Alternator failed, Broken Tensioner, Catalytic converters bad, Engine misfiring, Brake failure. Discovered odometer disclosure is incorrect and VIN is wrong on the inspection certification. Odometers to the best of my knowledge only move forward, not backward unless they are tampered with or the information presented is fraudulent. I could have nearly been injured fatally, when the car stopped on three separate occasions and ultimately the brakes failed. I had the car less than 1 month in my possession and out of approximately 30 days, it did not run consecutively for 7 days. This information was turned into the Virginia State Police - Office of Inspections; however, they found no fault, but this is a clear misrepresentation of vehicle identification and mileage.

2014 nissan pathfinder. Consumer writes in regard to brake failure while driving. *as the consumer stated while driving the emergency brake light illuminated while driving. The consumer crashed into a fence in order to stop the vehicle.
I was driving on a highway at highway speeds when my overdrive off button turned off the overdrive without it being pushed, my vehicles RPM's went up to between 6000 and 6500 when I pushed the button on the shifter it re-engaged but the RPM's where at a constant 3500-4500 and then I lost all acceleration and the pedal went to the floor but the RPM's stayed at about 4000. I needed to coast to the shoulder of the highway. I was towed to a nearby dealer and I'm waiting for them to inform me of what the issue is.
2014 nissan pathfinder. Attorney writes on behalf of client in regards to brake failure. *tgw the consumer stated he came upon a deer in the road. In response, he attempted to engage his brakes; however, the braking system failed and/or delayed stopping the vehicle after he applied the brake pedal, resulting in an impact between the vehicle and the deer. Upon investigation, it was discovered nissan had substantial issues with the braking system in certain nissan pathfinder's, including the consumers vehicle, at the time of the accident, which lead to recall # 13v445000.
We were stopped in traffic on the downhill portion of a city street when we were hit from behind by a nissan pickup traveling at approximately 30 miles per hour. We were approximately 10-12 feet behind the car in front of us as we'd stopped early due to wishing to leave room to move up in case of imminent impact (we could see the vehicle come fast and not slowing enough). My foot was on the brake and we were not moving at the time. The impact disengaged our brakes (my foot was still on the pedal and it was fully depressed). We hit the car in front of us at an angle and continued to roll forward for approximately 100 yards with no way of stopping. After pumping the pedal a few times the brakes once again engaged and I was able to stop the vehicle. I had the brakes checked the previous week by the nissan dealership I had purchased the vehicle from and they advised me there were no issues with the brakes. I feel that the brakes failed on this vehicle based on my past experiences in similar rear end collisions and have grave concerns about a defect.
