2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM CARMAX AND WAS SENT TO NISSAN FOR A RESET. NO ISSUE WAS FOUND AT THAT TIME. THE CAR IS SHUTTERING AND STALLING OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING FULL SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE/FREEWAY AS WELL AS OTHER BUSY ROADS LEAVING MYSELF AND MY CHILD STRANDED AND IN NEAR ACCIDENTS. NISSAN REFUSES TO HELP WITH THIS PART. IT SHOULD 100% BE A RECALL. INSTEAD, NISSAN ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT AND EXPIRED TWO WEEKS, JULY 31, 2020 BEFORE I CONTACTED NISSAN WITH THE WORSENING ISSUE. THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE MY CAR HAD 98,000 MILES INSTEAD OF 80,000/ I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOUR YEARS, I AM FINANCIALLY STRUGGLING BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, AND MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT NISSAN'S FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS. PLEASE HELP!!!!! THIS STARTED AGAIN TWO WEEKS INTO AUGUST WHEN I INITIALLY CONTACTED NISSAN. THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN UNDIAGNOSED TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THESE SHOULD BE REPLACED AS RECALLS OR DEEMED LEMONS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NOVEMBER OF 2016.

LAI T ON MY HOOD IS PEELING OFF AND IM GETTI G NO HELP FROM NKSSAN. I WAS TOLD BY A BODY SHOP TO TAKE IT IN BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE IT LO G AND ITS A NISSAN ISSUE. I TRIED TO USE TOUCH UP PAINT BUT ITS STILL PEELING ALONG THE FEONT OF THE HOOD I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES AS WELL.

VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING, AND EVEN WITH FULL GAS PEDAL DOESN'T PICKUP SPEED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING AND PRONE TO CAUSING ACCIDENT OR DEATH RISK. THE DEALER COULDN'T TRACE THE ISSUE AFTER PERFORMING STANDARD DIAGNOSTICS. THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING VERY FREQUENTLY, WITH NO REMEDIATION OR RESOLUTION BY DEALERS. THIS SAME VEHICLE HAS BRAKELIGHT ISSUES. THE BRAKELIGHTS STAY EVEN THOUGH NO BRAKES ARE IN USE AND/OR VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATION HAS TO BE PRESSED FRUSTRATING NUMBER OF TIMES BEFORE THEY TURN-OFF. THIS ISSUE MAY POTENTIALLY CAUSE ON-ROAD ACCIDENT RISK OR DRAIN THE BATTERY. THERE IS NO ERROR MESSAGE NOR DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAYED IN TEH VEHICLE.

THROUGH INTERNET SEARCH SOME 2013-2017 NISSAN PATHFINDERS PASSENGER AIRBAGS HAVE A RECALL ISSUED. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN MOTOR CORP. IT WAS EXPLAINED RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC. I REQUESTED AN EXPLANATION OF THE PROCESS NISSAN USES TO DETERMINE WHAT VIN APPLY, WHAT DEPARTMENT WOULD BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN, WHY WOULD THE DEALER NEED TO ANSWER THE WHY AND HOW'S NISSAN DETERMINES WHAT VIN APPLY. THE NISSAN REP IN SHORT EXPLAINED, HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS. THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE HAS EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. THIS MATTER SHOULD IN NO WAY REFLECT ON THE DEALER. NISSAN AS A THREE STEP REPAIR PLAN FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IF THE VIN WASN'T LISTED ON THE RECALL. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THE REPAIR CAN COST UP TO $2500.00-$3000.00. IT APPEARS THE AIRBAG ISSUE MUST HAVE BEEN MISSED ON MY VIN. BASED ON NISSAN PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPAIR BULLETIN IT CAN TAKE UP TO 3 TRIPS WITH THE COST INCREASING EACH TIME. IN MY OPINION, IF SOME 2013-2017 PATHFINDER PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE RECALLED THERE MUST BE AN ISSUE. WITH THAT SAID, ANYONE WHO'S VIN WASN'T ORIGINALLY LISTED SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL.

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING PASSENGER SEAT WITH OR WITHOUT SOMEONE SITTING IN THE AREA.

UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS TILL IT GETS TO 40. HAPPENS AT EVERY LIGHT. HAVE TO KEEP PUSHING THE PEDAL TO TRY TO AVOID IT. AT OTHER TIMES IT STILL SHUDDERS ANYWAYS. SOMETIMES WHEN PUT IN D OR R IT WON'T RESPOND TO PEDAL AND WILL BASICALLY COAST IF AT AN ANGLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS COMING TO A STOP OR WHILE IDLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE TO INCH FORWARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL FAILED TO RETURN TO THE CORRECT POSITION. THE CONTACT CONTACTED A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY 09/07/2020 ON MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MILES AN HOUR ON A RURAL EMPTY ROAD WHEN THE SUNROOF MADE A POP SOUND AND EXPLODED. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW A LARGE SHEET OF GLASS HIT THE ROAD AND DISINTEGRATE. WHEN I OPENED THE COVER FOR THE SUNROOF MOST OF THE GLASS WAS GONE. THE PIECES AROUND THE FRAME THAT REMAINED WERE SHATTERED. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD, THE HOOD FLEW UP AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. I COULD NOT SEE IN FRONT OF ME AT ALL. THE HOOD RIPPED THROUGH THE FENDERS BY THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 35 MILES PER HOUR AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED.
