2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. THE CLIP IS BROKEN INSIDE TO HOLD THE VISOR UP THE SUN VISOR FLAPS DOWN DURING DRIVING OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW FOR THE DRIVER THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO OCCUPANTS AND OTHERS/VEHICLES. CAR HAS 56,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS FRACTURED AND DROOPED, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE VISORS BE REPLACED. THE VISORS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER ONE YEAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

AIRBAG SENSOR RECALL - PART WAS ORDERED JULY 7, 2016. AT TIME SENSORS APPEARED TO BE WORKING. AS OF AUGUST 16TH, SENSORS NO LONGER SENSING WEIGHT IN PASSENGER SEAT, NO LONGER WORKING. NISSAN REFUSING TO PROVIDE EQUIVALENT LONG TERM LOANER AND DEALERSHIP (LUTHER NISSAN KIA, INVER GROVE HEIGHTS) ALSO REFUSING TO PROVIDE EQUIVALENT SIZED LOANER (FAMILY NEEDS 3RD ROW) CONTACTED NISSAN REGIONAL SPECIALIST JUSTIN - HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING NISSAN IS WILLING TO DO (SUPPLY PART SOONER OR LOANER). HAVE ALSO ESCALATED TO MN ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE. HAVE ALSO ESCALATED TO NISSAN EXECUTIVE OFFICE (RAVEN), BUT SO FAR ONLY PLAYING PHONE TAG WITH. NEED ASSISTANCE WITH NISSAN SO THAT MY PASSENGER HAS AN AIRBAG. AT TIMES NOT ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE WHEN PASSENGER NEEDS TO ACCOMPANY. REQUEST EQUIVALENT SIZED LOANER UNTIL PARTS/REPAIR COMPLETED ON OWNED VEHICLE AS WELL AS AIRBAG SENSOR IN WORKING CONDITION AFTER REPAIR. NISSAN COMPANY PORTRAYED A "WE DON'T CARE" ATTITUDE AND WOULDN'T ALLOW COMMENTS TO BE MADE "ON RECORD" OR RECORDED.

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR WILL NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP TO THE WINSHIELD IN THE OPEN MODE NOR GO ALL THE WAY UP TO THE CEILING IN CLOSED MODE. IT CREATES A VISUAL AND SAFETY ISSUE BY HANGING DOWN.

THE HOOD ON MY VEHICLE FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH DOWN THE ROAD. NISSAN FIXED THE ISSUE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT UNDER 130 LBS. I GOT A RECALL NOTIFICATION. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN TO HAVE THEM FIX THIS 3 TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART. MY HUSBAND WEIGHS 128 LBS AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DETECT HIM SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF I WERE TO GET IN A WRECK THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH MY HUSBAND SITTING IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE TOLD NISSAN THIS NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT GET THE PART IN. I THINK THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

INTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING. I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR UNDER NORMAL USE AND THE LEVER JUST MOVES FREELY WITHOUT CATCHING THE LATCH. EXTERIOR HANDLE STILL WORKS, BUT INTERIOR HANDLE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FAILED. UPON REGULAR USE (I.E., NO PULLING, TWISTING, EXCESSIVE FORCE) IT FAILED TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND MADE A CRUNCHING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE DRIVER DOOR IS TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN AND PULL THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. THE INTERIOR HANDLE MOVES, BUT DOES NOT ENGAGE THE DOOR. THE DRIVER CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IF THE POWER IS OFF. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE (DOWN TO THE "CRUNCHING NOISE" DETAIL) ON VARIOUS PATHFINDER OWNER FORUMS ONLINE. THIS IS CLEARLY A MASSIVE MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER EMERGENCY A DRIVER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY ENOUGH AND THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK FOR THE DRIVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SPONGY. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTVATED, THE FAILURE WAS MORE EVIDENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

I HAD MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SHOWING AIRBAG OFF WHEN I AM SITTING IN THE VEHICLE WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. EVERY TIME I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM I WAS GIVEN AN EXCUSE AS TO WHY IT IS HAPPENING. THE WAY I SIT ANDTHE VEHICLE HAS TO BE SHUT OFF AND ON AGAIN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM ARE EXCUSES GIVEN. WHEN THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED I FIGURED THE PROBLEM WOULD FINALLY BE FIXED. I WAS WRONG, THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME 100 TIMES WORSE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN AND A REPROGRAM WAS PERFORMED. NOW EVERYTIME I GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE SAYING AIRBAG OFF AND WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT AND THE DRIVER STARTS TO DRIVE IT WILL STAY ILLUMINATED FOR ABOUT 20-25 MINUTES AT ANY SPEED FROM LOCAL TO HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR A PERMANENT FIX.

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I DID A RECALL ON CRT I BELIEVE IT WAS CALLED. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AT AROUND 20-30. THEY HAD A RECALL FOR IT. IT FIXED IT FOR ABOUT 20,000 MILES AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. THE SERVICE MAN SAID I NEED TO DO TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THAT WILL NOT STOP THE SHAKING! I WENT TO ACCELERATE YESTERDAY IN AN INTERSECTION AND IT WOULD NOT GO. AFTER CONTINUELY TRYING IT WENT. ALSO AM STILL WAITING ON RECALL FOR FRONT SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT. THEY NEVER CALLED ME TO SAY IT WAS IN. THAT WAS A MONTH AGO. I HAVE ALSO JUST REPLACED THE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS FALLING AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE IS DOING IT. WORST, MOST UNSAFE CAR I HAVE EVER HAD.
