2015 Nissan Pathfinder, less than 40K miles, radiator cooling fan wobbles and makes loud/grinding noise (likes it's coming loose), in the middle of a long road trip. Potential engine overheat/seizure, dangerous to occupants in car.

Accelerating from stop and experience a studder or delayed acceleration. Must release accelerator and then press again to accelerate. This is an intermittent issue and cannot be reproduced on demand so it makes it hard to diagnose with a mechanic.

The radiator cooling fan failed in my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder causing a loud knocking in the motor. Every Nissan dealership around columbia, SC does not have the part in stock due to it being on backorder. This is for both factory and aftermarket. No dealership knows when Nissan will even provide the factory part. With the excessive rate of Nissan & also infinity's dropping due to this same issue and the demand for this part, I believe it should be investigated asap. It is apparent that this is a faulty part on these model vehicles. This is a safety issue because this for certain can lead to larger problems. There are 3 Nissan locations not far. Please look at the statistics for this, their numbers will confirm my complaint.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving 25 mph, the accelerator pedal was applied, but failed to respond. The vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken three times to a local dealer (sandy sansing Nissan, 5705 pensacola blvd, pensacola, fl 32505), but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 57,353.

problem #3

Pathfinder

  • 5 miles
When accelerating from a stop, at low speeds, the vehicle stutters/judders for a few seconds. It has been progressively getting worse, even starting to show up at medium speeds, to the point where we think the vehicle is going to stall. If you push on the gas it eventually goes throught the stuttering. Since no codes are indicating they will not look at the issue.

- St. Augustine, FL, USA

Vehicle start button is in a unsafe location. Knee keeps hitting while driving and car turns off. It needs a cover or smarter switch so that a accidental touch cant shut the car off while driving. It's a severe hazard!!!!!!

- Bristow, VA, USA

problem #1

Jul 062015

Pathfinder

  • 250 miles
Potentially faulty brake system or downshift cvt or simulated gearshift system. Details: When driving in slow moving traffic with the brakes partially applied, the vehicle tends to momentarily accelerate and speed up. Concurrently the resistance on the brake pedal tends to decrease, along with a visible down-and-then-back-up jumping of RPM needle. The brake pedal needs to be kept pressed to allow the vehicle to slow down. Took vehicle to dealership (new vehicle, with only 300 miles), the technician noticed the problem I had been explaining. The technician agreed to speak with the engineer the next day. However, next day the dealership stated that they have never encountered such as issue, and it may be simply the down-shift of the cvt transmission. This is unusual in comparison to any other car I have driven. Acceleration of the car during the braking cycle is clearly odd. Potentially dangerous situation when approaching a stop sign or slow traffic zones near schools. Please investigate.
