2014 Nissan Pathfinder Brakes Problems

We took are vehicle in for AC service. At this time the dealer performed a recall fix for a break relay switch. After the supposed recall was corrected we had issues. The issues were loss of power after pressing and releasing brake. The other issue was having to make multiple attemps to start car. They happen at random moments after driving vehicle over 25 miles in city driving. The dealer claime and charged 2.5k dollars to replace a transfer transmission part. This was not the issue and we still lose power after braking. The main problem is we didn't have these issue until the dealer made the supposed repairs. There are no error codes for any issues with the vehicle. I don't think the recall procedure was completed or was not completed properly.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to respond immediately. The contact stated that the failure recurred on a raining day, causing the vehicle to glide. The air bag, traction control, and the ABS warning lights were illuminated.

The contact stated that the headlights and the interior lights were dim and would flicker intermittently. Additionally, the power train warning light illuminated intermittently. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE.

BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED.. ISSUE OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND AT REST, INCLUDING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS POWERED OFF. THE ISSUE HAS LED TO BATTERY DEPLETION. THE PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY WITH RELATIVE FREQUENCY (MULTIPLE TIMES PER MONTH. *TR

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAVING ISSUES. WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE PEDAL CONTINUES TO GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR. AM CURRENTLY HAVING IT FIXED BY A AUTO REPAIR COMPANY

After dealership replaced the stop lamp switch and brake pedal position switch, they came back in less than 20 miles to say that the noise from my brakes was from the master cylinder and brake booster. A bill of over $1600 in which I feel is in no way my responsibility but Nissan and dealership rejected my request for assistance. I was hoping that the recall resolved the noise and shifting issues I have been complaining about to two Nissan dealership for almost 2 years. All of my Nissan vehicle services have been completed by Nissan dealerships including oil changes, brakes pads and rotors, battery replacement amongst other devices/ parts. I am a loyal customer to Nissan but disappointed in their response to this bill.

2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. *AS THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONSUMER CRASHED INTO A FENCE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *JS

SOMETIMES MY PATHFINDER DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM TRYING TO DRIVE AFTER A STOP SIGN OR A RED LIGHT, BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL EVEN HAPPEN WHEN I'M TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. IT'S INTERMITTENT, SO IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME.

CAR SOMETIMES DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN MERGING OR AT A STOP LIGHT PRESS ACCELERATOR AND CAR DOES NOT MOVE HAVE ALMOST BEEN REARENDED A FEW TIMES DEALER SAID BRAKE LGHT SWITCH WAS FAULTY

DRIVING 25 MILES AN HOUR ON A TOWN ROAD ACCELERATING AND THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN EVEN IF I CONTINUE TO PUSH THE GAS PETAL. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN ALMOST COMPLETELY BEFORE I TAPPED THE BRAKES AND THEN THE CAR SHOT AND REVVED FORWARD WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PETAL. ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN AFTER THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. IT DOES LILE MULTIPLY TIMES A DAY AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON ELECTRIC RELAY FOR STICKING, MY CAR IS HOWEVER NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL. THIS BEGAN IN MARCH AND IS MAKING IT UNSAFE TO TURN LEFT IN FEAR OF THE CAR NOT ACCLERATING DURING ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

MY BRAKE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. IT CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL AS I WAS DRIVING, IT EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF AND DRAINED MY BATTERY. IT WAS REALLY SCARY. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. AS A RESULT THEY REPLACED MY SWITCH ASSY. STOP LAMP AND RELAY. I WAS REALLY UPSET TO PAY FOR A SERVICE THAT I DID NOT CAUSE. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL OUT FOR THE SAME MODEL, MAKE AND OF MY CAR I DID SHARE WITH THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE MY ISSUE.

BRAKE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINING ON/ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN BRAKE WAS NOT SUPPRESSED. BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHEN IN MOTION AS WELL AS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF. AS A RESULT, THERE IS NO WAY FOR ONE TO DETERMINE IF/WHEN THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. THIS ISSUE ALSO PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES CAUSE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISKS.

ABS BRAKING WENT ON AND STAYED ON , COMEPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN BRAKES FOR DISTANCE OF 100 FEET, CAUSING ME TO ROLL THROUGH STOP SIGN NARROWLY MISSING SEVERAL PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES.

PARKING LEVER .... DEPRESSED TO FLOOR, AND STILL, BRAKES DO NOT HOLD VEHICLE IN PLACE, BUT SLIDES ON INCLINE! ,,, ALSO THE TWO WINDSHIELD COLUMNS RIGHT AND LEFT, ARE TOO LARGER/WIDE, DECREASING VISIBILITY, AND ESTABLISHING A WIDER "BLIND SPOTS."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED FROM THE SCENE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE PASSENGER OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE FAILURE LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V012000 (SERVICE BRAKES); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX 50 MPH WITH 4-5 CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT ON ME HIT HIS BRAKES AT WHICH TIME I HIT MY BRAKES. MY BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND WHEN I HIT THEM SO I RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND HIT THE BRAKES AGAIN. WHEN I MADE IMPACT WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME I WAS STILL TRAVELING AT APPROX 35-40 MPH.

WE WERE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON THE DOWNHILL PORTION OF A CITY STREET WHEN WE WERE HIT FROM BEHIND BY A NISSAN PICKUP TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR. WE WERE APPROXIMATELY 10-12 FEET BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT OF US AS WE'D STOPPED EARLY DUE TO WISHING TO LEAVE ROOM TO MOVE UP IN CASE OF IMMINENT IMPACT (WE COULD SEE THE VEHICLE COME FAST AND NOT SLOWING ENOUGH). MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND WE WERE NOT MOVING AT THE TIME. THE IMPACT DISENGAGED OUR BRAKES (MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE PEDAL AND IT WAS FULLY DEPRESSED). WE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US AT AN ANGLE AND CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD FOR APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS WITH NO WAY OF STOPPING. AFTER PUMPING THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES THE BRAKES ONCE AGAIN ENGAGED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED THE PREVIOUS WEEK BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY ADVISED ME THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES. I FEEL THAT THE BRAKES FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE BASED ON MY PAST EXPERIENCES IN SIMILAR REAR END COLLISIONS AND HAVE GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT A DEFECT. *TR
