2014 Nissan Pathfinder UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The problem I am having now envovles the EMC. After getting the catalytic converters replaced 2 times replacing the oxygen sensors 3 times and the manifold replaced, also a few other things that’s all connected the computer won’t acknowledge that’s the new parts have been replaced. So the engine still has a bad exhaust smell and the vehicle won’t run properly. Mechanic said I shouldn’t have a problem with the EMC but it is the problem. The problems go away once the codes are cleared but come back when the engine light comes back on. I have also noticed that a recall for the EMC for the same year vehicle but for a hybrid.

I have 2014 nissan pathfinder but every time I start a shake so my dealer told me they're is something wrong with the transmission and there's a recall for this vehicle that I should filled claim.

The rear subframe is completely rusty. The problem has been looked at by multiple independent auto repair centers. It is a safety concern as the subframe could fall apart due to the rust putting myself and others at risk while driving this vehicle. I bought this car in June of 2024 and it was a problem that was brought to my attention at that time but was rusty before that.

3 of my door handles have broken once before I had taken ownership of the vehicle. Since owning the vehicle those same 3 door handles have broken again. This is a cause for concern because if you were in a motor vehicle accident you wouldn’t be able to get the doors open from the inside of the vehicle. For the past few months I have been rolling the windows down to open the door from the outside handle..

This recall has been out for 2 years now and Nissan still hasn’t come up with a way to fix it or a replacement. I’m constantly in fear driving down the highway that my hood will fly up into my windshield.

Hood won't latch shut.

I had no light come on I was driving and I was crossing an intersection when the vehicle started shaking and jerking it was going slow then it just jerked me fast while there was on coming vehicles this happened suddenly and now the car light came on a day or two later and the car will not move forward or backwards I contacted the manufacture and they said there was nothing they can do sad this day I almost wrecked 3 times I even asked if they could pay for the labor and I would buy the part because I believe this was a manufacture issue everything I have read is about people having the same issue this could have been prevented and I thank God I didn’t die I did pray the whole drive back home and I feared for my safety and my babies safety . This needs to be addressed and there needs to be a recall before people get seriously injured or lose there lives and it shouldn’t matter about how much miles the vehicle has I believe the manufacture knew about this in the beginning but if they don’t want to fix it at least sell us the parts at a decent price because it’s gonna cost more to fix it than what the car is worth

The vehicle started shuddering , a couple of days later it became worst and started losing acceleration , jerking and no shifting almost make have and accident because it didn't shift.

My rear lift gate sometimes closes on its own

Top rack is loose and the padding comes out while driving and hits car The compartment handle (where tire jack is) is always loose and doesn't lay flat

Sun visors both sides will not remain up. Had one replaced. Still not staying in position. Holding them up with rubber bands and shoe laces doesn’t allow them to be adjusted when needed for safety.

We have experienced a second CVT failure on the vehicle. First one was on highway driving experienced significant loss power on the highway and "CVT Judder" as it has been described to me by the dealer. The condition was constant and would not allow my vehicle to accelerate and was running very high rpms and was no longer safe to drive any distance. Car was purchased Certified Used in March 2022, first bad transmission was in March 2022, failure occurred and was replaced under warranty. Then in April 2022 second CVT failure and dealer is indicating out of warranty for repair so will be at my expense $6,000+. We have had several major repairs to this vehicle both under warranty and outside- CVT replacement, rear axle, and also need catalytic converter replacement. I am attempting to contact Nissan Consumer Affairs for support but not hopeful given dealership response.

While driving the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder at 50 mph the hood came unlatched. It then hit the windshield and broke the fenders. This caused no visibility of the road while traveling at a high speed. The issue was reported to Nissan however, the vehicle is out of warranty. Our insurance company has assigned us to a collision center to fix the windshield and fenders. There were not warning messages before the hood latch failed.

Driving on the highway at 75 mph on 8/26/21 the moon roof above the driving compartment shattered. It was preceded by a loud explosion sound which startled the driver enough to have to pull over. A police officer was driving behind her and pulled over as well because his car was showered with glass fragments. No vehicles were in front of the car when this occurred so nothing impacted the glass. It was a hot Florida day. Luckily the sun shade was closed so the glass did not rain down on the driver

While driving the car the driver and passenger sun visors are falling down and disturbe the view of the road. Contact the dealer and was told that the car is out of warranty and as such they would not replace it. This is a constant problem and it is not repairable.. This situation pauses a great risk to the driver as well as any traffic near by. Dealer name: Nissan Marlboro MA

Interior driver’s side door handle snapped when I tried open it today from the inside. The only way to get out of the car now is to roll down the window and open from the outside. This seems to have happened to many other owners and was actually a recall on the 2008 Nissan murano

BOTH SUNVISORS IN MY VEHICLE ARE BEING HELD UP WITH BUNGY CORDS BECAUSE THEY JUST FALL DOWN INTO YOUR FACE WHILE DRIVING. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS IS DUE TO THE MECHANISM THAT SUPPORTS THE SUNVISORS. IN ORDER TO HAVE REPAIRED NEW SUNVISORS HAVE TO BE INSTALLED WHICH COST 485.00 WITH LABOR. THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP THE SUN OUT OF YOUR EYES WHILE DRIVING AND IF YOU DO NOT TIE THEM UP WITH SOMETHING THEY JUST FALL FORWARD INTO YOUR FACE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MY MAKE AND MODEL AND EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE A RECALL. AFTER TALKING WITH NISSAN HEADQUARTERS TODAY 08 12 20 THERE IS NO RECALL YET AND TO CONTACT YOU.

