2015 Nissan Pathfinder Complaint Log

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE FROM AUTOMATION NISSAN DALLAS THE TRANSMISSION , CVT, FAILED AT 2300 MILES. THERE WAS NO HEAVY USE ON THE TRANSMISSION. WE HAVE NOT EVEN TOWED WITH IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING BEYOND FIX THIS LEMON. PICKED UP VEHICLE, 9/17/15 AND ON THE MORNING OF 9/18/15 THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. WE DID NOT FUEL THE VEHICLE OR OPEN THE FUEL CAP 9/18/15 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE DEALER.

EVERY TIME I TRY DRIVE FROM STOP CAR KEEEP JERKING FOR FEW MINUTES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE KEYLESS ON/OFF IGNITION BUTTON AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700.

WE WERE DRIVING THE PATHFINDER AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER'S WEIGHT IS 165 POUNDS AND APPROXIMATELY 5'6" TALL. THE LIGHT REMAINED ON FOR APPROXIMATELY4 MINUTES AND ONLY WENT OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS OFF - AS IT SHOULD BE. THIS IS THE SECOND NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. OUR 2013 PATHFINDER WAS RE-PURCHASED BY NISSAN FOR THIS EXACT REASON....UPDATED 12/07/15 *BF *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SPUTTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,015.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN AN OCCUPANT WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLES ON THE LOT WOULD HAVE THE ISSUE REMEDIED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS) AND THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WERE AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS NOT OFFERED ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,500. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

POTENTIALLY FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM OR DOWNSHIFT CVT OR SIMULATED GEARSHIFT SYSTEM. DETAILS: WHEN DRIVING IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC WITH THE BRAKES PARTIALLY APPLIED, THE VEHICLE TENDS TO MOMENTARILY ACCELERATE AND SPEED UP. CONCURRENTLY THE RESISTANCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TENDS TO DECREASE, ALONG WITH A VISIBLE DOWN-AND-THEN-BACK-UP JUMPING OF RPM NEEDLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDS TO BE KEPT PRESSED TO ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP (NEW VEHICLE, WITH ONLY 300 MILES), THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THE PROBLEM I HAD BEEN EXPLAINING. THE TECHNICIAN AGREED TO SPEAK WITH THE ENGINEER THE NEXT DAY. HOWEVER, NEXT DAY THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH AS ISSUE, AND IT MAY BE SIMPLY THE DOWN-SHIFT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THIS IS UNUSUAL IN COMPARISON TO ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE DRIVEN. ACCELERATION OF THE CAR DURING THE BRAKING CYCLE IS CLEARLY ODD. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN OR SLOW TRAFFIC ZONES NEAR SCHOOLS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

DRIVING DOWN ON FLORIDA HIGHWAY I-75 . AHEAD WAS A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT WITH DEBRIS IN THE ROAD. REDUCED SPEED TO TRY TO AVOID MOST OF THE DEBRIS THAT WAS SCATTERED ALONG THE 4 LANES. I HAPPEN TO GET A PIECE OF DEBRIS IMPACTING FRONT TIRE AND HAVING IT GO UNDERNEATH MY CAR. AS THIS OCCURRED THE ECU MUST HAVE SOMEHOW DETECTED A SIDE COLLISION BUT THERE WAS NONE THAT OCCURRED AND DEPLOYED ALL SIDE AIRBAGS REMOVING MOST OF THE HEADLINER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 5-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 750.

UNSAFE CONDITION, THIS IS THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE! NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION. DISREGARDING COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB. THE CAR DROPS OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND LOOSES UP TO 20MPH. WE FEEL UNSAFE WHEN TOWING A LOAD! THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. NISSAN MADE SOME CHANGES AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING BUT IT STILL IS UNSAFE.

RE ALL IS NOT FIXED IN MY CAR NISSAN NEVER FIX THIS RECALL

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (OR EQUIVALENT WITH WIND), THE HOOD SHAKES LIKE IT IS BEING LIFTED BY THE WIND. IT SEEMS TO SHAKE/VIBRATE BETWEEN THE LATCH AND THE BUMPERS. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND THEY ARE INFORMED ME THIS IS "NORMAL" AND THEY HAVE ADJUSTED THE LATCH AND BUMPERS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE SHAKING AND I AM WORRIED THAT OVER TIME THE LATCH WILL BREAK AND THE HOOD WILL OPEN. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THIS IS LIKELY VERY DANGEROUS.

Purchased my vehicle new not long after (less than 200 miles) I started having a jerking (which felt to be in the transmission) at the speed of 20-25 mph. I literally would have to let up off the fuel to make it stop. Give it fuel again making sure I go past the 20-25 mph (which isn't good in school zones) I have had it to the Nissan Dealer 3x for this problem and was told that "Nothing" showed up on the Diagnostic Test. I haven't taken it back since. I was approached by an individual who owned a 2012 Pathfinder and he asked me if I had any problem with my car at the speed of 20-25mph? I said yes and what a conversation we had. My car currently has 27,775 actual miles, I'm to nervous to drive it on a long distance from home! With the jerking and I know it has something to do with the transmission (overhauled motors back in the day) there's No Way I'm going to be left stranded. It's quite a shame really I spent all that money (paid in full) and I'm unable to use my car for a long trip due to fear of becoming stranded because of a Manu. BooBoo

I HAD SLOWED TO ENTER A PARKING LOT AND AS I TURNED I HEARD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS SOMETHING RATTLING IN THE BACK STORAGE AREA. MY WIFE TURNED TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND SAW THAT THE ENTIRE UPPER REAR GLASS MOON ROOF HAD SHATTERED INTO SMALL PIECES. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT TO LOOK AT IT AND THE FRONT PORTION LOOKED AS IF PRESSURE HAD PUSHED THE GLASS UP FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. AROUND THE AREA THAT APPEARED TO HAVE HAD THE MOST PRESSURE, THE GLASS HAD A HOLE WITH SMALL PIECES FALLING INTO THE REAR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE REST OF THE MOON ROOF WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED BUT STAYED INTACT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE MOON ROOF. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY AND THE DISTRICT MANAGER HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN INCIDENT, BUT REPLACED THE GLASS ROOF. I DIDN'T REALIZE OTHER CARS WERE HAVING THIS ISSUE UNTIL I SAW A REPORT ON TV, SO I WANTED TO ADD MY EXPERIENCE TO THE ISSUE.

I TURNED ON HIGHWAY 277 TOWARDS SAN ANGELO 5 MIN ON HIGHWAY TIRE PRESSURE CAME ON SAYING LOW TIRE WHICH WAS STRANGE IT HAD NEVER DONE THIS THEN ANOTHER 5 MIN I LOOKED IN MIRROR AND I SAW AIR COMING OUT AT THAT MOMENT I KNEW MY TIRE BLEW OUT I WAS ON THE RIM RIGHT AWAY . I HAD TO PULL OVER GET KIDS OUT FOR SAFETY AND I PUT ON MY SPARE FOR NOW. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON ALL THE TIME WHEN A PASSENGER IN SITTING THERE. WENT TO NISSAN AND FIRST TIME SAID IT WAS MY BLADDER AND ADJUSTED IT. CALLED NISSAN HOTLINE BECAUSE RECALL SAID TO STOP DRIVING THE CAR AND NISSAN SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT THAT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT YET AND WOULD NOTIFY US WHEN THERE WAS A FIX.BEEN DOING THIS SINCE IT WAS NEW AND KNOW HAVE BEEN DOING IT ALMOST DAILY ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS AND ALL SPEEDS.
