2017 Nissan Pathfinder

BACKUP CAMERA IS REMAINING ON WHILE DRIVING. SERIOUS DISTRACTION WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MUST STOP THE ENGINE TO RESET WHICH IS ALSO A POSSIBLE HAZARD DEPENDING ON LOCATION AND TRAFFIC SUCH AS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY INTO A MAIN ROADWAY WITH NO SHOULDER TO PULLOVER TO RESET! DEALER SEES NO ISSUE. HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE 6 MONTHS WE'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. PARKED IN GARAGE SO NOT A RAIN ISSUE, BUT HAVE NOTICED IT OCCURRING ON HIGH HUMIDITY DAYS POST RAIN.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND CALLED THE MANUFACTURE 6 TIMES. THEY SAY IF IT DOESN'T SHOW A CODE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE CAR WHILE DRIVING WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY CAUSING YOU NOT TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AT THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC FOR UPWARDS OF 20 SECONDS AT A TIME.

FOR THE SECOND TIME WHILE DRIVING MY PATHFINDER MY CAR SIMPLY SHUTS ITSELF OFF. IT WON'T MOVE AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE GOING UP A HILL IN DECEMBER OF 2017, AND YESTERDAY WHOLE ON A BUSY ROAD. LUCKILY I WAS NOT REAR ENDED. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES MY CAR STARTED NORMAL AND RAN FINE ON THE WAY HOME. IF I WAS ON A HIGHWAY WHICH I NORMALLY DRIVE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT AS THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS BEFORE IT DOES THIS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T GET THE CAR TO SHOW A CODE. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH IN THIS AUTOMOBILE .

ON FEBRUARY 10, 2018, WE BROUGHT HOME A NEW PUPPY. WE WANTED TO CALM OUR CURRENT PET DOWN SO I WENT INSIDE MY HOUSE TO LET HIM OUT TO USE THE RESTROOM AND CALM HIM FOR THE INTRODUCTION. IT WAS A COLD NIGHT SO MY 7-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER AND HUSBAND WERE IN THE BACKSEAT UNBUCKLED WITH THE HEATER ON. NOBODY WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT AT THE TIME. THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND I HAD THE KEY IN MY POCKET IN OUR HOUSE. ABOUT 7 MINUTES LATER I HEARD A CRASH. IN MY MIND, I FIGURED MY HUSBAND WAS MOVING THINGS IN OUR GARAGE BUT WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE, THE CAR HAD ACCELERATED UP MY DRIVEWAY AND INTO MY GARAGE. IT CRASHED INTO MY FREEZER, AND IF THE FREEZER HAD NOT BEEN IN THE WAY IT WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO MY HOUSE. NISSAN FLEW AN ENGINEER DOWN FROM TENNESEE AND HE RAN A REPORT ON HIS COMPUTER AND FOUND NO FAULT. I ASKED IF THEY KNEW WHY IT HAPPENED AND IF THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE APART TO LOOK FOR CAUSE AND THEY SAID: "NO, WE WERE NOT LOOKING FOR WHY ONLY IF THE COMPUTER SHOWED AN ERROR." I ASKED FOR THE REPORT AND THEY STATED THAT THE REPORT WAS PROPRIETARY AND REFUSED TO RELEASE IT TO ME. IT SEEMS ODD THAT THEY WOULD NOT RELEASE THE REPORT IF NISSAN IS NOT AT FAULT.

MY 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS A FAULTY OCCUPANCY SENSOR AND PER NISSAN MY 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE MASSIVE OCCUPANCY SENSOR RECALL INCLUDING OVER 3,000,000,000 NISSANS. HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/ARTICLES/NISSANS-MASSIVE-AIRBAG-RECALL-WHAT-OWNERS-NEED-TO-KNOW-1420684514439/ THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH A FAULTY SENSOR. NISSAN CLAIMS THE SENSOR IS FAULTY DUE TO THINGS SUCH AS A WATER BOTTLE BEING FOUND UNDER THE SEAT. BECAUSE MY SUV IS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO MILES NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I SUSPECT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED AS I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER NISSANS OWNERS ARE TOLD THEIR OCCUPANCY SENSORS ARE BROKEN DUE TO THEIR OWN ACTIONS RATHER THAN BEING FAULTY. SHAME ON YOU NISSAN.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2017 PATHFINDER WITH 10,300 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. YESTERDAY JANUARY 18, 2018 I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOLLOWED BY THE SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL. THE NOISE STOPPED BUT THE SMELL CONTINUED FOR A SHORT TIME. THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN TODAY BUT THERE WAS NO REPEAT PERFORMANCE. WHAT COULD THIS BE AS I FOUND A SIMILAR PROBLEM POSTED.

THE BACK UP CAMERA WILL GET STUCK WHILE IN DRIVE. YOU CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SEE THE ROAD BEHIND YOU MOVING. THE SCREEN ALSO HAS A LOT OF DISTORTION ON IT AT TIMES MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OBJECTS BEHIND YOU. THEY PURPOSE OF A BACK UP CAMERA IS SAFETY. IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE A LARGE MOVING SCREEN IN YOUR CAR WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO DRIVE & LINES & OTHER DISTORTION COULD MAKE OBJECTS (SUCH AS CHILDREN) HARD TO SEE. THE BACK UP CAMERA OCCURS WHEN MOVING AND IN PARK. THE DISTORTION WILL OCCUR WHILE YOU ARE IN REVERSE MOVING OR NOT MOVING. ALL OF THESE THINGS OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE AN EMAIL FROM NISSAN SAYING THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. THEY DON'T SEE HOW THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD (YES, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY TOLD ME THIS). ALSO, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THESE EVENTS THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. I DON'T WANT SOMEONE GETTING KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS!
