Latches/locks/linkages, hood, latchJun 13, 2022
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Pathfinder vehicles. On certain Pathfinder vehicles, the secondary hood latch may malfunction and remain in the unlatched, unsecured, position when the hood is closed.
An unsecured hood could unexpectedly open while driving, obstructing the driver's view, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the bell crank assembly, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed March 26, 2025. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall are R22A2 R22A3 and R24B7.

Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchJan 20, 2021
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Nissan Pathfinder vehicles. The location of the brake light switch may cause the brake light switch relay to repeatedly open and close. Overtime, this can cause the relay to stick in the "ON" position, with the brake lights remaining illuminated even when the brakes are not applied. Additionally, this may interfere with the brake-shift interlock, allowing the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "Park" position, without depressing the brake pedal.
Continual illumination of the brake lights can prevent other drivers from realizing the vehicle is actually slowing down, increasing the risk of a crash. With the brake override activated, the driver will not be able to accelerate normally, increasing the risk of a crash. The driver can shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, either re-install the brake light switch or swap positions with the Automatic Speed Control Device (ASCD) switch; depending on the model year vehicle. In addition, the brake light relay will be replaced with a new one. All repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began March 1, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall PC786. Note: this recall supersedes 16V-380.

Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchMay 31, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Pathfinder vehicles manufactured June 20, 2012, to June 13, 2013. The brake light switch may have been installed incorrectly causing the relay to make intermittent contact and repeatedly cycle. This may result in the relay remaining in the "ON" position, causing the brake lights to remain illuminated even when the brakes are not applied. Additionally, the brake light switch may interfere with the brake-shift interlock, allowing the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "Park" position, without depressing the brake pedal.
If the brake override is activated, the driver will not be accelerate normally, increasing the risk of a crash. If the brake lights remain illuminated, other drivers may fail to stop when the vehicle actually brakes, increasing the risk of a crash. If the driver inadvertently shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, the vehicle may rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake light switch and, as necessary, replace the relay, free of charge. The recall began on July 25, 2016. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationApr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

Air bags, frontalOct 20, 2015
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Altima and Pathfinder vehicles, 2013-2014 Nissan Sentra vehicles, 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles, 2014-2015 Infiniti QX60 vehicles and 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid vehicles. The affected vehicles received an incorrect occupant classification system (OCS) control unit during a repair. These OCS control units may incorrectly classify the front passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

VEHICLE WHEN STATIONARY AND IN PARK INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR SUCH AS DRIVE OR REVERSE EVEN WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS CAUSES THE MOTORIST TO BECOME IMMOBILE. ONE SAFETY CONCERN IS A SCENARIO WHEN A MOTORIST PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK WHILE WAITING AT AN OPEN DRAW BRIDGE, TRAIN CROSSING OR OTHER SITUATION THAT THE MOTORIST PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK THEREBY MAKING THE VEHICLE IMMOBILE IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. ADDITIONALLY A MOTORIST CAN BECOME STRANDED IN A REMOTE LOCATION WITH NO COMMUNICATION SERVICES AVAILABLE. AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR THIS CONDITION HAS UNCOVERED NUMEROUS OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS VERY SAME CONDITION ON SAME OR SIMILAR NISSAN VEHICLES. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT A COMPONENT OR COMPONENTS, SUCH AS RELAY SWITCHES OR SOLENOID(S) MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SAFETY INTERLOCK BECOMING STUCK THEREBY PREVENTING THE MOTORIST FROM SHIFTING THE VEHICLE INTO THE DESIRED GEAR.

WHEN BRAKING, I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING AT STOP LIGHTS. EVEN WHEN THE PEDAL DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THE BRAKES ARE "SOFT". MANY TIMES, THE BRAKES DO NOT SEEM TO START WORKING UNTIL THE PEDAL IS PRESSED DOWN ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. SPEED DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR, THE BRAKES JUST DON'T WORK. UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THERE IS A HIGH-PITCHED SQUEAL THAT CAN ONLY BE HEARD INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN 4 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE WITH NO PERMANENT RESOLUTION. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITHOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STEPPING IN, BE IT NHTSA OR THE COURTS - MOST OF US CANNOT AFFORD TO GO THE THE LEGAL ROUTE AS WE'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH ON "BAND-AID" REPAIRS AT NISSAN. PLEASE TAKE SOME ACTION ON THIS MATTER, TOO MANY LIVES ARE AT STAKE. WE'LL NEVER HAVE ZERO FATALITIES WHEN A MANUFACTURER IS ALLOWED TO PRODUCE UNSAFE VEHICLES WITHOUT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. AT A MINIMUM, NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES TO EITHER SOLVE THE PROBLEM OR FIND A WAY TO GET THEIR DANGEROUS VEHICLES OFF OF OUR ROADS WITHOUT PENALIZING THE CONSUMERS THAT TRUSTED NISSAN TO PROVIDE A SAFE VEHICLE.

MY GEAR SHIFT NO LONGER WORKS AND I HAVE BEEN PUTTING A SCREWDRIVER IN TO MANUALLY OVERRIDE IT FOR OVER A YEAR. YESTERDAY, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE BRAKE WOULDN'T ENGAGE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF AND PUT IT BACK ON THE BRAKE AND AGAIN THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED AND IT WORKED FINE. I HAVE READ THIS MAY HAVE TO DO WITH A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND THIS IS ALSO RELATED TO THE SHIFTING PROBLEM, BUT NISSAN SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. I WAS PUTTING UP WITH THE GEAR SHIFT AS I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A SAFETY RISK BUT I DEFINITELY COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE YESTERDAY.

COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY, BAD BEARINGS IN FAN MOTORS. LOUD NOISE DUE TO BAD BEARINGS IN FAN. OCCURS PRIMARILY WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER CLUTCH ENGAGES AND COOLING FANS COME ON. ALSO OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN COOLING FANS COME ON. LOUD ROARING NOISE.

I AM REPORTING THIS AFTER READING HOW COMMON THIS ISSUE IS IN 2013-2017 NISSAN PATHFINDERS AND THE RATES DEALERS ARE CHARGING FOR THE REPAIR. I SAW ONLINE THAT DEALERS CHARGE $850.00 TO 1250.00. MY LOCAL DEALER CHARGES $980.00 PLUS TAX. I PAID $176.00 FOR THE PART AND IT TOOK ME UNDER 90 MINUTES TO INSTALL AFTER WATCHING A YOUTUBE VIDEO. THIS WAS A REPAIR ANYONE COULD DO THAT DIDN'T MIND A LITTLE GRIME ON THEIR HANDS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT INSTEAD OF ISSUING A RECALL ON A CLEARLY FLAWED PART, THAT NISSAN IS VIEWING THIS AS A MONEY MAKER FOR THEIR DEALERSHIPS.
