Recalls and investigations
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.

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED THE 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER, NOVEMBER 2012. WE TRADED IN OUR CHEVROLET TAHOE AND DECIDED WITH GAS PRICES INCREASING WE NEEDED A VEHICLE THAT WE CAN SAVE A LITTLE ON. WE PUT OUR TRUST IN NISSAN. ABOUT 11 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING, I WAS LEAVING WORK AND BACKED OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE PROCEEDED TO THE STOP SIGN. AT THE STOP SIGN I ACCELERATED AND IT MOVED FORWARD A FEW FEET, THEN IT MADE A LOUD NOISE. BEFORE I KNEW IT THE CAR WAS ON, BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. THE GOOD THING IS I HAD A PERSON BEHIND ME THAT NOTICED I HAD CAR PROBLEMS AND PUSHED THE CAR OUT OF THE LANES OF TRAFFIC. GOT THE CAR TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND THEY JUST INFORMED US THAT THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THE CARD IS NOT WORKING. THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING INTO GEAR, JUST NOT MOVING. NOW THEIR SHOP MANAGER HAS DECIDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS ONE WEEK THAT WE HAVE BEEN IN A RENTAL....SHOULD GET OUR CAR FRIDAY. WILL MY CAR EVER DRIVE THE SAME AGAIN WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION ? *TR
Power train, Structure, Oct 28, 2013
WE, LIKE MANY OTHER OWNERS, ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN OUR 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER 4X4. AT LOW SPEED ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND POWER IS LOST -- CANNOT SPEED UP. ALSO HAPPENS AT HIGH/HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT A DANGEROUS ONE, BOTH WHEN TRYING TO SPEED UP FROM ROLLING START OR WHEN PASSING/ACCELERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN, TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY SAY THEY WILL REPLACE TORQUE CONVERTER. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP BUT MOST OTHER OWNERS REPORTING SIMILAR ISSUES SAY THESE ARE NOT FIXES AND PROBLEMS RECUR. WILL REPORT BACK. BEYOND THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE, OUR HOOD ALSO BUFFETS SIGNIFICANTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT VISIBLY SHAKES AND WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE AND IT WASN'T DANGEROUS. *TR
Service brakes, Oct 27, 2013, crash
AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW IN NOVEMBER 2013, I NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. AFTER ALMOST GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH MY WIFE AND 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, I WENT TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT ON JAN 29 2013 AND EXPLAINED THAT "AT TIMES ABOUT ONCE TO TWICE A MONTH, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP PROPERLY AND ONLY SLOWED DOWN. THE SERVICE DEPT. KEPT THE VEHICLE, ONLY TO RETURN IT AND SAID THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONDITION PERSISTED ONLY ONCE TO TWICE A MONTH. I STATED ON A OIL SERVICE THAT THIS ISSUE STILL PERSISTED. ON OCTOBER 21, 2013 I WAS TRAVELING TO WORK ON A MAJOR BRIDGE WHEN ALL TRAFFIC CAME TO A HALT. MY VEHICLE JUST WENT OVER ONE OF THE BRIDGE'S METAL EXPANSION JOINTS WHICH IS A LITTLE BUMP WHEN I NEEDED TO BRAKE. MY APPROX SPEED WAS 30 MPH AT THE TIME I NEEDED TO STOP. AGAIN, WITH THE SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND I REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AS I SWERVED RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE LANE TO AVOID A TOTAL DOMINO EFFECT OF REAR-ENDING VEHICLES, I WAS THE T-BONED BY ANOTHER ONCOMING VEHICLE. ALL OF MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND DAMAGE WAS TO MY DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AND ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE. AN ESTIMATE OF $19,000.00 WAS FIGURED BY THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER. 2 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT ON OCTOBER 23, 2013, NISSAN ISSUED A TOTAL RECALL OF THE 2013 PATHFINDER. THE RECALL STEMS FROM A FLAW IN THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SOFTWARE. THE BULLETIN SAYS THAT "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, DURING LIGHT BRAKING ON ROUGH ROADS, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) BRAKE PRESSURE OUTPUT SOFTWARE MAY LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE". AND OF COURSE, THE LONGER IT TAKES TO STOP A VEHICLE, THE GREATER THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CRASH. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON OCTOBER 24, 2013 AND AM STILL AWAITING A RETURN PHONE CALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR FAILED TO RESPOND TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY DECELERATED WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE COMPUTER WOULD NEED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,402. UPDATED 11/26/13*CN ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE, THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. ALSO, THE ROOF WAS LOOSE, DUE TO THE MOLDING NOT HOLDING THE CLIP IN PLACE. UPDATED 12/02/13

