Car started to shutter, doing 55 mph and stop pulling..all lights were flashing then shut down, was able to coast into some business parking lot. Had to get towed to shop where was told needed alternator, replaced that and replaced battery…car would start but put in gear and same thing happened shut down and didn’t get but a couple of miles from shop..still no fix. Contacted a Nissan dealership was told maybe transmission. Told no recalls, which it should be.

CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. JUDDERING, LOST SPRRD DOWNSHIFT JERKS. GOING 70 ON HIGHWAY IT LOST SPEED JERKED ME AROUND LIKE I AM GETTING HIT. COULDN'T EVEN GO UP RAMP ON HIGHWAY. Its hard to believe that NHTSA dose not have a ban on these vehicals. There are many complaints and Nissan letters within Nissan that have been issued out to dealships ect. no to mention the law suits. NHTSA would be the first i would think to post and force these off of the road. Insted people like me are just forced to junk them and write them off. or spend your life savings on trans replacement.

While driving on the parkway several times for traveling to work, my car would suddenly and violently shudder and drop speed much lower than the posted speed limit. My RPMs would race from 1.5 to 5 but no increase in speed when the accelerator was pushed. I had to put my emergency 4 way lights on and drive in the far right lane. Nissan dealership kept saying the vehicle was working fine when I complained about it. I took it in for service at least twice, nothing found. Then when my whole family was with me, the car shuddered violently, and would not respond at all with the accelator pedal and was unresponsive and the brakes difficult to engage and hard to steer. I had to glide into the shoulder to make a full stop. Then the engine would not turn off. All I could do was put my emergency flashers on and put the windows down for air. I had to call for help. My husband then tried the next day to drive my vehicle to the Nissan dealership, but again, the vehicle broke down and had to be towed. Nissan then finally diagnosed the problems as needing transmission replacement. Since it is a hybrid 2014 Nissan Pathfinder with less than 84,000 miles and over 7 years old I would need to buy a new transmission for over $14,000. My milage is under 73,500, but my vehicle is 9 years old. So my mileage is acceptable, but the age of the vehicle disqualifies me, because both parameters must be met for warranty to be effective. I already spent $1400 for a new air compressor system less than 3 months earlier for the same vehicle. I had no heat and no air conditioner.

1/6/23-Car turned off on me before entering the highway, luckily I was still in the street. Took it to the Nissan dealership and they stated the car was done for and gave me a trade in value of $1500. This car was purchased sometime in July 2022. Now The dealership of Nissan is quoting me $8K to fix the battery. Also charging a high diagnostic fee. Don’t think it’s fair their selling cars like these to people where they know the battery is expensive.

June 2021 I brought my 2014 Nissan Pathfinder in for routine maintenance. I was informed there was a recall for the 'Brake Switch'. I had not received notice for this recall but east Charlotte Nissan insisted it get done. Until this date I had NO problems with this vehicle. Right after the recall was done I was driving thru a round-a-bout, tapped the brakes and then had NO Acceleration. There was a semi-truck on my bumper and I had no where to go. I immediately brought the vehicle back to EC and they insisted it was my transmission. They said they found no issues and charged me for work that was not necessary. I continued to brake down 4 more times pulling my trailer from NC to ME. Two incidents were on I81N. I had semi-trucks all around me. Panicked!! I had the vehicle into 4 different dealers, 6 different times. They could not fix the issue. I asked Berlin City Nissan to at least replace the recall parts. They did. My vehicle totally broke down this time, again going thru a round-a-bout. Every light on the dash was flashing. I had no control of the vehicle but was able to roll onto the sidewalk. I was too afraid to drive this vehicle any further. I called a tow truck. Several dealers explained they had seen this already and thought they could repair. None Could. Marc Motors sent that vehicle off to auction, as is!!! I have nightmares of some mom breaking down with her kids in the car. I have filed complaints with Nissan, 10 different departments. Nissan Corporate is telling me the NHTSA is responsible for the Nightmare Nissan has caused me and have 'brushed me off'. I am now in a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder and have identified 3 different issues with the vehicle. One of which is very dangerous. Not sure where to go next. I have all the documentation to back up my claim. Can you help?

