2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

JERKING MOTION AN SLIPPING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP. ALSO JERKING WILL DRIVING.

DRIVING 35 MPH ON CITY STREET, NO CARS IN IMMEDIATE VICINITY, NO OVERPASSES OR BRIDGES, NO LOW-HANGING TREES AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING LARGE HAD BEEN DROPPED ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXAMINED THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THERE WERE NO SIGNS THAT ANYTHING HAD FALLEN ONTO THE CAR AS THERE WAS NO PAINT DAMAGE OR DENTS. HOWEVER, THE ENTIRE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. UPON REMOVING THE BROKEN GLASS FROM THE AREA, IT WAS CLEAR THERE WAS NOTHING INSIDE THE SUNROOF AREA THAT HAD IMPACTED THE GLASS.

2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER DRIVER'S INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE / MECHANISM BROKE: JUST DROVE HOME & PARKED IN MY GARAGE...THEN, WHILE TRYING TO EXIT MY CAR LIKE USUAL, USING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE LOCATION, SOMETHING IN THE DOOR MADE A NOISE AND HANDLE STOPPED WORKING AND WILL NOT UNLOCK NOR OPEN THE DOOR...!. IN ORDER TO EXIT THE CAR FROM THE DRIVER POSITION, I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO REACH THE OUTSIDE HANDLE (WHICH WORKS) OR HAVE SOMEONE OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR FROM OUTSIDE...! THIS IS DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE, CANNOT EXIT THE CAR, IN A SAFE AMOUNT OF TIME..! IT IS CLEARLY REALLY POOR ENGINEERING & QUALITY ON NISSAN'S PART...AND SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO OVERALL SAFETY ISSUE....

THE DOOR HANDLES ON THIS VEHICLE BREAK. THEY REPAIR THEM, AND THEY BREAK AGAIN. MY DEAL IS THIS IS A POINT OF EGRESS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. HOW CAN THEY JUSTIFY MAKING CUSTOMERS PAY FOR A PART THEY KNOW WAS DESIGNED TERRIBLY. ON TOP OF THAT, IF MY CAR CATCHES ON FIRE....HOW CAN THEY JUSTIFY MAKING ME CLIMB OVER SEATS TO GET OUT. THERE ARE BUSINESSES FINED FOR HAVING THE WRONG KIND OF DOOR RELEASE ON THEIR DOORS. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT.

SUNVISOR FAILS TO HOLD AND WILL ULTIMATELY FALL IN THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT WITH NO WAY TO SECURE CREATING A VISIBILITY HAZARD. EVEN IF THE VISOR IS REPLACED BY NISSAN IT WILL FAIL AGAIN DUE TO THE FLAWED DESIGN. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THEIR SUNVISORS. I WAS ADVISED TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT BY NUMEROUS THREADS, FORUMS, AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

VEHICLE RADIATOR COOLING FAN IS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION I'VE CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS A BAD BUSHING/BEARING IN 1 OF THE 2 FANS OF THE DUAL RADIATOR (DRIVERS SIDE). THE NOISE IS DUE TO THE FAN WOBBLING WHILE RUNNING UP TO 1/4 INCH OR SO. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WHICH TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. I HAVE PRICED ONE AT A PARTS STORE AND WAS QUOTED ~$800. THIS ISSUE IF LEFT UNCHECKED NOT ONLY IS VERY NOISY, BUT COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE AS THIS IS WHAT COOLS THE FLUID THAT COOLS THE ENGINE. I HAVE ALSO FOUND COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME SPECIFIC ISSUE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE MODELS. THIS IS OCCURRING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN PARK IDLING AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOW JUST HANGS IN MY LINE OF SIGHT UNLESS I PUSH IT OVER TO THE SIDE, WHICH ALSO OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. WE HAVE TRIED USING VELCRO BUT THE STICKY SIDE FALLS OFF WHEN IT GETS COLD IN THE VEHICLE. IT HAS FALLEN AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD ONCE WHILE DRIVING WHICH SCARED ME AND MADE ME JERK THE STEERING WHEEL. LUCKY IT DIDN'T CAUSE ME TO CRASH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT CORRECTED.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR HAS BROKEN FREE AND WILL DROP DOWN AT ANYTIME. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NISSAN MUST BE AWARE OF BY THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ON HERE. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ASAP

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NISSAN AND THE VISOR SLOWLY BEGAN TO GET LOWER AND LOWER AND NOW IS O STRUCTURE G VISIBILITY AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND IT'S OVER WARRENTY BECAUSE IT HAD 33K MILES, EMAILED NISSAN NO ANSWER. DEALER SAYS IT HAPPENS VERY OFTEN, TO FIX IS OVER 300.90

THE CAR COMPUTER IS [XXX] UP - THE CAR IS SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. I NEED NISSAN TO FIX THIS AT NO COST - THE HAS GIVEN ME TROUBLE FROM DAY ONE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
