Vehicle started to overheat. Informed by mechanic that one of the 2 electric fans that pull air thru the radiator had gone bad. This also caused the A/C compressor to shut off causing the interior of the vehicle to reach over 100 degrees in less than 15 minutes while driving thru town on a 95+ degree day with the windows rolled down.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. While driving approximately 30 MPH, there was a loud abnormal noise coming from the engine compartment and the temperature gauge indicator illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and the engine began to overheat. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence and later taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the radiator fan motor assembly failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 57,212.

Vehicle juddering while traveling at low speed, it feels like it going to stall. Nissan is aware of the problem but they say they can't recreate. They called in to mossy nissan in national city, ca to test drive the car with the foreman of the shop, and the problem recurred, he felt it, but we didn't have the computer hook up to the car diagnostics. I took the car back in for the same thing, I left the car there for 2 days and hey said they couldn't duplicate it. Also it has a coolant leak that has not been fixed after 3 times. They smell it but can't find the problem.
