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.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Nissan Pathfinder vehicles manufactured June 20, 2012, to November 18, 2013, 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid vehicles manufactured July 18, 2013, to November 18, 2013, 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles manufactured November 29, 2011, to June 14, 2013, and 2014 QX60 vehicles manufactured May 16, 2013, to November 18, 2013, and 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid vehicles manufactured July 18, 2013, to November 18, 2013. In the affected vehicles the hood release cable assembly may have been installed incorrectly preventing the latching claw from fully engaging. The secondary latch may remain in the open position when the hood is closed.
If the primary hood latch is released and the secondary latch fails during operation of the vehicle, it could cause the hood to open during vehicle operation impairing the driver's vision, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will modify the angle of the hood release mechanism to provide additional length to the release cable, free of charge. The recall began on March 9, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

THE SUN VISORS IN MY 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARE MAKING A POPPING NOISE AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE CORRECT POSITION. THIS IS CAUSING A VISIBILITY PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING. THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING A POPPING NOISE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP AND THE DRIVER SIDE IS STARTING TO DROP.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN UPRIGHT POSITION. IT IS BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD.

BOTH "SUN" VISORS ON VERGE OF BREAKING. WHEN PUTTING DOWN OR UP, THEY WILL MAKE A SNAPPING NOISE AND HANG LOOSELY. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING THEY WILL FLOP DOWN. VISORS NEVER STAY UP PROPERLY OR SAFELY. I'VE HAD IT FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY. THEY ARE NOT SAFE! SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP, THEY WANT TO CHARGE $400 FOR THEM TO BE FIXED. THE PAIR THAT'S BREAKING IS NOT SOLD SEPARATELY. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE NOTICED THIS FOR AWHILE, BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. I AM NOW AT 6800 MILES, AND WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY LAST NIGHT, MY GAS GAUGE READ THAT I HAD 86 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS MORNING, TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, I ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD 56 MILES TO EMPTY. WHEN I GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT NOT EVEN A MILE AWAY WITH THE SCHOOL TO MY LEFT, MY LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, AND BY THE TIME I TURNED INTO THE PARKING LOT, 2 MINUTES LATER, MY ELECTRONIC GAUGE WAS BLINKING AT ME AND THE ACTUAL GAS GAUGE WAS AT 0. I THEN HAD TO WAIT IN THE DROP OFF LINE HOPING I WOULDN'T RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE I WAS DROPPING THEM OFF. (I WOULD OF TOTALLY RUINED THEIR LIVES HAHA!) I WAS SO NERVOUS DRIVING, TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE GAS STATION. I MADE IT. FILLED ALL THE WAY UP AND IT ONLY ALLOWED ME TO FILL UP 15 GALLONS. NOT MY NORMAL 16. SO APPARENTLY IT JUST WANTED TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK EARLY THIS MORNING. HOW AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT? GUESS? JUST KEEP IT TOPPED OFF EVERY [XXX] DAY? DUMB. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I PURCHASED MY PATHFINDER USED, AND THIS ISSUE HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. SUN VISORS HANG TOO LOW AND BLOCK MY VIEW WHEN DRIVING. THE MECHANISM SOUNDS BROKEN DUE TO THE POPPING NOISE. PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR HANGS LOW TOO, AND BOTH DO NOT GO FULLY UP IN THE CLOSED POSITION.

MY PATHFINDER HAS A KNOWN DEFECT. NISSAN HAS RELEASED TECHNICAL BULLETIN CLASSIFICATION RA09-004C WITH REFERENCE NUMBER NTB10-029C FROM NOVEMBER 16, 2015. THERE IS A VIBRATION OR JUDDER FEELING FROM THE REAR DRIVE TRAIN. THE ACTION REQUIRED IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED BY THE NHTSA. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY YOUNG CHILDREN. THERE IS A VIBRATION OR JUDDER FEELING FROM THE REAR WHEN MAKING TURNS, ON DRY ROADS, AT LOW SPEEDS (UNDER 40 MPH). THE REPAIR IS EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN 3800 TO 5000 DOLLARS. THE NISSAN DEALER SAID THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND DRIVE SHAFT, THE CVT TRANS AXEL, AND REMOVAL OF THE VALVE ASSEMBLY.
Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, May 17, 2018
THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY FAILS TO ACCELERATE FOLLOWING THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES FOR A PERIOD OF 10-30 SECONDS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE "BRAKE SWITCH" THAT IS COMMON IN THE PATHFINDER. THE DEFECT CAUSES AN UNSAFE AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONDITION WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC.

