general problems of the 2015 Nissan Pathfinder - part 2

I have a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder starting at 64000 miles I have taken the car in several times due to the heating and cooling system. Lately I have been having problems when I press on the accelerator the car doesn't want to go. In addition, it seems to hydroplane and jerk if the road is wet and you go over 40 miles per hour. This is so very dangerous!! is this being addressed by Nissan? I need someone to contact me for a fix.

When accelerating and maintains normal commuter speeds 34-70mph the transmission is loud and in instances jerks as if it is not catching the next gear. My car is 4yrs old with 77k miles and there shouldn't be a need for a new transmission, which local Nissan dealer says I need. Review have shown this in the past so I want to make aware that the problem is not fixed.

Have had vehicle in three times for shuddering and jerking, now that it's out of warranty they say it's the rear end. It was same complaint 1st and 2nd time, but now want me to pay out of pocket that is obvious by this website is a major problem with 2015 Pathfinders. I am on phone calling corporate. This is obscure car is only 4 years old.

Pathfinder recal. Car "shutters" and "stutters" when transitioning in between gears. Additionally, while in drive, entering a freeway on ramp, moving at approximately 30 mph, the car wouldn't accelerate, it was as if it was in neutral. The car has 69,000 miles on it, and for the past year, at approximately 53,000 miles, it's been "stuttering and shuttering" while transitioning in between gears.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving, the vehicle jerked and lost power. Bommarito Nissan hazelwood (661 dunn rd, hazelwood, mo 63042, (314) 731-2228) diagnosed that the entire transmission needed to be replaced, which would cost over $5,000. The manufacturer was contacted and offered a partial repair to replace the valve body and a partial replacement of the transmission for only $500. The repairs were completed in June of 2019. The failures recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer, but they found no failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 101,000.

I had my transmission flushed at approx. 52k miles on 2/23/2019. In April 2019, the transmission begin having issues. Rpms would ride high; however, transmission would not up-shift. Occurred despite accelerator pressed to the floor. When releasing the accelerator and pressing again, the transmission would jerk and begin to up-shift. Issue is intermittent. Can occur when taking off after stopping at an intersection, and suddenly when smoothly accelerating upon entering freeways. Having safety concerns, I took the vehicle to Nissan and explained the issue as noted above on 5/8/2019. Despite telling josh kern the issue was the transmission, I later discovered he recorded the issue as ". . . The throttle wasn't responsive. " he called saying the car was driven 60 miles and the issue was resolved by performing a "idle relearn" and "self learn" software update. Because of this, the vehicle now idled very high. After driving it a few days, the issue occurred again. Reviewing the service doc, I realized the vehicle was only driven 1 mile and not the 60 miles. It also had notes from the technician that "issue could not be duplicated. " I returned to Nissan to speak to the service manager, but he was not available. While there, I requested all hard-copies of work performed. On one page was written notes about erasing codes, mention of the trans. , engine & iacv-aac, ecm on faded print-out of codes. Made other attempts to contact manager with no success. In Aug. 2019, the dealership gm put me in contact w steve zani (asst. Serv. Mgr. ) he was very helpful, but was unable to duplicate issue. High idle from update seems to be masking issue frequency. Called niss con affairs-case36982668. Renee' was no help. Refused to update case or call dealership. Had my name wrong, elusive and short on phone. Worried issue not given proper credence; despite defect and safety concerns.

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.

In the last several weeks, I am experiencing loss of acceleration for my Nissan Pathfinder 2015 (33,000 miles). For some reasons, there is no acceleration nor rpm increased when I floored the gas pedal for several seconds after releasing the gas pedal (coasting) due to traffic stops or want to make a turn or after full stop. The car was coasting around 20 mph and didn't accelerate.

Break lights will stay on even if the car is parked. It will stay on while driving. When this happens I have to disconnect the battery for the break lights to go off. Rediculous! the other issue is loss of power. Usually when this happens the skid dummy light will turn on and stay on. When accelerating from a complete stop, the car will not go when I push the gas. Even if the accelerator is fully depressed the car will not move. This also occurs while in motion. It has happened while trying to accelerate onto the highway and there was loss of power. I have almost gotten into several accidents with my children in the car and from my research I am not the only owner of Pathfinder that this has happened to. This is a total safety issue and the vehicle needs to be recalled before some one is seriously injured or killed!!!.

Cooling fan vibration noise in driving and stationary mode.

My cvt transmission is so loud that I was almost t boned by a fire truck because I could not hear the sirens. Please help!.

