Radiator: nissian Pathfinder radiator fail after owning for less than 2 years. This is covered under extend warrantee. But base on the past radiator recall, the vechile raidator may not be up to specs.
Engine fan began making loud noise at 74k miles. Took to dealership and was advised to replace the radiator fan. A quick search uncovered countless other owners with the same issue on the same vehicle.
Radiator fan assembly failed and needed replacement as indicated by several Pathfinder owners from 2014 up to the present.
At 48,800 miles radiator fan failed. As was explained to me by service advisor at Nissan dealer, a mounting part failed and caused the fan to rub against the shroud when in operation. Many reports of failure on various websites for model years 2014 -2016, most occurring in the 50,000 mile range.
The radiator fan and shroud assembly and I cannot find replacement parts at any dealer, auto parts store nor junk yard due to so many people needing these parts replaced. I was told they are on backorder and dont know when they will have replacement parts. I was told by a certified mechanic that the car could overheat and stall if these parts are not replaced.
