2015 Nissan Pathfinder Engine

cvt transmission is the worse my vehicle stopped on me on the highway coming from miami to orlando no warning nothing just stopped, the vehicle goes faster than it actually says with my children the only direction it could go into is reverse late at night it was so scary. I know if I could change my vehicle I would for a vehicle without CVT Transmission it doesn't shift like normal which is shifting at each short line it races to 3 to 4 then goes down putting more where and tear than norm

FOR OVER 6 MONTHS MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SPUTTERING OFF AND ON. JUST RECENTLY, WHEN CRANKING IT UP, IT WOULD BLOW OUT WHITE SMOKE AND SPUTTER EVEN WORSE. WE BOUGHT IT IN MARCH 2020 KNOWING IT WAS SPUTTERING BUT THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. NOW IT'S WITH NISSAN WHERE IT'S BEEN FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. THEY'RE STATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THESE ISSUES. I'VE ALSO FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THESE PARTICULAR YEAR AND MAKE/ MODEL VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. IF THIS REALLY IS AN ISSUE, IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!

THE ENGINE COOLING FAN PART NUMBER 21481-3JA2E HAS FAILED TWICE IN THIS VEHICLE. FIRST TIME AT 50,529 MILES AND AGAIN AT 106,370

NOTICED THAT A LOUD CLACKING/CLUNKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE HOOD WHEN I PULLED INTO GARAGE. NOISE SEEMED TO ONLY BE APPARENT WHEN A/C TURNED ON. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COOLING FAN WAS DEFECTIVE. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS. THE NISSAN PATHFINDER NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND HAVE THE COOLING SYSTEMS REPLACED. *TR

NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FROM FAN ASSEMBLY AS A/C IS PUT ON. NOISE GOES AWAY AS CLIMATE CONTROL IS TURNED OFF. READING MULTIPLE FORUM THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON NISSAN PATHFINDER (2013-2017). OEM PART COST $513 AND REPLACEMENT AT DEALER FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE OUT OF WARRANTY COST $1000 OR MORE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BY THE MANUFACTURER TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. REPLACING FAN ASSEMBLY IS NOT TRIVIAL FOR CONSUMERS. *TR

WHENEVER I TURNED ON THE A/C OR HEATER, THERE WAS A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS STATIONARY AT A STOP LIGHT. I TURNED OFF THE A/C WHICH THE NOISE WENT AWAY. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE TO GET IT CHECKED OUT, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COOLANT FAN AND SHROUD WAS GOING BAD; THEREFORE, IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1,100 TO REPLACE. I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT KEPT KICKING ON THAT IT COULD EVENTUALLY BREAK OFF AND HIT THE RADIATOR WHICH WOULD DO MORE DAMAGE. I CALLED DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO WHERE I WORK, AND ASKED ABOUT IT. I WAS INFORMED THAT HE REPLACED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF THEM THIS PAST YEAR, AND TOLD ME HE COULD TAKE CARE OF IT FOR APPROXIMATELY $900. AFTER GETTING HOME, I DID SOME RESEARCH WHICH SEEMS THAT IT HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN PATHFINDERS MADE BETWEEN 2013-2017. IT SEEMS NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS. TODAY, I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHICH SHE SUGGESTED I FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. AGAIN, IT SEEMS NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE; HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT TAKING THE STEPS TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION. IT'S COSTING CONSUMERS ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. I'VE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION THAT I HAD IT REPLACED. ALSO, I ATTACHED JUST ONE OF THE WEBSITES THAT I CAME ACROSS THAT ADDRESSES MY CONCERN.

RADIATOR FAN MOTOR, SEEMS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM. CAN HEAR BEARINGS RATTLING IN THE FAN MOTOR.

MY 2015, IS AT 54K MILES AND IT STARTING MAKE NOISE AND HAD IT CHECKED IT'S THE COOLING SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. MY FRIEND HAS A 2017 AND SHE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LYNNES NISSAN CITY (318 BLOOMFIELD AVE, BLOOMFIELD, NJ 07003), WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE COOLING FAN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 47,400.

LOAD CLUNKING BEHIND RADIATOR ON PASSENGER (RH) SIDE. FAULT TREE ANALYSIS REVEALED ISSUE WITH THE RADIATOR FAN BLADE ASSY. FAN BLADE MECHANICAL STRUCTURE/BEARING FAILURE

2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS PURCHASE TWO MONTHS AGO WITH ONLY 48569 MILES IT'S STARTED MAKING A LOUD TICKING NOISE WHEN AC AND HEAT IS ON. TURN OUT FAN IS GOING OUT. VERY ANNOYING AND THE CAR IS NOT THAT OLD. I HEARD THERE WERE RECALLED BUT FOR SOME REASON THE VIN SAYS IT HAS 0 RECALLS WHICH I THINK IS THE MAKERS FAULT. NEED TO FIX AND I WILL STILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET WHEN I'M MAKING PAYMENT ON THIS VEHICLE. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

RADIATOR FAN (RIGHT SIDE) NO LONGER SPINNING SMOOTHLY, CREATING LOUD NOISE. NOISE BEGAN SUDDENLY AT 4.5 YEARS OF AGE (65K MILES), AND WAS NOTICED DURING CITY DRIVING AND WHILE STOPPED (ENGINE RUNNING). REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF "FAN MOTOR ASSEMBLY" TO CORRECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NALLEY NISSAN OF CUMMING (1310 BUFORD HWY, CUMMING, GA 30041, (678) 648-7290) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STOP LAMP SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

NOTICED A RATTLING COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT TOWARDS THE FROM OF MY VEHICLE WHEN IN THE DRIVE THRU. TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. BEARINGS IN THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN HAVE FAILED REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANIC WILL CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO FAN BREAKING APART AND PIECES GOING INTO ENGINE. SEARCHING ONLINE SHOWS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM HAPPENING AT 30-70K MILES ON THESE VEHICLES.