While driving my Pathfinder on major highways and roads, I would be merging into traffic, turning onto a road and just trying to accelerate. The vehicle often loses all power and decelerates. I have placed the gas pedal all the way to the floor, and yet have no power. It takes at least 10-15 seconds to regain power and be able to accelerate again. Often times I've been close to being rear ended, especially on major highways, with my 2 month old niece in the vehicle with me by tractor trailers. I fear for the safety of myself and anyone in the car with me, as well as other drivers who have potential to rear end me as I lose power. This has occurred on route 70 in new stanton, PA, route 119 (several parts) in greensburg, PA, various locations on route 30 in greensburg, PA, cameo lane, greensburg, PA, twin lakes park, and george's station road in greensburg, PA, as well as route 217 in derry, PA and indiana, PA. This was taken to a Nissan dealership in greensburg, PA twince for the same issue, and they haven't been able to replicate the issue, but claimed the first time it was in, that it was a faulty brake switch, and replaced it for $217. 00. That did not resolve the issue and it was back into the dealership a week later. I have found several websites, including a news station that covered this issue (with a fatal accident) and Nissan has never corrected the problem in any of the cases.

On or about January 19, 2019 while attempting to make a left hand turn at the interception of roscoe and woodman Ave. In panorama city, California and whereas with no warning nor any indicator light came on either before or after the vehicle stalled when I tried to quickly accelerate but instead the transmission stalled and ended up thrusting the vehicle forward only to leave me the middle of the interception and exposed to the oncoming traffic and of which it came to screeching stop and literally coming within inches of possibly t-boning our vehicle and or causing a serious accident.

Cooling fan-after turning on the vehicle and the a/c a knocking and rattling noise came from the engine. When I took it in, the dealership said it is a "warped cooling fan" and that if it breaks completely will not cool the engine and will cause the engine to fail as well. The vehicle is a 2015 with 54,000 miles on it. We are the second owners and have owned it for 1. 5 years. A vehicle with this mileage and age should not have repairs of this magnitude.

Ongoing issue for three years! please help! cruise control drops out while towing. We almost got hit by an 18 wheeler driving down the road! I had my grandson with me!! the problem I have is unresolved. After numerous attempts and messages to contact charlotte at 6157257808 over the course of at least three-four weeks, I have resolved the fact that Nissan does not care about my issue. Hence I will be contacting the bbb to get this matter resolved to my satisfaction. I am in the market for a new car and it will not be Nissan.

2015 Nissan Pathfinder sometimes will not go when the gas pedal is pressed from a stopped position. 3 different times this has happened to me and my wife. This is an extremely dangerous situation. It happened the last time as we were trying to cross four lanes of traffic at an intersection. As the light turned green and we tried to go it only idled across the intersection we got it to the dealership ASAP it's been there a week so far. Vehicle was manufactured in Aug 2015. I purchased it used but certified! please investigate to see if the problems they had with the 2013-2014 models are continuing. I have heard it might be the transmission? all maintenance has been performed according to carfax, including at 9,774 an engine power train computer module reprogrammed. Certification was done by Nissan on 8/21/2018 and purchased by us. On 9/2/2017. Any help to keep me and my wife safe will be appreciated.

When accelerating from a stop, at low speeds, the vehicle stutters/judders for a few seconds. It has been progressively getting worse, even starting to show up at medium speeds, to the point where we think the vehicle is going to stall. If you push on the gas it eventually goes throught the stuttering. Since no codes are indicating they will not look at the issue.

The ac and heat fan makes loud sounds started in summer 2017. It's so loud that I have to turn it completely off now.

Warning light appeared - dealer indicated needed new transmission under warranty has been with dealer for seven working days and they are having difficulty repairing the issue dealer indicated other Pathfinders have same problem. Light appeared when I turned on vehicle -.

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.

When driving and pushing the gas the car will not go, it seems it gets stuck and the car just doesnt move, after pushing the gas hard a few times and sitting in the middle of traffic the car then goes. This has happened so many times. Have taken it to the Nissan dealer and they say they fixed it by replacing a part. After maybe 1000 miles later it starts doing it again. Take it back to dealer and they say nothing is wrong they checked the computer and this was at 59k which had me mad as the warranty would be expiring soon and the dealer says to bad we will be at fault if it happens again since out of warranty. This happens on a street. And is very scary when pulling out in front of cars and then the car wont go.

While towing under the capacity of the vehicle tow specification, the vehicle dropped out of cruise control (set at 65 mph). This caused an unexpected slowdown of almost 20 mph and my family and I feared getting hit at that speed (45 in a 65 when people are driving at 75 or more). Nissan technicians witnessed this happen.

While driving our Pathfinder in stop and go traffic, I've started to notice and feel a juddering & jerking motion coming from the transmission/powertrain every time I depress or press on the gas pedal at between speeds of 15 to 40 mph. I plan to report this to Nissan along with a couple more issues like the crackling sound coming from the front suspension usually after reversing back out of a driveway then moving forward while slightly turning the wheel back to a straight position. Could be a bearing issue, racking pinion or possibly the brake issues that have been recalled. I will also report the constant announce of a crackling sound coming from the wood paneling around stereo and air condition controls. Last but not least the scary & visible shaking of the front hood while driving at speeds of over 80mph. This violently shaking from the hood will certainly let you know that if you go any faster chances are the hood will fly off or cause serious damage to the vehicle or possibly cause an accident. There is no doubt in my mind that this is issue is clearly an aero dynamic flaw. How can they not have been aware of this possible serious safety issue ?.

