2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

WHEN BRAKING, I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING AT STOP LIGHTS. EVEN WHEN THE PEDAL DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THE BRAKES ARE "SOFT". MANY TIMES, THE BRAKES DO NOT SEEM TO START WORKING UNTIL THE PEDAL IS PRESSED DOWN ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. SPEED DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR, THE BRAKES JUST DON'T WORK. UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THERE IS A HIGH-PITCHED SQUEAL THAT CAN ONLY BE HEARD INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN 4 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE WITH NO PERMANENT RESOLUTION. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITHOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STEPPING IN, BE IT NHTSA OR THE COURTS - MOST OF US CANNOT AFFORD TO GO THE THE LEGAL ROUTE AS WE'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH ON "BAND-AID" REPAIRS AT NISSAN. PLEASE TAKE SOME ACTION ON THIS MATTER, TOO MANY LIVES ARE AT STAKE. WE'LL NEVER HAVE ZERO FATALITIES WHEN A MANUFACTURER IS ALLOWED TO PRODUCE UNSAFE VEHICLES WITHOUT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. AT A MINIMUM, NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES TO EITHER SOLVE THE PROBLEM OR FIND A WAY TO GET THEIR DANGEROUS VEHICLES OFF OF OUR ROADS WITHOUT PENALIZING THE CONSUMERS THAT TRUSTED NISSAN TO PROVIDE A SAFE VEHICLE.

WHEN I DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME TO ACCELERATE MY CAR JUST DO NOT RESPONSE...I PRESS THE ACCELETOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND STILL WITH NO POWER...THIS HAPPENED TO ME MANY TIMES IN THE HIGHWAY AND A LOCAL ROADS....I JUST PANICKED...I FEEL UNSAFE IN MY CAR NOW,I MAY FINISHED REAR ENDED ON THE ROAD.

ANYWHERE BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MILES MY CAR SHUDDERS. IT'S TO THE POINT PINT IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE

PATHFINDER WILL NOT RELEASE FROM THE PARK POSITION. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY.

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF AND CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE MOMENTARILY INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO THE REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN.

SINCE 2014 WE HAVE REPLACED 5 TRANSMISSIONS AND 4 OF THESE HAVE BEEN IN THE LAST MONTH . THE FIRST ONE WAS A RECALL . I AM WONDERING HOW MANY TIMES WILL THEY CONTINUE TO WORK THIS ISSUE BEFORE THEY FIX IT OR TAKE THE VIC AS A LOSS DUE TO THIS ISSUE NEVER BEING HANDLED. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND I CANNOT CONSIDER SELLING IT OR TRADING IT IN IF IT KEEPS BREAKING. NISSIAN HAS SAID THEY REPLACED THIS WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION MULTIPLE TIMES BUT HOW DOES THE SAME NEW TRANSMISSION KEEP BREAKING . I NEED ANSWERS .

THE BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T TURN OFF. IT DOSEN'T MATTER IF THE C AS R IS IN MOTION OR THE ENGINE IS OFF.

DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE MY WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING BECAUSE OF HEAVY SNOW. THEY WERE REPAIRED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I HAD TO DRIVE IN THE SHOULDER SO I COULD FOLLOW THE WHITE LINE. AGAIN ON A CITY STREET IN HEAVY SNOW MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND WERE REPAIRED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. TODAY, AGAIN MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY SNOW ON A CITY STREET. NONE OF THE TIMES WERE FROM SNOW FROM THE TOP OF MY VEHICLE. I HAD CLEARED THAT OFF BEFORE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,892. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED IT'S NOT A TRANSMISSION ISSUE BUT A FAULTY BRAKE/STOP LAMP RELAY INTERRUPTING ACCELERATION. *TR

MY GEAR SHIFT NO LONGER WORKS AND I HAVE BEEN PUTTING A SCREWDRIVER IN TO MANUALLY OVERRIDE IT FOR OVER A YEAR. YESTERDAY, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE BRAKE WOULDN'T ENGAGE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF AND PUT IT BACK ON THE BRAKE AND AGAIN THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED AND IT WORKED FINE. I HAVE READ THIS MAY HAVE TO DO WITH A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND THIS IS ALSO RELATED TO THE SHIFTING PROBLEM, BUT NISSAN SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. I WAS PUTTING UP WITH THE GEAR SHIFT AS I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A SAFETY RISK BUT I DEFINITELY COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE YESTERDAY.
