2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

THE SUN VISORS ON OUR 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER STARTED TO DROOP DOWN AND EVENTUALLY BECAME SO LOOSE THAT THEY DID NOT STAY UP AT ALL AND ARE DANGLING ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS IS NOT ONLY ANNOYING BUT ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE IS BLOCKING PART OF THE VIEW. THE LOOSE FLAPPING PANEL ALSO DISTRACTS THE DRIVER IMMENSELY.

DRIVING 25 MILES AN HOUR ON A TOWN ROAD ACCELERATING AND THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN EVEN IF I CONTINUE TO PUSH THE GAS PETAL. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN ALMOST COMPLETELY BEFORE I TAPPED THE BRAKES AND THEN THE CAR SHOT AND REVVED FORWARD WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PETAL. ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN AFTER THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. IT DOES LILE MULTIPLY TIMES A DAY AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON ELECTRIC RELAY FOR STICKING, MY CAR IS HOWEVER NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL. THIS BEGAN IN MARCH AND IS MAKING IT UNSAFE TO TURN LEFT IN FEAR OF THE CAR NOT ACCLERATING DURING ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

CAR SOMETIMES DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN MERGING OR AT A STOP LIGHT PRESS ACCELERATOR AND CAR DOES NOT MOVE HAVE ALMOST BEEN REARENDED A FEW TIMES DEALER SAID BRAKE LGHT SWITCH WAS FAULTY

SHUTTERS/JURKING WHEN DRIVING 15-20 MPH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON NISSAN RESET MY CVT 2 YES AGO AND IT'S NOW BACK ON WITH CODE

A PLASTIC PIECE IN MY VISORS IS BROKEN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE COMPLAINT FROM OTHER NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS AS WELL. VISORS HANG DOWN IN THE WAY OF VISION WHILE DRIVING.

OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER IS GIVING US INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING WHEN THE FUEL IN THE TANK IS AT 1/4 OR BELOW. IT CAN SHOW US THAT WE HAVE 120 MILES TO EMPTY TANK AND 5 MINUTES LATER THAT WE HAVE 20 MILES TO EMPTY, THEN IT COULD STAY AT 20 MILES FOR MORE THAN 50-60 MILES DRIVEN. THIS CAUSES ROAD HAZARD SINCE WE CAN'T TELL EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL WE HAVE IN THE TANK AND WE ALWAYS HAVE TO KEEP IT ABOVE 1/2 OF THE TANK TO AVOID ISSUES.

THE CAR WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATION ON HIGHWAY AND STALLED DUE TO FAULTY TRANSMISSION. MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS WERE STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK CAR IN FOR CONCERNS ABOUT TRANSMISSION AT 77 K MILES WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE WITH NO CODES. THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 100 K. THE CAR WAS DEAD IN THE WATER. I HAD TO GET CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ONE MILE AWAY. DOING MORE RESEARCH ON THE TRANSMISSION AND SAW THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE 13 AND 14 IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE AND NISSAN KNOWS IT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT HAVE SEEN THAT NISSAN KNOWS THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY AND HAVE HELPED PEOPLE WITH REPAIR COSTS. SO I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY SAID I DID NOT MEET THE CRITERIA FOR WHICH THEY WOULD HELP. I ASKED WHAT WAS THE CRITERIA? FROM THE INFORMATION I GATHERED, THEY WILL NOT HELP IN REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION UNLESS YOU HAVE SPENT A BOATLOAD OF MONEY AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. I HAD A FRIEND OF MINE, SAME THING HAPPENED TO TRANS, NISSAN PAID FOR 70% OF TRANSMISSION REPAIR. I LEARNED THAT HE HAD PREVIOUSLY SPENT THOUSANDS AT THE SERVICE CENTER ON OTHER REPAIRS AND HE WAS APPROVED. I ARGUED WITH NISSAN THAT I AM BEING PENALIZED FOR HAVING A CAR THAT WORKED WELL AND DID NOT HAVE A BUNCH OF REPAIRS. SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT NISSAN WILL HELP ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS AT THEIR SERVICE CENTERS. THEY TALKED TO ME ABOUT CUSTOMER LOYALTY. I SAID HOW CAN I BE A LOYAL CUSTOMER AFTER THIS. NISSAN HAS SOLD A BUNCH OF LIES AND CONTINUES TO LIE TO CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSIONS. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SERVICE RECALL AFTER THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE OF THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. NEVER NISSAN.

MY VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO OD ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE A SOFT REASSEMBLY AN REPLACED THE GUTS OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURING. THIS VEHICLE ALSO PREVIOUSLY NEEDED TO BE TOWED DUE TO IT NOT ACCELERATING AFTER REACHING 60MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. IT SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASS 20 MPH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING SOUND. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,756.

MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE REAR WHEN TURNING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE ASSESSED AND WAS SOLD A NEW SET OF REAR SHOCK-ABSORBERS. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY EVIDENT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED, SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY FOUND THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS FAILING AND SHARDS OF METAL HAD BROKEN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT ABOUT 50000 MILES.
