2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER Unknown Or Other Problems

To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this request under my existing Consumer Affairs case number [XXX] regarding my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder (VIN: [XXX] , Plate: [XXX] ). On [insert date], while driving on the freeway, the hood latch failed and caused the hood to suddenly fly up, completely blocking my view. This recall-related defect directly led to my vehicle striking another car. Thankfully, no one was injured. However, my vehicle sustained significant damage: •Both front fenders were bent •Front bumper was damaged This incident was a direct result of the hood latch defect that is already part of a safety recall. The failure created an extremely dangerous situation that could have caused serious harm to myself and others. I am respectfully requesting that Nissan cover the cost of repairs or provide reimbursement for the damage caused by this recall-related failure. I believe this is a fair and reasonable resolution, as the damage was not due to negligence but to a documented safety defect. Please advise me of the next steps required to process this request, including any documentation, repair estimates, or photographs you need me to provide. Thank you for your attention and for working with me to resolve this matter. Sincerely, [XXX] Phone: [XXX] Case Number: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The hood does not fully latch when closed unless manually engaged. I’ve brought it in to the dealer several times now to specifically have the safety recall completed but all they continue to do is “ clean” it and send me away. It is an ongoing issue and they will not complete the recall on my vehicle.

After my fiance passed from cancer in February. I saved 10g for me and our kids to get to school and work. The Carfax report only showed one recall at that time. I only drove that truck a week and almost died multiple times with my family. The truck just would go into limp mode. I found later that Nissin America had recalled the CVT / Judder/ transmission. It was recalled and never fixed! That was on no report I saw. I thought I found a great vehicle for my family and I bought a death trap. How can a recall of such importance like the transmission needing to be replaced and paid for by Nissan. It's 7 thousand dollars. I would have never bought that vehicle if all the information on that vehicle was on the report. How can you take something so dangerous and allow it to be sold to the public not knowing thst it was never repaired. The previous owners were never notified of the recall which is why is was never fixed. Nissan told me it was covered up to 81,000 miles or you had until 2024 to get it repaired or whichever came first. My family is about to lose everything. I can't even drive to hilltop to get my plates. I still haven't been able to drive it. It is a death trap. This vehicle should not have ever been resold with such a significant issue like the transmission! I feel like i was just robbed ten thousand dollars. I'm disabled and had plans to return to school. My sons wrestling future is now over. Everyone lost their jobs because I can't drive anyone. I can't even go to the store without worrying I'm going to die in that truck. This is so wrong. I am praying that you can help me make this right. The truck had a recall that was removed yet never fixed. A danger to the public and my family.Thank you for your time.

The trans shifting from 70 miles per hour to first gear while driving on the highway now it shakes my car when I move it for word just to clean under it in my parking lot I just bought the car last year I dove it for about 3 to for month's And now it sits for five to six because i can't afford a new transmission

My Nissan Pathfinder had R24C6 Hood Latch Recall repaired a couple months ago and is is still not updated in the NHTSA website? Service was done at the Nissan Dealership on Sonoma Blvd in Vallejo Ca. When I go to the Nissan dealership website to schedule an appointment, Nissan states that there are no open recalls on this vehicle (7SBE521) I will upload documentation to prove it was done. NHTSA can also verify with dealership with necessary. Thank you!!!

My car jolts/jerks in park as soon as it’s crunk up. Have been to the shop 9 times since June. Last 4 times has been Nissan Dealership, had $3000+ worth of work/replacement done. My engine is still continuing to do the same thing. Nissan said past 2 times that it was ignition coils, because they replace plug wires, but they’ve been replaced 3 times now and still the same issue ? Sounds more like CVT or timing chain issue. No codes were thrown past 2 times either

It begins shaking, jolting and shuddering while driving; started off happening at take off; then progressed to anytime speed was under 35mph; now, it does it often throughout all speeds. Nissan states it needs a new transmission which was quoted to cost $6,600+tax. The vehicle trade-in value is only $5,000ish prior to these symptoms. Vehicle has less than 117,500 miles and all maintenance and fluids have been routinely changed throughout vehicle's lifespan. This CVT issue seems to be ongoing therefore Nissan and other makes should not be allowed to put these into vehicles that are so costly and these transmissions begin to give problems while vehicles are still under warranty. Need assistance in fixing the costly transmission and Nissan should have a discount on this faulty transmissions that they knew had issues. No warning lamps or messages given; symptoms were found when taken in at 117,000 miles and stated transmission needs to be replaced. Warning lamps and signals should have been given to owner to prevent the damage done to transmission. Warning lamps do not show anything wrong with vehicle; however, the jolting, jumping and sputtering is very dangerous during driving and may cause accidents in braking, acceleration and/or heavy traffic flow.