I HAVE OWNED MY PATHFINDER FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BOTH VISORS WERE SAGGING AND DIDN'T FULLY RETRACT INTO PLACE. OVER THE LAST MONTH THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR IS NOW TO THE POINT WHERE IT HANGS HALFWAY DOWN ALL OF THE TIME. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS PROBLEM TO BE WHAT I CONSIDER AN EPIDEMIC. NOT ONLY ARE THE VISORS MANUFACTURED HORRIBLY BUT NOW CAUSE A HAZARD WHEN I AM DRIVING BECAUSE I CONTINUOUSLY HIT MY HEAD ON THE VISOR. NISSAN NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER RECALLING ALL VISORS THAT ARE DESIGNED AS SUCH. I JUST SPENT ALMOST $200 TO FIX ONE VISOR FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. NOT HAPPY! I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE TO SEND IN TODAY BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY FIXED THE VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS A HAZARD TO DRIVE.
Visibility/wiper, Apr 8, 2018
WE BOUGHT THE 2014 PATHFINDER USED IN MARCH 2017 WITH APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES ON IT. BOTH VISORS CLICKED WHEN PUTTING THEM BACK UP AND WOULD NOT STAY IN THE FULL UP POSITION. IN MARCH 2018, THE DRIVER'S VISOR FELL AND WILL NOT STAY IN EITHER THE FULL UP OR FULL DOWN POSITION, THUS OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VISION. THE BROKEN PLASTIC IS VISIBLE INSIDE THE FABRIC OF THE VISOR. I HAD TO PIN IT TO THE ROOF TO ENSURE SAFE DRIVING. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO MISUSE, BUT NOW I SEE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT. I DON'T SEE THAT NISSAN HAS PROVIDED FREE REPAIRS, HOWEVER. SINCE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THE VISORS REPLACED FREE TO CUSTOMERS.

NISSAN ISSUED A "CAMPAIGN" DUE TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT WHERE THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS MALFUNCTIONED WHICH CAUSE SHUDDERING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE WHILE DRIVING AT 20MPH. AFTER BRINGING THE ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON 2/28/17 THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY IMMOBILIZED ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING A TRAGIC ACCIDENT INVOLVING BOTH MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. NISSAN FAILED TO SEND CORRESPONDENCE ADVISING OF THE CTV UPDATE WHICH CAUSED THE ISSUE TO GO UNRESOLVED AND ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE FAIL OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RECTIFIED WITH MODELS CONTAINING THE CTV TRANSMISSION. NISSAN HAS JUST ADVISED THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WOULD COST ME A TOTAL $4,800.00 FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE OF SENDING THE PROPER CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING THE CAMPAIGN. THEY SHOULD BUY BACK THIS CAR AND ALL OTHERS LIKE IT AS THIS CAN CAUSE TRAGIC ACCIDENTS.

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN PATHFINDER AND NISSAN ROGUE NEW IN 2014. ALMOST ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE AT BANISTER NISSAN OF CHESAPEAKE, 930 N BATTLEFIELD BLVD, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320 DEALERSHIP. AT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES THE PATHFINDER BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY DURING ACCELERATION BETWEEN 15MPH AND 30MPH. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND HESITATES ON BOTH VEHICLES. DETAILS OF THIS PROBLEM HAVE BEEN SHARED REPEATEDLY WITH DEALERSHIP ADVISORS AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. AT FIRST TECHNICIANS CLAIMED NOT HAVE NOTICED ANY TREMBLING / ISSUES DURING TEST DRIVES WITH THE PATHFINDER. THEN EACH TIME I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE SHUDDER, THE DEALER WOULD BLAME IT ON OTHER ISSUES. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES, BRAKES, AND ROTORS SEVERAL TIMES AT THE ADVICE OF THE DEALER. NONE OF THAT FIXED THE SHUDDER. NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED ON BOTH VEHICLES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. BANISTER NISSAN OF CHESAPEAKE DID NOT INFORMED ME UNTIL AFTER THE PATHFINDER WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THAT TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I REQUESTED ASSISTANCE FROM THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER AS ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP SINCE I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEMS FOR SO LONG. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. NISSAN AGREED TO PAY FOR REPAIR COSTS FOR THE VEHICLE. BANISTER NISSAN OF CHESAPEAKE NOW TELLS ME THEY WILL NEED TO DO ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT REFUSE TO COVER ANY COST ASSOCIATED. THE ADVISORS STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC COULD COAST ANYWHERE FROM $200 - $800. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE EXPERIENCING MOST OF THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE 2014 NISSAN ROGUE PURCHASED NEW AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP.
