problem #5

Pathfinder

  • 51,000 miles
Our Nissan Pathfinder 2016 was suddenly making loud noise which was coming from the front (engine area). The dealer diagnosed that replacement of fan shroud is necessary and that's expensive. We send car for regular maintenance, what else we can do!! the miles on my car is above 50000 and that's when I came across this problem. I have never had this kind of problem in any of my cars so far. This is something to do from the manufacturing side.

Pathfinder

  • 48,800 miles
At 48,800 miles radiator fan failed. As was explained to me by service advisor at Nissan dealer, a mounting part failed and caused the fan to rub against the shroud when in operation. Many reports of failure on various websites for model years 2014 -2016, most occurring in the 50,000 mile range.

I drove up to 16,000 miles and then the engine suddenly made a weird sound. I went to 2 Nissan dealerships to check it out and it said it was normal for 2016 Pathfinder.but while driving sometimes it will cause a humming noise like a bee and its really annoying, I went to check it out and it said it was normal, what do I do now?

problem #1

Pathfinder

  • 43,000 miles
The radiator fan and shroud assembly and I cannot find replacement parts at any dealer, auto parts store nor junk yard due to so many people needing these parts replaced. I was told they are on backorder and dont know when they will have replacement parts. I was told by a certified mechanic that the car could overheat and stall if these parts are not replaced.