The relay in the drivers seat melted and the wires shorted out. This caused issues with my radio, clock, brakes, and power issues when accelerating. They replaced the relay which cost me $1200 and suddenly all of my systems work correctly. I was told the short was causing feedback into the electrical systems of the car by the service department. The dealer further confirmed there is an advisory on this issue and it has been noted several times. They stated the issue is ongoing but there is no recall.

The Power Liftgate Switch on the trunk is always having issues due to the chrome plate thats part of the body on the trunk. The chrome panel is easily weathered and rubber seal comes off and when in contact with water, water drains right onto the relay switch and causes burnt out relay, or blown fuses, and does not operate.

The hood latch is not secure, while driving on the interstate especially, you can see the hood blowing up..This is dangerous because the hood may lift up while driving.

Car making hissing / humming noise

The rear hatch door goes up when the lift button is pushed on the tailgate door, it reaches the top, beeps, then immediately comes back down. The hatch door hit my wife on the head. If you push up hard against the tailgate when it starts to immediately come down it is possible to keep it up. But someone not strong enough can be seriously injured by the door. It’s the same situation every time we lift the hatch to open—up, beep, and back down it immediately comes We talked to dealer. They said contact Nissan consumer affairs. So we did. They said our vehicle is out of warranty: nothing we can do. Go back to dealer and pay to have it fixed. Not helpful at all. This isn’t a lightbulb burnt out or physical wear issue— it’s a safety issue and the manufacturer should do a recall and fix it ASAP.

When driving, many times while going uphill, the car starts to jerk if I press the gas it jerks more. I have to let go of the gas and then press to go fast for it to stop. At times, it has caused for other cars to rear end or for me to go into another car. The jerkin is becoming a safety hazard for me and I’ve only had the car since July. This is my first Nissan ever and would have never imagined to experience such issues.

I just got a recall for the hood latch. Although ours hasnt popped open yet, it bounces around like crazy when driving on the highway or if its windy out. We just returned from a 10 hour trip and going down the highway we pulled off to check because it was bouncing so much. Was very nervous going down the highway that it was going to pop open. This def is a safety issue.

Car will not recognize key. It says key ID incorrect therefore I can not start it by the push to start button

I bought my 2015 Pathfinder new in 2016. Love the vehicle but I am disappointed in how quickly it started to "fall apart". I had a Altima with over 200 000 miles without a single part breaking on it. I bought my Pathfinder based on the premise that all Nissan products are as good as my Altima. I have only 52000 miles on my Pathfinder now and I have a defective cooling fan making a terrible noise. There is no support for my Pathfinder any longer from Nissan and the cost of replacing the fan is well over $1400. I expected more from Nissan and my new vehicle for next year will be based on my experience with Nissan. I am not sure I will be driving a Nissan next year. Nissan is cheeping out on product that they use for their vehicles now, it's too bad, they used to have very well built products.

CVT Transmission Internal Failure Judder Code P17FO Cost to replace $5000 Broken Radiator Fan cost to replace $938 Total repairs required $6281. Car located at Canon Nissan Dealer. Another repair shop indicated they are seeing failed CVT transmissions on many 2015 Pathfinders and Nissan models which appears to be a manufacturers defect. No warning lights. started naking noises week or two ago. indicated the fan was dangerous.

We bought our car from Newton Nissan south in 2019 it’s a 2015 and has a CTV transmission well now the CTV transmission will not switch into any other gears it jerks and shakes bucks etc I have read that this is a on going issues with this type of transmission well because the in-service date being 2015 the warranty does not cover the car even thought we didn’t purchase it will 2019 I’m trying to see what can be done about this because it’s not a uncommon issue for this type of transmission

On 8-16-21, while driving at highway speed, the sunroof over the driver/passenger area in the vehicle spontaneously exploded. No evidence of any item hitting it was located. No vehicles or underpasses were near the vehicle when this occurred. From attached photographs, it is clear the glass pushed up from the explosion, not downward as if something impacted it.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A HIGH PITCH SOUND FROM THE RADIATOR. WELL MY CAR IS DOING THIS ISSUE WHERE THE HEAT IS ON AND IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE FROM THAT AREA. COULD IT NOT OF BEEN REPAIRED LIKE IT STATS?

