2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Complaints

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL STREET TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR. AS I WAS ACCELERATING DOWN THE STREET MY CAR BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN WITHOUT ME HITTING THE BRAKES. I HAD TO TURN IN THE TURNING LANE SO KNOW ONE WOULD HIT THE BACK OF MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING, BUT THE SAID IT WAS A RECALL ON A PART ON MY TRANSMISSION. THEY FIXED IT. I NOTICED THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWO WEEKS LATER. *TR

I HAVE SEEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON AND OFF FOR THE PAST 10,000 MILES. IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT JUST BLINKS ALL THE TIME. THE VEHICLE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR A TOTAL OF THREE MORE RECALLS, CVT REPROGRAM, HOOD LATCH, AND REPROGRAM THE OCS ( AIR BAG ). I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP, STARTED THE CAR, AND LIGHT WAS STILL BLINKING? IF THE LIGHT IS STILL BLINKING ALL THE TIME, THE PASS SIDE AIR BAG IS NOT OPERABLE? SO THE OCS RECALL IS A WASTE OF TIME, I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THERE LIGHT IS STILL ON ALSO! WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH THE CAR? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE WHEN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND THE PASSENGER IS INJURED? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPIED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSORS WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000. ... UPDATED 06-02-15 *BF UPDATED 10/12/2017*CN

I WAS DRIVING ALONG, GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST IT TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART IT AGAIN. I HAD ABOUT 3/4 TANK OF GAS, SO THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE SINCE THEN AND WE HAD IT SERVICED ON YESTERDAY, BUT THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. HOWEVER, THIS LOSS OF POWER, ESPECIALLY ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, SMOKE STARTED TO EMIT FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT SUPPORTING NHTSA ACTION NUMBER RQ15001. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED (SHOWING THE AIRBAG IS OFF) WHILE AN ADULT OVER 150 LBS IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE COMPLAINT. I ALSO HAVE 2 VIDEOS OF THE ISSUE WHILE TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE TO PROVE THAT THEIR IS AN ISSUE THAT EXISTS. IT HAS ALREADY HAD THE RECALL DONE ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS). *TR

THE TAILGATE/HATCHBACK TRIED TO CLOSE ON WIFE'S HEAD AS SHE WAS PLACING STUFF INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME. IT OCCURS WHEN THE GATE HASN'T FULLY OPENED YET, BUT FOR SOME REASON, IT DECIDES TO CLOSE INSTEAD OF OPEN WHEN SOMEONE IS REACHING INTO THE BACK. *TR

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MY WIFE, WHO WEIGHS 110 LBS. SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT ONE OR TWO TIMES. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER, THEY CHECK EVERYTHING OUT AND TELL ME IT'S WORKING AS DESIGNED. IT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR SENSOR REPLACEMENT. THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE THEY SAID THEY COULD RESET THE COMPUTER TO 0 TOLERANCE. NOT SURE WHAT THAT DOES TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE TOLD MY WIFE TO SIT ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND ALSO IN THE CENTER OF THE SEAT. WHICH DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. THE LATEST INCIDENT WAS 04/06/15. *TR

UPON ACCELERATION FROM IDLE OR AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATION PEDAL PRODUCES NO MOVEMENT. YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN, UPON WHICH NO MOVEMENT FORWARD IS CREATED. ALSO, THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG, EVEN WITH A 160 POUND PASSENGER SITS IN SEAT, AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL TURNED OFF, SUBSEQUENTLY TURNING OFF AIRBAG. *TR

MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS INVOLVED IN A SIDE IMPACT ACCIDENT ON MAY 11TH, 2014. THREE OCCUPANTS OF MY MV WERE INJURED, INCLUDING MYSELF. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. WITH THIS RECALL THE SIDE PASSENGER AIRBAGS WOULD FAIL TO DEPLOY IN A SIDE IMPACT ACCIDENT. AFTER MAY 11, 2014, I TOOK MY 2013 PATHFINDER TO LIA NISSAN IN ENFIELD, CT, TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS INSPECTED TO SEE IF THEY OPERATED PROPERLY IN THE ACCIDENT. WITHOUT INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE FEMALE SERVICE TECH./MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD SURELY HAVE OPERATED PROPERLY IN THE ACCIDENT AS DESIGNED. THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE STATED I NEEDED TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED SO THEY COULD PERFORM THE RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS/AIR BAG SENSOR. THEY WOULD NOT INSPECT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. DAMAGE TO THE 2013 PATHFINDER INCLUDED FRAME DAMAGE, BOTH PASSENGER DOORS WERE INOPERABLE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FRAME WAS REPLACED AS IT WAS BENT IN THE ACCIDENT. MV WAS REPAINTED. AFTER THE REPAIRS, I WAS STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON INDICATING THE AIRBAGS WERE OFF. AT VARIOUS NORMAL SERVICE (OIL CHANGES ETC...) I INFORMED NISSAN TECHS ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT. I WAS GIVEN THIS ADVICE FROM THE SERVICE TECH. IF THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN TURN THE MV ON AND OFF TO RESET THE SENSOR. MARCH 2015 AFTER READING THE ARTICLE REGARDING THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION INTO THESE SAME ISSUES. I AGAIN TOOK MY MV TO LIA NISSAN IN ENFIELD, CT. TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT BEING STILL ON. THEY TOLD ME THE ISSUE WAS FIXED WITH THE RECALL AND EVEN IF THE PASSENGER (AIRBAG OFF) LIGHT IS ON, THE AIR BAGS WOULD STILL WORK PROPERLY. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE PROPER "OFF" INDICATOR WAS THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS THEN ADVISED AGAIN TO TURN MY MV OFF THEN ON TO RESET THE SENSOR. I DO NOT CONSIDER THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED.