I JUST FILED A COMPLAINT LAST WEEK REGARDING MY AIR BAG ON MY 2 MONTH OLD PATHFINDER AND THIS WEEK I HAD TROUBLE WITH MY TRANSMISSION. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AGO WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY MY CAR SEEMED TO GET STUCK IN SECOND GEAR AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 30 MPH. THE RPMS WERE GOING UP TO 7000 WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL POWER. THIS ONLY LASTED FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THE DEALER CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND SAID THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT AND THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A COMMUNICATION PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEK, AGAIN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY. THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE HIGHWAY WAS 55 AND MY PATHFINDER WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 30-35 MILES PER HOUR FOR 1/4 TO 1/2 MILE. IT IS QUITE DISCONCERTING WHEN A TRACTOR TRAILER RIDES UP ON YOUR BUMPER GOING AT LEAST 55 MILES AN HOUR AND YOU HAVE NO POWER TO ACCELERATE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. ONCE AGAIN, NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH SO I AM SURE THAT WHEN I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER NEXT WEEK THEY ARE GOING TO ONCE AGAIN TELL ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CAN JUST STOP RESPONDING LIKE THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW NISSAN CAN USE THE EXCUSE "BECAUSE IT DIDN'T TRIGGER A INTERNAL WARNING WITH THE COMPUTER, NOTHING IS WRONG." CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG AND SINCE NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT. IM FED UP OF GOING TO THE NISSAN TO FIX SOMETHING EVERY FEW WEEKS. THE HEADLIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED ON 2/4/13 THE DAY AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE. THE RIGHT SIDE STOPPED WORKING SO THE SOCKET WAS CHANGED ON 2/7/13. ON 5/2/13 A FACTORY RECALL WAS COMPLETED. ON 7/30/13 THE WIND SHIELD WASHER PUMP FAILED AND THE PART WAS ORDERED. SAME DAY 7/30/13 PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF WHILE ADULT IS IN SEAT. NISSAN PERFORMED A ZERO POINT RESET AND LIGHT WENT OFF. ON 8/24 WASHER PUMP WAS REPLACED. AROUND 9/30/13 THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF AGAIN WITH ADULT IN SEAT. ON 10/15/13 THEY REPLACED OCS SENSOR FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG. ON 10/20/13 THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AGAIN. NISSAN IS ASKING ME IF IM SITTING WELL ON THE SEAT OR MAYBE IM NOT HEAVY ENOUGH. IM 180LBS. JUST IMAGINE IF MY LITTLE SISTER (A MINOR) IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THIS IS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY AND I REALLY NEED SOME HELP. *TR

