2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

MY CAR LOST POWER BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. AT 89,000 MILES SHOULDN'T NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION BEEN READING UP ON IT AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN IS USING. STARTS WITH A FINDING NOISE WHEN DRIVING LONG DISTANCES THAN JUST LOST POWER WON'T MOVE CAR STILL RUNNING. IT SHUTTERS LIKE PUTS PUTS AND SHUTS OFF. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. THEY TOLD ME TRANSMISSION IS GOING. I PAYED 30,000 DOLLARS FOR THIS CAR 18 MONTHS AGO STILL OWE 21500 ON IT AND DO NOT HAVE 5000 ON A NEW TRANSMISSION AT THIS POINT I DON'T WANT THE CAR ANYMORE.

A FEW THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FEB 2013 AND THE ISSUES STARED RIGHT AWAY. THE ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IS THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL ALL OF THE SUDDEN. I WILL PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC OR JUST TURNING PERIOD, IT DOES THE SAME THING. IT IS VERY SCARY. I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CLAIMS THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM OR DID NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS I WAS DESCRIBING. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS THE VEHICLE AGES. JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN NOT ONLY WAS I EXPERIENCING THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH BUT MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T ENGAGE (I THOUGHT MAYBE THIS WOULD HELP KEEP THE CAR AT THE RIGHT SPEED) BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN ON . THEN THE ABS & VDC LIGHTS TURNED ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ON. NEXT TIME I TRIED THE CRUISE CONTROL IT WORKED. ANOTHER THING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IS MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, NOT EVERY TIME BUT MANY TIMES AND THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES I DIDN'T CATCH IT. JUST THIS MORNING MY BATTERY WAS DEAD AND THE BATTERY IS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD. I'M THINKING THESE LIGHTS STAYED ON ALL NIGHT. BEFORE TRYING TO JUMP-START MY BATTERY, WITH THE VEHICLE OFF, THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FAR RIGHT OF THE ENGINE. WE WERE ABLE TO JUMP START MY CAR AND IT HAS BEEN WORKING FINE TODAY SO FAR BUT I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER, YET AGAIN, FOR THESE ISSUES.

ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN 1 DAY. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR VEHICLE DOES NOT REACT. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE MOVING AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS OR STOPPED. I PRESS THE BRAKE AND GO TO ACCELERATE AGAIN AND IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. OR I CAN BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND VEHICLE WILL NOT REACT. ISSUE IS HAPPENING ABOUT 4-5 TIMES DURING A 15 MILE DRIVE. THIS IS HAPPENING ON FLAT SURFACES. IT LOOKS LIKE THE RPM INCREASE VERY LITTLE BUT EVEN IF I CONTINUE TO PRESS DOWN FURTHER ON THE PEDAL IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED, WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE RPMS INCREASED TO SIX AND SEVEN. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED, DECELERATED, AND MOMENTARILY ACCELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED A LOCAL DEALER WHO ADVISED HER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE TECHNICIAN KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

MY 2013 PATHFINDER STUDDERS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING GAS. IT HAS COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH STATED THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON INCLINES AND WHEN I GOT TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN THEN GO TO ACCELERATE AGAINST IT STUDDERS REALLY BAD. IT SOMETIMES WILL NOT START DUE TO NOT RECOGNIZING THE KEY FOB.

I JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE LAST WEEK. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND EVEN WHEN SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL ON STATING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS TURNED OFF. I WAS ADVISED THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS SITUATION SEEMS SIMILAR TO A COUPLE OTHER RECALLS ON THE 2013 PATHFINDERS. I'M UNSURE IF THE REPAIRS WERE DONE BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT IF THEY WERE THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS. SINCE THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS FROM MY VEHICLE. EITHER MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS OR THE REPAIRS WERE ATTEMPTED BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. I JUST WANT THE VEHICLE TO BE SAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IS INCORRECTLY SAYING THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY, WHEN IN FACT OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. NISSAN IS SAYING THAT BASED ON MY VIN# MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH OF A PASSENGER IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY PATHFINDER STALLS AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON AN ELEVATED SURFACE. WE JUST BOUGHT OUR 2013 PATHFINDER (53.5K MILES) LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AGO. IT IS CERTIFIED PRE OWNED AND UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY 7 YEARS/ 100K MILES. WHEN I TOOK THE ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP, LAST WEEK, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR DID NOT THROW A COMPUTER CODE AND WHEN THEY TEST DROVE MY CAR THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES. THEY DID HOWEVER TELL ME THAT WHEN THEY TRIED TO PARALLEL PARK IT ON A HILL, IT ACCELERATED AS SOON AS THEY PUT IT IN DRIVE, TO WHICH I EXPLAINED I NEVER PUT MY PATHFINDER IN PARK, I ONLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, ON A HILL AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS TERRIFYING CONSIDERING MY 6 MONTH OLD BABY HAS BEEN IN THE BACKSEAT WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS.

VEHICLE STALLS AT VARIOUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING, WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHILE PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL. HAS NOW HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. STALLED ALSO, WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING DOWNHILL AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE UNTIL ON LEVEL SURFACE FOR 15 SECONDS, LOST 35 MPH DURING THIS INCIDENT. PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT NO ONE IS IN SEAT WHILE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. I HAVE SEVERAL PHOTOS AND DATES OF THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM.
