When turn on heater, defroster or air conditioner vehicle makes a terrible noise. It's a grinding noise. Further checking it is determined it's the radiator pulley wobbling and hitting against something. By checking this vehicle a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder has multiple complaints about this. So I contacted dealership due to vehicle still being under warranty and they said no matter what to check it you have to pay a 147 dollar diagnostic check first. I explained this is a serious problem with this make and model and I prefer if you can tell me if this is covered by my expensive extended warranty. I was placed on hold for awhile and eventually sent to a voicemail where I left a message. No return calls yet.

Reading forums and doing research has brought me to the conclusion that nisan is buying and has been buying faulty radiator fans for years. My wife does nothing but drive to and from work, averaging around 10K miles a year on her Pathfinder under normal driving conditions and we are being asked to replace a fan that has mysteriously just started making all kinds of noise. Not only is this a problem but it's causing consumers to spend upwards of $1000 to replace this. I have recently found a Pathfinder forum with well over 450 results related to this particular item only. Obviously, this is not covered under normal drive train warranty so this is coming out of consumer pockets. This isn't fair to me or anyone else that I have spoken to. Why would this fan just go out for no reason other than it's a faulty fan with poor workmanship associated with the product. Nissan dealerships are making a killing, $400 to $600 just in labor with all of these problems. If you all go to pathfindertalk.com and search radiator fan, you will find all of the problems associated with the fans. It's faulty, it's dangerous and should be Nissan should have to flip the bill for this in the future and maybe they will think about this before they decide to buy cheap materials again.

Vehicle began making a clacking sound in front of motor intermittantly (like playing cards in bike spokes). This noise occured when stationary and in motion, city and highway speeds/locations. Mechanic determined that bearings in double fan assemby was the cause and had to be replaced. Vehicle was a 40,600 miles when part failed. Fan assembly was on backorder at the dealership. Replaced with an aftermarket fan assembly, total cost $629.xx

At 63,000 miles the cooling fan assembly went out at a cost of $1096. It appears after looking this up it is a common problem. This should be a recall, why buy a new car if it has major problelms at this low mileage

- Earlville, IL, USA

Loud noise started when engine was turned on and on idle. Was told that it was the radiator blade hitting something. What or why this happened the local dealer has no clue or explanation other then "it just happens on some Nissan" the cost to replace the radiator fan and shroud is about us$1000 on a car that is 39 mths old! seems this happens to enough Nissan that the dealer has seen it various times.

My cooling fan have known bad bushings and makes a horrible loud noise causing the vehicle I drive able due to damage to the engine of fan blades break off and cause overheating. My vehicle had 47000 miles and I had noticed the noise a couple of years ago. When it was intermittent. Now it is very constant. Looking online it is a very common problem with similar vehicles. This has to be recalled the fans should not go bad this early I have a 2001 Nissan maxima and had never had this issue the 16 years I owned it. Thanks
