Pathfinder

  • 45,000 miles
For the second time while driving my Pathfinder my car simply shuts itself off. It won't move at all. This has happened once going up a hill in December of 2017, and yesterday whole on a busy road. Luckily I was not rear ended. After about 20 minutes my car started normal and ran fine on the way home. If I was on a highway which I normally drive I would have been hit as there are no warning signs before it does this. I have brought it to the dealership and they can't get the car to show a code. My safety and the safety of others is at an all time high in this automobile.

Pathfinder

  • 4,500 miles
On February 10, 2018, we brought home a new puppy. We wanted to calm our current pet down so I went inside my house to let him out to use the restroom and calm him for the introduction. It was a cold night so my 7-year-old daughter and husband were in the backseat unbuckled with the heater on. Nobody was in the front seat at the time. The car was running and I had the key in my pocket in our house. About 7 minutes later I heard a crash. In my mind, I figured my husband was moving things in our garage but when I went outside, the car had accelerated up my driveway and into my garage. It crashed into my freezer, and if the freezer had not been in the way it would have crashed into my house. Nissan flew an engineer down from tennesee and he ran a report on his computer and found no fault. I asked if they knew why it happened and if they took the vehicle apart to look for cause and they said: "no, we were not looking for why only if the computer showed an error." I asked for the report and they stated that the report was proprietary and refused to release it to me. It seems odd that they would not release the report if Nissan is not at fault.
