2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

WHILE TOWING A LOAD, THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING DIS ENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL AND CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER!!! VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS FIXED. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN!

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN-VISOR DOESN'T STAY UP. IT HANGS DIRECTLY DOWN, CAUSING IT TO BE RIGHT IN MY LINE OF SIGHT. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO VELCRO OR TAPE IT UP BUT NOTHING WORKS FOR VERY LONG AND THE VISOR WILL FALL DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

LOSS OF ACCELERATION AFTER STOPPING. PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR & NO RESPONSE, NO RPM CHANGE. PUMPED GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES, FINALLY THE VEHICLE RESPONDED AFTER ALMOST BEING HIT. MY VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES & ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE AFTER BREAKING. I DO NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BREAK BUT IT DOES SEEM TO RESPOND AFTER I SWITCH FROM BREAK TO GAS SEVERAL TIMES AS IF IT IS A FAULTY SWITCH.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STUTTERS/JUDDERS FOR A FEW SECONDS. IT HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE, EVEN STARTING TO SHOW UP AT MEDIUM SPEEDS, TO THE POINT WHERE WE THINK THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL. IF YOU PUSH ON THE GAS IT EVENTUALLY GOES THROUGHT THE STUTTERING. SINCE NO CODES ARE INDICATING THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT THE ISSUE.

WASHING MY CAR THIS PAST SUMMER,THE HEAD LAMP LENSE COVERS SHATTERED. THE LENSES ARE STILL IN TACK . THE LIGHT BEAMS ARE DISTORTED,THE HEADLAMPS ARE NOT AS BRIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALER HANDED ME A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM NISSAN [REFERNCE NTB17-045,CLASSIFICATION EL17-015]. I CONTACKED NISSAN TO NO AVAIL,THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPLACE LENSES AT MY EXPENSE.I DONT FEEL THIS IS RIGHT! VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION.

UNSAFE CONDITION, THIS IS THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE! NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION. DISREGARDING COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB. THE CAR DROPS OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND LOOSES UP TO 20MPH. WE FEEL UNSAFE WHEN TOWING A LOAD! THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. NISSAN MADE SOME CHANGES AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING BUT IT STILL IS UNSAFE.

WHILE TOWING UNDER THE CAPACITY OF THE VEHICLE TOW SPECIFICATION, THE VEHICLE DROPPED OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL (SET AT 65 MPH). THIS CAUSED AN UNEXPECTED SLOWDOWN OF ALMOST 20 MPH AND MY FAMILY AND I FEARED GETTING HIT AT THAT SPEED (45 IN A 65 WHEN PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AT 75 OR MORE). NISSAN TECHNICIANS WITNESSED THIS HAPPEN.

REAR BRAKE PADS GONE IN 1.5 YEARS IS UNHEARD OF. ONLY 36,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. TIRES WERE BALD AFTER ONE YEAR. SUCH INFERIOR PRODUCTS GOING INTO A $40K CAR

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAY. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CITED LOOSE WIRING AS THE CAUSE. THIRD OCCURRENCE WITHIN 2 YEARS.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (OR EQUIVALENT WITH WIND), THE HOOD SHAKES LIKE IT IS BEING LIFTED BY THE WIND. IT SEEMS TO SHAKE/VIBRATE BETWEEN THE LATCH AND THE BUMPERS. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND THEY ARE INFORMED ME THIS IS "NORMAL" AND THEY HAVE ADJUSTED THE LATCH AND BUMPERS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE SHAKING AND I AM WORRIED THAT OVER TIME THE LATCH WILL BREAK AND THE HOOD WILL OPEN. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THIS IS LIKELY VERY DANGEROUS.