THE VEHICLE SHAKES, JERKS AND SHUDDERS DURING ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEEDS I.E. 20-40 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE IT STALLS AND THEN GOES AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY AND ON THE FREEWAY ON RAMP, IN A ROUNDABOUT AND JUST TURNING OR GOING THROUGH A LIGHT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARS IT IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS A VERY LOUD AC BLOWER INSIDE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A JET ENGINE WHEN THE FAN IS TURNED HIGHER.

WHEN THE AC OR HEAT IS TURNED ON THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE AND OR VIBRATE. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR SOUNDS VERY LOUD LIKE A LAWNMOWER IS JUST RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. WHEN YOU OPEN UP THE HOOD YOU CAN SEE THAT THE COOLING FAN IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IS RATTLING WHEN THE AC OR THE HEAT IS TURNED OFF BUT THE FAN ENGAGES TO COOL THE ENGINE IT MAKE THE SAME SOUND. CAR IS AT 68K MILES REPAIR FOR COOLING FAN IS VERY COSTLY AND APPARENTLY COMMON ON THE PATHFINDERS

COUPLE OF THINGS, FIRST THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG IS SET TO OFF WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT SITTING THERE, AND I HAVE A BLINKING AIRBAG LIGHT, AT ALL TIMES NO MATTER WHAT. SECOND, THERE IS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN I TURN MY HEATER ON. I CAN ALSO FEEL THE VIBRATION WHEN I'M STILL. THE SUV ONLY HAS ABOUT 44K MILES. I SEE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I'M DEFINITELY DISAPPOINTED.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP. IT BEGAN WITH NOT GOING ALL THE WAY UP, BUT EVENTUALLY HUNG STRAIGHT DOWN AND COULD NOT PUT IT IN ANY OTHER POSITION. IT HANGS IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE AND CANNOT SEE TO DRIVE. WE ATTEMPTED VELCRO TO ATTACH IT TO THE ROOF, BUT IT WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN GIVE WAY DROPPING ON MY HEAD (I AM SHORT AND CLOSE TO THE WINDSHIELD) OR IN FRONT OF MY HUSBAND'S FACE WHERE HE COULD NOT SEE. IT DROPS DOWN WITH NO WARNING (PRESSING ON BRAKES, TURNING, ETC). NISSAN REPORTED THIS HAS HAPPENED IN OTHER NISSAN PATHFINDERS, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. OUR PASSENGER SIDE IS BEGINNING TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING.

Mileage: 58,000

IN OCTOBER 2019, OUR CAR STARTED MAKING A RATTLING SOUND IN THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE. MY HUSBAND DISCOVERED THAT IT STOPPED WHEN THE AIR SYSTEM (HEATING OR COOLING) WAS TURNED OFF. WE TOOK IT IN TO A MECHANIC AND HE STATED IT SOUNDED LIKE THE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY. WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR (2 YEARS AGO- USED), THE FIRST WEEK WE HAD IT THE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY WENT BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM REPLACED IT WITHOUT CHARGING US. WE WERE SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THE SAME SYSTEM IS FAILING AFTER ONLY 44,000 MILES. IT FAILED AT 33,000 MILES THE FIRST TIME. IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR FAR DISTANCES WITH THE AIR SYSTEM ON AS THEY ARE UNSURE WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE ASSEMBLY OR ITS EFFECT ON THE ENGINE IF IT GETS WORSE. THEY RECOMMEND REPLACING IT AGAIN. WE WERE SURPRISED THIS PIECE SHOULD FAIL TWICE IN THE 77,000 MILES ON THE CAR. NOT CONFIDENT THAT REPLACING IT IS THE ANSWER AS ONE WOULD EXPECT IT TO FAIL AGAIN SINCE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE PART.

Mileage: 77,000

LUGNUTS COMPLETELY FELL OFF, STEM BROKE, AND WHEEL FLEW UP INTO WHEEL WELL CAUSING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT AT 60 MPH ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE WITH NO PULL OFF DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE CAR AND MAJOR DAMAGE TO CAR. SECOND TIME IN CAR HISTORY HAS HAD LUGNUTS FALL OFF AND BREAK STEMS.

Mileage: 80,000

JUST NOW PASSED 85K MILES ON MY PATHFINDER. HORRENDOUSLY LOUD AND EMBARRASSING CLATTERING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT OF CAR. NISSAN DIAGNOSED THAT NEEDED TO HAVE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY REPLACED AT A RIDICULOUSLY HIGH PRICE OF $900! I DON'T HAVE $900. SO, IT'S 96 DEGREES OUT AND MY THREE GIRLS AND I ARE TRYING NOT TO HAVE HEAT STROKES IN OUR ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. WHERE'S THE RECALL NISSAN? I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER REVIEWS WITH SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 85,000

MY VEHICLE IS FINANCED THROUGH NISSAN AND I STILL HAVE 10 MONTHS OF THE NOTE LEFT. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN PROVIDED A DIAGNOSIS THAT MY COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY MOTOR AND BEARINGS HAVE FAILED AND WILL NEED REPLACEMENT. MANY NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS ARE POSTING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS. I HAVE ONLY APPROXIMATELY 68,000 MILES ON THE CAR. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, THERE MAYBE AN UNDERLYING PROBLEM WITH THE PART. I AM PROVIDED A $1000 ESTIMATE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS COMPLAINT SERIOUSLY AND PROTECT THE VEHICLE OWNERS.