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER HYBRID WHICH YOU SHOULD NOTIFY OTHER CUSTOMERS OF AS WELL. THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR IS USED TO COOL THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY SYSTEM AND HOLD OFF BATTERY FAILURE. THERE ARE NO SENSORS OR FEEDBACK MONITORING OF THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR TO CONFIRM IT IS OPERATIONAL. THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR OF MY PATHFINDER HAS DIED 3 TIMES WITHOUT ISSUING EITHER A SERVICE CODE OR ANY INDICATION OF A SYSTEM FAILURE. THIS HAS THEN LED TO THE DEATH OF THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY PACK. THE FIRST FAILURE HAPPENED IN 2016 AT 37,000 MILES AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE A MODULUS OF ROUGHLY 35,000 BETWEEN DEATHS AND SHOULD BE PRO-ACTIVELY REPLACED BY THE OWNER TO PREVENT THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY FROM HAVING TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY INDICATION TO THE USER THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG IS THAT THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE LANE UNTIL A POLICE VEHICLE ARRIVED. THE NEXT TIME WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN I WAS ON SIDE STREETS WHERE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN UNLIT ROAD, WITH THE BATTERY DYING COMPLETELY AFTER AN HOUR WHILE WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. THE LAST ROUND HAPPENED 3 WEEKS AGO (ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON THANKFULLY WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT POSSIBILITY) - THE CAR WENT INTO THE SHOP AND THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT NOT THE REAR BLOWER (AS THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE FAILURE). I GOT THE CAR BACK FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS BEFORE THE CAR DIED AGAIN WITH THE SAME ERROR - AT WHICH POINT THE TECHNICIANS IDENTIFIED THE REAR BLOWER DIED (AGAIN). YOU SHOULD NOTIFY OTHER CUSTOMERS OF THIS 5 YEAR OLD PRODUCT OF THE DESIGN DEFECT AND THE NEED TO CHECK THE BLOWER FAN REGULARLY TO ENSURE THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY HAS A LONG LIFE.

I HAD 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND PASSED WITH NO ISSUES IN JUNE 2019. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT, I DROVE ALL MORNING WITH NO TYPE OF INCIDENTS. MY NIECE, WHO LIVES ON A HILL WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND I PICKED HER THAT MORNING FROM HER HOUSE. SHE HAD TO RETURNED TO HER HOUSE LATER THAT MORNING FOR AN ITEM SO I DROVE BACK UP THE HILL, WAITED FOR HER IN HER DRIVEWAY, LEFT HER HOUSE AND AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HILL I REALIZED THAT MY BRAKES WAS NOT FUNCTIONING, MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD TURNED ON. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WASN'T WORKING AND I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR. I KEPT PRESSING MY BRAKES AND NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. IT JUST KEPT GOING! AT THAT POINT, I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE THE BEST PLACE TO CRASH. I CAME DOWN THE HILL CROSSED OVER ONE OF THE MAIN ROADS AND STEERED MY CAR INTO A FENCE AND WE HIT A TREE. ALL OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I WAS GRATEFUL THAT BOTH MY NIECE AND I HAD NO MAJOR INJURIES. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAD NO ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES IN THE PAST! I DID FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SOFTWARE IN THE 2013 AND 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDERS MODEL-YEARS AND THERE WAS A RECALL. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN 2014 HOWEVER I NEVER GOT A RECALL NOTICE. I ALSO HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICE AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND BRAKE SOFTWARE FAILURES WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED TO ME. SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG WITH MY BRAKES OR THE SOFTWARE THAT DAY.

THE COMPUTER IN MY 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER CONTINUED TO PRESENT DIFFICULTIES. THESE MALFUNCTIONS WERE DOCUMENTED WITH NISSAN AND THE COMPUTER WAS IN FACT REPLACED. WE WERE IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH NISSAN TO WARRANTY THE COMPUTER WITH THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. ON APRIL 1, 2016 MY WIFE STARTED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WENT INSIDE TO LET IT WARM UP. WHEN SHE WENT OUT (APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER) THE VEHICLE WAS GONE. IT HAD SLIPPED INTO DRIVE ON ITS OWN AND GONE STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE WOODS, TAKING OUT TWO TREES AND HITTING A TELEPHONE POLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NISSAN'S FINDING WERE THAT THE BLACK BOX WITHIN THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHOW ANYTHING AND, THEREFORE, THEY WERE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. WE HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE DIFFICULTIES WITH THE VEHICLE LEADING UP THE COLLISION.

THE VEHICLE MAKES A HIGH PITCH NOISE WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED OR IN PARK. THIS NOISE WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN TEST DRIVING THE CAR AND APPARENTLY ONLY BEGINS TO MANIFEST ITSELF AFTER HAVING BEEN DRIVEN A FEW WEEKS OR MONTHS. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AS IT IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 ALTIMA WHICH ALSO USES THE NEW ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING UNIT. NISSAN OFFERS NO REAL SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT AND DEEMS THE NOISE TO BE "ACCEPTABLE" BY NO ONES DEFINITION BUT THEIR OWN. NISSAN'S SOLUTION THUS FAR IS TO WRAP THE TUBES IN TAPE TO DAMPEN THE NOISE.
