2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN MY MOTHER IS THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SHE ONLY WAYS ABOUT 90 LBS, NISSAN SAYS THIS IS A CHILDS WEIGHT AND THE PERSON SHOULD BE IN THE BACKSEAT. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE CALL ME. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING, I SHOULD PUT MY MOTHER IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAD MANY VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS ISSUE. IS THIS AN ISSUE WITH ALL NISSANS. WE ALSO HAVE A 2015 KIA OPTIMA AND THAT AIRBAG WARNING WORKS FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER A MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR A TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR RANDOMLY DOES NOT DETECT A FULL SIZE ADULT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THEREFORE SHUTS OFF THE AIR BAG. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OCCASIONS AND THESE ARE FULL GROWN ADULTS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS SUV HAS BEEN IN FOR A RECALL O N THIS SENSOR, BUT THAT STILL DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE TAKEN ON 10/9/2015, SHOWING THE AIRBAG SHUTOFF LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WITH A FULL GROWN MALE PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO JERK AND SLIP GEARS. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED UNDER A MANUFACTURER'S VOLUNTARY RECALL RELATED TO REPROGRAMMING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEARING WERE REPLACED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES WERE ALSO REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

WHILE PARKED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM PASSENGER SEAL. OVER THE NEXT DAY, EVERY TIME THE CAR WAS STOPPED AFTER DRIVING, THE CRACK SPREAD SIGNIFICANTLY. WHEN I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD, NOT COVERED BY NISSAN'S 3 YEAR-36,000 MILE WARRANTY- I FOUND OUT THE WINDSHIELD WAS DEFECTIVE AND THIS HAPPENS A LOT WITH NISSANS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

THE VEHICLE STOPS ACCELERATING EVEN AFTER PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. THEN START TO GO BACK TO NORMAL VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED LIT WITH A 250 LB PASSENGER IN THE SEAT UNTIL WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION. WE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS, AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. IT USUALLY HAPPENS IF THE PASSENGER GETS IN AS THE CAR IS BEING STARTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 45-50 MPH, THE HOOD SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. MA 10/25/15

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR INTO A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY, I BRAKED ON THE PAVEMENT TO MAKE MY TURN, TURNING INTO THE GRAVEL DRIVEWAY, WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW THE CAR, I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO QUICKLY TURN THE CAR TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND A BUILDING, AND HAD TO SLAM THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, ADVISED THEM OF THE ISSUE, AS THEY WERE OVER AN HOUR AWAY, THEY SENT SOMEONE WITH A TRAILER TO COME PICK UP THE CAR. DURING THIS TIME, I ALSO ADVISED THEM OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON WHILE I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT, STATING THAT THE AIRBAG WAS OFF. MY PASSENGER WAS MY TEENAGE SON, WEIGHING OVER 120 LBS. I ALSO HAD MY HUSBAND IN THE SEAT, OVER 250 LBS, THE LIGHT STILL CAME ON. NISSAN STATED THIS WAS ALL DUE TO A COMPUTER ISSUE, THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER CAR AS I WAS WITHOUT MY CAR FOR OVER 1 WEEK. THEY EVEN TRIED TO SELL ME THE LOANER CAR, THIS SHOULD TELL A PERSON SOMETHING RIGHT?? I HAVE HAD WEATHER STRIPPING COME OFF MY CAR WHILE I AM DRIVING, AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE ROOF, PAINT IS PEELING ON THE REAR BUMPER, SOMETIMES THE CAR WON'T RECOGNIZE MY KEY FOB TO START, STATING INCORRECT KEY ID. THE CAR STALLS, HESITATES, SMOKES, TRANSMISSION "JERKS", LIKE IT WANTS TO GIVE UP, THE AC DOES NOT BLOW COLD AIR, SOMETIMES ITS EVEN WARM. I WILL NOT LET ANYONE DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL STALL OUT OR NOT STOP. SOMETIMES, WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE, OR IT HESITATES TO MOVE. I HAVE ANOTHER RECALL TO HAVE REPAIRED, THE HOOD LATCH...WITH THE DEALERSHIP OVER AN HOUR AWAY, WORKING FULL TIME, THEY ONLY REPAIR RECALLS DURING THE WEEK, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT FIXED, WHEN THE HOOD LATCH FAILS AND I WRECK? SERIOUSLY, RECALL THE VEHICLE, IT HAS SO MANY SAFETY RECALLS, ITS JUST NOT SAFE.

VEHICLE STALLS ON HILLS AND HAS BAD MILEAGE AND HESITATES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED IN DALLAS, TX AND NOW TWICE IN EL PASO, TX. THE LAST INSPECTION WAS A RECALL AND ALL I WAS TOLD WAS IT MAY NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW HESITATES ON HILLS AND IS VERY SLUGGISH. IT STALLS WHILE TAKING OFF ON HILLS. VERY DANGEROUS.... ALL I HAVE RECEIVED IS LIP SERVICE. PLEASE CONTACT ASAP.
