Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired per the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 16v244000, 13v069000 and 15v681000 (air bags) and 14v138000 (electrical system, air bags) at nissan of huntington (850 e jericho turnpike, huntington station, ny 11746, (631) 533-4888). The dealer reprogrammed the air bag module control unit, but did not replace the sensors. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer six times for the same failure, which was never performed satisfactorily. The contact had to pay to repair both the sensor and module. The contact stated that the vehicle was in the process of being repaired again. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided case number: 37582283. The failure mileage was unknown.
My gear shift no longer works and I have been putting a screwdriver in to manually override it for over a year. Yesterday, I put the car in reverse and the brake wouldn't engage. I took my foot off and put it back on the brake and again the car continued to roll. I put it in park and restarted and it worked fine. I have read this may have to do with a brake light switch and this is also related to the shifting problem, but nissan says there is no recall. I was putting up with the gear shift as I didn't think it was a safety risk but I definitely could have had an accident backing out of the parking space yesterday.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. While the vehicle was stationary and while driving various speeds, the vehicle experienced several failures since march of 2017. The contact stated that the rear brake light failed to illuminate properly when the brakes were applied, the vehicle vibrated and shook violently on several occasions, the passenger side air bag occupant detection indicator failed to illuminate. Furthermore, the contact reported that the increased stopping distance related sensor and the ABS wheel sensor failed. In addition, the contact expressed concern that the power windows independently rolled up and down, the back-up camera disabled and rotated in the reverse position, and the key fob sensor intermittently failed to perform as intended. An independent mechanic replaced the throttle body position sensor, but the failure recurred. Baytown nissan (5445 I-10, baytown, texas 77521, (281) 394-1995) was made aware of the failures. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided case number: 33384799. In addition, the manufacturer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The failure mileage was 68,000.
I bought a brand new 2013 nissan pathfinder in march of 2013. Within 6 months I noticed there was jerking with the transmission. I took it back to preston nissan in maryland and was told they had received a bulletin and the transmission needed to be reprogrammed. They reprogrammed the transmission and it helped a little but a few months later it was doing the same thing. I took it back to preston nissan. There I was told that they could not duplicate the problem and that they would reprogram it again. It did not help. I could not afford to keep taking it back, because they charge me every time to keep telling me there was nothing wrong. My car began to not accelerate when I was making a turn or when I was accelerating in traffic. We took it back to preston and we were told that they had put a device in to monitor the transmission as well as reprogrammed it again. My car continued to judder and shake and fail to accelerate. There was a class action lawsuit filed and nissan extended the warranties to 84,000 miles. My car is now at 87,000 and a nissan dealership in michigan is now stating that it needs a new transmission and a cooling fan. Nissan corporate office is now telling me that they will pay 90% of the fan and only 50% of the transmission. I bought the extended warranty when I purchased the car. The transmission is not the only thing wrong with this car. It has been one thing after the other. Door lock motor, visor, hood release, trunk latch, brake lights remain on when car is off, airbag indicator...the list goes on and on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. When the contact started the vehicle by using the remote start feature, the vehicle doors automatically locked while idling. The contact stated that the failure occurred during extreme heat. During the failure, a child occupant was secured in the vehicle and the contact was unable to unlock the vehicle. The fire department was contacted and was able to manually wedge the door open. The contact discovered that 60 seconds after the remote start was initiated, the vehicle locked itself as a security measure. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 65,401.
We recently replaced the transmission under warranty and now the vehicle will not shift from park. The override from the brake pedal to the transmission does not function. Don't know if this is a solenoid or mechanical issue. Dealership says replace mechanism and see if this $1000 fix corrects situation
Sun visor keeps falling into line of vision while driving causing a danger hazard. Also, electrical system had short-circuit wires.
My air bag light for passenger 2 and the red flashing air bag light stays on. No matter if a person is in or out the seat. Even a 125 pound person.
