cvt transmission is the worse my vehicle stopped on me on the highway coming from miami to orlando no warning nothing just stopped, the vehicle goes faster than it actually says with my children the only direction it could go into is reverse late at night it was so scary. I know if I could change my vehicle I would for a vehicle without CVT Transmission it doesn't shift like normal which is shifting at each short line it races to 3 to 4 then goes down putting more where and tear than norm
2015 Nissan Pathfinder engine complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 75, newest first, as owners wrote them.
For over 6 months my vehicle has been sputtering off and on. Just recently, when cranking it up, it would blow out white smoke and sputter even worse. We bought it in march 2020 knowing it was sputtering but the dealership claimed to have fixed it. Now it's with nissan where it's been for almost 2 weeks. They're stating that the transmission and engine has to be replaced. They also stated that these vehicles are notorious for these issues. I've also found numerous complaints online about these particular year and make/ model vehicles having the same issues. If this really is an issue, it needs to be addressed!
There was a recall for a high pitch sound from the radiator. Well my car is doing this issue where the heat is on and it sounds horrible from that area. Could it not of been repaired like it stats? [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Electrical engine cooling fan failure assembly. Loud grinding noise on driver side fan which is an assembly of two fans in one unit. Widely available information on web points to wheel bearing failure inside the fan.
The car suddenly started stalling on the highway and would not accelerate and stuck at the same speed. The check engine light came on. This happened a few times where the car would stall and the acceleration would not work on local roads as well as the interstate thus considerably slowing the speed of the traffic upon getting it inspected at the dealership, they found the crankshaft sensor was faulty.
I just purchased this SUV used with 84000 mile within 24 hr the car starts to drive like I am running over speed bump like it's not pulling or something kind of hard to explain the gauges bounce back and forth when it happens it's trying to pick up speed but stalling it's clearly the CVT issue it happened on the highway and just riding through town it felt like it was losing power not wanting to the same speed I was at
The engine cooling fan part number 21481-3ja2e has failed twice in this vehicle. First time at 50,529 miles and again at 106,370
My car has less than 28000 miles and I had to have a new transmission.
Noticed that a loud clacking/clunking noise was coming from the front of the hood. Noise seemed to only be apparent when A/C is turned on. It seems that the cooling fan is defective.
Noticed that a loud clacking/clunking noise was coming from the front of the hood when I pulled into garage. Noise seemed to only be apparent when A/C turned on. Brought car to dealer and it was determined that the cooling fan was defective. Seems like this is a very common problem that nissan refuses to address. The nissan pathfinder needs to be recalled and have the cooling systems replaced.
Noise coming from the front of the vehicle from fan assembly as A/C is put on. Noise goes away as climate control is turned off. Reading multiple forum this seems to be a common problem on nissan pathfinder (2013-2017). Oem part cost $513 and replacement at dealer for vehicles that are out of warranty cost $1000 or more. Something needs to be done about this by the manufacturer to resolve the issue. Replacing fan assembly is not trivial for consumers.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated that there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the front of the vehicle while driving. The vehicle was taken to lynnes nissan city (318 bloomfield ave, bloomfield, nj 07003), where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the cooling fan needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 47,400.
Load clunking behind radiator on passenger (rh) side. Fault tree analysis revealed issue with the radiator fan blade assy. Fan blade mechanical structure/bearing failure
Whenever I turned on the A/C or heater, there was a strange noise coming from under the hood. I noticed it when I was stationary at a stop light. I turned off the A/C which the noise went away. I took it to firestone to get it checked out, and was told that the coolant fan and shroud was going bad; therefore, it would cost approximately $1,100 to replace. I was told that if it kept kicking on that it could eventually break off and hit the radiator which would do more damage. I called dealership close to where I work, and asked about it. I was informed that he replaced more than a couple of them this past year, and told me he could take care of it for approximately $900. After getting home, I did some research which seems that it has been a common problem with nissan pathfinders made between 2013-2017. It seems nissan is well aware of the problem; however, no recall has been issued for this. Today, I called nissan consumer affairs about this issue which she suggested I file a complaint with the federal safety agency. Again, it seems nissan is well aware of the issue; however, they are not taking the steps to address the situation. It's costing consumers additional money for their mistake. I've attached documentation that I had it replaced. Also, I attached just one of the websites that I came across that addresses my concern.
My 2015, is at 54k miles and it starting make noise and had it checked it's the cooling system. This should be a recall. My friend has a 2017 and she having the same issues. I'm very disappointed with nissan.
Radiator fan motor, seems to be common problem. Can hear bearings rattling in the fan motor.
Radiator fan (right side) no longer spinning smoothly, creating loud noise. Noise began suddenly at 4.5 years of age (65k miles), and was noticed during city driving and while stopped (engine running). Required replacement of "fan motor assembly" to correct.
2015 nissan pathfinder was purchase two months ago with only 48569 miles it's started making a loud ticking noise when AC and heat is on. Turn out fan is going out. Very annoying and the car is not that old. I heard there were recalled but for some reason the VIN says it has 0 recalls which I think is the makers fault. Need to fix and I will still have to pay out of pocket when I'm making payment on this vehicle. Very disappointed.