I PURCHASED A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON MAY 2015 AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NO LONGER STAY UP, IT HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE OF A SAFETY ISSUE.

Mileage: 34,000

THE COOLING FAN STARTED MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE AT AROUND 48,000 MILES. THE NOISE WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE FAN KICKED ON. THE FAN WAS STARTING TO SEPARATE FROM THE BEARING. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT. I TOLD THEM MANY OTHER NISSANS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD PUT MY COMPLAINT ON FILE. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW FAN OUT OF POCKET.

Mileage: 48,000

I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE STALLING OUT. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND NO PROBLEM COULD'VE BEEN FOUND UNTIL THE LAST TIME. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKES WOULD COME ON AUTOMATICALLY. THEY BELIEVE IT WAS A SENSOR PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

Mileage: 54,691

VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE (NO THROTTLE RESPONSE) RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. RPMS DO NOT BUDGE DESPITE PEDAL BEING TO THE FLOOR. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. SHIFTING VEHICLE I TO NEUTRAL BRIEFLY AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE SEEMS TO RESOLVE PROBLEM, BUT THIS ISN'T AT ALL SAFE TURNING INTO IN AN INTERSECTION WITH CARS COMING. SEEMS KIND OF RIDICULOUS THIS ISN'T A BIG DEAL TO AN OEM.

Mileage: 69,000

VEHICLE BEGAN ISSUES WITH NO ACCELERATION AFTER COMING OFF OF THE BRAKES. HAS TO DOUBLE TAP BRAKES TO GET VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THEN IT PROGRESSED INTO THE TAIL LIGHTS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, WHICH WOULD IN TURN DRAIN THE BATTERY. THEN IT PROGRESSED ONCE AGAIN INTO THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AS IT WAS NOT SENSING THE BRAKE BEING DEPRESSED ON A PUSH TO START IGNITION SYSTEM. THE FIX WAS FAULTY RELAYS KNOWN IN PRIOR YEARS FROM 2013-2014 SAME FAULT IN 2015 MODEL BUT NO ACTIVE RECALL. SECOND ISSUE WHEN A/C SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED THERE'S A VIBRATION COMING OFF OF THE FAN ASSEMBLY WHICH CAUSES A LOUD SOUND HEARD WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. ALSO A SEPARATE RECALL ON 2013-2014 PATHFINDER BUT DOES NOT COVER THE 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER.

Mileage: 66,000

ON 12/22/18 WE WERE LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD BANGING/CLICKING NOISE FROM THE COOLING FAN ON THE DRIVER SIDE. HAVE TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THAT THE ENTIRE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SPOKE WITH CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR 12-13 NISSAN PATHFINDERS, BUT NOT FOR THE 2015S. THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE OF $730.00 PLUS TAXES TO REPAIR. DON'T KNOW IF VEHICLE CAN EVEN BE DRIVEN BECAUSE IT IS UNKNOWN AS TO WHAT THE FAN IS BUMPING AGAINST. DEALER SAID IF IT IS BUMPING AGAINST THE RADIATOR, IT COULD CAUSE A LEAK OR SEVERE DAMAGE. IF THE FAN BLADES ARE HITTING SOMETHING ELSE, THEY COULD BREAK AND COULD CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE. WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED ABOUT 60 MILES TO DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE FAN ASSEMBLY.

Mileage: 50,000

I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 24,000 MILES THREE MONTHS AGO. IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING 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 HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE DAY OR NOT AT ALL FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I WAS ALMOST T-BONED TODAY WHILE CROSSING A STREET WHEN I HAD NO POWER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG.

Mileage: 26,000

THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. COOLING FAN BEGAN TO MAKE WEIRD NOISES, HAD TO REPLACE COMPLETE FAN ASSEMBLY AFTER 40K MILES.

