2015 Nissan Pathfinder

WHILE DRIVING MY PATHFINDER ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND ROADS, I WOULD BE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, TURNING ONTO A ROAD AND JUST TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE OFTEN LOSES ALL POWER AND DECELERATES. I HAVE PLACED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND YET HAVE NO POWER. IT TAKES AT LEAST 10-15 SECONDS TO REGAIN POWER AND BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. OFTEN TIMES I'VE BEEN CLOSE TO BEING REAR ENDED, ESPECIALLY ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS, WITH MY 2 MONTH OLD NIECE IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME BY TRACTOR TRAILERS. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND ANYONE IN THE CAR WITH ME, AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS WHO HAVE POTENTIAL TO REAR END ME AS I LOSE POWER. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON ROUTE 70 IN NEW STANTON, PA, ROUTE 119 (SEVERAL PARTS) IN GREENSBURG, PA, VARIOUS LOCATIONS ON ROUTE 30 IN GREENSBURG, PA, CAMEO LANE, GREENSBURG, PA, TWIN LAKES PARK, AND GEORGE'S STATION ROAD IN GREENSBURG, PA, AS WELL AS ROUTE 217 IN DERRY, PA AND INDIANA, PA. THIS WAS TAKEN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN GREENSBURG, PA TWINCE FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT CLAIMED THE FIRST TIME IT WAS IN, THAT IT WAS A FAULTY BRAKE SWITCH, AND REPLACED IT FOR $217.00. THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND IT WAS BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP A WEEK LATER. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL WEBSITES, INCLUDING A NEWS STATION THAT COVERED THIS ISSUE (WITH A FATAL ACCIDENT) AND NISSAN HAS NEVER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IN ANY OF THE CASES.

ON OR ABOUT JANUARY 19, 2019 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AT THE INTERCEPTION OF ROSCOE AND WOODMAN AVE. IN PANORAMA CITY, CALIFORNIA AND WHEREAS WITH NO WARNING NOR ANY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN I TRIED TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE BUT INSTEAD THE TRANSMISSION STALLED AND ENDED UP THRUSTING THE VEHICLE FORWARD ONLY TO LEAVE ME THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERCEPTION AND EXPOSED TO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND OF WHICH IT CAME TO SCREECHING STOP AND LITERALLY COMING WITHIN INCHES OF POSSIBLY T-BONING OUR VEHICLE AND OR CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

COOLING FAN-AFTER TURNING ON THE VEHICLE AND THE A/C A KNOCKING AND RATTLING NOISE CAME FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN I TOOK IT IN, THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS A "WARPED COOLING FAN" AND THAT IF IT BREAKS COMPLETELY WILL NOT COOL THE ENGINE AND WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL AS WELL. THE VEHICLE IS A 2015 WITH 54,000 MILES ON IT. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS AND HAVE OWNED IT FOR 1.5 YEARS. A VEHICLE WITH THIS MILEAGE AND AGE SHOULD NOT HAVE REPAIRS OF THIS MAGNITUDE.

WHEN DRIVING AND PUSHING THE GAS THE CAR WILL NOT GO, IT SEEMS IT GETS STUCK AND THE CAR JUST DOESNT MOVE, AFTER PUSHING THE GAS HARD A FEW TIMES AND SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC THE CAR THEN GOES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY FIXED IT BY REPLACING A PART. AFTER MAYBE 1000 MILES LATER IT STARTS DOING IT AGAIN. TAKE IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND THIS WAS AT 59K WHICH HAD ME MAD AS THE WARRANTY WOULD BE EXPIRING SOON AND THE DEALER SAYS TO BAD WE WILL BE AT FAULT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS HAPPENS ON A STREET. AND IS VERY SCARY WHEN PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF CARS AND THEN THE CAR WONT GO.

