2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK IT TO MY REPAIR SHOP TO RUN A COMPUTER CHECK. IT CAME BACK WITH THE CVT P17F1 TRANSMISSION CODE. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, THE LIGHT CAME ON YESTERDAY, TAKEN IN TODAY TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. MY REPAIR PLACE SAID THEY SAW WHERE NISSAN HAD A RECALL ON MY TYPE OR PATHFINDER YEARS 2013-2015 BUT WHEN I LOOKED UP MY TRUCK WITH THE VIN, IT SAYS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I'M TRYING TO SEE WHY MY VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION?

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP IN THE RETRACTED POSITION, OBSTRUCTING WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY. PLASTIC PARTS FOR RETAINING SUN VISORS ARE BROKEN. THIS IS WITH VERY LIGHT USE. BOTH SUN VISORS STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AROUND THE SAME TIME, WHICH POINTS TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT RATHER THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE SUNROOF EXPLODED SEND CHUNKS OF GLASS FLYING. THE EXPLOSION WAS SO LOUD, IT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF ANOTHER CAR HAD BEEN IN THE OTHER LANE. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AND HAD NOT BEEN OPENED IN WEEKS.

INSIDE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE BROKEN, NOT ALLOWING ACCESS TO EXIT VEHICLE WITHOUT SOMEONE OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE OR HAVING THE WINDOW DOWN. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES SINCE MARCH OF 2017. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE PROPERLY WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OCCUPANT DETECTION INDICATOR FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. FURTHERMORE, THE CONTACT REPORTED THAT THE INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE RELATED SENSOR AND THE ABS WHEEL SENSOR FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT THE POWER WINDOWS INDEPENDENTLY ROLLED UP AND DOWN, THE BACK-UP CAMERA DISABLED AND ROTATED IN THE REVERSE POSITION, AND THE KEY FOB SENSOR INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO PERFORM AS INTENDED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY POSITION SENSOR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. BAYTOWN NISSAN (5445 I-10, BAYTOWN, TEXAS 77521, (281) 394-1995) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 33384799. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AROUND 35-40 MPH, HOOD FLIES OPEN AND HITS WINDSHIELD OUT OF NO WHERE.

THE THE ARMS THAT OPEN THE REAR LIFTGATE ON MY PATHFINDER RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. ONE DAY WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR IT SLAMMED SHUT SUDDENLY AND WOULDN'T OPEN ANYMORE WITHOUT SOMEONE MANUALLY LIFTING IT AND HOLDING IT OPEN. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED AND WE WERE TOLD THE PATHFINDERS REAR LIFTGATE HAS BEEN CHANGED COMPLETELY AND IN ORDER TO FIX OURS WE NEED TO REPLACE BOTH SHOCKS AS WELL AS THE OPERATING SYSTEM...... WHICH COMES IN AT 1400 DOLLARS BEFORE LABOR....... OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE THERE IS THEY HAVE COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW THE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES! ALSO, THEY ISSUED A RECALL ON THE NISSAN ROGUE AROUND THE SAME TIME THAT WE GOT OUR PATHFINDER FOR THAT SAME ISSUE WITH THE TAILGATE..... I'M SURE THE SHOCKS FROM THOSE ROGUES THAT WERE RECALLED MUST BE INCREDIBLY SIMILAR TO THE ONES IN THE NISSAN PATHFINDER.......
