general problems of the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

As I was driving my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder, when the vehicle suddenly accelerated to a high rate of speed and the gas pedal became stuck. I tried to press on the brake as much as possible but the vehicle was not successfully able to be stopped which caused a terrible motor vehicle accident.

Nissan Pathfinder vehicles to repair the cvt transmission fluid cooler hose (inter-cooler). The internal fluid cooler (itoc) hose may detach from the cooler due to inadequate clamping force. Inter-coolers may overheat, fail operation causing leaks and possible fires. If this occurs, the cvt transmission fluid will begin to slowly leak and the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) will illuminate on the instrument panel. If the mil is ignored, the cvt transmission fluid will drain further, resulting in noise, vibration and possible fire. If this is ignored, eventually the cvt transmission will no longer operate properly and the the vehicle will stop accelerating, which could increase the risk of a crash and endangerment. Rear hatch on some 2017 Nissan Pathfinders. Specifically, some brackets used to attach the gas struts to the rear door (hatch) may be improperly made, potentially causing the struts to detach from the brackets when opening or closing the door. This could cause the hatch to fall rapidly, potentially striking someone. Identified as 18v-601, that includes the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder for a potential issue where the lift-gate (back hatch) may not lock properly, this will allow lift-gate to open while driving, not lock securely, potentially allowing someone to fall out of moving vehicle.

The contact's daughter owns a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the instrument panel and the infotainment system were inoperable, and the screen was black. The contact stated that the failure persisted while driving, and the contact's daughter was unable to control the side view mirrors. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, where it was diagnosed that the display control unit, part number: 25391-9pj0c had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided because the vehicle was out of warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.

Ac auto amp failed and no cold or hot air is coming out of the vents. Nissan has identified the problem in may 2024 and as of September 2024 they still have not sourced a part that can be used to repair the issue. Safety was put at risk in two ways. First the windshield defroster and defogger do not work. When fog begins to appear on the windshield it affects visibility and has to be wiped off manually while driving. In summer months the temperature of the cabin is excessively hot which can be unsafe over long drives. Nissan has provided no eta for being able to fix this and the cold northeast winter months are coming where it will get dangerously cold. This can be unsafe over long drives in sub freezing temps.

While driving and going down the highway my vehicles hud and all electronics inside the vehicle will just randomly kick out momentarily for not no more the 30seconds, but the head lights stay one and the car still runs. It kicks the cruise control off and this just started happening.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, the vehicle shut off initially without warning. Due to the failure, the contact was hit by another vehicle at a low rate of speed. The airbags did not deploy upon impact. Due to the snowy weather, the contact was advised by the police that both drivers pull off to the nearest exit and exchange information. No police report was filed. No medical assistance was required; however, the contact did sustain mental trauma due to the sudden failure. After the contact exchanged information with the other driver, the failure occurred two more time before she reached her destination. The contact stated that the low battery warning light appeared on the instrument panel after the second failure and the traction control warning light appeared after the third failure. The contact attempted to reach the manufacturer but was informed that she called after business hours. The vehicle was taken to an independent body shop where it remained in their possession for an inspection. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 52,700.

Wire connector harness on alternator wires malfunctioned causing incorrect readings to computer, causing alternator to fail and battery replaced four times till mechanic replaced wire connector harness an wires. . Control arm, and cv axle failed.

Cooling fan bearing rattling before it goes out and causes a vehicle to catch fire or overheat.

Unavailable front radar obstruction,just bought my car last year July,owed so much money to having this kind of problem already,dealer said everything was check out perfectly but I think they lie to me.

I have a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder just reached 58, 888 mi and my heater ac fans are defective and the dealer charges roughly $1,000 for repair this is clearly a manufacturer defect and the consumer shouldn't be held liable Nissan needs put out a bulletin recall for this as many other consumers has complained on this forums and other forums it only seems to happen when I turn on heater control or ac control or defrost I heard the sound before a few months ago but went away now it's there permanently.

Engine coolant and a/c fan rattling the fan on the a/c side fan blade is loose.

