2014 Nissan Pathfinder owner complaints

When I attempted to pull out in traffic from a stop, the vehicle started to move, then shuddered and stopped in front of oncoming traffic. It has done this a few times since then, the most recent was just over a week ago. After taking it to the dealers service dept., I was told it did the same thing with them driving it. I was told they have some kind of bulletin from the factory regarding this issue and it clearly states they have to replace the transmission. They provided another vehicle for me to drive and told me it will take 2 weeks for them to get another transmission and another 2-3 days to install it. Two days after leaving it with them, I received a message stating my pathfinder was ready to be picked up. The message stated they had reprogrammed the transmission. I have trie

The vehicle shutters feeling as if it will stall at low RPM between 10mph to 20mph while driving in highway commuter traffic. This was reported to my dealership multiple times at multiple service appointments such as oil changes. The problem was purposely not documented on my service sheets and I learned through the internet of what my problem was when my dealership tells me they could not detect a problem. The CVT has been a known problem when the whole time I thought I had a fuel or electrical problem with my vehicle. The dealership would have known this and kept me in the dark of this problem. I feel very let down by the dealership and Nissan as this has been a problem I known of since 50k miles and the dealership would tell me no problem was detected.

I have shudder and judder which is very dangerous I take it to mechanic shop they told me I have p17fo which is transmission problem. I have 89500 miles on it when I drive over 30 the car going to stall on highway and I am not able to do anything.

Vehicle shudders on acceleration randomly. Needs to be safety recall.

I purchased my Nissan new in 2014 and now with 120000 I am told my vehicle needs a 3rd transmission. Nissan knows there is an issue with the 13-15 CVT's for the pathfinder as they have redesigned the transmission to correct the problem and have issued two recalls on the software for the CVT. I requested assistance then they are not willing to do what is right and replace it at their expense. All recommended service has been done at Nissan dealerships. The original jutter issue was extreme, but I was told today that the new jutter issue is compressed and not as noticeable, but I was not informed until after it was out of warranty that is would not feel the same. I was informed that the jutter code is back and that was I was feeling is in fact the same issue.

While driving 70mph on the interstate, car started surging just before the CVT transmission totally failed, redlining the engine. Transmission had been shuddering and surging prior to the failure. Nissan knows this is a problem with their CVT units, it's all over the internet. Car was towed and CVT replaced. Now 2000 miles later it's starting again. *tr

CVT changes neutral from driving positions contacted the dealer and Nissan consumers agency they tolls me they can not do anything

Vehicle has constantly jerked under 30 miles an hour. I had the computer reprogrammed in 2016 per the Nissan recall but the shudder never went away. Nissan said that I had to drive through the shudder. Well today my transmission went out and Nissan said there is nothing they can do. Please do no buy this car.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2014 Nissan pathfinder. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v244000 (air bags) and the dealer stated that parts were not available to receive the recall repair which was unreasonable for the contact. The manufacturer was contacted but was unable to provide a reasonable time frame which was unacceptable for the contact. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Passenger side airbag off light stays on while driving with a passenger in the seat. Vehicle has to be stopped and restarted to reset the airbag light.

Ongoing issue with front passenger occupant classification system. "airbag off" occasionally lights up (before moving and while moving) indicating that the airbag is off even though the passenger seat is occupied with seat belt on. Nissan ocs service record: 12/17/2013 ocs reprogrammed by dealer prior to purchase date of 1/16/2014 2,480 miles 5/16/2014 ocs reprogrammed by dealer 6,777 miles 10/24/2014 ocs seat sensor reprogrammed by dealer 13,447 1/28/2015 new airbag pressure detection sensor & controller assembly-occupant sensor installed 17,831 miles 12/22/2015 ocs checked by dealer and dealer states no problem found. Contrary to the dealers finding, the ocs light still comes on at least once a week. Date and times are being recorded. This will become a very unsafe situation

As I was driving on 110 south freeway and enter fasttrack lane near exposition blvd exit, I heard a very loud explosion and thought that I was running into a collision with another oncoming vehicle. As I was slowing down and looked around there were no vehicle near me and the weather was so clear. Then I noticed that my sunroof glass was blown off and shattered. Lucky enough I had my sunroof shade closed so the shattered glass didn't flight in the car. There were another 04 passengers in my car as well but no one got hurt.

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 n

When I turn the heater off, I keep hearing a knock noise coming out of the heater.

Issue with the CVT for Nissan pathfinder. Have seen lot of complaints around the transmission for pathfinders (2013 and 2014 models). Nissan doesn't accept the issue and is charging us pay 5000$ for repairs. Currently have mileage of 69500 and just passed the warrant (by 3 months). Nissan doesnt accept for any repairs. The vehicle while in motion stutters and stops in the middle of the road which is quite dangerous.

The catalytic converter bank one has been replaced twice within a year on this vehicle and now for the year is out it needs to be replaced a third time. I do not know if there is a manufacturing issue with that but I don’t have another $3000 to replace this. The catalytic converter bank one only stays good for less than six months, but the warranty runs out after the three month period. I am not sure around the month, but I do believe it first started happening December of last year. I can get the paperwork from my mechanic.

On December 5, 2022, I was driving on the 134W fwy around 6:40 am. I was driving around 60 mph in the fast lane when all of a sudden my hood popped open. I was unable to see in front of my car as the hood was completely up and blocking my windshield. I slowed down and crouched down to see in the sliver of space between the windshield and the top (now located at the bottom due to it being open) of the hood. There was no left shoulder so my only recourse was to make my way to an exit as the section of the fwy I was on was around a merge of another fwy onto the one that I was currently on and there was no safe place to pull my car over to close the hood and unblock my view. Since it was early in the morning, the traffic was light but if there had been more traffic, then I would have slamm

After owning my 2014 Nissan pathfinder platinum for a little over 2 years and 37000 miles (conveniently just out of the factory warranty period), the sun visor on the driver's side became inoperable and, what I considered to be, a safety hazzard. The inside portion of the visor itself was obviously poorly engineered and loosened/cracked inside the visor which holds it secure to the visor arm. The visor would not remain in the upright position, out of the field of vision while driving. It was caught in a state of limbo in between being all the way down, and being all the way up. As a temporary fix, I had it secured with velcro, but this would come loose sometimes while driving and obstruct my vision. Within a month of the driver's side visor breaking, the passenger side visor broke as well,

My drivers side headlight continues to go out even after changing the bulb. When the build is changed it works for a couple months and burns out again. I always notice this issue in the mornings when first entering the vehicle.
