2017 Nissan Pathfinder

UNDER 40,000 MILES AND THE COOLING FAN STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE. ANOTHER DEAD RADIATOR FAN, NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO DESIGN THESE THINGS TO LAST MORE THAN JUST PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NOTICED THE NOISE FIRST WHEN THE WIFE PULLED IN BUT UPON RESTART THERE WAS NO NOISE, 5 MINS LATER IT WAS BACK AND THE FAN ASSEMBLY WAS VISIBLY SHAKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE LIFTGATE STARTED TO OPEN, IT WOULD THEN IMMEDIATELY CLOSE INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WELCH NISSAN (2505 S OLIVE ST, PINE BLUFF, AR 71601) WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN MY 2017 PATHFINDER GOT TO ABOUT 40,000 MILES (JANUARY OR FEBRUARY 2020), IT STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLANKING NOISE, COMING FROM BEHIND THE RADIATOR. UPON INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THE COOLING FAN WAS LOOSE, CAN'T REMEMBER THE PART THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE, BUT IT WAS BUSTED...OF COURSE IT WAS! MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 36,000, SO THE REPAIRS WERE NOT COVERED. IT WAS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $900-$1000 FOR REPAIRS. AND I COULDN'T DRIVE IT UNTIL IT WAS REPAIRED. I WAS NOTICEABLY UPSET AND ASKED WHY THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING TO A NEW VEHICLE, AND WAS IT NORMAL FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO BREAK THIS SOON? THE SERVICE GUY AGREED THAT IT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE WORN OUT THIS SOON, AND WAS ABLE TO FIND A COUPON ON THEIR WEBSITE THAT HE APPLIED TO MY BILL. YAY. I'M GREATLY DISAPPOINTED TO BE SEEING SO MANY OTHERS WHO HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM AS WELL. THIS IS CLEARLY FAULTY PARTS AND I WOULD LIKE A REFUND FOR THE REPAIRS I HAD TO MAKE. *TR

HAVE JUST UNDER 40,000 MILES ON MY 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND MY COOLING FAN LITERALLY WOBBLES AS IT SPINS MAKING A LOUD NOISE. IT CONTINUES TO MAKE THIS NOISE AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF UNTIL THE FAN STOPS SPINNING. I RESEARCHED THIS AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. A FAN SHOULDN'T GIVE OUT IN LESS THAN 40,000 MILES AND THE DEALER QUOTED ME $1000-1400 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO GET IT FIXED. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS POSTED FOR YEARS NOW - THIS SHOULD BE A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR NISSAN AS OBVIOUSLY THIS FAN IS A DEFECTIVE. WILL THINK TIWICE ABOUT ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT FOR SURE. HAD A HONDA THAT I DROVE OR 12 YEARS AND NEVER HAD 1 PROBLEM OUT OF IT.

I HAVE A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000 MILES ON IT. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I TURNED ON MY CAR AND HEARD A CLANKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PERSISTED THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WAS A FAULTY RADIATOR FAN AND IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $1,000 TO FIX IT. THE MANUFACTURER WARRENTY IS ONLY 3 YR/36,000 MILES FOR BASIC AND 5 YR/50,000 MILES FOR POWERTRAIN. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. IT WAS ALSO STATED THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL I GET IT FIXED, DUE TO THE FACT IT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE BY CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT. THIS A FAIRLY NEW CAR AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TROUBLE WITH FAULTY PARTS WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD.

LIKE MANY OTHERS, AT 39,913 MILES THE COOLING FANS STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALER, THEY DETERMINED THE RADIATOR/COOLING FAN WAS LOOSE AND RUBBING ON THE SHROUD. THE RADIATOR FAN WAS REPLACED. TOTAL BILL WAS $922. HOPING THERE IS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO JUSTIFY AN INVESTIGATION AND EVENTUAL RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V807000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 56K MILES DEVELOPED A LOUD CRACKLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, RAISED HOOD TO INVESTIGATE THE SOURCE OF THE ABNORMAL SOUND AND DISCOVERED THAT THE COOLING FAN BLADES WERE RUBBING ON THE SHROUD AROUND BLADE FAN/MOTOR ASSEMBLY. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT HE HAS SEEN A SIMILAR ISSUES LIKE THIS AND THE CAUSE IS A FAILED BEARING/BUSHING ON THE FAN AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $900
