While driving our pathfinder in stop and go traffic, I've started to notice and feel a juddering & jerking motion coming from the transmission/powertrain every time I depress or press on the gas pedal at between speeds of 15 to 40 MPH. I plan to report this to nissan along with a couple more issues like the crackling sound coming from the front suspension usually after reversing back out of a driveway then moving forward while slightly turning the wheel back to a straight position. Could be a bearing issue, racking pinion or possibly the brake issues that have been recalled. I will also report the constant announce of a crackling sound coming from the wood paneling around stereo and air condition controls. Last but not least the scary & visible shaking of the front hood while driving at speeds of over 80mph. This violently shaking from the hood will certainly let you know that if you go any faster chances are the hood will fly off or cause serious damage to the vehicle or possibly cause an accident. There is no doubt in my mind that this is issue is clearly an aero dynamic flaw. How can they not have been aware of this possible serious safety issue ?
2015 Nissan Pathfinder body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When traveling on the freeway at speeds above 55pmh. The hood begins to shake/flutter ad it seems the hood is about to open. Other friends/relatives with the same vehicle made in 2015 or 2014 have the same issue. The dealer state dit needs to be adjusted but after doing so, the same occurs. I have had to take my vehicle tot he dealer numerous times with no positive result. Florida turnpike is a 70 MPH speed limit and it is very scary as the hood shake even more at that speed.
