2019 Nissan Pathfinder

GOING DOWN A BUSY ROAD AT 45 MILES PER HOUR MY CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY AND STARTED BEEPING AND A WARNING LIGHT CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD WITH A BIG EXCLAMATION POINT. THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF MY CAR NO OTHER CARS AND IT COMPLETELY STOPPED ON ITS OWN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND THEY SAID THE SENSOR WAS FAULTY THEY REPLACED IT WITH THE SAME SENSOR AND SAID THAT NISSANS DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH DEPT. WAS SHUT DOWN THAT THEY ARE THE ONES TO FIGURE THE ISSUE OUT BUT THEY REPLACED WITH SAME SENSOR AND SAID IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR FROM THE HEAT.

AEB (AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING) LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES WHICH MEANS AEB FUNCTION HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THIS ACTION DISABLES INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL WHICH RELIES ON AEB TO AUTOMATICALLY SLOW THE CAR IF IT ENCOUNTERS A SLOWER VEHICLE AHEAD. ONLY HAD THE CAR A WEEK OR SO, BOUGHT USED WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT FROM ENTERPRISE CAR RENTAL. READING THE WEB INDICATES THIS COULD BE AN ISSUE IF YOU ARE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED AND THEN CRUISE CONTROL IS RANDOMLY TURNED OFF DUE TO FAULTY (BOSCH?) RADAR SENSOR. VEHICLES WITH AEB SHOULD HAVE A MEANS TO TURN AEB OFF WITHOUT DISABLING FEATURES SUCH AS CRUISE CONTROL. CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE IS PRETTY STANDARD AND HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS. SHOULD NOT DISABLE IT SIMPLY DUE TO NEW GOVERNMENTAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT START-UP THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PINNACLE NISSAN (7601 E FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT BLVD, SCOTTSDALE, AZ 85260) WHERE THE MECHANIC INFORMED HIM THAT HE COULD SMELL FUEL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO A LOOSE GAS CAP. UPON RETURN OF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO SMELL A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND DECIDED TO BUY A NEW GAS CAP. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, HIS WIFE AND THE OTHER OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE ALL RECEIVED HEADACHES DUE TO THE STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. A FEW DAYS LATER THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FLAGSTAFF NISSAN (4960 E MARKETPLACE DR, FLAGSTAFF, AZ 86004) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL O RING, AND OTHER PARTS IN AND AROUND THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN THE POSSESSION OF THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD RECEIVE A CALL BACK AND HAD YET TO HEAR FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000.

WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW NISSAN PATHFINDER 2019 IN MARCH AND TODAY AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH NO CARS TO THE FRONT OF US OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED THROWING GLASS EVERYWHERE OFF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THANK GOODNESS WE HAD THE INSIDE VISOR CLOSED OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE ALL COME IN AND HIT MY 4 YEAR OLD WHO WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. WHEN I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE SERVICE REP SAID IT WAS A ROCK AND THERE IS NOTHING NISSAN CAN DO ABOUT IT. DIDN'T EVEN LISTEN TO THE FACT THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF US AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD NOT IN. THE EXPLOSION ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED MY HUSBAND, SON AND MYSELF AS IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE CHUNKS OF GLASS FLYING OFF THE BACK OF THE CAR ENDED UP HITTING ANY CARS THAT WERE BEHIND US. *TR
