2015 Nissan Pathfinder Complaint Log

POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE PAST YEAR MODELS NISSAN CVT ISSUES. 2015 PATHFINDER WITH LESS THAN 10K MILES UNDER 2 YEARS OLD TRANSMISSION FAILURE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 KIDS (4 YEAR, 2 YEAR, AND 1 MONTH OLD) WHEN THE VEHICLE STOP ACCELERATING. SHE WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER SAFETY. WHEN SHE TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN IT WAS IN DRIVE MODE OR LOW GEAR. THE VEHICLE HOWEVER DID MOVE IN REVERSE. MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF A FAST MOVING HIGHWAY, WITHOUT ME, UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE WORK, AN HOUR AWAY, TO GET TO THEIR LOCATION AND SAFETY GET ALL THE KIDS AND MY WIFE TO A SAFER LOCATION. TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE ISSUES MAY STEM FROM THE SAME ISSUE IN PREVIOUS MODEL PATHFINDERS AND OTHER VEHICLE MODELS WITH NISSAN'S CVT IN THEM. LESS THAN 10K MILES ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. UNDER 2 YEARS IN AGE AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILS. MAKES ME RETHINK IF I WANT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE KNOWING MY FAMILY WILL MAINLY BE DRIVING IN IT WITHOUT ME THERE. *TR

VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW 3/2016, LESS THAN 15,000 MILES (HWY). 12/1/2016 WHILE DRIVING ON HWY, REAR PASSENGER TIRE SIDEWALL SHREDDED AND MACERATED. SINCE BUYING CAR, HAVE HAD FREQUENT "LOW PRESSURE" READINGS ON ALL TIRES RANDOMLY WITHOUT ANY DEFINITE CAUSE THAT MECHANICS NOTED (TIRES WERE NOT REMOVED). THE 1 TIRE WAS REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE. THE CAR DEALERSHIP (NISSAN) AND TIRE MANUFACTURER (CONTINENTAL) EACH DEFER RESPONSIBILITY TO OTHER. THERE ARE MULTIPLE SIMILAR STORIES EASILY FOUND ONLINE WITH THESE TIRES. WHILE THIS PARTICULAR ONE APPARENTLY DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL, PERHAPS IT SHOULD BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT LX SPORT *TR

DRIVER SIDE VISOR DOES NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY OR STAY IN PLACE WHEN OPENED. WHEN OPENED TO BLOCK SUN, IT DOESN'T STAY IN POSITION AND BLOCKS SOME VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD INFRONT. DOES THIS WEATHER VEHICLE IS ON OR OFF.

I HAVE RECEIVED 2 NOTICES CONCERNING THE NHTSA RECALL 16V-244. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN OF GADSDEN IN GADSDEN, AL SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK TO FIX MY VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK IT STARTED JERKING AND THEN IT JUST STOPPED. AND IT WON'T START BACK UP

THIS PERTAINS TO 16V244000... WITH THE EXCEPTION OF STARTING THE VEHICLE, I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS LIGHT COME ON UNTIL RECENTLY. MY PATHFINDER IS LARGELY USED TO MOVE MY CHILDREN (BOTH UNDER THE AGE OF 4) TO AND FROM ACTIVITIES AND RUN ERRANDS. 90% OF THE TIME I AM DRIVING THERE IS NO ONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. MY WIFE RIDES UPFRONT FOR FAMILY ROAD TRIPS AND ON THE WEEKENDS. IT WAS JUST RECENTLY THAT THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE SHE WAS IN THE SEAT ALERTING ME TO THE FAULTY SENSOR. I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DID HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL AND COULD FIX THE ISSUE THAT WEEK. I TOOK THE CAR AND WAITED PATIENTLY. UPON EXITING THE SERVICE CENTER AND GETTING READY TO TURN ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT WAS ON... FIGURING SOMEONE HAD FORGOTTEN TO RESET SOMETHING I TURNED AROUND AND RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE I WAS ADVISED THAT, FROM NOW ON, MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON UNLESS SOMEONE OVER 50LBS WAS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS SHOCKED AND COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE TECH BUT WAS INFORMED THAT NISSAN HAD DECIDED THAT CARS WITH THIS ISSUE WOULD HAVE A PERMANENTLY DISENGAGED PASSENGER AIRBAG IF THE SEAT WAS NOT OCCUPIED. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT, RATHER THAN FIXING THIS ISSUE CORRECTLY WITH THE SAME BUT FUNCTIONING OEM PARTS, NISSAN HAS DECIDED TO IMPLEMENT A RECALL FIX THAT SAVES THEM TIME AND MONEY. I TRIED GETTING ACCUSTOMED TO THIS WARNING LIGHT BUT IT IS THE SAME COLOR AS MY BLIND SPOT WARNING ALERTS SO SEEING IT MY PERIPHERAL VISION IS A CONSTANT DISTRACTION. I BELIEVE THAT THE FIX OFFERED WILL ULTIMATELY MAKE DRIVERS AMBIVALENT TO THE BLIND SPOT SYSTEM AND LEAD TO A HIGHER COLLISION RATE. *TR

