2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER Engine Problems

As I am accelerating once the car reaches 30-60 mph there is a very distant shuddering that occurs that cause the engine to lose some power and turns the check engine light on. This appears to be a common problem as I have found many complaints on forums describing very similar symptoms.

1.) The engine makes extremely loud running noise after pressing gas pedal. It is available for inspection. 2.) no NOTICEABLE safety of occupants was place at risk. We will say the deafening sound of the engine when accelerating is unsettling. 2a) The vehicle struggles to accelerate fast after pressing acceleration pedal. 2b.) It’s not shifting automatically at all. 3.) the problem have not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center, only reported to dealer. 4.) The vehicle or component havr not been inspected by police, manufacturer, insurance representatives or others. 5.) there weren’t any warning ⚠️ lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The sudden occurrence was observed three-days ago, when the loud engine sputtering noise began after running quietly earlier in the day. 5a) it simply sounded like the header pipe (s) to the engine became disconnected from the engine, or the equivalent of the header/engine exhaust pipe(s).

I bought my 2014 Nissan Pathfinder 4x4 sv a couple months ago and it’s always had when starting where the RPMS will constantly jump while driving, I took the car in to Nissan dealership in Tridelphia wv multiple times, after buying to have recalls done that needed to be done and they said it was fine no previous codes or anything. Then driving home from work [XXX] the check engine light came on and codes were CVT Judder, Bank 1 Low Catalytic Converter, Driver TPMS Sensors Bad. And then after couple days the check engine light went off. Car has a loud Humming noise prior to light coming on and still. RPMS still jump but now the speedometer does it as well. This can’t be safe and there’s been multiple accidents/complaints about the CVT Death Judder in these suvs and for what we pay for them it should be fixed before someone dies.They need to be recalled ASAP!!!

My car is saying hybrid battery overheating theres a recall for it but not for my vin and they won't fix it

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that soon after starting the vehicle, the engine started to overheat with the temperature gauge indicating that the engine was hot(H). The contact also stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated, and the vehicle started losing motive power. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the VIN related to the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.

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.

Alternator failed, Broken Tensioner, Catalytic converters bad, Engine misfiring, Brake failure. Discovered odometer disclosure is incorrect and VIN is wrong on the inspection certification. Odometers to the best of my knowledge only move forward, not backward unless they are tampered with or the information presented is fraudulent. I could have nearly been injured fatally, when the car stopped on three separate occasions and ultimately the brakes failed. I had the car less than 1 month in my possession and out of approximately 30 days, it did not run consecutively for 7 days. This information was turned into the Virginia State Police - Office of Inspections; however, they found no fault, but this is a clear misrepresentation of vehicle identification and mileage.

Overheating, Burning Smell, Shuddering, Transmission Failure. The Safety concerns are that the vehicle will shut off/stall involuntarily The Safety Problem has been confirmed by a dealer. The Vehicle hasn’t been inspected by the Manufacture since 2017 by its previous owner. It was a pre-owned vehicle when I purchased it in 2023. I am not able to transport the vehicle to Nissan due to the CVT safety concern. [XXX] The Check Engine Light came on the same day the issue was discovered. I drove it to O’Reillys then towed it to my personal mechanic. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My car (2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid) has been stuttering/juddering as it has been described by other users. took to my local mechanic who found the software needed to be updated. he was nice enough to take to the local Nissan dealer (San Leandro) phone (510) 347-3030 who did a software upgrade. since then, the juddering/stuttering is a lot worse and doing things it has not done before. they are saying I need a new transmission which does not sit well with me because the car is worse off from the software upgrade that they performed. it was doing much better prior to that. now I get a couple error messages one of which says the hybrid system is overheated - how could it be overheating soon after starting the car first thing in the morning when it has not been running all night. it never did this before. I also get an I-key system error which never popped up before either. in addition, the car has stopped in the middle of the road while street driving which can be a dangerous event! i have called Nissan consumer affairs and they were pretty useless. all they could do is place a dealership complaint. please help.

Car shudders when accelerating. Have had 3 transmission since 2015 . First time, 2017 car died in a intersection out of town. Took to dealer, They replaced it. Second time, in 2018 car didn't start in driveway. Told it was the transmission. Transmission replaced again. For the last 3 months, car shudders when accelerating and while ascending a steep hill, the engine seemed to work very hard to keep the car running. Wasn't sure if car would make it to the top. Cars were behind me so it was unnerving. Was told today that we again, need a new transmission.

Cvt failed. Confirmed by certified nissan dealer. No warnings at all. This is a known issue by nissan that has affected millions of customers. Vehicle killed while driving in one of the largest cities in American with a special needs disabled child in the car.

