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.

DRIVING 35 MPH ON CITY STREET, NO CARS IN IMMEDIATE VICINITY, NO OVERPASSES OR BRIDGES, NO LOW-HANGING TREES AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING LARGE HAD BEEN DROPPED ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXAMINED THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THERE WERE NO SIGNS THAT ANYTHING HAD FALLEN ONTO THE CAR AS THERE WAS NO PAINT DAMAGE OR DENTS. HOWEVER, THE ENTIRE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. UPON REMOVING THE BROKEN GLASS FROM THE AREA, IT WAS CLEAR THERE WAS NOTHING INSIDE THE SUNROOF AREA THAT HAD IMPACTED THE GLASS.

2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER DRIVER'S INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE / MECHANISM BROKE: JUST DROVE HOME & PARKED IN MY GARAGE...THEN, WHILE TRYING TO EXIT MY CAR LIKE USUAL, USING THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE LOCATION, SOMETHING IN THE DOOR MADE A NOISE AND HANDLE STOPPED WORKING AND WILL NOT UNLOCK NOR OPEN THE DOOR...!. IN ORDER TO EXIT THE CAR FROM THE DRIVER POSITION, I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO REACH THE OUTSIDE HANDLE (WHICH WORKS) OR HAVE SOMEONE OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR FROM OUTSIDE...! THIS IS DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE, CANNOT EXIT THE CAR, IN A SAFE AMOUNT OF TIME..! IT IS CLEARLY REALLY POOR ENGINEERING & QUALITY ON NISSAN'S PART...AND SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO OVERALL SAFETY ISSUE....

THE DOOR HANDLES ON THIS VEHICLE BREAK. THEY REPAIR THEM, AND THEY BREAK AGAIN. MY DEAL IS THIS IS A POINT OF EGRESS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. HOW CAN THEY JUSTIFY MAKING CUSTOMERS PAY FOR A PART THEY KNOW WAS DESIGNED TERRIBLY. ON TOP OF THAT, IF MY CAR CATCHES ON FIRE....HOW CAN THEY JUSTIFY MAKING ME CLIMB OVER SEATS TO GET OUT. THERE ARE BUSINESSES FINED FOR HAVING THE WRONG KIND OF DOOR RELEASE ON THEIR DOORS. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT.

SUNVISOR FAILS TO HOLD AND WILL ULTIMATELY FALL IN THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT WITH NO WAY TO SECURE CREATING A VISIBILITY HAZARD. EVEN IF THE VISOR IS REPLACED BY NISSAN IT WILL FAIL AGAIN DUE TO THE FLAWED DESIGN. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THEIR SUNVISORS. I WAS ADVISED TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT BY NUMEROUS THREADS, FORUMS, AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

VEHICLE RADIATOR COOLING FAN IS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION I'VE CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS A BAD BUSHING/BEARING IN 1 OF THE 2 FANS OF THE DUAL RADIATOR (DRIVERS SIDE). THE NOISE IS DUE TO THE FAN WOBBLING WHILE RUNNING UP TO 1/4 INCH OR SO. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WHICH TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. I HAVE PRICED ONE AT A PARTS STORE AND WAS QUOTED ~$800. THIS ISSUE IF LEFT UNCHECKED NOT ONLY IS VERY NOISY, BUT COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE AS THIS IS WHAT COOLS THE FLUID THAT COOLS THE ENGINE. I HAVE ALSO FOUND COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME SPECIFIC ISSUE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE MODELS. THIS IS OCCURRING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN PARK IDLING AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOW JUST HANGS IN MY LINE OF SIGHT UNLESS I PUSH IT OVER TO THE SIDE, WHICH ALSO OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. WE HAVE TRIED USING VELCRO BUT THE STICKY SIDE FALLS OFF WHEN IT GETS COLD IN THE VEHICLE. IT HAS FALLEN AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD ONCE WHILE DRIVING WHICH SCARED ME AND MADE ME JERK THE STEERING WHEEL. LUCKY IT DIDN'T CAUSE ME TO CRASH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT CORRECTED.

THE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS PRONE TO BREAKING, WHICH MEANS ONE CANNOT QUICKLY EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. MINE BROKE AND, FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME I WASN'T SURE HOW I COULD GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING, OR THE BATTERY IS INOPERATIVE, ONE CANNOT ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO GET OUT THAT WAY. THE CONSOLE MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, FOR THE DRIVER TO EXIT THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT YOU CAN ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW, OR THAT YOU ARE PHYSICALLY ABLE TO CLIMB OVER THE CONSOLE AND EXIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPLACE ISSUE. THE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A HANDLE THAT WILL ALWAYS OPEN THE DOOR. OBVIOUSLY, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE PART NUMBER FOR THE REPLACEMENT HANDLE IS: 80671-3TAOD. IF NEEDED, I CAN PROVIDE A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE BROKEN PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE AND THE REPAIR INVOICE. I AM REQUESTING THAT NISSAN COVER THE CHARGES FOR THE REPAIR, BUT MY GREATER CONCERN IS THAT SOMEONE WILL BE TRAPPED IN A BURNING CAR, OR SOME EMERGENCY SITUATION.

ON 08/16/2016 I PURCHASED A MOTOR VEHICLE FROM STAR NISSAN LOCATED AT 5757 W. TOUHY AVE., NILES, IL 60714 (2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER SUV VIN). ON OCTOBER OF 2016 I WAS DRIVING IN THE EXPRESS WAY GOING 60MPH AND MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE I HAD OTHER VEHICLE PASSING ME BY AT 60+ MPH. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE TO AVOID GETTING HIT IN THE REAR. THE VEHICLE FINALLY TOOK OFF BUT NOT WITHOUT JERKING AND RATTLING NOISES. I IMMEDIATELY CAME OFF THE EXPRESS WAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO STAR NISSAN AND THEY ADMITTED MY CAR ON 10/22/2016. I WAS CONTACTED BY NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLICATED THE PROBLEM AND THE CVT WOULD NEED TO BE CHANGED AND EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FINE. THE CHANGES WERE MADE AND ON 10/28/2016 I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER ON 11/12/2016, 11/16/2016, 04/22/2017, 07/12/2017 7/28/2017 WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN RECTIFIED. ON 07/01/2017 MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN BY A NISSAN SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOR 237 MILES IN ORDER TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL BUT NOW STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A RELAY LIGHT. THEY GAVE ME THE VEHICLE BACK ON 07/06/2017. MY VEHICLE WAS ADMITTED AGAIN ON 07/25/2017 WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE TECHNICIAN HAD TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE 344 MILES TO REPLICATE THE SYMPTOMS ONCE AGAIN. HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS ADMITTED UNTIL 08/17/2017. THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE SENT OUT AN ENGINEER WHO MADE RECOMMENDATIONS. THE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REMOVE BRAKE LIGHT RELAY AND REPLACE BRAKE SWITCH. I WAS GIVEN THE VEHICLE BACK AND THE PROBLEMS HAS PERSIST. ON 11/13/2017 MY CAR JERKED AND CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN A PART OF AN ACCIDENT ON SEVERAL OCCASION DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOW CAR-LESS BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.
