I-??ve only had the car since July. This is my first Nissan ever and would have never imagined to experience such issues.

A component is draining my battery. 7/21 New battery installed by Dealer. I'm told that the alternator is good. 7/28 adjustment on brake/starter switch"?" Dealer wasn't clear. Said problem was fixed. 8/4 returned the SUV back to local dealer. Now I'm told that the Tow Bar was pulling 4 amps of energy and draining the battery, and that I should return the vehicle back to the place of purchased to have repaired. Our 2015 was purchase brand new with the Tow Bar as part of the accessary package. I have a Nissan Security Plus Extended Warranty. The Tech suggested that the Tow Bar may not have been Factory Installed. In the interim, I have been without transportation for 8 days.

Brake lights will stay on even when car is parked and not occupied.Skid control coms on when driving and engine power is reduced or in lymph node. Car can be put in drive without depressing the brake switch. Ok Nissan says this is not on recall by vin # but there is an active recall on this model now. Sounds like a good lawsuit to me.Thanks and hope you can help.

For over 6 months my vehicle has been sputtering off and on. Just recently, when cranking it up, it would blow out white smoke and sputter even worse. We bought it in March 2020 knowing it was sputtering but the dealership claimed to have fixed it. Now it's with Nissan where it's been for almost 2 weeks. They're stating that the transmission and engine has to be replaced. They also stated that these vehicles are notorious for these issues. I've also found numerous complaints online about these particular year and make/ model vehicles having the same issues. If this really is an issue, it needs to be addressed!

Electrical engine cooling fan failure assembly. Loud grinding noise on driver side fan which is an assembly of two fans in one unit. Widely available information on web points to wheel bearing failure inside the fan.

- Painesville, OH, USA

The car suddenly started stalling on the highway and would not accelerate and stuck at the same speed. The check engine light came on. This happened a few times where the car would stall and the acceleration would not work on local roads as well as the interstate thus considerably slowing the speed of the traffic upon getting it inspected at the dealership, they found the crankshaft sensor was faulty.

My car has less than 28000 miles and I had to have a new transmission.

- Brandon, FL, USA

Noticed that a loud clacking/clunking noise was coming from the front of the hood when I pulled into garage. Noise seemed to only be apparent when A/C turned on. Brought car to dealer and it was determined that the cooling fan was defective. Seems like this is a very common problem that Nissan refuses to address. The Nissan Pathfinder needs to be recalled and have the cooling systems replaced.

Noise coming from the front of the vehicle from fan assembly as A/C is put on. Noise goes away as climate control is turned off. Reading multiple forum this seems to be a common problem on Nissan Pathfinder (2013-2017). Oem part cost $513 and replacement at dealer for vehicles that are out of warranty cost $1000 or more. Something needs to be done about this by the manufacturer to resolve the issue. Replacing fan assembly is not trivial for consumers.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the front of the vehicle while driving. The vehicle was taken to lynnes Nissan city (318 bloomfield ave, bloomfield, NJ 07003), where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the cooling fan needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 47,400.

Load clunking behind radiator on passenger (rh) side. Fault tree analysis revealed issue with the radiator fan blade assy. Fan blade mechanical structure/bearing failure

- Fairview Heights, IL, USA

Whenever I turned on the A/C or heater, there was a strange noise coming from under the hood. I noticed it when I was stationary at a stop light. I turned off the A/C which the noise went away. I took it to Firestone to get it checked out, and was told that the coolant fan and shroud was going bad; therefore, it would cost approximately $1,100 to replace. I was told that if it kept kicking on that it could eventually break off and hit the radiator which would do more damage. I called dealership close to where I work, and asked about it. I was informed that he replaced more than a couple of them this past year, and told me he could take care of it for approximately $900. After getting home, I did some research which seems that it has been a common problem with Nissan Pathfinders made between 2013-2017. It seems Nissan is well aware of the problem; however, no recall has been issued for this. Today, I called Nissan Consumer Affairs about this issue which she suggested I file a complaint with the NHTSA. Again, it seems Nissan is well aware of the issue; however, they are not taking the steps to address the situation. It's costing consumers additional money for their mistake. I've attached documentation that I had it replaced. Also, I attached just one of the websites that I came across that addresses my concern.

- Bridge City, LA, USA

My 2015, is at 54K miles and it starting make noise and had it checked it's the cooling system. This should be a recall. My friend has a 2017 and she having the same issues. I'm very disappointed with Nissan.
