2017 Nissan Pathfinder UNKNOWN OR OTHER

My Nissan pathfinder has consistently had a AC compressor unit replacement several times. There is OBVIOUSLY a sealing issue on this part /vehicle. It’s absolutely unacceptable to replace a AC compressor unit 3 times within the 5 years of owning this vehicle.

Thursday 9/12/24 6:38 am temp 71 degrees. Driving on interstate and my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder sunroof exploded in the middle of the glass. No rocks were found. I reviewed dash cam front and rear footage and did not find any evidence of a vehicle close enough to throw a rock on the car.

Radiator Fan Requiring Replacement due to failing bushings at 45k miles.

The rear passenger window exploded while driving. It shattered all over the passenger seat and middle seat. Luckily, there was no one in the back seat when it occurred.

On June 29, 2024, I was backing out of my driveway, and noticed the rear camera screen was black: guide lines were present as usual, but no image. I checked lens: it was unobstructed. Within about 30 minutes, the camera was functioning normally again.

The inside of my car was consumed by an electrical fire while it was parked.

Sunroof exploded & glass fell on me while driving on freeway. Heard popping sound when it occured. Glad I wasn't injured.

2013 – 2017 PATHFINDER; RADIATOR SHROUD AND COOLING had faulty FAN ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE. It rattles and potential overheat if fan stops working. This starting rattling at 37k miles. APPLIED VEHICLES: 2013 – 2017 Pathfinder (R52) SERVICE INFORMATION When replacing the radiator shroud and cooling fan assembly for any reason, the engine coolant, air cleaner case, and air duct does not need to be removed as part of the procedure. Use this SERVICE PROCEDURE (in place of the ESM) and the CLAIMS INFORMATION in this bulletin. The ESM will be updated at a later date.

Nissan is disconnecting service for Nissan Connect Service. This disables the SOS connect function. This could result in a sever crash not being reported that could complicate or hinder occupant(s)injuries. Also, it affects I-Key functions and other various data functions. Nissan Support claims it would not be a problem and the dealership, Tristate Nissan-Winchester VA 22602, stated there is nothing that can be done. Supposedly it is due to the loss of 3G telecommunications service. Other Automotive manufacturers are facing the same issue except they are are offering reprogramming to correct the issue, Honda for example.

COOLING FAN ON MOST NISSAN PATHFINDER SUV'S (MODELS 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019) SEEMS TO BE GOING BAD AROUND 36,000 MILES. THERE HAS BEEN A WIDESPREAD COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER PATHFINDER CUSTOMERS. SOME CUSTOMERS EVEN REPORTED HAVING TO REPLACE THE COOLING FAN TWICE IN LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. SURPRISINGLY THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET OR NISSAN HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE ENGINE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY FAILED AT 36,000 MILES (RIGHT WHEN WARRANTY EXPIRES) AND IT SOUNDED LIKE RAPID FIRE GOING OFF IN THE FRONT GRILL. AFTER DRIVING A WHILE YOU CAN SMELL AS IF SOMETHING IS BURNING UNDER THE HOOD AND THE BURNING SMELL MAKES IT INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. YOU CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR TOO LONG BEFORE THE BURNING SMELL STARTS BOTHERING YOU AND GIVING YOU HEADACHES. ONCE THE COOLING FAN GOES BAD, IT ALSO SPILLS SOME SHORT OF LIQUID IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH CAN CAUSE THE BURNING SMELL TO STILL BE AROUND FOR 1-2 WEEK EVEN AFTER GETTING THE COOLING FAN REPLACED. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN SERVICE CENTER, THE LADY THERE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS WITHOUT EVEN OPENING THE HOOD. SHE SAID "YES YOUR COOLING FAN HAS GONE BAD AND WILL NEED REPLACING, WE HAD SEVERAL OF THESE WITH THE SAME ISSUE" I MENTIONED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS WAS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, BUT THEY DIDN'T DO MUCH ABOUT IT. THEY REFERRED ME TO THEIR REGIONAL OFFICE, WHICH I CONTACTED AND THEY SAID THEY AREN'T ABLE TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUES BY NHTSA.

AC/ FAN MAKES LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNED ON UNABLE TO USE BECAUSE NOISE IS SO BAD- NEED TO REPLACE COOLING FAN- NEEDS TO BE COVERED BY NISSAN AS THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT

AC FAN MAKES LOUD SOUND WHEN HEATING OR COOLING IS TURNED ON. FIRST STARTED WHEN FAN WAS SET TO MAX ONLY, NOW THE NOISE IS OCCURRING EVEN WHEN FAN IS SET TO LOW.

FAULTY TRANSMISSION CAME OUT OF PARK. STATIONARY. DRIVE WAY.