RECEIVED MY PATHFINDER BACK AFTER 15 DAYS IN THE SHOP FOR REPLACEMENT OF ABS MODULATOR AND SHUTTERING IN THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. TOLD ME THEY DID A MODIFICATION TO THE TRANSMISSION TO STOP THE SHUTTERING. SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THERE WAS STILL A SHUTTER AT AROUND 20-30 MILES AN HOUR AND THAT WAS JUST HOW THE VEHICLE RAN. LEFT FOR A 500 MILE TRIP DAY AFTER PICKING UP FOR THESE FIXES. ON THE HWY. IT LOST POWER ON HILLS AND SHUTTER WAS HARDER THEN BEFORE. RPM'S WERE HIGHER THAN NORMAL WHICH DECREASED GAS MILEAGE BY 5 MPG. CALLED SERVICE DEPT. AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE OVERDRIVE OFF. VEHICLE DID RUN SLIGHTLY BETTER ON THE HWY. BUT ONCE ON SURFACE STREETS IT WOULD HESITATE (NOT MOVE FOR 2-5 SECONDS) AND THEN LUNGE FORWARD WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. OTHER TIMES IT WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. WHEN IN REVERSE IT WOULD NOT MOVE THEN WOULD JERK BACKWARDS. ALSO WOULD ROLL FORWARD ON A SLIGHT DECLINE EVEN WHEN IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. FINALLY ON THE WAY BACK HOME THE VEHICLE'S RPM'S WENT TO 5000 AND GOT STUCK THERE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AT NEAREST EXIT. ON THE OFF RAMP VEHICLE STOP MOVING. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND US. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION HAS 3 MODULATORS THAT WENT OUT. VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS AND THE TRANSMISSION IS BACK ORDERED. NISSAN CORPORATE HAS CONTACTED ME AND WANTS TO DO A REPURCHASE OR REPLACEMENT. REPLACEMENT WOULD ONLY MEAN THAT WE WOULD BE GETTING THE SAME DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION BUT IN A DIFFERENT PATHFINDER. REPURCHASE MEANS WE ARE OUT A LOT OF MONEY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY PATHFINDER IN NOVEMBER 2012. AT ABOUT 1000 MILES INTO OWNERSHIP (LESS THAN A MONTH, MY VEHICLE STARTED SHUDDERING AND ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE FIRST SERVICE THEY TOLD ME THEY CHECKED FOR IT AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THEN THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IT BACK IN FOR A COMPUTER UPDATE. IT STILL SHUDDERED. AT THE NEXT SERVICE REPEAT THE SAME SCENARIO AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AGAIN. THE SHUDDER IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE AT THIS POINT. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK FOR THE 3RD SERVICE I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AGAIN. REPEAT ONE MORE TIME IN 9/13 AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN ON 10/7 AND I PICKED IT UP ON 10/8. I LEFT FOR A BEACH 800 MILE TRIP ON 10/9 AND THE SHUDDERING IS STILL HAPPENING AND NOW WHEN I TURN MY WHEELS WHILE SLOWING DOWN (ENTERING MY GARAGE/BRAKING IN A CURVE) THE BRAKES WILL NOT HOLD AND THE VEHICLE WILL SURGE AS IF OUT OF CONTROL. IF I LEAVE IT RUNNING FOR A 10 OR SO MINUTES IN PARK THEN TRY TO PUT IT IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE TRIES TO SURGE AWAY FROM ME AS IF I CANNOT CONTROL IT UNLESS HOLDING THE BRAKES DOWN. LAST WEEK THE VEHICLE JUMPED ACROSS 2 LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC THEN QUIT. I QUICKLY STARTED IT AGAIN AND JUMPED INTO A PARKING LOT. THE DEALER PICKED IT UP AND TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. IN FACT THEY SAID IT WAS DRIVER ERROR. THE LAST I HEARD WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS THE CAR SHOULD GO AND WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKES THE CAR SHOULD STOP. IT IS NOW SITTING IN THE DEALER PARKING LOT BECAUSE I AM EXTREMELY AFRAID OF IT. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS JUST FINE AND TO COME AND GET IT. I ALMOST DIED LAST WEEK IN IT AND IT IS NOT SAFE. THE DEALER WILL NOT HELP ME NOR CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT NISSAN ARE HELPING ME. NO ONE SHOULD BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. SO NOW I AM OUT $44,000 FOR AN UNSAFE CAR. *TR

MY PATHFINDER HAS A BUILD DATE OF NOV. 2012. TWO TIMES NOW THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THAT AN ADULT IS OCCUPYING THE SEAT. IT CAN BE RESET BY STOPPING THE CAR, TURNING IT OFF GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, AND REENTERING AND START BACK UP. IT THEN WORKS AS NORMAL. THE DEALER TELLS ME IT IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM AND HE WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO REPAIR WHEN HE CAN WITNESS IT. I SHOWED HIM A PICTURE WITH THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON AND THE SEAT OCCUPIED AT 70 MPH. I NOTICED IT AFTER EXITING A REST STOP ON I-10 AND DROVE TO THE NEXT REST STOP BEFORE STOPPING TO RESET. CHANGING SEATING POSITION WHILE DRIVING HAD NO EFFECT AT ALL. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERING PROBLEM: TRAVELING ON LOS OSOS VALLEY ROAD, SLO CA. ACCELERATED OUT OF A TURN TO ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR; WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED 5 TO 6 TIMES. MINIMAL LOSS OF POWER, AND THEN RESUMED TO NORMAL. FEELS LIKE VEHICLE IS GOING OVER SPEED BUMS, BUT THERE ARE NONE. THIS 2013 PATHFINDER IS NEW, WITH 2200 MILES ON IT. THIS IS NOW THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE SHUTTERING SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN COMING OUT OF TURNS, WHILE ACCELERATING UP TO 30-35 MILES PER HOUR. NISSAN NEEDS TO COME CLEAN ON THIS ISSUE. SO FAR, THEY ARE PLAYING "TAKE INTO A AUTHORIZE SERVICE DEALER". MOST LIKELY, NISSAN KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM AND IS HOPING THAT ALL NEW 2013 PATHFINDER OWNERS WILL ACT AS A "VEHICLE DELIVERY SERVICE" TO RESOLVE NISSAN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. NOT QUITE. . *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER SL. THE FIRST DAY THAT I SAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT (DAY 2 OF OWNERSHIP), WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED STATING THAT THE AIR BAG WAS OFF AND WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN CALIBRATION PROBLEM WITH THE PATHFINDER'S SEAT SENSORS AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY CAR, BUT THAT IT NEEDED TO BE RECALIBRATED, WHICH IT WAS. AFTER HAVING THE CAR BACK FOR 1 WEEK, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE I WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS SEATED "PROPERLY" AS DESCRIBED IN THE USER'S MANUAL. THE CAR WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY PARTICULAR CAR, THEY REPLACED THE SEAT SENSORS BECAUSE IT WAS A "SAFETY ISSUE." TWO WEEKS AFTER HAVING THE CAR BACK THE LIGHT IS ONCE AGAIN COMING ON WHEN I SIT NORMAL AND UPRIGHT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE HEAD TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW TELLING ME THAT THE CAR IS ACTING IN MY BEST INTEREST TO INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF THE AIRBAG LIGHT WHEN I AM SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF MY SIZE. I AM A 5'4, 120 LB FEMALE. I FEEL THAT IF I AM SITTING UPRIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE SEAT, AS A NORMAL SIZE ADULT, THE AIRBAG SHOULD NOT BE DISENGAGED. IF IT IS CALIBRATED TO DISENGAGE FOR A 120LB ADULT SEATED PROPERLY, THEN IT SHOULD CONSISTENTLY DO SO, NOT INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON AND OFF WITHOUT A CHANGE IN POSITION. NISSAN HAS TOLD ME THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAT CAN BE DONE. *TR