SHUTTERING AND JERKING FROM THE CVT TRANSMISSION. DECREASED POWER FROM THE TRANSMISSION. HAS BEEN REPORTED AND WON IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THE VEHICLE MAY COMPLETELY STOP IN MID-MOTION AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WAS TAKEN TO A SPECIALITY TRANSMISSION SHOP AND CONFIRMED WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING AND WAS REPORTED IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not properly accelerate. The contact stated that the check engine warning light would illuminate, and the engine would start to vibrate, causing the vehicle to become unstable while turning. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who replaced the engine control valve, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 100,000

Car shakes and sputters at low speeds or when stopping. Took to dealership transmission failure

This vehicle stops running while driving causing life threatening situations, Nissan is fully aware of the CVT Transmission issues and refuses to cover the repair of this CVT Transmission, this unexpectable, they have known about this problem since 2013, continued to sale and manufacture the vehicle, this is a terrible business practice and should be stopped, these consumers buy these vehicles expecting to be able to keep their families safe. We keep up on all our vehicles maintenance and repairs. I am sure if the CEO or the head of the NTSB had family in a fatal accident related to Nissans refusal to recall this CVT Transmission on all vehicles especially this year and make, then we would not have an issue getting help with this situation. Does someone have to die before a recall is forced? This issue started on 8/6/21 and has continued to stop running while we are driving it, we have parked this vehicle at the nissan dealership to prevent a fatality, until this issue is resolved, we owe money on this vehicle and now nissan is saying its over $10,000.00 to repair! This is madness. Protecting the company instead of the consumer has got to stop!

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2017. WE RECEIVED A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH IF YOU WILL. WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF THE PURCHASE WE NOTICED A TRANSMISSION ISSUE--JERKING JARRING HARD TO SHIFT ETC. WE PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH COVERED EVERYTHING BUMPER TO BUMPER FOR WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS 100k MILES. TURNS OUT IT WAS SOME RIDICULOUS NUMBER 88k. ANYWAY--WE CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN TOT HE SERVICE CENTER ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND EVERY TIME WE WERE TOLD THERE WERE NO ISSUES. WELL WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AS WE HAVE DONE SINCE DAY ONE AND TOLD THEM AGAIN ABOUT THE TRANSMISSIO. THIS TIME (WE WERE OUT OF WARRANTY) THEY CODED IT FOR GUESS WHAT? THE TRANSMISSION WITH A WHOPPING PRICE TAG OF $8k. I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER TRYING TO GET RESOLVE. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS--I CANT MERGE INTO TRAFFIC BC IT IS TOO SLUGGISH IT STALLS OUT AND WILL NOT SHIFT AT A LOW SPEED---AND TO COMPLICATE MATTERS WORSE-- THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT NISSAN JUST SETTLED IN THE FALL FOR OVER $277mm FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES---WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE SUIT. i REALLY NEED SOME HELP AS NO ONE IS TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY.

We have a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder and started having issues in June 2021. Our car stalled while driving home from work almost causing an accident. Had it towed to Nissan and they told us we needed to replace the Transmission. It took them 2 months to fix our car. In the midst of fixing the transmission they said the supercharger pulley needed to be replaced. OKAY! We finally get our car and a day later the check engine light is on again and now the horn wont stop blaring. We had to disconnect the battery. WE TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN and they said the battery was bad. They replaced it but it did not fix the issue. Nissan had to call the Nissan Tech Line for suggestions. So they said the DC/DC converter assy needed to be replaced and the HV harness was also failing to communicate. All this is connected to the transmission. With the new recall coming out all of this should be refunded. We need assistance. Any information or suggestions anyone has would be highly helpful.

In 2017 the engine light came on and I took my car to Nissan of McKinney, Texas. They found the transmission was damaged and they claimed they replaced with another/new transmission. On November 18, 2021 the engine light came on again and I took the car to Nissan of McKinney. Michael D. Riffe at phone number 214 390 5370 or 469 877 0690 was my service agent., after inspecting the car, he told me that the transmission is bad again and I need to pay approx. $5900 before tax and labor. I reminded him that they had just changed the transmission in 2017 so I didn't understand why the 2nd transmission went bad again, he refused to help repair/replace the transmission even though they claimed to have installed a new transmission in 2017. Michael told me since I had added miles on the car they can't replace the transmission and I will need to pay approx. $5900 before tax for it to be replaced. Nissan of McKinney is deceptive, I feel like I was robbed and Nissan of McKinney lied in 2017 when they claimed that they had replaced the transmission because a transmission does not just break and they never showed me proof that they had installed a new transmission. I am requesting for assist so Nissan of McKinney/Nissan can take full responsibility and repair/replace the transmission at no charge. Also, after a research I found similar SUVs had transmission issues and there was a lawsuit filed in which Nissan accepted to settle, I was never made aware of this lawsuit and my vehicle is one of the affected vehicles in the lawsuit.

