2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

I OWN A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND THE TRANSMISSION DIED LAST WEEK. I TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR IS $5,400. AFTER SOME DIGGING I DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR TRANSMISSION AND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY THEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE CVT TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES, HOWEVER OWNERS WERE NEVER INFORMED OF THIS RECALL/ CAMPAIGN SINCE ALL VEHICLES WOULD NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME MY TRANNY FAILED AT 125,000 MILES AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, ALTHOUGH ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES I OUTLINED ABOVE SHOWS' THEY DID NOT DO THEIR DO DILIGENCE TO INFORM AND FIX THE ISSUE AFTER THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FAULT. I'M SURE THEY WILL BE MANY MORE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES THAT WILL EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST WITH THIS WOULD A APPRECIATED.

TRANSFER CASE HAVE BEEN LEAKING STARTING ABOUT 45K MILES AND DIDN'T EVEN STOP AFTER NISSAN RESEALED IT. RECENTLY ABOUT 90K MILES STARTED TO MAKE WHINING NOISE THAT SEEM TO BE LESS NOISY AFTER 35MPH. THERE ALSO IS SCRATCHING NOISE ON SLOW DOWN. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY RECOMMENDED DRIVING THE CAR ON 2WD ONLY. REPLACEMENT IS OVER $4,500.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT ~ 30MPH, THE HOOD FLEW OPEN BENDING BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER FENDERS AND MANGLING THE SEALS. THE FORCE AT WHICH THE HOOD OPENED NEARLY BROKE THE WINDSHIELD AND DID NOT ALLOW FOR THE DRIVER TO SEE OUT OF ANY PART OF THE WINDOW REQUIRING AN IMMEDIATE STOP. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE HOOD WAS AJAR. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL BUT NONE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VIN. WHILE THE DRIVER AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT, THIS ISSUE HAD THE POTENTIAL TO INJURY OR KILL SOMEONE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A BUSIER ROAD.

SUN VISORS KEEP FALLING WHILE DRIVING IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG PATHFINDER OWNERS I'M AFRAID THIS MAY HAVE HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE ALREADY THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE POWER AND ACCELERATION. I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT AS I WAS MERGING IN FRONT OF AND NEXT TO TWO SEMI TRAILERS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STEER BACK ONTO THE BERM BUT THEY CAME VERY CLOSE TO SMASHING INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR.

WATER LEAKS INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR FROM THE ROOF AND RUNS DOWN AND SATURATE THE IN CABIN FUSE BOX AND THE FLOOR COULD POSSIBLE CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE.

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND JERKING. HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPED/JERKED RESULTING IN ALMOST NO ACCELERATION. HAS HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND ALSO WHEN TURNING. VEHICLE AS 76,000 MILES. 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER

THE SUN VISORS MAKES A LOUD CRACKING NOISE AND HAVE CONTINUED TO FALL DOWN IN MY LIGHT OF SIGHT STARTING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS ROUGHLY A YEAR OLD. THEY WILL NOT STAY UP AND HAVE ALMOST CAUSE ME TO GET INTO A SEVERE ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. THE DRIVES SIDE VISOR HAD TO BE REMOVED AS IT HIT ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND CAUSED ME TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD.

I GOT NEW TRANSMISSION AND DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY FOR ALTERNATOR BATTERY AND FUEL PUMP AND AFTER I GOT MY CAR BACK NOT TO MENTION THE DEALERSHIP STOLE EVERYTHING FROM MY CAR AND MY CAR WAS AS TILL THE SAME AND THEY SAID MY WARRANTY WAS UP AND I BARELY DROV E IT AROUND AND IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN
