I brought this vehicle in April of 2017, with 41,000 miles. I did not even have the vehicle a year before I noticed that when I am driving the vehicle it starts to stall at times, it does not pick up speed at all I have to push the accelerator two or three times before it picks up, and this happens at traffic lights and even when I'm on the interstate. I am really fearing for my life, because this is the only vehicle I have right now to drive. When I go to park the vehicle, and shut it off the brake lights stay on, and they don't go off. I have to get back in the vehicle move the vehicle and then shut it off. Sometimes I have to do this three or four times before the brake light goes off. I reported this issue to the Nissan dealership, who have told me there is no recall for this problem, and since it happens periodically through the day I have to keep making appointments, so they can try to find the problem. Very frustrating.

We have taken our 2013 Pathfinder in for brake evaluation prior to the expiration, and just after manufacturer's warranty ran out. The brake pedal would intermittently stop at the specified pedal distance, and then lose pressure and go to the floor. We had this evaluated by Nissan, and a local repair shop to which we were told we needed to replace the master cylinder by both. However, the problem has continued, and we have no been told this is potentially a brake booster issue which Nissan has received many complaints on yet has not remedied the safety issue. So far we have spent over $600 with replacing brakes, rotors, master cylinder, and labor. Not to mention over 5 trips to get evaluations and repairs.

At first the brake pedal was fading to the floor at a stop. Replaced the master cylinder. Condition better but pedal still spongy and then, additionally, when driving, at random times the brake pedal goes down 3/4 of the way before any brake pedal pressure is felt and the vehicle is able to stop. This is very scary as you are not sure if the vehicle is going to stop or not. Dealer then replaced ABS actuator with no remedy to random problem. Dealer additionally replaced master cylinder again with no better outcome. Dealer unable to fix this serious brake problem even after consulting and troubleshooting with Nissan engineers. Now we are unable to drive vehicle until Nissan engineer can get to dealer in 2 weeks? to personally troubleshoot the brakes. Vehicle only has 57,000 miles on it and now is on it's 3rd master cylinder and 2nd ABS actuator with no safe solution as of yet.

Nissan Pathfinder 2013 revs engine and jerks vehicle while firmly pressing brake (at a stop light). At first, I thought it was just the wind, but it kept happening for weeks. Then I noticed the rpms jump when it happened. Furthermore, the vehicle would slowly roll forward if stopped on a hill, requiring pressing the brake pedal all of the way to the floor. Just yesterday, it revved and jerked about a dozen times. The vehicle has the latest recalls done as of April/may when I took in in for service (rosen Nissan) and they verified the brake system was ok. Vehicle should not be revving and trying to turn tires while it is stopped.

I was notified of a recall for the brakes top lamp switch & passenger air bag detection. I took my truck into the dealership & was notified there was nothing they could do because Nissan had not given them the necessary parts to fix the defects. So what happens if I have an accident as a result of this defect?

Few weeks ago, I received a recall letter number NHTSA recall 16V-244. I called Nissan dealer at sw freeway to make an appointment to fix the problem. They told me there is no part to fix it yet. I called the dealer second time one week after the first time. They told me the same answer. I received the second recall today 7/30/2016 with different problem. The recall number NHTSA recall 16V-380. I called the Nissan dealer right after I received the second recall. They told me there is no part to fix the problem. I am really concern and worry about these. The second recall is regarding about "the brake stop lamp switch may have been installed out of specification". I think this is very dangerous and risky for the drivers and the passengers. Who are responsible for the injury or the death of the drivers and passengers (especially for myself and my family members)? please solve these recall asap before the issue occur. Thanks!

I was driving my car into a gravel driveway, I braked on the pavement to make my turn, turning into the gravel driveway, when I pressed on the brake pedal to slow the car, I had absolutely no brakes. The car would not stop. I had to quickly turn the car to avoid hitting another vehicle and a building, and had to slam the transmission into park to get the vehicle to stop. I contacted the dealership, advised them of the issue, as they were over an hour away, they sent someone with a trailer to come pick up the car. During this time, I also advised them of the passenger airbag light coming on while I had a passenger in the seat, stating that the airbag was off. My passenger was my teenage son, weighing over 120 lbs. I also had my husband in the seat, over 250 lbs, the light still came on. Nissan stated this was all due to a computer issue, they provided me with a loaner car as I was without my car for over 1 week. They even tried to sell me the loaner car, this should tell a person something right"? I have had weather stripping come off my car while I am driving, around the driver side roof, paint is peeling on the rear bumper, sometimes the car won't recognize my key fob to start, stating incorrect key id. The car stalls, hesitates, smokes, transmission "jerks", like it wants to give up, the ac does not blow cold air, sometimes its even warm. I will not let anyone drive my car for fear that it will stall out or not stop. Sometimes, when you press the gas pedal, the car will not move, or it hesitates to move. I have another recall to have repaired, the hood latch...with the dealership over an hour away, working full time, they only repair recalls during the week, how am I supposed to have it fixed, when the hood latch fails and I wreck" seriously, recall the vehicle, it has so many safety recalls, its just not safe.