2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 43,000 MILES FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS VEHICLE HAS GIVING US PROBLEMS ACCELERATING AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. I WOULD START TO ACCELERATE AFTER A COMPLETE STOP AND THE PATHFINDER WOULD ONLY MOVE AT A SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN IDLE SPEED UNTIL I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN ONCE AGAIN ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. OTHER TIMES I WILL BE DRIVING AT A SPEED ABOVE 20 MILES PER HOUR AND THE PATHFINDER WILL NO LONGER ACCELERATE PAST THE CURRENT SPEED NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL I TAP THE BRAKE AND THEN THE ACCELERATOR. I ALSO NOTICED THAT SOME TIMES WHEN ONE OF THESE EVENTS HAPPENS, THE SLIP LIGHT INDICATOR WILL COME ON AND STAY ON UNTIL THE PATHFINDER IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. THIS ISSUE CAN HAPPENS RANDOMLY. THIS VEHICLE IS USED TO TRANSPORT MY KIDS TO SCHOOL & ALMOST GOT INTO A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS DUE TO VEHICLE NOT ACCELERATING FAST ENOUGH. WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE VEHICLE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS NOW.

COOLING FAN STARTED MAKING NOISES WHEN AC OR HEAT IS AT 58K. SOUNDS LIKE THE FAN BEARINGS ARE SHOT. I SEE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON LINE FOR THIS. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RESOLVED BEFORE THE FAN COMES APART AND TAKES OUT THE RADIATOR.

AT LESS THAN 41,000 MILES, THE BEARINGS IN THE DUAL RADIATOR AND CONDENSER FAN ASSEMBLY ARE WORN AND THE FAN ASSEMBLY SHAKES WHEN THE FANS TURN ON. IF THE FANS BREAK WHILE DRIVING, IT MAY DAMAGE THE ENGINE OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. MANY OWNERS OF THIS NISSAN MODEL HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRING AT 30,000 - 60,000 MILES. THE FAN ASSEMBLY APPEARS TO BE UNRELIABLE.

COOLING FAN ON RADIATOR VIBRATING WHEN HEAT OR AC TURNED ON.

DURING NORMAL OPERATION, RADIATOR COOLING FAN MAKES A BUZZING NOISE WHEN HVAC SYSTEM IS TURNED ON TO ANY SETTING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, PASSENGER SIDE RADIATOR FAN IS OFF BALANCE, CAUSING VIBRATION AND BUZZING SOUND. WITH VEHICLE TURNED OFF, FAN BLADE WAS VERIFIED LOSS. THE VEHICLE HAS 30,200 MILES. DURING MY RESEARCH, I HAVE NOTICED MANY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE SAME VEHICLE BETWEEN 30,000 AND 50,000 MILES. WITH A BACKGROUND IN AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE AND QUALITY ENGINEERING, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE AMOUNT OF VIBRATION IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO EVENTUALLY CONTACT THE RADIATOR OR BREAK LOOSE, POSSIBLY CAUSING A COOLANT LEAK OR OTHER UNDERHOOD DAMAGE.

COOLING FAN BEARINGS HAVE GONE BAD TWICE IN 75000 MILES. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS STILL IN WARRANTY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AND IT IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE. THANKS

COOLING FAN FAILURE

I HEARD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY SAID THE BEARINGS ON THE RADIATOR FAN ARE BAD CAUSING THE FAN TO WOBBLE AND STRIKE AGAINST THE SHROUD. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND HAS 52,700 MILES ON IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. IF NOT REPLACED THE FAN CAN BREAK INTO PIECES AND CAUSE OTHER COSTLY ENGINE REPAIRS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE PART.

THE COOLING/RADIATOR FAN MAKES A RATTLING NOISE WHEN THE A/C IS ON, THIS STARTED AFTER THE CAR REACHED 60,000 MILES. SEEMS LIKE A COMMON THING ON PATHFINDERS AFTER REACHING 60+ MILES.

THE CAR ONLY HAS 22,000 MILES AND THE CENTER DUAL COOLING FAN HAS ALREADY STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE UNFORTUNATELY AS A 2015 THESE VEHICLES IS OUT OF WARRANTY I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THAT IT'S BECOME A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEING ON RECALL YET MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE ALSO COMPLAINING AS THEY REPLACE THE PART AND IT GOES BAD WITHIN MONTHS SO IT SEEMS THIS IS A ENGINEERING PROBLEM

ENGINE COOLING FAN MAKES LOUD NOISE WHEN THE AC/HEAT IS TURNED ON. AND STOPS WHEN THE AC/HEATS TURNS OFF. ONLY 42,000 MILES. FAN SEEMS TO WOBBLE A BIT
