Radiator problems of the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

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.

Nissan Pathfinder 2017 , 44819 miles , noise in engine due to faulty radiator fan assembly cost 875. 00, mechanic indicated common problem with Pathfinder with less than 50,000 miles . Notice a knocking sound while idling.

When turn on heater, defroster or air conditioner vehicle makes a terrible noise. It's a grinding noise. Further checking it is determined it's the radiator pulley wobbling and hitting against something. By checking this vehicle a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder has multiple complaints about this. So I contacted dealership due to vehicle still being under warranty and they said no matter what to check it you have to pay a 147 dollar diagnostic check first. I explained this is a serious problem with this make and model and I prefer if you can tell me if this is covered by my expensive extended warranty. I was placed on hold for awhile and eventually sent to a voicemail where I left a message. No return calls yet.

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.

I have a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder and it has approximately 46,000 miles on it. A couple of days ago, I turned on my car and heard a clanking noise coming from under the hood. I persisted throughout the day. The next day I went to a dealership and they stated it was a faulty radiator fan and it would cost me around $1,000 to fix it. The manufacturer warrenty is only 3 yr/36,000 miles for basic and 5 yr/50,000 miles for powertrain. This is not covered under the warranty. It was also stated that I should not drive it until I get it fixed, due to the fact it could cause damage to my engine by causing it to overheat. This a fairly new car and I should not have trouble with faulty parts when the car is only 3 years old.

Radiator fan overheats and rattles while driving and stationary when a/c is on and when a/c turns off. On city streets and highways.

While the vehicle is both in motion and stationary, if the heat or a/c is on, the radiator fan motor assembly makes noise and shakes back and forth. I was advised that the vehicle should not be driven due to the fact that the assembly could fall apart creating shrapnel to be throw through the engine bay and the road. After researching this issue with a simple google search and after talking to the dealership, this is a wide spread issue with the Pathfinder which Nissan refuses to address. My dealer advised that they had repaired three of these on the same day I took my vehicle in alone. This is a safety issue which Nissan is taking no responsibility for. If this were to happen at highway speeds, the results could certainty be deadly.