Hi,I received the safety recall 16v‑244 so when I went to niissan ancira san antonio texas with safety recall notice so they said we will ccall you back but 45days still no contact or call from dealer,also I define some detals,when I bought nissan pathfinder 2013 in january 2016 so seller(leif johnson superstore)to me defected vehicle &in april 2016 vehicle suddenly dead
While driving on september 219th, 2016, the airbag indicator light started flashing for under a minute, and then the entire dashboard cluster panel went out. The tachometer, speedometer, gas gauge, driver safety information, lighting and breaks , gear mode, seat belt indicator, engine temperature gauge all went blank as the car was driving straight down a street approximately 45 miles an hour. I pulled the car off of the road to a safe place. Shut it down, and started it again normally. The entire instrument panel has yet to come back on. I was able to get the SUV home, and called some local dealerships to get it in to service. While waiting for a call back, I was able to research, and found that the vehicle is under two recalls, 16v‑244 for occs system, and 16v‑380 for stop lamp switch.. I was able to get the car to royal nissan in baton rouge, louisiana (225) 924-0400 on the 20th of september, 2016. I informed them of the recalls, and they said that they would look into the mater. On the september 21th, service advisor (kenney) called me and said that they did not yet know how to fix the problem, but the car was three years old, and out of warranty and I would have to pay for the repairs myself because they were probably not related to the recalls. That is where it stands.as of september 21st, 2016. I do not think that I am being unreasonable when I think that there is a connection to the flashing indicator lights, and the dashboard going out at the same time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. While driving 60 MPH, the vehicle lost power and stalled. The check engine indicator illuminated and the vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. The gear shifter failed to move out of park and the steering wheel seized. The contact waited five minutes and was able to resume driving. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brakes and battery failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The dealer stated that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. In addition, the rear door failed to open. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.
I am driving my 2013 pathfinder and from time to time, on the highway or local roads, even at take off I press the accelerator and nothing happens. The revs do not rise, the truck does not accelerate. I can put the accelerator to the floor and still nothing. It happens roughly once every time I drive it. I let go the accelerator and press it again and it is back to normal. The truck is warm every time it happens, so I cant say it is because I am driving the engine cold.
I was on a trip to the store, all of a sudden my pathfinder acted as if it had no power when I was getting ready to get going from a stoplight. This same thing occurred several more times throughout the drive. On one occasion my family and I were put into an unsafe situation. As I was trying to make a turn in an intersection my pathfinder had no power and almost caused me to be hit by oncoming traffic. Another issue is with the brake lights wouldn't go off once I got to a stopping point. They stay on and don't go off without the fuse for the stop light being pulled.
A few things have been happening with my 2013 nissan pathfinder. I bought this vehicle brand new feb 2013 and the issues stared right away. The one thing that has been happening is the car feels like it's going to stall. I will be driving down the road or on the highway and it feels like it is in neutral all of the sudden. I will press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and nothing. When turning into traffic or just turning period, it does the same thing. It is very scary. I have 2 young children and this is very dangerous. I have reported the problem numerous times to the dealership who claims they fixed the problem or did not notice any problems I was describing. It seems to be getting worse as the vehicle ages. Just the other day I was driving on the highway when not only was I experiencing this happening while driving 75 MPH but my cruise control wouldn't engage (I thought maybe this would help keep the car at the right speed) but it wouldn't turn on . Then the ABS & vdc lights turned on. When I got home I turned the car off and turned it back on and the lights were no longer on. Next time I tried the cruise control it worked. Another thing that has been happening is my brake lights will stay on when the car is turned off, not every time but many times and there have been times I didn't catch it. Just this morning my battery was dead and the battery is only a few months old. I'm thinking these lights stayed on all night. Before trying to jump-start my battery, with the vehicle off, there was a clicking sound coming from the far right of the engine. We were able to jump start my car and it has been working fine today so far but I have an appointment at the dealer, yet again, for these issues.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled, while driving at 60 MPH. In addition, the vehicle rpms increased to six and seven.

My 2013 pathfinder studders like it's not getting gas. It has completely stalled while driving in busy traffic. I took it to the dealership which stated they could not get it to duplicate the problem. This can happen on inclines and when I got to stop or slow down then go to accelerate against it studders really bad. It sometimes will not start due to not recognizing the key fob.