IN 2017 I STARTED EXPERIENCING 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. EVERY TIME EITHER 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 HAPPEN 10 TIMES IN ONE DAY OR NOT AT ALL FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IN 2017 I FOUND A LOT OF PATHFINDER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE, SO I TOOK IT TO NISSAN D'PATRICK IN EVANSVILLE, IN. I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND SPENT A COUPLE OF HOURS IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY ADJUSTED A FEW THINGS BUT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEM ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM. I WENT BACK TO D'PATRICK LETTING THEM KNOW THAT WHATEVER THEY ADJUSTED DID NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC AND THE PATHFINDER NOT ACCELERATING.I HAVE LEARNED TO BE PATIENT WHEN TURNING ON TO A BUSY STREET BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE PATHFINDER WILL NOT PERFORM THE SIMPLE DUTY OF ACCELERATING. THIS VEHICLE IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK TO MY FAMILY AND OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. I MET SOMEONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM LOCALLY AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE FILED A COMPLAINT ON NISSAN AND HAD THE DEALERSHIP PULL UP ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND THEY ADMITTED THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAVE A WORK AROUND FOR THE ISSUE BY BYPASSING A HARNESS SYSTEM.

THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, ROAR AND MAKE A VERY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE. I HAD JUST STARTED THE ENGINE AND IT WAS IN MY GARAGE AND STATIONARY. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF. LATER THAT DAY, MY HUSBAND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN WITHOUT ISSUE. HE PULLED OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND PROCEEDED LESS THAN 100 YARDS DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE NOISE AND SHAKING STARTED AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO STATED IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE COOLING FAN (CONFIRMED BY DIAGNOSIS AT SAME DEALER) THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE COOLING FAN/RADIATOR FAN IS MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE. IT'S SOUNDS LIKE THE FAX IS UNSTABLE AND STRIKING OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE.DEALER SAID IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR IT WILL CAUSE PERMANENT/ CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND POSSIBLY INJURY IT'S OCCUPANTS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER,3 MONTHS AGO. IT ONLY HAS 37,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT TO THIS VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CALLING FOR A RECALL ON THIS PART IMMEDIATELY.

I PURCHASED A USED 2015 PATHFINDER. IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES IN 7 MONTHS. TRANSMISSION ISSUE, JERKING THE CAR...IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION..PART INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE GEAR SHIFTER WENT OUT & NOW THE FAN. OF COURSE I'VE HAD TO FIGHT WITH NISSAN AFFAIRS AND THEY ARE ONLY WILLING TO PAY 60%! AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL!

I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2015. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 39,400. VERY RECENTLY THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN HAS STARTED MAKING RATTLING NOISE AND IT APPEARS WOBBLE WHEN FAN IS RUNNING. I HAVE DONE LOT OF RESEARCH DURING THE LAST FEW DAYS OVER THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN PATHFINDER OVER THE YEARS. ALSO, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD IT AND MAKE COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN MANUFACTURERS DIRECTLY AND THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT IT AS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. IT'S A DESIGN FAILURE FOR SURE AND THE FAN CAN BREAK, AND MAY COME APART AND GO INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE NHTSA MADE THIS A GENERAL RECALL, SO NO OTHER PATHFINDER OWNER HAS TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

Mileage: 39,400

AFTER HEARING RATTLING UNDER THE HOOD, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FAN SHROUD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS COST IS OVER $900. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO CALL NISSAN TO ASK THEM TO PAY FOR THE PART. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THIS PART IS BREAKING IN ALMOST ALL NISSAN PATHFINDERS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 40,000 AND 60,000 MILES. MY CAR HAD ~54,000 MILES. I HAD TO FIGHT WITH NISSAN TO COVER THE COST OF THE PART. THEY ORIGINALLY ONLY WANTED TO COVER 80%, WHICH I FOUND TO BE UNACCEPTABLE, SINCE IT WAS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO ISSUE A RECALL SO NO ONE ELSE HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS TO GET THE PART FIXED. I WAS LUCKY MY DEALERSHIP WAS HONEST ABOUT THE PROBLEM BEING A WIDESPREAD PATHFINDER PROBLEM. I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH MONEY FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

FOR SURE THE FAN BLADES ARE OUT OF BALANCE, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY BROKEN FAN BALDES OR TIPS. I'VE READ SOME COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PATHFINDER OWNERS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT FROM NISSAN. SO FAR THE ISSUE SEEMS START HAPPENING AT AROUND 50K MILES AND UP. FOR THE FAN(S) TO GIVE OUT AT 50K MILES SEEMS TO ME A LITTLE MORE R&D SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPLIED. SO FAR I'VE ONLY SEEN THE 2015 MODELS WITH THE ISSUE. BY THE WAY, THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT... ALL FACTORY, UNTOUCHED... UNRELATED BUT DOES ANYONE ELSE'S ABS BRAKE UNIT MAKE A LOUD WHINING NOISE? I REMEMBER THE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, THE NOISE WAS AT A BARE MINIMUM. AS THE MILES CLIMB UP SO DOES THE NOISE...

