Complete engine failure while driving on highway putting the safety of my family(including 2 young kids) at risk. We were able maneuver to the side of the road. We were stranded on side of highway in a very rural area at night with no power(no hazard lights, or heat) for a while. Car towed to Nissan dealership, who stated a new engine is needed. Paper work is available. For history, a new timing belt was installed in Fall 2023, but no issues since (no warnings, messages or problems).

I have had so many problems with my vehicle. I have spend so much on auto repair. Latest one I took in to a local mechanic and he diagnosed it with transmission issue with a timer. It-??s hard to go from 30 to 40mph. He also looked it up and said there-??s a recall. I called my local Nissan dealer and was told my vehicle is not under the recall. Every dealers being asking me if I have transmission issues and I finally said yes trying to trade my vehicle. They mentioned Nissan has transmission issues.

- Copperas Cove, TX, USA

According to the dealership the engine has sludge and unrepairable

- Orlando, FL, USA

While driving at a speed of 60mph on the highway my pathfinder lost all power and became had to control as my car came to a complete stop causing me to be stuck in between to merging highways with traffic on each side. I was given no warning this was about to happen and it could have cost me my life. My car had to be picked up and towed I would assume it-??s my transmission or my engine it is the 3rd. I could not accelerate or shift at all despite having NO warning lights on until I turned it off to save my battery and make my self able to keep my lights and flashers on without causing anymore damage to my car which has already had a complete engine, diffrential, and transfcase, radiator, and tan blades replaced multiple times at just 2 years old but was out of mileage so Nissan wouldn-??t honor them. Well I assumed with Nissans suite winces they know it-??s their transmissions they would cover everyone-??s since this is on going however they didn-??t and only covered to mileage to my surprise.

The radiator fan is failing at 62k miles. Researching online it was found that this is a common occurrence for 2017 Nissan Pathfinders between 20k and 80k miles. Fan failure could lead to overheating and eventually fire. Vehicle was taken into the dealership for a knocking/rattling noise coming from under the hood. There were no check engine lights or warning lamps to indicate an issue. The dealership has to order a complete new assembly and motor, which is an extensive repair as well.

- Port Orange , FL, USA

Began hearing a rapid patterned running at first, which quickly developed into a shaking that could be felt in the steering wheel. Determined that it only happened while the heating and ventilation system was active. Opened the hood, no signs of obstructions, does look like the fan blades of the radiator are loose and hitting the shroud. Given the need for heat to defrost windows as well as safetly operate in the winter with children in the car, it is unsafe to use the vehicle until this mater can be resolved, as without the radiator fans the engine could overheat as well. Will be looking to have the part replaced asap, as the vehicle is needed for livelihood, and with as many people have reported this issue, surprised there has yet to be a recall to address this, as it seems to be the same issue, with others having bearings going out causing a similar issue.

Radiator cooling fan died at only 47,141 miles. Cost is $978. Absolutely horrible this is not covered under warranty, especially considering it is a very common problem. First and last Nissan I will ever buy.

- Virginia Beach, VA, USA

When turn on heater, defroster or air conditioner vehicle makes a terrible noise. It's a grinding noise. Further checking it is determined it's the radiator pulley wobbling and hitting against something. By checking this vehicle a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder has multiple complaints about this. So I contacted dealership due to vehicle still being under warranty and they said no matter what to check it you have to pay a 147 dollar diagnostic check first. I explained this is a serious problem with this make and model and I prefer if you can tell me if this is covered by my expensive extended warranty. I was placed on hold for awhile and eventually sent to a voicemail where I left a message. No return calls yet.