My 2015 nissan pathfinder was purchased in nov. 2018. It's been in the nissan shop numerous times since nov. We have issues with the transmission studdering/delayed acceleration. It cant be reproduced on demand so it's hard to diagnose. You have to let off the gas before it will go properly. Also, the cooling fan assembly has been replaced twice within 1 month with new parts . This 3rd time one of the fans will not continue to blow. I've read online that these 2 issues are very common with this vehicle. Disappointed doesn't even describe what I feel about this vehicle and having a dealership like gray daniels ford in ms treat us the way they have does not help with the issues.
I had my transmission flushed at approx. 52k miles on 2/23/2019. In april 2019, the transmission begin having issues. Rpms would ride high; however, transmission would not up-shift. Occurred despite accelerator pressed to the floor. When releasing the accelerator and pressing again, the transmission would jerk and begin to up-shift. Issue is intermittent. Can occur when taking off after stopping at an intersection, and suddenly when smoothly accelerating upon entering freeways. Having safety concerns, I took the vehicle to nissan and explained the issue as noted above on 5/8/2019. Despite telling josh kern the issue was the transmission, I later discovered he recorded the issue as "... The throttle wasn't responsive." he called saying the car was driven 60 miles and the issue was resolved by performing a "idle relearn" and "self learn" software update. Because of this, the vehicle now idled very high. After driving it a few days, the issue occurred again. Reviewing the service doc, I realized the vehicle was only driven 1 mile and not the 60 miles. It also had notes from the technician that "issue could not be duplicated." I returned to nissan to speak to the service manager, but he was not available. While there, I requested all hard-copies of work performed. On one page was written notes about erasing codes, mention of the trans., engine & iacv-aac, ECM on faded print-out of codes. Made other attempts to contact manager with no success. In aug.2019, the dealership gm put me in contact w steve zani (asst. Serv. Mgr.) he was very helpful, but was unable to duplicate issue. High idle from update seems to be masking issue frequency. Called niss con affairs-case36982668. Renee' was no help. Refused to update case or call dealership. Had my name wrong, elusive and short on phone. Worried issue not given proper credence; despite defect and safety concerns.
My vehicle is financed through nissan and I still have 10 months of the note left. I have recently been provided a diagnosis that my cooling fan assembly motor and bearings have failed and will need replacement. Many nissan pathfinder owners are posting similar issues with their cars. I have only approximately 68,000 miles on the car. Based on the number of complaints, there maybe an underlying problem with the part. I am provided a $1000 estimate to resolve this issue. I want you to take this complaint seriously and protect the vehicle owners.
I have a 2015 nissan pathfinder starting at 64000 miles I have taken the car in several times due to the heating and cooling system. Lately I have been having problems when I press on the accelerator the car doesn't want to go. In addition, it seems to hydroplane and jerk if the road is wet and you go over 40 miles per hour. This is so very dangerous!! Is this being addressed by nissan? I need someone to contact me for a fix.
Pathfinder recal. Car "shutters" and "stutters" when transitioning in between gears. Additionally, while in drive, entering a freeway on ramp, moving at approximately 30 MPH, the car wouldn't accelerate, it was as if it was in neutral. The car has 69,000 miles on it, and for the past year, at approximately 53,000 miles, it's been "stuttering and shuttering" while transitioning in between gears.
Cooling fan started making noises when AC or heat is at 58k. Sounds like the fan bearings are shot. I see multiple complaints on line for this. This problem should be resolved before the fan comes apart and takes out the radiator.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan pathfinder. While driving 10 MPH, the accelerator pedal was applied, but the vehicle failed to accelerate and stalled. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to nalley nissan of cumming (1310 buford hwy, cumming, ga 30041, (678) 648-7290) where it was diagnosed that the stop lamp switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 38,000.
2015 nissan pathfinder with 43,000 miles for the last 6 months vehicle has giving us problems accelerating after coming to a complete stop and while driving at normal speeds. I would start to accelerate after a complete stop and the pathfinder would only move at a slightly higher than idle speed until I put my foot on the brake and then once again on the accelerator pedal. Other times I will be driving at a speed above 20 miles per hour and the pathfinder will no longer accelerate past the current speed no matter how hard I press the accelerator until I tap the brake and then the accelerator. I also noticed that some times when one of these events happens, the slip light indicator will come on and stay on until the pathfinder is turned off and back on. This issue can happens randomly. This vehicle is used to transport my kids to school & almost got into a couple of accidents due to vehicle not accelerating fast enough. Wife will not drive vehicle due to safety concerns now.
Loss of power while in motion from a 35 MPH zone and went down to 20 MPH release gas pedal and regained power. I see the same issue reported other posts. Please investigate before the loss of life.
In the last several weeks, I am experiencing loss of acceleration for my nissan pathfinder 2015 (33,000 miles). For some reasons, there is no acceleration nor RPM increased when I floored the gas pedal for several seconds after releasing the gas pedal (coasting) due to traffic stops or want to make a turn or after full stop. The car was coasting around 20 MPH and didn't accelerate.
The car only has 22,000 miles and the center dual cooling fan has already started making a loud noise unfortunately as a 2015 these vehicles is out of warranty I have done research online and it seems that it's become a very common problem on these vehicle I don't understand why this has not being on recall yet multiple people are also complaining as they replace the part and it goes bad within months so it seems this is a engineering problem
Cooling fan on radiator vibrating when heat or AC turned on.