While I was told that this had happened previously in the vehicle (around June 22, 2015), I experienced it on 7/6/15. I was traveling on the highway at @ 68 mph. I slowed to take an offramp left onto a connector and pressed the accelerator to regain speed. There was no response; the accelerator had no power--even when pressed to the floor. The car began to lose speed. It was a busy time of day, and there was a car behind me. I took my foot off the accelerator and pressed it again; this time it was responsive. In addition to the loss of power, the car 'hitched' as I was driving and braking, and the ABS and traction control lights came on. This happened multiple times afterwards--not just on turns. On 7/7, I called Nissan service. I did not drive the car again until they fit me in (thurs., 7/9). The drive train is still under warranty, and I was informed that there was a crt reprogramming recall that needed to be done, but it had nothing to do with what was happening, so they would run multiple diagnostics at $125 or more a piece. After multiple diagnostics and a technician driving my car 44 miles, service "could not duplicate concern, " did not know of any like problems with the car, had performed the recall, and sent me home at no charge (?) on 7/10. Afterwards, I did not drive the car for several days. On 7/16, it seemed safe, and my daughter was driving with me in the passenger seat. It happened again--on a busy road! the ABS and traction control lights came on too. We stopped; I took a picture, immediately emailed it to service, & switched drivers. There's no response yet. Nissan online forums are full of 2013 Pathfinder (and Nissan crt model) owners experiencing the exact same problems, being told similar things, and having transmissions (crt) replaced but it happening again. Nissan won't acknowledge what seems to be a widespread problem with the crt & this model.

Turning into parking space at mcdonalds. Foot on brakes, shift lever in drive, engine speed at idle. A bright red flashing "emergency" light appeared inside the speedometer ring at the nine O'clock position. Simultaneously accompanied by a complete brake failure. This light is not mentioned in the operators manual. Vehicle was taken to the port charlotte fl dealer and checked out perfectly. Their maintenance supervisor knew nothing about this light--it is not in their maintenance manual. I have three eye witnesses inside the car at the time. A large SUV with no brakes! what could possibly go wrong?

While driving my 2013 Pathfinder at slow speeds, the vehicle would lose power and not accelerate. It has happened about 10+ times in the last two weeks. The latest time I was making a left hand turn yielding to on coming traffic. The vehicle would not accelerate and stalled in the middle of oncoming traffic. The Pathfinder was moving about 5-10 mph. The oncoming vehicle approaching had to slam on their brakes so they didn't hit us (I had 6 kids in the car). The Pathfinder then kicked in and stalled at the following light around 1/4 mile down the road. It is intermittent and hasn't happened since. Pathfinder is currently at the dealer and they say that they have it fixed by a brake switch replacement. The regional consumer specialist from Nissan na assigned to us stated he was not aware of any acceleration problems at all in Pathfinders.

We first got a recall notice, and took the vehicle to the dealership. I asked them that other than the recall I needed them to see why the brakes on the vehicle squeak on occasions. They said everything was good and that the brakes didn't have anything. When my wife got in a vehicle collision a couple of days ago she had my 2 daughters 3 and 4 with her. The airbags in our vehicle didn't deploy and the other vehicles did. My wife was going 15 mph but the other vehicle was going about 65 mph. Thanks to god nobody in the vehicle got severely hurt other than scratches and bruises. The vehicle was not totaled and will be repaired, I am really concern for my family's safety driving this vehicle.

I have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, bought it on January 2013, the past 4 months, I noticed the front end of the car shaking, I had previously brought the car in for 3 months check up, clay Nissan rotated the tires and since then the brakes felt like shaking, I mentioned the error to them, but they said it's okay, today I brought it back for the recall- the car appears like it wants to cut off suddenly and they are telling me I need rotors in the front and the back, to me this appears to be a defect in the rotors- there is no way a 2013 car needs rotors in the front and the back.