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V344000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE TOWING UNDER THE CAPACITY OF THE VEHICLE TOW SPECIFICATION, THE VEHICLE DROPPED OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL (SET AT 65 MPH). THIS CAUSED AN UNEXPECTED SLOWDOWN OF ALMOST 20 MPH AND MY FAMILY AND I FEARED GETTING HIT AT THAT SPEED (45 IN A 65 WHEN PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AT 75 OR MORE). NISSAN TECHNICIANS WITNESSED THIS HAPPEN.

WHEN DRIVING AND PUSHING THE GAS THE CAR WILL NOT GO, IT SEEMS IT GETS STUCK AND THE CAR JUST DOESNT MOVE, AFTER PUSHING THE GAS HARD A FEW TIMES AND SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC THE CAR THEN GOES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY FIXED IT BY REPLACING A PART. AFTER MAYBE 1000 MILES LATER IT STARTS DOING IT AGAIN. TAKE IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND THIS WAS AT 59K WHICH HAD ME MAD AS THE WARRANTY WOULD BE EXPIRING SOON AND THE DEALER SAYS TO BAD WE WILL BE AT FAULT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS HAPPENS ON A STREET. AND IS VERY SCARY WHEN PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF CARS AND THEN THE CAR WONT GO.

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY AIR BAG SENSOR EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT THE AIR BAG WOULD DEACTIVATE. ORIGINALLY THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT MY PURSE MUST BE TO HEAVY AND IS KNOCKING OUT THE CALIBRATION. THE SECOND TIME I GOT A LESSON ON HOW TO SIT IN THE SEAT PROPERLY. FINALLY, NISSAN ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND ANNOUNCED THE RECALL. SINCE IT WAS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY THE DEALER PUT ME ON THE TOP OF THE LIST TO CALL WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE PARTS. SATURDAY I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THE AIR BAG OCS SENSOR RECALL REPAIR. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR UP AFTER THE SERVICE I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYED ON CONTINUOUSLY. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL "AFTER PLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION, THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES. THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF AFTER ABOUT 7 SECONDS IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATIONAL". I WENT BACK INSIDE AND MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE FIX THAT NISSAN IMPLEMENTED. THE WARNING LIGHT IS NOW ON CONSTANTLY UNLESS SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT AND GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING IN THE NISSAN MANUAL. ADDITIONALLY, HAVING A WARNING LIGHT ON AT NIGHT IN THE VEHICLE IS A DISTRACTION.

MY WIFE AND I LEFT OUR HOME AND DROVE OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER INTO THE CITY ON 27TH STREET GOING INTO MILWAUKEE, AND OUR SUN ROOF EXPLODED, SHOWING GLASS SHARDS DOWN ON US WITH NO WARNING, NO ROCKS, OR NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD TO BE SEEN ANYWHERE. OUR DEALER SAYS CALL YOUR INSURANCE. HOWEVER AFTER READING SEVERAL FORUMS, I SEE THE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER DRIVERS AND WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT. WHEN WE WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR, IT STILL HAD SHARDS OF GLASS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR AND GLASS WAS STILL LAYING ON THE EXTERIOR TOP OF THE CAR. WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE DEALER AND OUR INSURANCE COMPANY ON THEIR HANDLING OF THE INCIDENT.