While taking off from 0-20mph the car will hesitate and jerk. Took the vehicle to Nissan service dept. Back in may 2016 and they could not find nothing wrong with car. Now it has been happening more frequently and we took it back on 11/18/16 and the service dept. Said they still can¿t find nothing wrong with vehicle because there are not check engine code popping up, so they needed permission to have a service tech take it home to see if he can see what we are experiencing and will follow up with us tomorrow. I believe this problem started back in early 2015 when we bought the car, but it would only happen so rarely that I never thought about it until my wife who drives it every day brought it up to my attention.

Since the purchase of the vehicle, my Nissan Pathfinder has failed to accelerate either at a stop or during normal speed. The engine would not stall, but would only accelerate almost at idle speed. The symptom of the problem would occur a couple of time then the slip indicator light would display and stay on until the car was shut down and restarted, I have several pictures demonstrating the issue as described for when the indicator slip light for the limited slip control would display in clear conditions. This would occur in ideal weather conditions and road conditions were clear and my foot was definitely not engaging the brake pedal. This presents a significant safety issue, especially when attempting to pull into oncoming traffic or attempting to pass a slower vehicle. I could depress the gas pedal to the floor with no impact on acceleration. I have had several near misses with oncoming traffic due to failure to accelerate. I took in the vehicle into d-patrick Nissan in evansville, indiana several times and to andy mohr Nissan, indianapolis indiana. In both cases, the dealership was unable to detect any issues with code errors or replicate the issue even after I provide photo evidence of the issue I was having. The failure to accelerate is so random and can happen several days in one week or at least once a week. When it does happen I know it will not change until I can shut down the vehicle and restart. Some instances the failure to accelerate would persist but most of the time is would correct itself after restarting. I am afraid to drive the car with my wife and three children in it. I finally decided to file a complaint after I found another Nissan Pathfinder owner who was having the exact same issue with his Nissan Pathfinder.

Judder is found between 20-25 miles for more than 5 second when accelerating smoothly. The mechanic recorded the judder and sent it to the engineer. The engineer at corporate Nissan told us that it is a normal thing but any car shouldn't have a judder(especially 2015 newest model). A judder also shows in the high speed, but not as much as slow sleep. A judder also appears when the car slows down to a stop. I have to wait until check engine light it up for them to fix the issue. It does not make sense when there is a record of judder but wait until something happens to the car.

After purchasing the vehicle from automation Nissan dallas the transmission , cvt, failed at 2300 miles. There was no heavy use on the transmission. We have not even towed with it. This is unacceptable and the dealer refuses to do anything beyond fix this lemon. Picked up vehicle, 9/17/15 and on the morning of 9/18/15 the fuel light came on. We did not fuel the vehicle or open the fuel cap 9/18/15 the check engine light came on again and the vehicle is back at the dealer.

Every time I try drive from stop car keeep jerking for few minutes.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle jerked and sputtered without warning. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,015.

Potentially faulty brake system or downshift cvt or simulated gearshift system. Details: when driving in slow moving traffic with the brakes partially applied, the vehicle tends to momentarily accelerate and speed up. Concurrently the resistance on the brake pedal tends to decrease, along with a visible down-and-then-back-up jumping of rpm needle. The brake pedal needs to be kept pressed to allow the vehicle to slow down. Took vehicle to dealership (new vehicle, with only 300 miles), the technician noticed the problem I had been explaining. The technician agreed to speak with the engineer the next day. However, next day the dealership stated that they have never encountered such as issue, and it may be simply the down-shift of the cvt transmission. This is unusual in comparison to any other car I have driven. Acceleration of the car during the braking cycle is clearly odd. Potentially dangerous situation when approaching a stop sign or slow traffic zones near schools. Please investigate.

Unsafe condition, this is the design of the vehicle! Nissan will not take any action. Disregarding complaint with the bbb. The car drops out of cruise control going down the highway and looses up to 20mph. We feel unsafe when towing a load! this has happened since the vehicle was new. Nissan made some changes and diagnostic testing but it still is unsafe.

Purchased my vehicle new not long after (less than 200 miles) I started having a jerking (which felt to be in the transmission) at the speed of 20-25 mph. I literally would have to let up off the fuel to make it stop. Give it fuel again making sure I go past the 20-25 mph (which isn't good in school zones) I have had it to the Nissan dealer 3x for this problem and was told that "nothing" showed up on the diagnostic test. I haven't taken it back since. I was approached by an individual who owned a 2012 Pathfinder and he asked me if I had any problem with my car at the speed of 20-25mph? I said yes and what a conversation we had. My car currently has 27,775 actual miles, I'm to nervous to drive it on a long distance from home! with the jerking and I know it has something to do with the transmission (overhauled motors back in the day) there's no way I'm going to be left stranded. It's quite a shame really I spent all that money (paid in full) and I'm unable to use my car for a long trip due to fear of becoming stranded because of a manu. Booboo.
