2015 Nissan Pathfinder

THE COOLING FAN FAILED AT LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. THIS PRODUCT IS FLAWED AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. DEALER SELLS A FAN ASSEMBLY FOR 800.00 PLUS LABOR. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS FEE FOR A COOLING FAN. I WAS ABLE TO BUY THE PART FOR 300 ONLINE AND CORRECT THIS ISSUE MYSELF BUT THE PRICE IS STILL HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD BE. THIS FAN SHOULD NOT BE FAILING THIS EARLY IN THE VEHICLE LIFE SPAN.

AT INTERMITTENT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN YOU PUSH ON THE GAS, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY TO ME BUT TO OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS . WHEN THIS OCCURS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND REMAIN LIT UNTIL THE CAR IS RESTARTED. ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY LIGHT . IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE NO CODES COULD BE FOUND, ON 05/02/2018 IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER MANY CALLS TO NISSAN MOTORS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY GAVE ME A REFERENCE CASE # OF 30341997 ALL THIS WAS GIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM A SECOND TIME AFTER THEY WERE CONTACTED BY NISSAN AND MYSELF. AFTER 7 HOURS OF HAVING MY CAR FOR DIAGNOSTICS I WAS TOLD IT APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT THAT NEEDS 3 PARTS ORDERED TO DO A WORK AROUND. TWO NEW WIRING HARNESSES AND A SWITCH THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO BYPASS BRAKE SWITCH RELAY AND REROUTE TO BODY CONTROL MODULE , I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD COST AND ADDITIONAL $500 PLUS ON TOP OF THE $121.62 I ALREADY PAID FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS I DO NOT THINK A CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A FACTORY DEFECT FIRSTLY, THEN HOW IS THIS WORK AROUND GOING TO AFFECT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS? ALSO NISSAN MUST BE WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR THEM TO ALREADY HAVE MANUFACTURED THESE PARTS TO DO A WORK AROUND TO CORRECT IT. ARE THEY TRYING TO RISK PEOPLE LIVES TO SAVE A DOLLAR? SO IN SUMMERY I HAVE AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED TRACTION CONTROL ISSUE THAT I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS WORKING CORRECTLY OR NOT OR IF IT IS GOING TO BE DISABLED. BRAKE LIGHTS THAT STAY ON WHEN DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS THAT OTHER DRIVERS CAN'T TELL IF I AM APPLYING THE BRAKES OR NOT. DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING SUCH A NEW MODEL CAR HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE WORKAROUND DONE ON IT THAT IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR.

I DRIVE A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 41K MILES AND A FEW DAYS AGO I NOTICED A LOUD NOISE WHEN THE CLIMATE SYSTEM WAS ON. I TOOK IT TO DEALER TODAY AND THEY STATED THE FAN ASSEMBLY MOTOR IS BAD. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS PART. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER SO THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX MY CAR EVEN IF I WANTED THEM TO. AFTER SOME READING THIS SEEMS TO BE A PART ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL.

AFTER APPLYING BRAKES BEFORE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL YIELDED NO RESULTS, NO ACCELERATION, NO RPM MOVEMENT, PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD YIELDED NO RESULTS. ONLY AFTER STEPPING OFF OF GAS PEDAL AND REAPPLYING THE BRAKES THEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL DID THE CAR RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATIONS. THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. BELIEVE IT TO BE RELATED TO THE BRAKE RELAY WHICH IS WHY IT WILL NOT THROW A CODE.

THE INSIDE FRONT DRIVERS' AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLES REPEATEDLY BREAK AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG PATHFINDER OWNERS AS WELL AS NISSAN DEALERS. WHEN BROKEN, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE UNLESS THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED AND THEN OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. AGAIN, WHEN BROKEN, AND THEY BREAK REPEATEDLY, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER CANNOT EXIT THEIR OWN DOOR, WHICH SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE. WE'VE REPLACED BOTH DOOR HANDLES ONCE, AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER'S HANDLE A SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR WAS AT 20,000 MILES. IT'S NOW AT 70,000 MILES, AND HAS HAPPENED FOR THE THIRD TIME.

FAN ASSEMBLY MOTOR NOISE I DRIVE A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 39K MILES AND A FEW DAYS AGO I NOTICED A LOUD NOISE WHEN THE CLIMATE SYSTEM WAS ON. I TOOK IT TO DEALER TODAY AND THEY STATED THE FAN ASSEMBLY MOTOR IS BAD. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS PART. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER FOR AT LEAST 3-4 WEEKS. SO THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX MY CAR EVEN IF I WANTED THEM TO. AFTER SOME READING THIS SEEMS TO BE A PART ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A 2 LANE ROAD (CHENAL PARKWAY NEAR MARGEAUX IN LITTLE ROCK, AR)AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE SUNROOF SUDDENLY POPPED AND SHATTERED CAUSING GLASS TO FALL IN TO THE CAR ON TO MYSELF AND MY DOG RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND OUR OTHER DOG WERE IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS SECTION OF THIS STREET IS SOMEWHAT HILLY. NO POTHOLES WERE IN THE ROAD. ONE OTHER VEHICLE WAS IN VIEW AT TIME OF INCIDENT. A VERY CLEAN (NO DIRT OR DEBRIS ON IT)NEWER MODEL PICKUP TRUCK WAS APPROXIMATELY 5 CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF US. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 6:30 PM ON 3/13 AND SKIES WERE SUNNY AND CLEAR. WE SEARCHED THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR OF THE CAR AND THE ROAD IN THE AREA AND COULD FIND NO EXPLANATION FOR THE BREAK. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS 59,800 MILES ON IT, DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE VEHICLE STARTED RIDING REALLY ROUGH AND ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND. DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO NISSAN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. TECHNICIAN CALLED THE NEXT MORNING TO INFORM ME IT HAS A BAD FAN MOTOR ASSEMBLY. ITS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER FOR WEEKS. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2015 PATHFINDER BUT STILL MAKES THE CONSUMER PAY ALL OR PART OF THE REPAIR. ONLY AFTER COMPLAINING DID I RECEIVE AN OFFER TO PAY 70% OF THE REPAIR. ALTHOUGH I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE OFFER I STILL DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE COST ON A KNOWN ISSUE OF A PART BEING DEFECTIVE. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL SOON ISSUE A RECALL AND OTHERS WONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT AND THE COST I WILL INCUR TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.

RADIATOR FAN ASSEMBLY. MY VEHICLE IS AT APPX 41K MILES. A FEW WEEKS A LOUD METALLIC CLANKING NOISE BEGAN EMANATING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. OUR MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE AS THE DRIVER SIDE RADIATOR FAN (THIS MODEL HAS 2 FANS HOUSED IN ONE ASSEMBLY) HITTING THE ASSEMBLY SHROUD. THE BEARINGS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE BLADE TO ROTATE OFF AXIS. IF THE BLADE SHEARS OFF OR BREAKS IT WOULD LIKELY PUNCTURE THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVERHEATING OR FIRE. NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS AS A RECALL ISSUE, THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN NISSAN OWNER FORUMS. THIS WHOLE DUAL FAN ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SO OFTEN THAT THE ASSEMBLY IS NOT AVAILABLE. MINE WAS ORDERED ON FEB 9TH. THERE IS NO RELEASE DATE FOR THE PART FROM NISSAN.
