The Vehicle will frequently and without warning lose all power while in the roadway. Last evening I was exiting the highway when I lost engine power and power steering. The dashboard lights came on and I had to coast to the nearest driveway. This has happened multiple times before, always without warning. When I have taken it to two nissan dealerships they have told me to continue driving it until it happens again because there is no code appearing. Finally it will happen enough where there will be a code and they can repair it. It always ends up being some sort of sensor. This has been going on for approximately 4-5 years.
When I applied the brakes, a slippage and rubbing noise occurs. Moments later, I could brake. No engine lights are visible on the dashboard. This has occurred several times.
The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while the vehicle was being inspected, the contact became aware of oil underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the bolt that connected the engine oil cooler and the oil filter fractured which caused the oil leak. The vehicle was not repaired. A dealer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 11V592000 (engine and engine cooling). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
While driving down the road at speeds of 40 mph my car's engine has stalled. My car at times will not turn over but then will crank and the vdc slip light comes on and my engine sputters. The battery is good, the alternator is good. Recently it almost stalled while driving, the battery light came on but then it accelerated just fine. Now it is intermittently making a loud humming/grinding noise.
Service engine soon light continuously goes off and on. Took it to various mechanics and all say there's nothing wrong. Noticed the light goes off in certain weather, but not all the time. Since mechanics say there's nothing wrong, I can't say how it affects the vehicle. This has been an issue for 2 years.

I have a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder. This morning the Nissan dealership diagnosed a bad transmission which I thought was highly unlikely. They seemed as shocked as I was. They quoted me 7K to fix it and I decided to take it to someone else to get a second opinion. At this point they started being extremely rude. It is now at another shop unsure of what to do. As I got home tonight I found that other people had been experiencing this same problem in the same vehicles by Nissan. I'm not sure why the Nissan dealership acted like it was news to them. But now I just want it fixed and have a safe vehicle for my family. I'm hoping it gets recalled so that I'm able to get it fixed.
Took the truck the truck to the dealer for regular scheduled oil change(6/11/14). On 6/14/14 the service engine soon light came on. The light when off on 6/15/14. On 6/18/14 while driving the engine oil light came on and the oil pressure gauge when to zero. I took the truck back on 6/20/14 to the dealer. The service said there was nothing wrong.I was told to bring it back if I had any problems. On 6/26/14 the oil light came on and the pressure gauge when to zero. I had the car towed to the dealer. Theory are trying to determine what's wrong with the car.
Car is making a very loud exhaust sound. Mechanic said the manifold has a crack. This car is a 2011, and it doesn't seem possible for this age car that is driven by a female 43 year old to have such issues.
Dear authority, I just bought a used Nissan Pathfinder 2011 with 15000 miles a week ago. It has had problem with acceleration. I took it to a Nissan dealer and was told that the transmission and radiator were both failed. This is very dangerous on highway if this Pathfinder's engine failed and stopped working. I do not want to put my family at risk on this truck. Please take action at once as how many car owners have already been experienced same problem. It would be too late if some serious accidents happened. The us government should protect its citizen and not the foreign car maker, I.e. Nissan corporation. Sincerely, Pathfinder owner