DRIVING 45 MILES PER HOUR ON A STRAIGHT LEVEL ROAD, WHILE ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY; THEN BEGAN SHUTTERING ALONG WITH A DROP IN POWER; AFTER 3 TO 4 SECONDS, THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL DRIVING. THIS WAS THE THIRD OCCURRENCE SINCE I PURCHASED THE 2013 PATHFINDER THREE MONTHS AGO. . READING NOW, NHTSA DATABASE INDICATES MULTIPLE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE PATHFINDER TRANSMISSION ISSUE. *TR

I PURCHASED THE NISSAN PATHFINDER ON AUGUST 5, 2013. WITHIN 2 WEEKS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 20-30 MILES PER HOUR AND SUDDENLY LOSE POWER. I TRIED DIFFERENT TYPES OF GASOLINE WITHOUT SUCCESS. I FINALLY BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEPTEMBER 13. THEY SAID IT NEEDED A "SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION", THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART AND I COULD BRING IT BACK THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY. I BROUGHT IT IN ON WEDNESDAY. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE AN ALL DAY JOB. NEAR THE END OF THE DAY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART DIDN'T FIT AND THEY HAD ORDERED ANOTHER ONE.IT WOULD BE IN THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. THEY ARRANGED FOR ME TO GET A RENTAL CAR. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR ANOTHER TEN DAYS. THEY CALLED FOR ME TO PICK IT UP. WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM THE RENTAL AGENCY, WITH THE SERVICE ADVISOR IN THE CAR, IT DID IT AGAIN! THEY DID NOT OFFER ANOTHER RENTAL OR TO TAKE IT BACK AND FIX IT, SO I TOOK IT HOME. A WEEK LATER, THE SHUDDERING WAS SO BAD, THAT I TOOK IT BACK IN AGAIN. THEY ORDERED AN ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION (ANOTHER WEEK TO RECEIVE THE PART AND INSTALL IT). (WHY PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN A NEW CAR THAT ALREADY HAS A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT HAD BEEN REBUILT ONCE ALREADY WHEN THEY PUT IN THE TORQUE CONVERTER?) IT MAKES NO SENSE. MEANWHILE, I'M TERRIFIED TO HAVE TO TAKE THIS CAR BACK AGAIN. *TR

INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION SHUDDER RANGING FROM MILD TO VIOLENT WITH ACCOMPANYING DECREASE OF POWER. SHUDDER PRIMARILY OCCURS AT LOW SPEED IN THE 20-40 MPH RANGE BUT HAS ALSO OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING. SHUDDER SEEMS TO BE CAUSED BY A VARIETY OF VARIABLES INCLUDING SPEED AND DEGREE OF INCLINATION OF THE ROAD. LOSS OF POWER HAS OCCURRED IN POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PASSING SITUATIONS,TOOK TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES AND I ALREADY DID MY 3 TIMES, FIRST RESET THE COMPUTER, SECOND CHANGE THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND I KNOW THE 3 GOING TO BE THE TRANSMISSION CHANGE. *TR

