Brake Light On problems of the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder

Brake lights staying on even when brake pedal not depressed and also causing car to not accelerate sometimes and causing the shift interlock to not automatically work to be able to shift out of park.

Brake lights stay on and vehicle has loss of power when trying to accelerate and the when brake lights go off it goes back to full power. This is a known issue with this model but it appears my VIN number isn't covered although it has the same issues as other 2013 Nissan Pathfinders. I have less than 61000 miles on the vehical.

Brake lights found to be staying on while car was parked in the garage, this causes the engine to reduce power potentially causing an accident if it reduces power while driving, or by following vehicle thinking that you are braking when you are trying to accelerate.

The brake lights don't turn off. It dosen't matter if the c as r is in motion or the engine is off.

My gear shift no longer works and I have been putting a screwdriver in to manually override it for over a year. Yesterday, I put the car in reverse and the brake wouldn't engage. I took my foot off and put it back on the brake and again the car continued to roll. I put it in park and restarted and it worked fine. I have read this may have to do with a brake light switch and this is also related to the shifting problem, but Nissan says there is no recall. I was putting up with the gear shift as I didn't think it was a safety risk but I definitely could have had an accident backing out of the parking space yesterday.

Brake lights stay on even after car is turned off and car will not accelerate momentarily intermittently. Also the rear hatch will not open.

Last month, I noticed that when I was at a full stop, the vehicle would not always accelerate when I touched the gas pedal. I also noticed that when this happened, my brake lights would remain on and the cruise control would not work. This happened multiple times over the span of two weeks. After checking out the problem online, I became aware that on may 31, 2016, 79,853 2013-2014 Pathfinders were recalled for defective break light switches (campaign number: 16v380000). After taking my vehicle to my dealer, I was told that my issue stemmed from a defective break light switch and stop lamp relay - the exact same reason 79,853 Pathfinders were recalled in 2016 (please see attached pdf copy of receipt). Yet my vehicle was not part of that recall. When I pointed this out to my dealer I was told that it might be because my vehicle came off a different assembly line. Although I am no expert, this makes little sense, since the defective parts would be the same no matter where the vehicles were assembled. Therefore I am writing to inform you that more vehicles should probably be included in the brake light switch recall; particularly since this is a serious and potentially dangerous issue.

I brought this vehicle in April of 2017, with 41,000 miles. I did not even have the vehicle a year before I noticed that when I am driving the vehicle it starts to stall at times, it does not pick up speed at all I have to push the accelerator two or three times before it picks up, and this happens at traffic lights and even when I'm on the interstate. I am really fearing for my life, because this is the only vehicle I have right now to drive. When I go to park the vehicle, and shut it off the brake lights stay on, and they don't go off. I have to get back in the vehicle move the vehicle and then shut it off. Sometimes I have to do this three or four times before the brake light goes off. I reported this issue to the Nissan dealership, who have told me there is no recall for this problem, and since it happens periodically through the day I have to keep making appointments, so they can try to find the problem. Very frustrating.