I HAVE TO RECALL THAT SHOWS ON MY CAR FAX, BUT ONE RECALL HAVE TO PARTS TO REPLACE SINCE MAY 23,2016. HAVE ONLY RECEIVED 1 LETTER IN MAIL AFTER I CALL NISSAN 1800 NUMBER. THE SECOND HAPPEN TODAY FOR CO2 SENSOR. I CALL AND THERE ARE NO SOLUTION IN PLACE, I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND NOW I FEEL ITS A LEMON, THEY EVEN MADE ME REPLACE THE BRAKE FLUID DUE TO IT BEING BLACK, TOO EARLY FOR ME IF SUV IS NEW. I WANT TO KNOW IF LIVES ARE IN DANGER WHY CANT I GET IT REPLACE OR GET A LOANER??? AND WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO DO WITH DEFECTED MERCHANDISE BEING SOLD AT HIGH VALUE???

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS, THE SERVICE WAS DONE TO THE CAR BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS ON OCCURRING, BUT I HAVE TO TAKE IT AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME, IF THE PROBLEM ISN'T RESOLVED, WHAT CAN I DO ?

VEHICLE START BUTTON IS IN A UNSAFE LOCATION. KNEE KEEPS HITTING WHILE DRIVING AND CAR TURNS OFF. IT NEEDS A COVER OR SMARTER SWITCH SO THAT A ACCIDENTAL TOUCH CANT SHUT THE CAR OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT'S A SEVERE HAZARD!!!!!!

IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE ISSUE. AIRBAGS ARE A VERY BIG DEAL AND WANT TO KNOW HOW CAN I GET THIS FIXED ASAP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUR PATHFINDER IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I'VE STARTED TO NOTICE AND FEEL A JUDDERING & JERKING MOTION COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION/POWERTRAIN EVERY TIME I DEPRESS OR PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AT BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 15 TO 40 MPH. I PLAN TO REPORT THIS TO NISSAN ALONG WITH A COUPLE MORE ISSUES LIKE THE CRACKLING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION USUALLY AFTER REVERSING BACK OUT OF A DRIVEWAY THEN MOVING FORWARD WHILE SLIGHTLY TURNING THE WHEEL BACK TO A STRAIGHT POSITION. COULD BE A BEARING ISSUE, RACKING PINION OR POSSIBLY THE BRAKE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I WILL ALSO REPORT THE CONSTANT ANNOUNCE OF A CRACKLING SOUND COMING FROM THE WOOD PANELING AROUND STEREO AND AIR CONDITION CONTROLS. LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE SCARY & VISIBLE SHAKING OF THE FRONT HOOD WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF OVER 80MPH. THIS VIOLENTLY SHAKING FROM THE HOOD WILL CERTAINLY LET YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU GO ANY FASTER CHANCES ARE THE HOOD WILL FLY OFF OR CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS IS ISSUE IS CLEARLY AN AERO DYNAMIC FLAW. HOW CAN THEY NOT HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS POSSIBLE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ?

WHILE TAKING OFF FROM 0-20MPH THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND JERK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. BACK IN MAY 2016 AND THEY COULD NOT FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR. NOW IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND WE TOOK IT BACK ON 11/18/16 AND THE SERVICE DEPT. SAID THEY STILL CAN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT CHECK ENGINE CODE POPPING UP, SO THEY NEEDED PERMISSION TO HAVE A SERVICE TECH TAKE IT HOME TO SEE IF HE CAN SEE WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING AND WILL FOLLOW UP WITH US TOMORROW. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM STARTED BACK IN EARLY 2015 WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR, BUT IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN SO RARELY THAT I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT UNTIL MY WIFE WHO DRIVES IT EVERY DAY BROUGHT IT UP TO MY ATTENTION.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY, 2015. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES WHILE A PASSENGER WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT SHORTLY AFTER I GOT THE CAR. DURING MY FIRST ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT ON FEB. 1, 2016 I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE TECH AND THEY CHECKED BUT COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THEY PERFORMED A ZERO RESET AT THAT TIME. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ON 3/11, 4/9, AND 4/30 WHILE A PASSENGER OF PROPER WEIGHT AND HEIGHT WAS SEATING IN THE SEAT. ADDITIONALLY, ON 4/20 THE SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHT WAS LIT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND THE DRIVER WAS BUCKLED UP. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION TODAY, 5/7, FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THEY STATED THAT THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOW THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. I NOW DRIVE WITH MY CELLPHONE NEXT TO ME AND TAKE PICTURES EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS.

