2014 Nissan Pathfinder hybrid. My vehicle failed to accelerate after stopped at a light; car shakes like it's going to stall out; car shakes when going at low speeds and lightly pressing the gas pedal, it seems as if the transmissions tries to shift but the gear doesn't go in. My vehicle shifts into od on its own. Also steering wheel doesn't feel right. Lastly, trunk closes abruptly after opening; has fallen on my head several times.

I have a 2014 Pathfinder, it started discharging massive amounts of white smoke from the tailpipe. I took it to my mechanic and they said that it needed a new engine. He explaned, that the oil rings are bad and oil is leaking in the engine and that the only solution was a new engine asap. My car has less than 83,000 miles. My mechanic said I could take the issue up with Nissan directly and maybe they would help out because these cars are known to have this problem. I kept up with my maintenance. I'm absolutely disappointed and upset with this problem. It has to be a known manufacturing problem. This is a recurring issue that Nissan is aware with and needs to address.

2014 Pathfinder started emitting lots of white smoke from tailpipe almost out of nowhere. Took it to the dealer and they said that it needed a new engine. Asked for a better explanation, and they said that fluids are getting into the cylinders and that the only solution was a new engine. Very short, would not explain any further. The car is about 5 months out of warranty, but under the warranty mileage. They said I could take the issue up with Nissan directly and maybe they would help out. I kept up with my oil changes, kept fluids topped off. I'm completely besides myself with this problem. It has to be a manufacturing problem. Hoping to find that this is a recurring issue that Nissan is familiar with and deciding to own up to.

Upper intake manifold cracked. This was found out by rough idling, slow acceleration, increased gas usage, and engine light on.

I would like to make you aware of what appears to be a design flaw with the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder hybrid which you should notify other customers of as well. The rear blower motor is used to cool the very expensive battery system and hold off battery failure. There are no sensors or feedback monitoring of the rear blower motor to confirm it is operational. The rear blower motor of my Pathfinder has died 3 times without issuing either a service code or any indication of a system failure. This has then led to the death of the very expensive battery pack. The first failure happened in 2016 at 37,000 miles and it appears to have a modulus of roughly 35,000 between deaths and should be pro-actively replaced by the owner to prevent the very expensive battery from having to be replaced. The only indication to the user that anything is wrong is that the battery light comes on and the car shuts down while in motion. The first time this happened to me I was on the freeway and was stranded in the middle lane until a police vehicle arrived. The next time was in the middle of the night when I was on side streets where the car came to a stop in the middle of an unlit road, with the battery dying completely after an hour while waiting on a tow truck. The last round happened 3 weeks ago (on a Sunday afternoon thankfully without an accident possibility) - the car went into the shop and the very expensive battery was replaced but not the rear blower (as they were unaware of the failure). I got the car back for about 3 days before the car died again with the same error - at which point the technicians identified the rear blower died (again). You should notify other customers of this 5 year old product of the design defect and the need to check the blower fan regularly to ensure the very expensive battery has a long life.

Sometimes my Pathfinder does not accelerate when I step on the gas pedal. It typically happens when I am trying to drive after a stop sign or a red light, but sometimes it will even happen when I'm turning into oncoming traffic and trying to accelerate, but nothing happens. It's intermittent, so it does not happen every time.

2014 N Pathfinder 83,000 miles- I parked my car when I restarted it 10 min later, white smoke started coming from my exhaust. So much smoke that I was afraid to drive it. I had the car towed to my mechanic. He said that it's defiantly the engine (possible piston ring or stuck valves) he says he's heard of others with the same problem. Googled and see many others with the same problem. Dealer says I'm 8,000 miles out of my extended warranty. Hard to believe this problem seems so wide spread and isn't a recall.

I purchased the 2014 Pathfinder March 2018 with 27K miles. Oct. 2018 during starting of the vehicle I noticed excessive amount of smoke coming from the tail pipe. My mechanic checked the truck and informed me oil was leaking from the engine into the cylinders. I contacted Nissan Corp and was informed to take it to a local Nissan dealer. The dealer found the transmission was going bad, wheel barren. They returned the vehicle back to me after a week. The next day, the truck was smoking again everytime I would start the ignition. Tried to trade the truck for another make. I can't too much equity. I only had the truck for 8 months. Dec. 5th 2018, check engine light is on and low oil pressure light is on. Excessive smoke still comes from the tail pipe when the truck is started. Returned truck back to Nissan dealer for repair.

When starting to take off (going anywhere from 5-20 mph) my car shakes like it's going to stall out, the engine or transmission does not allow the car to property speedup when accelerating. I feel extremely uncomfortable and not safe. But, I don't have another vehicle to drive. I've notice other people are having this issue too, mileage on my Pathfinder is only 49,000. It's very stressful yielding on to highways and proceeding from a traffic light I was stopped at. Also, I would like to mention that I got an oil change last week. After, doing so my car smelled like burning oil after driving more than 500 miles. I took it back to them to check that everything was done properly. They told me that my oil pan is rusted out and my oil stick needs to be replaced. Because, the rubber on the top of the dip stick is wearing. He said that is very uncommon for this age of a vehicle. Please help!!

The battery would not stay locked in place and this seemed to impact the mileage starting over and did not keep accurate amount of gas in vehicle. My transmission was going out; felt as if something was being dragged while driving. I have had to purchase tires twice since buying the vehicle even with getting rotations every other oil change.