VEHICLE HAS A PERIODIC SHUDDER AS IF I WAS DRIVING OVER A RIPPLE ROAD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THE SHUDDER OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS USUALLY DURING LIGHT ACCELERATIONS. OVER THE MONTHS THE SHUDDER HAS PERIODICALLY RE-OCCURRED UP TO THE PRESENT TIME. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 1,721 MILES. *TR

WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND TAPPING GAS PEDAL VERY LIGHTLY MAINTAINING SPEED WITH TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND LOST POWER. WHEN I STEPPED HARDER ON GAS PEDAL THE CAR HESITATED AND THEN WENT. IT FELT LIKE RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER IT DID IT AGAIN SO I CALLED DEALER CAUSE THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. THEY SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND TO BRING IT IN 2 DAYS LATER ON WEDS 10/3/13. I ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IT OR SHOULD I HAVE IT TOWED THEY SAID TO DRIVE IT. IT DID THE SAME THING MULTIPLE TIMES THAT DAY I WAS ABLE TO RECORD ONE EVENT ON AN IPHONE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER EARLY AS I DID NOT WANT TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH APPEARED TO BE SLIPPING AND BANGING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THERE FOR MULTIPLE DAYS ALREADY AND THEY PREDICT AT LEAST TWO WEEKS AT WHICH TIME THEY PLAN TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REMANUFACTURED TRANS. I SAID I WOULD NOT ACCEPT A USED PART/ REMANUFACTURED AS THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW AND WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW VEHICLE FOR A REASON I WANTED NEW NOT USED. WANTED NO PROBLEMS HUH THEY REFERRED ME TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY ARE REVIEWING THE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER AND WILL GET BACK TO ME 10/8/13 A WEEK HAS ALREADY PAST AND NO RESOLUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AS IT WAS DISPLAYED AT DELIVERY AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO DEALER MINUTES AFTER DELIVERY AND WAS KEPT FOR 4 DAYS TO MAKE THAT REPAIR. ALL TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS IN SERVICE FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH AND APPEARS THAT IT WILL BE IN THE SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND NOT HAPPY WITH ANSWERS FROM NISSAN THUS FAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 43 MPH; WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES (WITHOUT STOPPING) AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS. THIS SAME OCCURRENCE HAPPENED PERIODICALLY AGAIN OVER A 2-DAY PERIOD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SHEEHY NISSAN (SHORT PUMP) IN RICHMOND AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT NISSAN WAS SENDING ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO INSTALL. MY WIFE CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA REGARDING THE VEHICLE AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER; I ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN BY EMAIL ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER AS WE HAD NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK AND FILED A COMPLIANT ASKING THAT ME VEHICLE EITHER BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER BRAND NEW 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER SL OR THAT THE ORGANIZATION REFUND MY MONEY. IN THE END NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REFUSED TO HONOR MY REQUEST AND ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *TR

HI, I BOUGHT A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER PLATINUM IN MAY. AS I HAVE LATER FOUND OUT, THE MODEL APPEARS TO HAVE A SHUDDER ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS AFFECTING MY VEHICLE AS WELL. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER (SHEEHY NISSAN MANASSAS) IN LATE AUGUST AND THEY VERIFIED THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD PARTS WERE ORDERED AND THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD BE FIXED IN 1 MONTH. IT IS NEARLY 2 MONTHS LATER AND I AM STILL WAITING ON A RESOLUTION. I MONITOR NISSAN PATHFINDER'S FACEBOOK PAGE, THEIR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ETC..... AND IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN IS TRYING DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS LIKE CHANGING TORQUE CONVERTER, REPROGRAMMING TCM, AND EVEN REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION...... AND STILL NO SOLID RESOLUTION. FURTHERMORE, THE VEHICLES NAVIGATION SYSTEM CONSTANTLY FREEZES OR DOES A HARD REBOOT. I WOULD LIKE GUIDANCE ON WHAT CAN BE DONE TO EXPEDITE A RESOLUTION OR IF I AM ENTITLED TO HAVE NISSAN BUY THE VEHICLE BACK IF THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY IMPACT OF A CONTINUED SHUDDER AND LOSS OF POWER ON THIS NEW VEHICLE. *TR
