There was a clacking noise coming from under my hood. After researching what this could be, it appeared to be the fan cooling system. The local dealer told my husband that this seemed to be a problem with many of the Nissan Pathfinders stating that it seemed several of the fans would "go out". also, my windshield washer fluid does not work. I'm not sure how/why this would go out; as all of the electrical components inside of the vehicle still work.

We've owned our 2017 Pathfinder for 27 months, and since day 1 my wife who is under 5' 1' has complained that the driver's side mirror is blocking her view when turning. She can't naturally see what's on the left side without adjusting her position. The smaller murano has a smaller mirror size seems like a better design and I wish could be retrofitted for the Pathfinder. It would help if the seat could go higher, which we've found adding a seat cushion helps. But generally this is a potentially dangerous design that could result in an accident.

The driver side mirrors are extremely high on the frame to safely see when turning at an intersection. It blocks the view of the driver greatly. I consider this a hazard. It is a huge obstruction of view, because the driver cannot possible have a clear view of incoming traffic specially when making a turn or pedestrians. This has cause an accident while driving it at an intersection and damage on the vehicle, I was driving. The mirrors in my opinion are consider a design problem and it must be fix before it can cause more accidents and disgrace someones life.

I recently bought a 2017 Pathfinder. I have owned Nissan products for many many years and appreciate the quality and safety. However, my Pathfinder has what really could be a fatal flaw in that the side mirrors, especially the drivers side are too high on the frame to safely see when turning.. it is a serious problem and a definite safety hazard. It is a large obstruction of view and could be corrected by placing the mirrors lower on the fame. This is not something that should be taken lightly, it could cost lives and vehicle damage and could be corrected in future design. I would like to hear back on this issue and see if you have any suggestions. [xxx] 'information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