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VISORS IN MY 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THEY ARE BOTH BROKE AND HANG DOWN IN FRONT OF MY LINE OF VISION. NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR THESE. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH AND THEY HAVE BROKEN IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT AGAIN. MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE THEM AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AGAIN. SO NOW THE SUN IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AS OPPOSED TO THE VISOR BLOCKING MY LINE OF VISION. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR MANY NISSAN OWNERS. THE DEALERSHIP EVEN NOTED THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE INCIDENT RATES.

I WAS ABLE TO BUY THE PART FOR 300 ONLINE AND CORRECT THIS ISSUE MYSELF BUT THE PRICE IS STILL HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD BE. THIS FAN SHOULD NOT BE FAILING THIS EARLY IN THE VEHICLE LIFE SPAN.

AT INTERMITTENT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN YOU PUSH ON THE GAS, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY TO ME BUT TO OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS . WHEN THIS OCCURS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND REMAIN LIT UNTIL THE CAR IS RESTARTED. ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY LIGHT . IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE NO CODES COULD BE FOUND, ON 05/02/2018 IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER MANY CALLS TO NISSAN MOTORS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY GAVE ME A REFERENCE CASE # OF 30341997 ALL THIS WAS GIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM A SECOND TIME AFTER THEY WERE CONTACTED BY NISSAN AND MYSELF. AFTER 7 HOURS OF HAVING MY CAR FOR DIAGNOSTICS I WAS TOLD IT APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT THAT NEEDS 3 PARTS ORDERED TO DO A WORK AROUND. TWO NEW WIRING HARNESSES AND A SWITCH THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO BYPASS BRAKE SWITCH RELAY AND REROUTE TO BODY CONTROL MODULE , I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD COST AND ADDITIONAL $500 PLUS ON TOP OF THE $121.62 I ALREADY PAID FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS I DO NOT THINK A CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A FACTORY DEFECT FIRSTLY, THEN HOW IS THIS WORK AROUND GOING TO AFFECT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS? ALSO NISSAN MUST BE WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR THEM TO ALREADY HAVE MANUFACTURED THESE PARTS TO DO A WORK AROUND TO CORRECT IT. ARE THEY TRYING TO RISK PEOPLE LIVES TO SAVE A DOLLAR? SO IN SUMMERY I HAVE AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED TRACTION CONTROL ISSUE THAT I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS WORKING CORRECTLY OR NOT OR IF IT IS GOING TO BE DISABLED. BRAKE LIGHTS THAT STAY ON WHEN DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS THAT OTHER DRIVERS CAN'T TELL IF I AM APPLYING THE BRAKES OR NOT. DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING SUCH A NEW MODEL CAR HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE WORKAROUND DONE ON IT THAT IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR.

2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER, LESS THAN 40K MILES, RADIATOR COOLING FAN WOBBLES AND MAKES LOUD/GRINDING NOISE (LIKES IT'S COMING LOOSE), IN THE MIDDLE OF A LONG ROAD TRIP. POTENTIAL ENGINE OVERHEAT/SEIZURE, DANGEROUS TO OCCUPANTS IN CAR.

I DRIVE A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 41K MILES AND A FEW DAYS AGO I NOTICED A LOUD NOISE WHEN THE CLIMATE SYSTEM WAS ON. I TOOK IT TO DEALER TODAY AND THEY STATED THE FAN ASSEMBLY MOTOR IS BAD. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS PART. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER SO THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX MY CAR EVEN IF I WANTED THEM TO. AFTER SOME READING THIS SEEMS TO BE A PART ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL.

AFTER APPLYING BRAKES BEFORE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL YIELDED NO RESULTS, NO ACCELERATION, NO RPM MOVEMENT, PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD YIELDED NO RESULTS. ONLY AFTER STEPPING OFF OF GAS PEDAL AND REAPPLYING THE BRAKES THEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL DID THE CAR RETURN TO NORMAL OPERATIONS. THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. BELIEVE IT TO BE RELATED TO THE BRAKE RELAY WHICH IS WHY IT WILL NOT THROW A CODE.