THE STRUTS ON THE BACK LIFTGATE RUSTED AND SNAPPED WHEN THE TRUNK WAS OPENING. THE WAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME. WE HIT THE BUTTON TO OPENED THE TRUNK IT STARTED TO OPEN AND THEN STOPPED.

BOTH SUN VISORS FAILED TO RECTRACT TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION WHICH LEAVES BOTH HANGING AND OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS VIEW. FIRST IT WAS ONLY MID WAY WHICH LEAVES THEM HANGING VERY LOW. THEN THEY STOPPED LOCKING AT ALL.

DRIVING DOWN I-75 I HEARD A LOUD BANG, LIKE A GUNSHOT, IN MY CAR. I FRANTICALLY STARTED LOOKING AROUND THE CAR AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I CALLED MY HUSBAND THAT WAS ABOUT A MILE AWAY TO COME CHECK MY CAR. MY HUSBAND GOT OUT AND WALKED AROUND THE CAR NOT SEEING ANYTHING IMMEDIATELY. HE WALKED TO ME AND GAVE ME HIS KEYS SO I COULD DRIVE HIS CAR HOME AND HE WAS GOING TO TAKE MINE. WALKING BACK TO THE CAR HE SAW THE SUNROOF BULGED UP. HE STOOD IN THE DOOR FRAME AND SAW A LARGE HOLE IN THE SUNROOF AND TOLD ME IT LOOKS LIKE IT EXPLODED OUTWARDS. LUCKILY THE SHADE WAS CLOSED SO I WAS NOT COVERED IN GLASS. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO FIX IT BECAUSE "THEY DIDN'T MAKE THE GLASS" ACCORDING TO THE REP I SPOKE TO. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OEM AND INSTALLED IN A NISSAN FACTORY. STATE FARM WILL NOT COVER THE DAMAGES DUE TO IT BEING A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THAT STICKS ME WITH THE $1900 BILL. NOW I AM TERRIFIED TO EVEN DRIVE THE CAR AND IT DOING IT AGAIN. IT WAS TRULY ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME YESTERDAY ON I-75 AND HEARD A LOUD BANG LIKE A GUN GOING OFF IN MY CAR. THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND ME AND I LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. LUCKILY, MY HUSBAND WAS ABOUT A MILE AWAY SO I CALLED HIM. WHEN HE GOT THERE I WAS SHAKING! HE WALKED AROUND MY CAR LOOKING FOR SOMETHING, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. HE TOLD ME TO DRIVE HIS CAR HOME AND HE WOULD TAKE MINE. WHILE WALKING BACK TO THE CAR HE NOTICED A BULGE UP IN THE SUNROOF. HE OPENED THE DOOR TO TAKE A LOOK ON TOP AND SAW THE SUNROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT, NISSAN WON'T COVER IT, I'M WAITING ON MY INSURANCE TO SEE IF THEY WILL HELP (BUT SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT) IT IS POSSIBLE IT MAY BE DENIED ALSO. THIS IS SO SCARY AND DANGEROUS! *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED.

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP. THEY ARE FALLING OFF DOWN AUTOMATICALLY. PLEASE MAKE NISAAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS DANGEROUS DURING LINE CHANGE AND MAKING TURNS THIS ITEM IS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE. BEEN USING THIS VEHICLE FOR 5 PLUS YEARS. RARELY I HAVE PERSON SITTING IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT

THE POWER LIFT GATE CYLINDER SNAPPED OFF AND TRUNK FALLS DOWN IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPENING. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND ALMOST CAUSED AN INJURY.

ON MONDAY 12/9/2019 I WAS DRIVING THE PATHFINDER ALONE ON AUDELIA ROAD IN DALLAS TEXAS. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35 MPH IN THIS AREA. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AROUND 11:00 AM I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH DUST WHILE IN MOTION. ASSUMING I WAS HIT I PULLED OVER AND EXITED MY CAR. AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE CAR I NOTICED THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS IN THE AREA. I WALKED AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND SAW ZERO DAMAGE. (PHOTO ATTACHED) I LOOKED BACK INTO THE CAR AND THEN SAW THAT ALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.(PHOTO ATTACHED) THE AIRBAGS ON THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY. MY HEAD WAS POUNDING AND MY EYES HURT FROM ALL THE DUST THAT WAS SHOT OUT IN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYING. AAA TOWED MY CAR TO TROPHY NISSAN IN MESQUITE TEXAS. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE AS THEY STATED IT WAS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND STARTED THE PROCESS. THE ENGINEER SENT BY NISSAN HAS ASSESSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT HE SEES NO PHYSICAL, ELECTRICAL OR AFTER MARKET PARTS THAT WOULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE FAILURE. (PHOTO ATTACHED) WE HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM NISSAN ON WHAT THEIR CONCLUSION IS BUT THE AIR BAG FAILURE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD HAVE HURT MY INFANT CHILD SEVERELY AS THIS IS THE SIDE HER CAR SEAT IS LOCATED. LAST-WE ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION WE HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL ISSUE REPAIRED IN APRIL 2019.TROPHY NISSAN WAS VERY MISLEADING WITH THEIR ANSWERS ON THE RECALL REPAIRS. PAPERWORK ATTACHED.*DT*JB