Reading forums and doing research has brought me to the conclusion that nisan is buying and has been buying faulty radiator fans for years. My wife does nothing but drive to and from work, averaging around 10k miles a year on her Pathfinder under normal driving conditions and we are being asked to replace a fan that has mysteriously just started making all kinds of noise. Not only is this a problem but it's causing consumers to spend upwards of $1000 to replace this. I have recently found a Pathfinder forum with well over 450 results related to this particular item only. Obviously, this is not covered under normal drive train warranty so this is coming out of consumer pockets. This isn't fair to me or anyone else that I have spoken to. Why would this fan just go out for no reason other than it's a faulty fan with poor workmanship associated with the product. Nissan dealerships are making a killing, $400 to $600 just in labor with all of these problems. If you all go to Pathfindertalk. Com and search radiator fan, you will find all of the problems associated with the fans. It's faulty, it's dangerous and should be Nissan should have to flip the bill for this in the future and maybe they will think about this before they decide to buy cheap materials again.

Loud noise started when engine was turned on and on idle. Was told that it was the radiator blade hitting something. What or why this happened the local dealer has no clue or explanation other then "it just happens on some Nissans" the cost to replace the radiator fan and shroud is about us$1000 on a car that is 39 mths old! seems this happens to enough Nissans that the dealer has seen it various times.

Rattle noise under hood . Found fan for a/c coolant bearing failure fan blade wobble noise started while driving to the market.

I was driving the car on a city street, all of a sudden car started to slowdown and showed low battery sign and got stopped/turned off.

Cooling fans fail with only 44k like so many I been read,Nissan should make a recall this is really comun people state in this model.

Have just under 40,000 miles on my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder and my cooling fan literally wobbles as it spins making a loud noise. It continues to make this noise after the car has been turned off until the fan stops spinning. I researched this and it is a very common problem. A fan shouldn't give out in less than 40,000 miles and the dealer quoted me $1000-1400 for parts and labor to get it fixed. With all the complaints posted for years now - this should be a voluntary recall for Nissan as obviously this fan is a defective. Will think tiwice about another Nissan product for sure. Had a Honda that I drove or 12 years and never had 1 problem out of it.

When the air conditioning compressor is engaged either for air conditioning or defrost it activates a secondary cooling fan on the radiator. This fan started making noise (growling) and vibrating. I initially thought it was the air conditioning compressor. Upon presenting this issue to the dealer the service tech. Said it was probably the cooling fan. He already knew before he examined the car. Once they examined the car they confirmed that is was the fan. Cost to me over $1000. 00 this noise happened anytime anyplace when the engine was on and the compressor engaged.

Back up camera fails to display on screen - also affects air conditioning and radio. When you put the vehicle into reverse, the screen remains blank, it does not turn on at all - 50% of the time the camera works, and 50% of the time the camera does not work.

Cooling fan assembly for radiator and climate control. Known issue across 2014-2018 Nissan Pathfinders. The fans/bearings/internal motors are cheap garbage and are failing. Owners are spending $1,000 on average to correct an issue that is the dealers fault. And in many cases the repair has to be done again because the replacement parts have the same issue. This is a systemic problem. The manufacturer knows it. I might venture a guess that they purposefully used inferior parts that would necessitate repair, at consumer expense.

Instrument electrical panel turns off and on. Working intermittently radio, display screen, ac, back up camera. While driving radio and display screen will restart as it does when you first start the vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. After driving approximately thirty minutes, the instrument panel lost power for a few seconds and the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to surf city Nissan (located at 17331 beach blvd, huntington beach, CA 92647, (714) 500-6010) and test driven, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 27,662.

For the second time while driving my Pathfinder my car simply shuts itself off. It won't move at all. This has happened once going up a hill in December of 2017, and yesterday whole on a busy road. Luckily I was not rear ended. After about 20 minutes my car started normal and ran fine on the way home. If I was on a highway which I normally drive I would have been hit as there are no warning signs before it does this. I have brought it to the dealership and they can't get the car to show a code. My safety and the safety of others is at an all time high in this automobile .