THE INSIDE FRONT DRIVERS' AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLES REPEATEDLY BREAK AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG PATHFINDER OWNERS AS WELL AS NISSAN DEALERS. WHEN BROKEN, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE UNLESS THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED AND THEN OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. AGAIN, WHEN BROKEN, AND THEY BREAK REPEATEDLY, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER CANNOT EXIT THEIR OWN DOOR, WHICH SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE. WE'VE REPLACED BOTH DOOR HANDLES ONCE, AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER'S HANDLE A SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR WAS AT 20,000 MILES. IT'S NOW AT 70,000 MILES, AND HAS HAPPENED FOR THE THIRD TIME.

FAN ASSEMBLY MOTOR NOISE I DRIVE A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 39K MILES AND A FEW DAYS AGO I NOTICED A LOUD NOISE WHEN THE CLIMATE SYSTEM WAS ON. I TOOK IT TO DEALER TODAY AND THEY STATED THE FAN ASSEMBLY MOTOR IS BAD. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS PART. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER FOR AT LEAST 3-4 WEEKS. SO THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX MY CAR EVEN IF I WANTED THEM TO. AFTER SOME READING THIS SEEMS TO BE A PART ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A 2 LANE ROAD (CHENAL PARKWAY NEAR MARGEAUX IN LITTLE ROCK, AR)AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE SUNROOF SUDDENLY POPPED AND SHATTERED CAUSING GLASS TO FALL IN TO THE CAR ON TO MYSELF AND MY DOG RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND OUR OTHER DOG WERE IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS SECTION OF THIS STREET IS SOMEWHAT HILLY. NO POTHOLES WERE IN THE ROAD. ONE OTHER VEHICLE WAS IN VIEW AT TIME OF INCIDENT. A VERY CLEAN (NO DIRT OR DEBRIS ON IT)NEWER MODEL PICKUP TRUCK WAS APPROXIMATELY 5 CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF US. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 6:30 PM ON 3/13 AND SKIES WERE SUNNY AND CLEAR. WE SEARCHED THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR OF THE CAR AND THE ROAD IN THE AREA AND COULD FIND NO EXPLANATION FOR THE BREAK. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS INJURED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS 59,800 MILES ON IT, DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE VEHICLE STARTED RIDING REALLY ROUGH AND ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND. DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO NISSAN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. TECHNICIAN CALLED THE NEXT MORNING TO INFORM ME IT HAS A BAD FAN MOTOR ASSEMBLY. ITS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER FOR WEEKS. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2015 PATHFINDER BUT STILL MAKES THE CONSUMER PAY ALL OR PART OF THE REPAIR. ONLY AFTER COMPLAINING DID I RECEIVE AN OFFER TO PAY 70% OF THE REPAIR. ALTHOUGH I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE OFFER I STILL DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE COST ON A KNOWN ISSUE OF A PART BEING DEFECTIVE. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL SOON ISSUE A RECALL AND OTHERS WONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT AND THE COST I WILL INCUR TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.

RADIATOR FAN ASSEMBLY. MY VEHICLE IS AT APPX 41K MILES. A FEW WEEKS A LOUD METALLIC CLANKING NOISE BEGAN EMANATING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. OUR MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE AS THE DRIVER SIDE RADIATOR FAN (THIS MODEL HAS 2 FANS HOUSED IN ONE ASSEMBLY) HITTING THE ASSEMBLY SHROUD. THE BEARINGS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE BLADE TO ROTATE OFF AXIS. IF THE BLADE SHEARS OFF OR BREAKS IT WOULD LIKELY PUNCTURE THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVERHEATING OR FIRE. NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS AS A RECALL ISSUE, THOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN NISSAN OWNER FORUMS. THIS WHOLE DUAL FAN ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SO OFTEN THAT THE ASSEMBLY IS NOT AVAILABLE. MINE WAS ORDERED ON FEB 9TH. THERE IS NO RELEASE DATE FOR THE PART FROM NISSAN.

LOSS OF ACCELERATION AFTER STOPPING. PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR & NO RESPONSE, NO RPM CHANGE. PUMPED GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES, FINALLY THE VEHICLE RESPONDED AFTER ALMOST BEING HIT. MY VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES & ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE AFTER BREAKING. I DO NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BREAK BUT IT DOES SEEM TO RESPOND AFTER I SWITCH FROM BREAK TO GAS SEVERAL TIMES AS IF IT IS A FAULTY SWITCH.