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE A FULL SIZE ADULT PASSENGER HAS BEEN RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT DETECT THE ADULT AND TURNS OFF THE AIRBAG. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND WHEN THE PASSENGER GETS IN, BEFORE THE CAR IS STARTED, ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED, THE AIRBAG IS ALREADY OFF BEFORE WE LEAVE. OTHER TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING THE AIR BAG WILL JUST TURN OFF. SOMETHING IS REMAINS ON FOR THE WHOLE TRIP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF ONCE WE REACH OUR DESTINATION, OTHER TIMES THE LIGHT WILL TURN OFF AND THE AIRBAG TURNS BACK ON BEFORE WE ARRIVE AT OUR DESTINATION. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD, YEA, THEY ARE REAL SENSITIVE AND IF THE LIGHT IS ACTIVATED THE AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF AND WILL NOT WORK. BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TODAY AND INSISTED THEY LOOK AT IT. SAID THEY WOULD DO A ZERO RESET ON THE SYSTEM AND SEE IF THAT WILL FIX IT. MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS APRIL 17, 2016. HAVE MORE PHOTOS FROM PAST INCIDENTS AS WELL.

TAKATA RECALL YOU PREVIOUS WEBPAGE MENTIONS THE MANUFACTURER ACQUIRING THE PARTS TO REPAIR IN A TIMELY MANNER. MY QUESTION IS, WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER A TIMELY MANNER? I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS OR MORE AGO, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ELSE REGARDING NISSAN REPAIRING THE FAULTY AIRBAGS. I'M GETTING MORE AND MORE CONCERNED DAILY ABOUT MY FAMILY'S OR MY SAFETY. WHEN IS NISSAN GOING TO GET OFF THEIR BEHINDS AND REPAIR OR REPLACE THE FAULTY AIRBAGS?

IT STARTED WITH THE DREADED HESITATING/JERKING THING I HAVE READ ABOUT NISSAN CVT TRANNYS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS A VALVE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, AND NOT THE TRANNY ITSELF. HOW IS A VALVE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION NOT BE A PART OF THE TRANSMISSION?!?! THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE IT AND IT WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS. THEY SAID IF IT MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IF AFTER REPAIR, IT CONTINUES, THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. I THOUGHT NISSAN ALREADY FIXED THIS CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE?

I WORKED WITH NISSAN LAST YEAR TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE THAT I HAD WITH A PATHFINDER AIRBAG ISSUE (NISSAN CASE 19556126). 'THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE WAS REPLACED AND I'VE HAD THE BAD LUCK OF GETTING A 2015 PATHFINDER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. 'I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE LATE NOVEMBER OF 2015, IT HAS APPROX. 3700 MILES ON IT AND IS ALREADY EXHIBITING ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. 'IT HAS BEEN IN 3 TIMES WITH DOCUMENT (VIDEOS) INSTANCES WHERE THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ON, WHILE DRIVING WITH A PERSON WEIGHING MORE THAN 100LBS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THESE ARE INTERMITTENT ISSUES. ONE TIME I DROVE WITH THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT ON FROM CLEVELAND TO RICHFIELD 'APPROX. 30 MILES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF IT IS NOT FIXED. 'IT STILL IS NOT RESOLVED. 'JOEL TANNER, HAS BEEN MY CONTACT AT AIRPORT NISSAN (440-884-7800) WHERE THE CAR CAME FROM AND HAS BEEN SERVICED. HE STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG. HOWEVER, I HAVE CLEARLY DOCUMENTED THE ISSUE WITH VIDEOS. 'DIKOTA, AT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS (615- 725-7590) TALKED WITH ME AND STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. 'THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN IN FOR ENGINE LIGHT ISSUES WHICH FOR THE TIME HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. 'IT IS ALSO EXHIBITING AN ISSUE WITH THE GPS WHERE ADDRESSES CAN'T BE FOUND WITH THE VEHICLE'S GPS BUT MY IPHONE CAN. I HAVE VIDEOS THAT CAN BE SENT BUT YOUR WEBSITE DOESN'T ACCEPT THEM - PLEASE PROVIDE A WAY TO SEND THEM TO YOU.

