2017 Nissan Pathfinder

I REPORTED THE BRAKES BEING NON RESPONSIVE ON 10/23/17 WHICH HAD ALSO CAUSED A MINOR ACCIDENT AS THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A BRIDGE IN WINSTON SALAM NC IN FRONT OF THE BAPTIST HOSPITAL.IT WAS MOVING STOP AND GO AND MAYBE WOULD REACH 35 MPH AND THEN IT WOULDN'T STOP. I HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES ALSO STANDING UP BUT IT CONTINUED TO COAST INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE SO SLOW I COULD SEE IT COMING BUT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. IT WAS TOOK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE COLLISION REPAIRS AND I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE. SO DURING THIS TIME BETWEEN THEN AND NOW ME AND MY WIFE WAS SCARED OF DRIVING AND WOULD BRAKE AT A FURTHER DISTANCE TO MAKE SURE WE HAD BRAKES. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ABS CONTROL UNIT AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE SHOP 11/21/18 AND WAS KEPT FOR 9 TO 10 DAYS. NOW WE HAVE BRAKES THAT WORK BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE RECALL WAS FOR A LEAKAGE NOT FOR IT BEING NON RESPONSIVE. I FEEL THAT IF IT LEAKS OR LOSSES PRESSURE IT WOULD BE THE CAUSE OF BEING UNRESPONSIVE ALSO AND IT WOULD BE NISSAN RESPONSIBLY.

WE OWN A 2015 AND A 2017 PLATINUM PATHFINDER BOTH WITH 25K MILES. THE 2017 HAS 20-30 MORE HORSEPOWER THAN THE 2015, BUT THE 2017 IS MUCH SLOWER. THE 2017 IS VERY SLUGGISH FROM 0-35MPH. THE ACCELERATION HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I'VE PUT THE HIGHEST OCTANE IN AS INSTRUCTED BY NASHVILLE NISSAN; STILL SLOW. ACCELERATING UPHILL AT LOW RPMS MAKES THE ENGINE RATTLE (ABLE TO HEAR IT WHEN DRIVING BY A STRUCTURE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE SOUND REVERB OFF BACK TO VEHICLE). TRIED MULTIPLE DIFFERENT AIR FILTERS TO HELP ENGINE BREATHE, STILL SLOW. ANY HELP WILL HELP.

I CURRENTLY HAVE 38000 MILES ON MY CAR AND HAVE ALREADY HAD THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP REPLACED PLUS THE LOW PRESSURE ONE. MY ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED LAST MONTH AND NOT MY COOLANT FAN IS MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE AND HAS TO BE REPLACE. I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THE ENTIRE VEHICLE CAUSE WITHIN A YEAR I HAVE HAD WAY TOO MANY PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE FOR BUYING THIS 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER! JUST A WASTE OF MONEY.

MY PATHFINDER HAD LESS THAN 50K MILES WHEN THE FAN ASSEMBLY STARTED MAKING A CLATTERING NOISE WHILE THE A/C WAS ON. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FAN WAS OFF BALANCE AND HITTING THE ASSEMBLY. IT QUICKLY PROGRESSED TO DOING IT SPORADICALLY WHILE THE A/C WAS TURNED OFF (IT HAPPENED IN THE FALL, SO WEATHER WAS TEMPERATE). AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, I FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE OVER A FEW YEARS' WORTH OF NISSAN MODELS. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR TSB, BUT EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED IT AND DEALERSHIP COMPED MY DEDUCTIBLE WHEN I PRODUCED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME ISSUE.

MY EMERGENCY BRAKING KEEPS SENDING ME ALERTS WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME. I'M GETTING MESSAGES THAT THE SYSTEM IS DISABLE BECAUSE OF AN OBSTRUCTION. THIS HAPPENS A LOT OF TIMES WHEN IT'S RAINING OUT. I HAVE OPEN A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CASE NUMBER 32896677. THE DEALER TELLS ME RAIN CAN EFFECT THE SYSTEM. WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD IS WHEN YOU NEED THE SYSTEM THE MOST.

MY 2017 PATHFINDER HAS ABOUT 22K MILES ON IT, HAD, PLENTY OF GAS AND OIL, BUT JUST RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30-25 MPH ON A 4-LANE ROAD. I WAS DARN LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND WASNT HIT IN THE PROCESS. THEN THE CAR WOULD START AND IMMEDIATELY DIE; AND I WOUND UP HAVING TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENED - IT SIMPLY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS IN FORWARD MOTION. THE DEALERSHIP WASN'T ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE OR TO GET A CODE BACK FROM THE COMPUTER - THEY WERE COMPLETELY CLUELESS. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN AND KILL ME, Y FAMILY OR ANYONE ELSE. *BF.. NO VIN AVAILABLE UPDATED 11/1/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JOLTED FORWARD, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NISSAN OF BRADENTON (1611 CORTEZ RD W, BRADENTON, FL 34207, (941) 755-1571) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A JUDDER CODE FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BODY BELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND, IF THE FAILURE PERSISTED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER ENTERED THE SUN ROOF AND CAUSED A MILDEW ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL SEIDLE'S NISSAN (10500 NW 12TH ST, MIAMI, FL 33172, (305) 637-5319) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED IN THAT MANNER. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,767. **TR CONSUMER STATED WATER ENTERS THE CAR VIA THE SUNROOF, WHILE CLOSED, AND ACCUMULATES IN A GUTTER TYPE CHANNEL. SOME OF THE WATER DRAINS VIA 2 DRAIN HOLES, HOWEVER SOME OF THE WATER REMAINS PONDING. IT IS WATER WHICH WITH TIME CAUSES A MILDEW SMELL IN THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE MILDEW SPORES WILL ENTER THE BODY AND HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A CAUSE OF CERTAIN AILMENTS. WHEN I MET WITH THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE AND A NISSAN DEALER SERVICE MANAGER, WE OPENED THE SUNROOF OF A NEW CAR AT THEIR LOT, AND IT HAD PONDING WATER WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY TURN INTO MILDEW. I AM SIMPLY ASKING TO END MY LEASE SO I CAN LEASE ANOTHER CAR WITH NO SUNROOF. I SUFFER FROM ALLERGIES AND THE SMELL IS REALLY AFFECTING ME. UPDATED 10/26/18*JB
