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.

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.

Service brakesJan 14, 2015
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 vehicles manufactured August 14, 2014, to November 5, 2014, and 2014-2015 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured August 12, 2014, to November 15, 2014. During the assembly process, the front wheel hub assembly fasteners may not have been properly torqued.
The under-torqued fasteners may result in a brake caliper separating from the wheel assembly causing a reduction in braking performance or reduced steering control. These conditions increase the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and tighten any loose bolts to the proper specification, free of charge. The recall began February 2, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Other or unspecified, Feb 24, 2019
IN 2017 I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. I WOULD START TO ACCELERATE AFTER A COMPLETE STOP AND THE PATHFINDER WOULD ONLY MOVE AT A SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN IDLE SPEED UNTIL I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN ONCE AGAIN ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. OTHER TIMES I WILL BE DRIVING AT A SPEED ABOVE 20 MILES PER HOUR AND THE PATHFINDER WILL NO LONGER ACCELERATE PAST THE CURRENT SPEED NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL I TAP THE BRAKE AND THEN THE ACCELERATOR. EVERY TIME EITHER OF THESE EVENTS HAPPENS, THE SLIP LIGHT INDICATOR WILL COME ON AND STAY ON UNTIL THE PATHFINDER IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. THIS ISSUE CAN HAPPEN 10 TIMES IN ONE DAY OR NOT AT ALL FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IN 2017 I FOUND A LOT OF PATHFINDER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE, SO I TOOK IT TO NISSAN D'PATRICK IN EVANSVILLE, IN. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND SPENT A COUPLE OF HOURS IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY ADJUSTED A FEW THINGS BUT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEM ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM. I WENT BACK TO D'PATRICK LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WHATEVER THEY ADJUSTED DID NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC AND THE PATHFINDER NOT ACCELERATING.I HAVE LEARNED TO BE PATIENT WHEN TURNING ON TO A BUSY STREET BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE PATHFINDER WILL NOT PERFORM THE SIMPLE DUTY OF ACCELERATING. THIS VEHICLE IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK TO MY FAMILY AND OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. I MET SOMEONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM LOCALLY AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE FILED A COMPLAINT ON NISSAN AND HAD THE DEALERSHIP PULL UP ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND THEY ADMITTED THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAVE A WORK AROUND FOR THE ISSUE BY BYPASSING A HARNESS SYSTEM.

COOLING FAN BEARINGS HAVE GONE BAD TWICE IN 75000 MILES. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS STILL IN WARRANTY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AND IT IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE. THANKS
Other or unspecified, Feb 20, 2019
THE COOLANT FAN IS DEFECTIVE MAKES A TERRIBLE NOISE. I ONLY HAVE 26000 MILES AND NOW HAVE TO REPLACE A EXPENSIVE PART. UNFORTUNATELY WARRANT RAN OUT BECAUSE OF AGE OF CAR. IT WAS SITTING AT AN IDLE AND SUDDENLY THEN STARTED CLANGING VERY LOUDLY.

WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE STALLS. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. BREAK LIGHT SWITCH RELAY.ALREADY A PREVIOUS RECALL.
Vehicle speed control, Feb 10, 2019
WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER BRAKING FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, OFTEN I CANNOT GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE PAST 10 MPH. I SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, BACK INTO DRIVE, AND CAN ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO WOLFCHASE NISSAN IN BARTLETT, TN. THEY ARE UNABLE TO RELOCATE THE PROBLEM, THUS PREVENTING THEM FROM ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS IF I'M STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, ALSO IF I AM MAKING A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT OFTEN ENOUGH TO BE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING MY PATHFINDER ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND ROADS, I WOULD BE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, TURNING ONTO A ROAD AND JUST TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE OFTEN LOSES ALL POWER AND DECELERATES. I HAVE PLACED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND YET HAVE NO POWER. IT TAKES AT LEAST 10-15 SECONDS TO REGAIN POWER AND BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. OFTEN TIMES I'VE BEEN CLOSE TO BEING REAR ENDED, ESPECIALLY ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS, WITH MY 2 MONTH OLD NIECE IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME BY TRACTOR TRAILERS. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND ANYONE IN THE CAR WITH ME, AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS WHO HAVE POTENTIAL TO REAR END ME AS I LOSE POWER. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON ROUTE 70 IN NEW STANTON, PA, ROUTE 119 (SEVERAL PARTS) IN GREENSBURG, PA, VARIOUS LOCATIONS ON ROUTE 30 IN GREENSBURG, PA, CAMEO LANE, GREENSBURG, PA, TWIN LAKES PARK, AND GEORGE'S STATION ROAD IN GREENSBURG, PA, AS WELL AS ROUTE 217 IN DERRY, PA AND INDIANA, PA. THIS WAS TAKEN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN GREENSBURG, PA TWINCE FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT CLAIMED THE FIRST TIME IT WAS IN, THAT IT WAS A FAULTY BRAKE SWITCH, AND REPLACED IT FOR $217.00. THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND IT WAS BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP A WEEK LATER. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL WEBSITES, INCLUDING A NEWS STATION THAT COVERED THIS ISSUE (WITH A FATAL ACCIDENT) AND NISSAN HAS NEVER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IN ANY OF THE CASES.
Power train, Feb 3, 2019
ON OR ABOUT JANUARY 19, 2019 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AT THE INTERCEPTION OF ROSCOE AND WOODMAN AVE. IN PANORAMA CITY, CALIFORNIA AND WHEREAS WITH NO WARNING NOR ANY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN I TRIED TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE BUT INSTEAD THE TRANSMISSION STALLED AND ENDED UP THRUSTING THE VEHICLE FORWARD ONLY TO LEAVE ME THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERCEPTION AND EXPOSED TO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND OF WHICH IT CAME TO SCREECHING STOP AND LITERALLY COMING WITHIN INCHES OF POSSIBLY T-BONING OUR VEHICLE AND OR CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN IN AUGUST OF 2018. IT ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 23K MILES. ON 12/22/2018 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BARON NISSAN WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCEL WHEN SPEED WAS BELOW 20 MILES PER HOUR. IF I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN BEGIN TO ACCEL AGAIN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IT JUST ROLLS AS I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL MANY TIMES. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO ACCEL. THE DEALER ADVISED THE STOP LAMP SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I LEFT WITH THE VEHICLE AND THEN TWO DAYS LATER I BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. IT IS RANDOM AND YOU NEVER CAN TELL WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GET ON A HIGHWAY OR MAKING A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE. CAR WENT BACK TO BARON NISSAN ON 12/29/2018. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED, DRIVEN PERSONALLY BY SERVICE MANAGER AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ERROR CODE STATING WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED THIS SITE AND SEE 3 OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE RECORDED MY CAR SLIP LIGHT BEING ON MORE THAN ON ONE OCCASION, MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND I BEGIN TO FEEL THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE NOT ACCELERATING. IM TRYING TO TEACH MY SON HOW TO DRIVE AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCEL AS HE WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN. THIS PROBLEM IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO GET A PERMINANT FIX IMMEDIATELY. AT THIS TIME MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 29K MILES AND I WILL BE REPORTING PROBLEM TO NISSAN CORPORATE

THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, ROAR AND MAKE A VERY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE. I HAD JUST STARTED THE ENGINE AND IT WAS IN MY GARAGE AND STATIONARY. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF. LATER THAT DAY, MY HUSBAND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN WITHOUT ISSUE. HE PULLED OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND PROCEEDED LESS THAN 100 YARDS DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE NOISE AND SHAKING STARTED AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO STATED IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE COOLING FAN (CONFIRMED BY DIAGNOSIS AT SAME DEALER) THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
Other or unspecified, Jan 18, 2019
THE COOLING FAN/RADIATOR FAN IS MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE. IT'S SOUNDS LIKE THE FAX IS UNSTABLE AND STRIKING OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE.DEALER SAID IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR IT WILL CAUSE PERMANENT/ CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND POSSIBLY INJURY IT'S OCCUPANTS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER,3 MONTHS AGO. IT ONLY HAS 37,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT TO THIS VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CALLING FOR A RECALL ON THIS PART IMMEDIATELY.
Other or unspecified, Jan 17, 2019
I PURCHASED A USED 2015 PATHFINDER. IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES IN 7 MONTHS. TRANSMISSION ISSUE, JERKING THE CAR...IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION..PART INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE GEAR SHIFTER WENT OUT & NOW THE FAN. OF COURSE I'VE HAD TO FIGHT WITH NISSAN AFFAIRS AND THEY ARE ONLY WILLING TO PAY 60%! AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL!

THE COOLING/RADIATOR FAN MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE A/C IS ON, THIS STARTED AFTER THE CAR REACHED 60,000 MILES. SEEMS LIKE A COMMON THING ON PATHFINDERS AFTER REACHING 60+ MILES.
Engine, Jan 14, 2019
I HEARD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY SAID THE BEARINGS ON THE RADIATOR FAN ARE BAD CAUSING THE FAN TO WOBBLE AND STRIKE AGAINST THE SHROUD. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND HAS 52,700 MILES ON IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. IF NOT REPLACED THE FAN CAN BREAK INTO PIECES AND CAUSE OTHER COSTLY ENGINE REPAIRS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE PART.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR DOES NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY OR STAY IN PLACE WHEN OPENED. WHEN OPENED TO BLOCK SUN, IT DOESN'T STAY IN POSITION AND BLOCKS SOME VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD INFRONT. DOES THIS WEATHER VEHICLE IS ON OR OFF.

NOTICED A RATTLING COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT TOWARDS THE FROM OF MY VEHICLE WHEN IN THE DRIVE THRU. TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. BEARINGS IN THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN HAVE FAILED REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANIC WILL CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO FAN BREAKING APART AND PIECES GOING INTO ENGINE. SEARCHING ONLINE SHOWS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM HAPPENING AT 30-70K MILES ON THESE VEHICLES.