WE WERE DRIVING AT 35 MILES/HR ON A CITY STREET AND SUDDENLY OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED. WE HEARD A LOUD SOUND LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF AND WE WERE IN SHOCK AND SUDDENLY WE SAW GLASS SHATTERED ALL OVER ME MY SEATS AND WE WERE IN AWE. MY DAUGHTER AND WIFE WERE IN THE BACK AS WELL. WE HAD EYEWITNESS AS WELL WHO SAW THIS AND TURNED AROUND AND CAME BACK AND ASKED US WE WERE OK. THEN I CALLED THE SHERIFF AND THEY DOCUMENTED THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME A LOANER AND SAID WE WILL LOOK INTO THIS BY CONTACTING NISSAN ON MONDAY. WE AS A FAMILY ARE VERY SCARED TO GET BACK IN THE CAR.

OUR 2015 PATHFINDER HAS AN ISSUE WHERE WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT ACTIVATE. (INDICATOR LIGHT FOR PASS AIRBAG OFF IS ILLUMINATED) SOMETIMES IT WILL ACTIVATE AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF DRIVING, OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT ACTIVATE UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. ALSO, SOMETIMES IF THE SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL BE ACTIVATED. WE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE ISSUE DURING A SERVICE IN LATE 2015 AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER SHOULD WAIT TO ENTER THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THERE WASN'T ANY CHANGE REGARDLESS OF HOW WE ENTERED THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS IN EARLY 2016 AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY DIAGNOSTIC ISSUES. THEY "RESET" THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. TODAY WE DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT ACTIVATE AGAIN WITH A PASSENGER OCCUPYING THE SEAT. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON FEBRUARY 16, 2016, TRAVELING SOUTH WEST A STATE ROAD, AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE SUNROOF SHATTERED INTO MANY PIECES. THE GLASS SHARDS WERE NOT CONTAINED AND ENTERED THE VEHICLE, COLLAPSING ON BOTH DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS. THE DRIVER WAS TEMPORALLY INCAPACITATED AS THE GLASS FELL ON HER HEAD AND FACE. WHEN I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, THEY STATED STATED THAT THE SUNROOF OPERATED AS DESIGNED.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THERE CAN BE A LARGE ADULT IN THE SEAT, AND THE SENSOR SHOWS THE AIRBAG OFF. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, AS A DEMO, WITH APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONE TIME.

HAVE A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHERE THE "AIRBAG IS OFF" PASSENGER LIGHT KEEPS COMING ONE WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER WEIGHING MORE THAN 150 LBS IS PROPERLY SEATED WEARING THE SEATBELT PROPERLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES (10+ TIMES). I HAVE HAD IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER TWICE WITH THE MOST RECENT DATE BEING FEBRUARY 2, 2016 FOR THIS ISSUE. NISSAN DEALER RUNS TESTS BUT IS UNABLE TO FIND ISSUE. FILED COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN ON FEBRUARY 4TH AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I HAVE IT ON VIDEO WHERE I AM SITTING PROPERLY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH SEATBELT PROPERLY ON WITH THE CAR BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND THE "AIRBAG IS OFF" LIGHT IS ON. IT IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I WOULD HATE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT (WHICH INDICATES AIR BAG IS OFF AND WILL NOT DEPLOY) REMAINS ON (>50% OF THE TIME) WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. TOOK VEHICLE INTO THE NISSAN FOX DEALERSHIP (GRAND RAPIDS, MI) THIS MORNING FOR SERVICE. BEFORE ASSESSING, THEY TOLD ME THEY PROBABLY WON'T FIND ANYTHING AND THAT I SHOULD RELY ON MY SEAT BELT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS FIRST OCCURRED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO.