DEFECTIVE A/C FAN ASSEMBLY

Mileage: 39,500

WHEN STARTING FROM STOP ( AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT) THE VEHICLE PERIODICALLY WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWO TIMES NOW WITH NO CHANGE. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS IN THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND THOUGHT THAT WOULD CORRECT IT, IT DID NOT. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS IN 2WD AND IT WAS WET OUT. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE VEHICLE IN AUTO AND THE GROUND BONE DRY. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND STARTED A CASE. I WAS TOLD TO GET A SECOND OPINION. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE BECAUSE WHEN PULLING INTO A LANE OF TRAFFIC YOU MAY NOT MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS ANS ON COMING TRAFFIC MAY NOT STOP.

MY WIFE AND I LEFT OUR HOME AND DROVE OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER INTO THE CITY ON 27TH STREET GOING INTO MILWAUKEE, AND OUR SUN ROOF EXPLODED, SHOWING GLASS SHARDS DOWN ON US WITH NO WARNING, NO ROCKS, OR NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD TO BE SEEN ANYWHERE. OUR DEALER SAYS CALL YOUR INSURANCE. HOWEVER AFTER READING SEVERAL FORUMS, I SEE THE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER DRIVERS AND WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT. WHEN WE WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR, IT STILL HAD SHARDS OF GLASS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR AND GLASS WAS STILL LAYING ON THE EXTERIOR TOP OF THE CAR. WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE DEALER AND OUR INSURANCE COMPANY ON THEIR HANDLING OF THE INCIDENT.

I HAVE TO RECALL THAT SHOWS ON MY CAR FAX, BUT ONE RECALL HAVE TO PARTS TO REPLACE SINCE MAY 23,2016. HAVE ONLY RECEIVED 1 LETTER IN MAIL AFTER I CALL NISSAN 1800 NUMBER. THE SECOND HAPPEN TODAY FOR CO2 SENSOR. I CALL AND THERE ARE NO SOLUTION IN PLACE, I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND NOW I FEEL ITS A LEMON, THEY EVEN MADE ME REPLACE THE BRAKE FLUID DUE TO IT BEING BLACK, TOO EARLY FOR ME IF SUV IS NEW. I WANT TO KNOW IF LIVES ARE IN DANGER WHY CANT I GET IT REPLACE OR GET A LOANER??? AND WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO DO WITH DEFECTED MERCHANDISE BEING SOLD AT HIGH VALUE???

IT STARTED WITH THE DREADED HESITATING/JERKING THING I HAVE READ ABOUT NISSAN CVT TRANNYS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS A VALVE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, AND NOT THE TRANNY ITSELF. HOW IS A VALVE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION NOT BE A PART OF THE TRANSMISSION?!?! THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE IT AND IT WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS. THEY SAID IF IT MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IF AFTER REPAIR, IT CONTINUES, THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. I THOUGHT NISSAN ALREADY FIXED THIS CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE?

WE WERE DRIVING AT 35 MILES/HR ON A CITY STREET AND SUDDENLY OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED. WE HEARD A LOUD SOUND LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF AND WE WERE IN SHOCK AND SUDDENLY WE SAW GLASS SHATTERED ALL OVER ME MY SEATS AND WE WERE IN AWE. MY DAUGHTER AND WIFE WERE IN THE BACK AS WELL. WE HAD EYEWITNESS AS WELL WHO SAW THIS AND TURNED AROUND AND CAME BACK AND ASKED US WE WERE OK. THEN I CALLED THE SHERIFF AND THEY DOCUMENTED THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME A LOANER AND SAID WE WILL LOOK INTO THIS BY CONTACTING NISSAN ON MONDAY. WE AS A FAMILY ARE VERY SCARED TO GET BACK IN THE CAR.

I HAD SLOWED TO ENTER A PARKING LOT AND AS I TURNED I HEARD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS SOMETHING RATTLING IN THE BACK STORAGE AREA. MY WIFE TURNED TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND SAW THAT THE ENTIRE UPPER REAR GLASS MOON ROOF HAD SHATTERED INTO SMALL PIECES. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT TO LOOK AT IT AND THE FRONT PORTION LOOKED AS IF PRESSURE HAD PUSHED THE GLASS UP FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. AROUND THE AREA THAT APPEARED TO HAVE HAD THE MOST PRESSURE, THE GLASS HAD A HOLE WITH SMALL PIECES FALLING INTO THE REAR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE REST OF THE MOON ROOF WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED BUT STAYED INTACT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE MOON ROOF. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY AND THE DISTRICT MANAGER HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN INCIDENT, BUT REPLACED THE GLASS ROOF. I DIDN'T REALIZE OTHER CARS WERE HAVING THIS ISSUE UNTIL I SAW A REPORT ON TV, SO I WANTED TO ADD MY EXPERIENCE TO THE ISSUE.