I was driving my car into a gravel driveway, I braked on the pavement to make my turn, turning into the gravel driveway, when I pressed on the brake pedal to slow the car, I had absolutely no brakes. The car would not stop. I had to quickly turn the car to avoid hitting another vehicle and a building, and had to slam the transmission into park to get the vehicle to stop. I contacted the dealership, advised them of the issue, as they were over an hour away, they sent someone with a trailer to come pick up the car. During this time, I also advised them of the passenger airbag light coming on while I had a passenger in the seat, stating that the airbag was off. My passenger was my teenage son, weighing over 120 lbs. I also had my husband in the seat, over 250 lbs, the light still came on. Nissan stated this was all due to a computer issue, they provided me with a loaner car as I was without my car for over 1 week. They even tried to sell me the loaner car, this should tell a person something right?? I have had weather stripping come off my car while I am driving, around the driver side roof, paint is peeling on the rear bumper, sometimes the car won't recognize my key fob to start, stating incorrect key id. The car stalls, hesitates, smokes, transmission "jerks", like it wants to give up, the AC does not blow cold air, sometimes its even warm. I will not let anyone drive my car for fear that it will stall out or not stop. Sometimes, when you press the gas pedal, the car will not move, or it hesitates to move. I have another recall to have repaired, the hood latch...with the dealership over an hour away, working full time, they only repair recalls during the week, how am I supposed to have it fixed, when the hood latch fails and I wreck? Seriously, recall the vehicle, it has so many safety recalls, its just not safe.
The light on the passenger side would not go off, and engine would be surging and the car would shake, even if the car was on cruse control mode and specially going up hill. We took it to a dealer twice and they said there was no problem- "could not diagnose the problem. They "updated the software" to no avail. They send us to the company and they did not do anything.
Turning into parking space at mcdonalds. Foot on brakes, shift lever in drive, engine speed at idle. A bright red flashing "emergency" light appeared inside the speedometer ring at the nine o'clock position. Simultaneously accompanied by a complete brake failure. This light is not mentioned in the operators manual. Vehicle was taken to the port charlotte fl dealer and checked out perfectly. Their maintenance supervisor knew nothing about this light--it is not in their maintenance manual. I have three eye witnesses inside the car at the time. A large SUV with no brakes! What could possibly go wrong?

When the car is full of passengers the transmission starts to miss shift causing a vibration. Feels unsafe when carrying passengers. Also vehicles backup camera is starting to act up. The video is screen has lines through it and sometimes the backup alarms deactivate.

While in the course of normal highway driving, the radio continues to change channels, completely umprompted. It will not switch to a new preset, it will adjust up or down on the dial. For example, if I have the radio on 94.9, it would adjust on its own to 95.3. This is happening more and more frequently.
Bought this vehicle advertised as "new" however started having multiple issues within the first few days. The fuel gauge would read "0" miles regardless of how much the fuel tank was filled, and the transmission started slipping the 4th day. I would be driving along at anywhere from 30-55 MPH when this would happen. Took it back to the original dealer for repair, who refused to put it in the shop and check it out, so I took it to another dealer who said that they were unable to reproduce the defects in the shop. I took it back multiple times for the same issues and they ended up putting more mileage on the vehicle than I did in the first 3 weeks with continuous "inability to reproduce results," however, as soon as I would leave the shop to go home the transmission would slip and the car would decelerate almost to a stop and then lunge again when it would kick back in. The fuel guage continued to read zero at fill ups, very frustrating. I called nissan consumer affairs with no real progress. The dealer refused repair printoffs as well, so I really don't know what they did to the vehicle while it was in the shop.
Passenger airbag light came on with a occupant in the seat, person weight 120 lb, and the car was reprogram before with a recall notice, issue still the same, happened some times, and I have to stop the car and turn it off and restart and the light turn off, this is an issue needs to be resolve do to a safety issue.
When I put my car in reverse the backup camera have static lines and the image start rolling up and down happened some times not always, I took the car to service and they didn't replaced because it was working fine, I even took a video and give this to the service representative and he told me that he needs to see in person and it was no recall on this equipment.