ENGINE COOLING FAN MAKES LOUD NOISE WHEN THE AC/HEAT IS TURNED ON. AND STOPS WHEN THE AC/HEATS TURNS OFF. ONLY 42,000 MILES. FAN SEEMS TO WOBBLE A BIT
Visibility/wiper, Dec 28, 2018
BOTH MY SUN VISORS HAVE FAILED AFTER ONLY 61000 MILES. THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR LOST ITS ABILITY TO STAY IN EITHER THE UP OR FULLY FORWARD SITUATION RESULTING IN IT FALLING DOWN IN FRONT OF MY VISION WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR IS ALMOST AT THE SAME STAGE OF FAILURE. IT HANGS DOWN 2 INCHES FROM THE TOP OF THE ROOF. MULTIPLE TIMES PASSENGERS HAVE HIT THEIR FACE ON THE VISOR WHEN LEANING FORWARD. AFTER TALKING WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP'S PARTS DEPARTMENT, THEY INDICATED THAT SITUATION IS NOT ABNORMAL. THE PARTS PERSON SAID HE WAS IN A SIMILAR SITUATION WITH HIS PATHFINDER. I ENDED UP REPLACING THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR SINCE IT WAS BLOCKING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. SOON THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ATTACHED PICTURES THE VISOR DESIGN IS SUB-PAR AND SHOULD BE REDESIGNED AND PROVIDED TO CUSTOMERS.

I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2015. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 39,400. VERY RECENTLY THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN HAS STARTED MAKING RATTLING NOISE AND IT APPEARS WOBBLE WHEN FAN IS RUNNING. I HAVE DONE LOT OF RESEARCH DURING THE LAST FEW DAYS OVER THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN PATHFINDER OVER THE YEARS. ALSO, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD IT AND MAKE COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN MANUFACTURERS DIRECTLY AND THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT IT AS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. IT'S A DESIGN FAILURE FOR SURE AND THE FAN CAN BREAK, AND MAY COME APART AND GO INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE NHTSA MADE THIS A GENERAL RECALL, SO NO OTHER PATHFINDER OWNER HAS TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
Other or unspecified, Dec 20, 2018
AFTER HEARING RATTLING UNDER THE HOOD, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FAN SHROUD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS COST IS OVER $900. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO CALL NISSAN TO ASK THEM TO PAY FOR THE PART. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THIS PART IS BREAKING IN ALMOST ALL NISSAN PATHFINDERS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 40,000 AND 60,000 MILES. MY CAR HAD ~54,000 MILES. I HAD TO FIGHT WITH NISSAN TO COVER THE COST OF THE PART. THEY ORIGINALLY ONLY WANTED TO COVER 80%, WHICH I FOUND TO BE UNACCEPTABLE, SINCE IT WAS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO ISSUE A RECALL SO NO ONE ELSE HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS TO GET THE PART FIXED. I WAS LUCKY MY DEALERSHIP WAS HONEST ABOUT THE PROBLEM BEING A WIDESPREAD PATHFINDER PROBLEM. I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH MONEY FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT THE RADIATOR COOLING FANS HAVE WENT OUT ON I'VE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD IT AND MAKE COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN IT'S A DESIGN FAILURE IT CAN BREAK AND COME APART AND GO INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING PROBLEMS

SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION WHEN FUEL LEVEL IS LOW, PARTICULARLY WHEN STARTING A TURN OR STARTING TO CROSS A STREET FROM A STOP, IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE THEN AN ACCIDENT MAY HAPPEN. THE VEHICLE COMPUTER REPORTS A PROBLEM WITH EMISSIONS YET REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP MADE IT GO AWAY.

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR AND CONDENSER FAN MALFUNCTIONING. I WAS LOOKING ONLINE AND I'M NOT THE ONLY WAY THERE ARE THOUSAND OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING THE SAME. LOOKS LIKE THEY DID IT ON PURPOSE AS THEY ALL SEEM TO FAILED AROUND THE SAME MILEAGES. 40K TO 50K. AND FOR A PC OF PLASTIC IT IS REALLY EXPENSIVE.JUST THE PART ITSELF IS 288.00 DOLLARS. THAT IS MORE THAN THE COST OF A REGULAR WINDOW AC. PLEASE LOOK ONLINE FOR THE PROBLEM YOU WILL SEE MULTIPLES FORUMS COMPLAINING OF THIS. SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FIX THEM IRREPLACEABLE THEM ON THEIR OWN AS NISSAN CHARGE MORE THAN 1000 THOUSAND TO FIX THIS. REPEAT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE DOING IT ON PURPOSE. THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2014. AND STILL USING THE SAME FAN AND DESIGN UNTIL THIS YEAR MODEL. THANK YOU