2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER ENVOLVED IN UNKNOWN ACCIDENT AIR BAG DEPLOYED, NISSAN REFUSES TO RESPOND , NUMERIOUS RECALLS, BELIEF CONCUSION OCCURRED NEED ASSISTANCE, STOPED PAYMENTS, COLLECTION HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ME , VIN ON PATHFINDER DOESN'T MATCH VEH, ASKED THEM ALSO TO PROVIDE DATE OF MFG NOT RECIEVED

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, MY NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE EITHER AT A STOP OR DURING NORMAL SPEED. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT STALL, BUT WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE ALMOST AT IDLE SPEED. THE SYMPTOM OF THE PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR A COUPLE OF TIME THEN THE SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD DISPLAY AND STAY ON UNTIL THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED, I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES DEMONSTRATING THE ISSUE AS DESCRIBED FOR WHEN THE INDICATOR SLIP LIGHT FOR THE LIMITED SLIP CONTROL WOULD DISPLAY IN CLEAR CONDITIONS. THIS WOULD OCCUR IN IDEAL WEATHER CONDITIONS AND ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND MY FOOT WAS DEFINITELY NOT ENGAGING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE. I COULD DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH NO IMPACT ON ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO FAILURE TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK IN THE VEHICLE INTO D-PATRICK NISSAN IN EVANSVILLE, INDIANA SEVERAL TIMES AND TO ANDY MOHR NISSAN, INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA. IN BOTH CASES, THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DETECT ANY ISSUES WITH CODE ERRORS OR REPLICATE THE ISSUE EVEN AFTER I PROVIDE PHOTO EVIDENCE OF THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING. THE FAILURE TO ACCELERATE IS SO RANDOM AND CAN HAPPEN SEVERAL DAYS IN ONE WEEK OR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN I KNOW IT WILL NOT CHANGE UNTIL I CAN SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE AND RESTART. SOME INSTANCES THE FAILURE TO ACCELERATE WOULD PERSIST BUT MOST OF THE TIME IS WOULD CORRECT ITSELF AFTER RESTARTING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH MY WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN IN IT. I FINALLY DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT AFTER I FOUND ANOTHER NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNER WHO WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH HIS NISSAN PATHFINDER.

WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 55PMH. THE HOOD BEGINS TO SHAKE/FLUTTER AD IT SEEMS THE HOOD IS ABOUT TO OPEN. OTHER FRIENDS/RELATIVES WITH THE SAME VEHICLE MADE IN 2015 OR 2014 HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALER STATE DIT NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED BUT AFTER DOING SO, THE SAME OCCURS. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TOT HE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT. FLORIDA TURNPIKE IS A 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT AND IT IS VERY SCARY AS THE HOOD SHAKE EVEN MORE AT THAT SPEED.

PURCHASED IN MAY 2015. WITHIN A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP, AIRBAG LIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTERMITTENTLY IF PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN CAR BEFORE STARTED. I JUST HAD THE PASSENGER WAIT UNTIL CAR WAS STARTED TO SIT. IN JULY THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE WHILE DRIVING INTERMITTENTLY WITH PASSENGER IN SEAT. SERVICED IT AT THE DEALERSHIP IN THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND A CODE AND CLEARED IT. PROBLEM SHOULD BE RESOLVED. IT HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES. SERVICED IT AT THE DEALER AGAIN IN JULY. MECHANIC PERFORMED A ZERO POINT OCS REPROGRAM. AGAIN I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE RESOLVED. PROBLEM CONTINUED. CHECKED IT IN FOR SERVICE IN OCTOBER. DEALER TRYING TO SAY THE PERSON IN THE SEAT IS TOO LIGHT. IT'S HAPPENED TO ADULTS THAT WEIGH OVER 150 AND MANY TIMES TO MY DAUGHTER WHO WEIGHS AT LEAST 110. THIS SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM ANYWAY SINCE THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THE MINIMUM WEIGHT IS 70 POUNDS FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. DEALER WANTS TO GIVE US THE CAR BACK. WE REFUSED BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE. WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE DEALER. THIS SAME DEALERSHIP TOOK BACK OUR 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE TOO! I HAVE MANY VIDEOS OF THE PROBLEM.

