Pathfinder

  • 28,464 miles
I purchased my Nissan in August of 2018. It only had a little over 23K miles. On 12/22/2018 I took my vehicle to baron Nissan where I purchased it and advised that the vehicle would not accel when speed was below 20 miles per hour. If I attempted to slow down and then begin to accel again the vehicle would not move. It just rolls as I press the gas pedal many times. Then all of a sudden the vehicle would begin to accel. The dealer advised the stop lamp switch needed to be replaced and it was covered under warranty. I left with the vehicle and then two days later I began to have the same issue again. It is random and you never can tell when it's going to happen. This is very dangerous when attempting to get on a highway or making a left turn and the car doesn't accelerate. Car went back to baron Nissan on 12/29/2018. The vehicle was checked, driven personally by service manager and I was told they could not find an error code stating what the problem could be. Now I have reviewed this site and see 3 other owners are having the same problem. Now I have recorded my car slip light being on more than on one occasion, my brake lights stay on even when the vehicle is off and I begin to feel the same problem with the vehicle not accelerating. Im trying to teach my son how to drive and car would not accel as he was making a left turn. This problem is a very serious safety issue and Nissan needs to get a perminant fix immediately. At this time my vehicle has only 29K miles and I will be reporting problem to Nissan corporate

Ongoing issue for three years! please help! cruise control drops out while towing. We almost got hit by an 18 wheeler driving down the road! I had my grandson with me!! the problem I have is unresolved. After numerous attempts and messages to contact charlotte at 6157257808 over the course of at least three-four weeks, I have resolved the fact that Nissan does not care about my issue. Hence I will be contacting the BBB to get this matter resolved to my satisfaction. I am in the market for a new car and it will not be Nissan.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving 25 mph, the accelerator pedal was applied, but failed to respond. The vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken three times to a local dealer (sandy sansing Nissan, 5705 pensacola blvd, pensacola, fl 32505), but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 57,353.

  • 25,000 miles
While towing under the capacity of the vehicle tow specification, the vehicle dropped out of cruise control (set at 65 mph). This caused an unexpected slowdown of almost 20 mph and my family and I feared getting hit at that speed (45 in a 65 when people are driving at 75 or more). Nissan technicians witnessed this happen.