THE LEAK ON INNER TRANSFER CASE CAN CAUSE FIRE ON MIDDLE OF PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEAT, ALOS ODOR MAY CASUE THE DRIVE UNCONFORTABLE LEAK IS VERY SERIOUSLY FROM AXLE INNER SEAL. CVT TRANSMISSION JUDDER AND SHUDDER IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ALL PASSENGER ON HIGHWAY THE SPEED WONT GO UP AND THE CAR WILL SHAKE LIKE A BOAT I MIGHT KILL ALL MY FAMILY DURING A TRIP TO PA WITH THIS CVT ISSUE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ASK NISSAN TO RECALL THIS ISSUE TO SAVE 1000 LIFES.

Vehicle shuddered, stopped at red light in traffic. Vehicle would not drive or reverse.

My vehicle has started to stall, jerk, jump while accelerating. I have called Nissan and got the run around. Non returned phone call.

I purchased my car 1 year ago. Since then my car has continued to stutter. Sometimes its a suttle stutter, most times its very noticeable and has continued to get worse in the short time I've had my car. I commute 1 hour to work and 1 hour home from work and am very concerned traveling on the highway at high speeds with this issue. I've asked a dealership in Hutchinson, KS to help me with this issue as I am concerned the CVT valve in the transmission has not been fixed and they won't help me. They tell me that since their tech does not witness the stutter during their brief test drive there is nothing they can do to help. I've read several complaints on nhtsa.gov from other customers as well and they are consistent with my concern.

I HAVE A 2014 PATHFINDER, IT STARTED DISCHARGING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF WHITE SMOKE FROM THE TAILPIPE. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. HE EXPLANED, THAT THE OIL RINGS ARE BAD AND OIL IS LEAKING IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS A NEW ENGINE ASAP. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 83,000 MILES. MY MECHANIC SAID I COULD TAKE THE ISSUE UP WITH NISSAN DIRECTLY AND MAYBE THEY WOULD HELP OUT BECAUSE THESE CARS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I KEPT UP WITH MY MAINTENANCE.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER HYBRID WHICH YOU SHOULD NOTIFY OTHER CUSTOMERS OF AS WELL. THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR IS USED TO COOL THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY SYSTEM AND HOLD OFF BATTERY FAILURE. THERE ARE NO SENSORS OR FEEDBACK MONITORING OF THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR TO CONFIRM IT IS OPERATIONAL. THE REAR BLOWER MOTOR OF MY PATHFINDER HAS DIED 3 TIMES WITHOUT ISSUING EITHER A SERVICE CODE OR ANY INDICATION OF A SYSTEM FAILURE. THIS HAS THEN LED TO THE DEATH OF THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY PACK. THE FIRST FAILURE HAPPENED IN 2016 AT 37,000 MILES AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE A MODULUS OF ROUGHLY 35,000 BETWEEN DEATHS AND SHOULD BE PRO-ACTIVELY REPLACED BY THE OWNER TO PREVENT THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY FROM HAVING TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY INDICATION TO THE USER THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG IS THAT THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE LANE UNTIL A POLICE VEHICLE ARRIVED. THE NEXT TIME WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN I WAS ON SIDE STREETS WHERE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN UNLIT ROAD, WITH THE BATTERY DYING COMPLETELY AFTER AN HOUR WHILE WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. THE LAST ROUND HAPPENED 3 WEEKS AGO (ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON THANKFULLY WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT POSSIBILITY) - THE CAR WENT INTO THE SHOP AND THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT NOT THE REAR BLOWER (AS THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE FAILURE). I GOT THE CAR BACK FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS BEFORE THE CAR DIED AGAIN WITH THE SAME ERROR - AT WHICH POINT THE TECHNICIANS IDENTIFIED THE REAR BLOWER DIED (AGAIN). YOU SHOULD NOTIFY OTHER CUSTOMERS OF THIS 5 YEAR OLD PRODUCT OF THE DESIGN DEFECT AND THE NEED TO CHECK THE BLOWER FAN REGULARLY TO ENSURE THE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERY HAS A LONG LIFE.

TO BEGIN WITH IT STARTED AT LOW SPEEDS BUT NOW IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST NOR HOW SLOW YOU ARE GOING AND IT HAS ALMOST GOT ME IN WRECKS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH. *TR

SINCE 10/12/13, THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHUDDERING AND LOSS OF POWER. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT IT IS ALWAYS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. WE CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT GETS WORSE. FINALLY AFTER IT BECOMES ALMOST UNABLE TO DRIVE NISSAN ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND REPLACES THE CVT. WE ARE NOW ON OUR THIRD CVT SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR ON 7/22/13. WE HAVE TO TRAVEL A TWO LANE MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY AND IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND DUE TO LOSING POWER GOING UPHILL WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND THE CAR BEHIND US SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING US. IT HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS FROM 30 TO 60 MPH. I AM GRAVELY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY, WE ALSO HAVE A NEWBORN AND I AM SCARED TO HAVE HIM IN THIS CAR BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE. I HONESTLY FEEL THAT IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE ARE HIT DUE TO THESE ISSUES. NISSAN CONTINUES TO DENY THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
