2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE SAFELY EXITED THE ROADWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ROUTE 22 NISSAN, 56 US-22, HILLSIDE, NJ 07205, (855) 586-9766, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, CASE NUMBER: 38348755. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION KEEPS SHUDDERING AND I WAS TOLD IT MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN OR LOOSE POWER WHEN DRIVING NISSAN SAYS THERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT NO SOLUTION UNLESS I WANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION

BOTH SUN VISORS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT GO UP AND HANG DOWN DUE TO A DEFECT. THIS BLOCKS THE VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD AND POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AS IF YOU WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THE PERSON WOULD GET INJURED BY THE VISOR HANGING DOWN. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN MENTIONED ONLINE BY MANY NISSAN OWNERS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER. I RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE OF $430.84 TO GET THEM REPLACED. WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY VISORS WERE LIKE THIS WAS WHEN. I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE NISSAN GARAGE AS THEY WERE FIXING A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. I TRIED TO PUSH UP AND THEY WOULD JUST FALL DOWN AGAIN. NOTHING I DID TO CAUSE THIS.

ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN MARCH 2018 WITH ERROR CODE P17F0 DUE TO TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING. RECENTLY STARTED HAVING SAME ISSUES HAPPEN AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, NOTICED SUDDEN ACCELERATION DELAY WHEN AT STOPPED POSITIONS/LOW SPEED POSITIONS. VEHICLE NOISE HAS BECOME VERY LOUD WHEN IDLE OR LOW SPEED. TOOK IT INTO NISSAN DEALER, THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE ERROR AND IDENTIFIED SAME ISSUE. SINCE NO ERROR CODE, THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT STATED CANNOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THERE'S NO CODE. NISSAN HAS RECOMMENDED DRIVING AROUND UNTIL ERROR CODE POPS UP - 3000KM/3MOS LEFT ON EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF ERROR CODE DOESN'T GET STORED, I'M TOLD THEY CAN'T FIX. TAKING BACK IN FOR RE-DIAGNOSIS AS TRANSMISSION NOISE IS UNBEARABLE

I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN THEY SAID I NEED TO REPLACE THE HOSES ON VEHICLE. NOW THAT THAT HAS BEEN DONE THEY ARE TELLING ME I AM STILL HAVING A TRANSMISSION LEAK. BECAUSE OF BAD CLAMPS. THEY HAVE NOW TOLD ME THEY CANNOT REPLACE JUST CLAMPS AND MUST REPLACE RADIATOR ALSO. I HAVE FOUND THAT NISSAN HAS A RECALL POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLING UNIT AND LINES ON 2013 PATHFINDERS. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL THEY SAID MINE DOESNT QUALIFY.... EVEN THOUGH SAME ISSUE AS OTHER 2013 PATHFINDERS WITH RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GARDEN CITY NISSAN (316 N FRANKLIN ST, HEMPSTEAD, NY 11550, (516) 483-4400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND ENGINE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

I CAN NOT MOVE THE SHIFTER OUT OF PARK. I HAVE TO USE THE RELEASE BUTTON NEXT TO THE SHIFTER EVERY TIME TO GET IT OUT OF PARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V244000, 13V069000 AND 15V681000 (AIR BAGS) AND 14V138000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS) AT NISSAN OF HUNTINGTON (850 E JERICHO TURNPIKE, HUNTINGTON STATION, NY 11746, (631) 533-4888). THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE AIR BAG MODULE CONTROL UNIT, BUT DID NOT REPLACE THE SENSORS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER SIX TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE, WHICH WAS NEVER PERFORMED SATISFACTORILY. THE CONTACT HAD TO PAY TO REPAIR BOTH THE SENSOR AND MODULE.

THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE SRS LIGHT IS FLASHING ON THE DASH. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT DETECT A PASSENGER WEIGHING OVER 150 LBS. THE PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. IN MAY OF 2018, THE PROBLEM WAS TEMPORARILY FIXED BY REPLACING THE ACU DIAG UNIT, THE AIR BAG PRESS DETECTION MODULE ASSEMBLY, THE OCCUPANT SENSOR, AND THE AIR BAG PRESSURE DETECTION SENSOR. THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AGAIN JUST OVER A YEAR LATER. THIS PROBLEMS OCCURS IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT ALL TIMES. THE FLASHING LIGHT SUPPRESSES THE AIR BAG SYSTEM MEANING AN AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD DURING AN ACCIDENT. THIS LEAVES MY FAMILY AND I AT RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH IF AN ACCIDENT WAS TO OCCUR. THE REOCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM TOOK PLACE ON AUGUST 13, 2009. THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED ON MAY, 9, 2018.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON AND VEHICLE HAS LOSS OF POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE WHEN BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF IT GOES BACK TO FULL POWER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL BUT IT APPEARS MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T COVERED ALTHOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS OTHER 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. I HAVE LESS THAN 61000 MILES ON THE VEHICAL.