ONGOING ISSUE FOR THREE YEARS! PLEASE HELP! CRUISE CONTROL DROPS OUT WHILE TOWING. WE ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD! I HAD MY GRANDSON WITH ME!! THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS UNRESOLVED. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS AND MESSAGES TO CONTACT CHARLOTTE AT 6157257808 OVER THE COURSE OF AT LEAST THREE-FOUR WEEKS, I HAVE RESOLVED THE FACT THAT NISSAN DOES NOT CARE ABOUT MY ISSUE. HENCE I WILL BE CONTACTING THE BBB TO GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED TO MY SATISFACTION. I AM IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW CAR AND IT WILL NOT BE NISSAN.

TRANSMISSION WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS HAPPENS ANYTIME AT ANY SPEED, THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO SPEED UP. WAS MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY AND PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATION JUST A LITTLE BIT AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO SPEED UP. ALL IT DID FOR A FEW SECONDS WAS SHAKE AND SHIMMY THE VEHICLE. FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS HAVING ISSUES. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN AT 30,000 MILES WITH THE VEHICLE THAT WAS JUST BARELY 2 YEARS OLD. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION BUT AN OUTDATED SOFTWARE FOR CVS TRASNMISSSION, THEY UPDATED IT AND THE VEHICLE HAS WAY HIGHER RPMS WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS EVERY SO LITTLE AND THE TRANSMISSION STILL DOES THE SAME ISSU AS BEFORE. NISSAN STILL STATES NOTHING IS WRONG. I BEG TO DIFFER WHEN I'M GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES AND DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH BY BEING HIT WHEN VEHICLE WON'T SPEED UP BUT WANTS TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY THE ENTIRE VEHICLE FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN GO IS A SAFETY ISSUE!

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, MY NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE EITHER AT A STOP OR DURING NORMAL SPEED. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT STALL, BUT WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE ALMOST AT IDLE SPEED. THE SYMPTOM OF THE PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR A COUPLE OF TIME THEN THE SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD DISPLAY AND STAY ON UNTIL THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED, I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES DEMONSTRATING THE ISSUE AS DESCRIBED FOR WHEN THE INDICATOR SLIP LIGHT FOR THE LIMITED SLIP CONTROL WOULD DISPLAY IN CLEAR CONDITIONS. THIS WOULD OCCUR IN IDEAL WEATHER CONDITIONS AND ROAD CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND MY FOOT WAS DEFINITELY NOT ENGAGING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE. I COULD DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH NO IMPACT ON ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO FAILURE TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK IN THE VEHICLE INTO D-PATRICK NISSAN IN EVANSVILLE, INDIANA SEVERAL TIMES AND TO ANDY MOHR NISSAN, INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA. IN BOTH CASES, THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DETECT ANY ISSUES WITH CODE ERRORS OR REPLICATE THE ISSUE EVEN AFTER I PROVIDE PHOTO EVIDENCE OF THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING. THE FAILURE TO ACCELERATE IS SO RANDOM AND CAN HAPPEN SEVERAL DAYS IN ONE WEEK OR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN I KNOW IT WILL NOT CHANGE UNTIL I CAN SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE AND RESTART. SOME INSTANCES THE FAILURE TO ACCELERATE WOULD PERSIST BUT MOST OF THE TIME IS WOULD CORRECT ITSELF AFTER RESTARTING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH MY WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN IN IT. I FINALLY DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT AFTER I FOUND ANOTHER NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNER WHO WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH HIS NISSAN PATHFINDER.

2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED FROM A STOPPED POSITION. 3 DIFFERENT TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY WIFE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME AS WE WERE TRYING TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION.AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND WE TRIED TO GO IT ONLY IDLED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION WE GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP IT'S BEEN THERE A WEEK SO FAR. VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN AUG 2015. I PURCHASED IT USED BUT CERTIFIED! PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THE PROBLEMS THEY HAD WITH THE 2013-2014 MODELS ARE CONTINUING. I HAVE HEARD IT MIGHT BE THE TRANSMISSION? ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED ACCORDING TO CARFAX, INCLUDING AT 9,774 AN ENGINE POWER TRAIN COMPUTER MODULE REPROGRAMMED. CERTIFICATION WAS DONE BY NISSAN ON 8/21/2018 AND PURCHASED BY US.ON 9/2/2017. ANY HELP TO KEEP ME AND MY WIFE SAFE WILL BE APPRECIATED.
