2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON 11/6/2018 AND IT WAS RIDING FUNNY SO I TOOK IT INTO MY DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING MY CARS TRANS WENT OUT A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES OF THE DEALERSHIP FIXING IT. THEY STATED THAT'S A NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES.

2014 N PATHFINDER 83,000 MILES- I PARKED MY CAR WHEN I RESTARTED IT 10 MIN LATER, WHITE SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM MY EXHAUST. SO MUCH SMOKE THAT I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. HE SAID THAT IT'S DEFIANTLY THE ENGINE (POSSIBLE PISTON RING OR STUCK VALVES) HE SAYS HE'S HEARD OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. GOOGLED AND SEE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER SAYS I'M 8,000 MILES OUT OF MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. HARD TO BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SEEMS SO WIDE SPREAD AND ISN'T A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AND WOULD JERK. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRANDON NISSAN (LOCATED AT 9920 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619, (813) 305-7681) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VALVE FAILED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,120.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TODAY AND THE CAR STARTING JERKING ALMOST LIKE STALLING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON AND OFF AND HAPPENS DURING SLOWER SPEEDS OR WHEN I AM MAKING TURNS BUT YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THE CAR STARTED JUDDERING. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN TO CHECK THIS OUT AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT NOW I TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO NISSAN AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FIX THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN HE EXITED THE VEHICLE.

THE SUN VISOR WILL DROP DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY UP CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING.

WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 1PM WHEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODED. IT EXPLODED BEFORE ON 11/29/18. THE WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND CLEAR WITH A TEMP OF ABOUT 45 DEGREES. THE SUN SHIELD WAS OPEN BUT THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED. WE HADN'T PASSED AN OVERPASS AND WHEN THE WE CLEANED UP THE GLASS WE DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAVE IMPACTED THE GLASS OF THE SUNROOF. WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2018.

TAKATA RECALL- BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND AFTER MAKING A CLICKING SOUND FOR SOME TIME WHEN BEING PULLED DOWN TO USE IN SUNNY CONDITIONS, THE VISORS FINALLY BREAK AND HANG DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD AND THE VISORS CAN NOT BE PUT BACK UP IN PLACE. WHEN DOING A WEB SEARCH, I SEE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD TO NOT HAVE A FUNCTIONING SUN VISOR BUT ALSO TO HAVE IT BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE WINDSHIELD AND ROAD

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE ACCELERATOR WOULD SUDDENLY NOT RESPOND BECOMING A LIFE HAZARD TO MY FAMILY AND MYSELF AND ALSO OTHER DRIVERS BEHIND MY VEHICLE; THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO STOP OPERATING WHEN THIS OCCURS. ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED AND WITH THE CAR BEING OFF.