MANY DRIVERS WHO HAS A 2015-2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY GOING OUT AROUND 45K MILES. NISSAN DEALERSHIPS ARE SAYING THIS IS A TYPICAL ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF FANS THAT ARE ORGINALLY INSTALLED. I THINK IT IS HORRIBLE TO MAKE AN CONSUMER PAY $900 FOR A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO SHAKE AND RATTLE BADLY WHILE MAKING A VERY LOUD WHILE THE A/C IS ON AND GETS WORSE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IDLE WHETHER THE A/C IS ON OR NOT. NOTHING ABOUT THAT SOUNDS SAFE OR FAIR. I LIVE IN MISSISSIPPI WHERE THE TEMPERATURE IS VERY HIGH AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE IN HORRIBLE CONDITION DUE TO AM ENGINEER DEFAULT.

MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2017 S HAS 38K MILES AND STARTED NOISE ON ENGINE/AC COOLING FAN. IT SOUNDS LIKE FAN BEARING IS MAKING NOISE. I THINK THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED. THE RECALLED PARTS WERE SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. THE VEHICLE BLEW UP ON JANUARY 25TH 2019 THE SAME DAY IS WHAT PICKED UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER BEING "REPAIRED."

WHENEVER I ACCELERATE ON STREET FROM 10-30 MPH CAR JERKS/STUTTERS DURING ACCELERATION, ALSO WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL CAR SLOWS DOWN AND LIGHTLY JERKS

BACKUP CAMERA IS REMAINING ON WHILE DRIVING. SERIOUS DISTRACTION WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MUST STOP THE ENGINE TO RESET WHICH IS ALSO A POSSIBLE HAZARD DEPENDING ON LOCATION AND TRAFFIC SUCH AS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY INTO A MAIN ROADWAY WITH NO SHOULDER TO PULLOVER TO RESET! DEALER SEES NO ISSUE. HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE 6 MONTHS WE'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. PARKED IN GARAGE SO NOT A RAIN ISSUE, BUT HAVE NOTICED IT OCCURRING ON HIGH HUMIDITY DAYS POST RAIN.

BACK UP CAMERA BLACKS OUT OR DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN CAR IS PUT ON DRIVE. THIS CAUSE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM TO SHUT OFF, AIR CONDITIONER, PHONE, AND RADIO.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2017 PATHFINDER WITH 10,300 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. YESTERDAY JANUARY 18, 2018 I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOLLOWED BY THE SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL. THE NOISE STOPPED BUT THE SMELL CONTINUED FOR A SHORT TIME. THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN TODAY BUT THERE WAS NO REPEAT PERFORMANCE. WHAT COULD THIS BE AS I FOUND A SIMILAR PROBLEM POSTED.

BACKUP CAMERA REMAINS ON WHEN CAR IS PUT IN DRIVE. CAMERA WILL REMAIN ON UNTIL CAR IS SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE - CAN BE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY, MAYBE ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS, BUT HAS HAPPENED FOR THE ENTIRE 11 MONTHS WE HAVE HAD THE CAR. NISSAN HAS OFFERED NO SOLUTION. CAUSES MAJOR DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING.

THE BACK UP CAMERA WILL GET STUCK WHILE IN DRIVE. YOU CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SEE THE ROAD BEHIND YOU MOVING. THE SCREEN ALSO HAS A LOT OF DISTORTION ON IT AT TIMES MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OBJECTS BEHIND YOU. THEY PURPOSE OF A BACK UP CAMERA IS SAFETY. IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE A LARGE MOVING SCREEN IN YOUR CAR WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO DRIVE & LINES & OTHER DISTORTION COULD MAKE OBJECTS (SUCH AS CHILDREN) HARD TO SEE. THE BACK UP CAMERA OCCURS WHEN MOVING AND IN PARK. THE DISTORTION WILL OCCUR WHILE YOU ARE IN REVERSE MOVING OR NOT MOVING. ALL OF THESE THINGS OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE AN EMAIL FROM NISSAN SAYING THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. THEY DON'T SEE HOW THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD (YES, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY TOLD ME THIS). ALSO, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THESE EVENTS THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. I DON'T WANT SOMEONE GETTING KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS!

I HAVE A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER LAST MONTH I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WENT ENTERING A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO STUTTERS AND SOMETIMES IT HESITATE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RETURNS TO NORMAL BUT THAT'S CONSTANTLY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT DID SAID THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE TO KEEP DRIVING UNTIL IT GIVE A CODE IT HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AND THE DEALER CANT FIND ANYTHING WHAT'S NEXT WAIT UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION GOES AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT NOT FARE

THIS CAR ONLY HAS 244 MILES ON IT. HOWEVER, WHEN I DRIVE IT FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES, I START FEELING A LITTLE DIZZY AND DISORIENTED. ONCE I'M OUT OF THE CAR IN FRESH AIR AGAIN, THE FEELING SLOWLY GOES AWAY. I'M GOING TO CALL THE DEALER (BROWN'S DULLES NISSAN) IN THE MORNING TO GET ON THEIR SCHEDULE AND REQUEST THEY CHECK THE CAR THOROUGHLY, BUT WANTED TO SEE IF NHTSA HAS ANY PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS OR INFORMATION WHICH MIGHT BE HELPFUL. STARTED NOTICING IT LAST WEEK. THE SPEED I'M GOING DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