PURCHASED A 2015 PATHFINDER SL IN MAY 2015 TO REPLACE THE 2014 PATHFINDER SL WE HAD. THE DEALER RETURNED THE 2014 FOR US FOR THE SAME ISSUE WE'RE EXPERIENCING WITH THE 2015. IN LATE JUNE THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG WOULD NOT ENGAGE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START. OUR RESOLUTION WAS TO WAIT TO SIT IN THE SEAT UNTIL THE CAR WAS STARTED. THIS WORKED UNTIL THE END OF JULY WHEN THE AIR BAG WOULD DISENGAGE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO FOUND A CODE, CLEARED IT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED WITH MANY VIDEOS TO SHOW THE ISSUE. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER IN AUGUST. DEALER COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE BUT BECAUSE WE HAD VIDEOS, UNDERSTOOD THERE WAS A REAL ISSUE AND PERFORMED A "ZERO POINT OCS REPROGRAM" AND SERVICE TECH HOPED IT WOULD "DO THE TRICK". IT DIDN'T AND THE PROBLEM ESCALATED. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER IN SEPTEMBER AND CAR IS STILL THERE. DEALERSHIP AGAIN COULD NOT "RECREATE" THE ISSUE AND WANTED TO GIVE US THE CAR BACK. WE REFUSED BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. DEALER FINALLY AGREED TO GET NISSAN INVOLVED. STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK. WE ALSO CALLED NISSAN AND OPENED A CASE FILE AND WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM NISSAN TOO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH DOWN AN INCLINE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED DUE TO THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V012000 (SERVICE BRAKES). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD BE ASSIGNED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45....UPDATED 03/17/16 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BUT, NOT REPAIRED.*JS

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO SHOP BECAUSE OF SHUDDER IN TRANSMISSION AND HESITATION FROM STOP WHEN APPLYING ACCELERATOR. THE NISSAN DEALER INSTALLED A NEW VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION WHICH SEEMED TO STOP THE SHUDDER UNTIL TODAY WHEN IT HAS RETURNED. THE HESITATION FROM STOP PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED AND I RETURNED THE PATHFINDER A SECOND TIME TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT SINCE IT DID NOT THROW A CODE AND COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED IT WAS NOT FIXED. THE HESITATION PROBLEM IS AN ITERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE GAS IS FIRST APPLIED FOR A SECOND OR TWO. I HAVE ALMOST HAD TWO ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE WHEN GAS APPLIED. THE SHUDDER PROBLEM AS RETURNED AND CAN BE FELT AT AROUND 40MPH.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED WHEN A ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT WITH THEIR SEATBELT ON. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE SERVICE CENTER AT NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THE COMPUTER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO! I HAVE NUMEROUS VIDEOS OF THE SEAT OCCUPIED AND THE LIGHT ON!

JUDDER IS FOUND BETWEEN 20-25 MILES FOR MORE THAN 5 SECOND WHEN ACCELERATING SMOOTHLY. THE MECHANIC RECORDED THE JUDDER AND SENT IT TO THE ENGINEER. THE ENGINEER AT CORPORATE NISSAN TOLD US THAT IT IS A NORMAL THING BUT ANY CAR SHOULDN'T HAVE A JUDDER(ESPECIALLY 2015 NEWEST MODEL). A JUDDER ALSO SHOWS IN THE HIGH SPEED, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS SLOW SLEEP. A JUDDER ALSO APPEARS WHEN THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TO A STOP. I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IT UP FOR THEM TO FIX THE ISSUE. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE WHEN THERE IS A RECORD OF JUDDER BUT WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE CAR.

CVT TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AT LOW SPEED (20-40 MPH) WITH LIGHT THROTTLE APPLICATION. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 9/10/2015
