2 Brake Disc Pads problem of the 2015 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 09/14/2018

Brakes make a clicking noise almost as if the pads are bouncing around at any speed with light brake application. Engine cooling fan is making a racket bouncing off of shroud when the heat or a/c is turned on. It is the passenger side fan. Just bought the vehicle used and only has 50k. Nice vehicle, just wish I didnt have to turn around and make repairs that should not be needed.

3 Brake Disc Pads problem of the 2016 Nissan Pathfinder

Failure Date: 07/27/2018

While sitting at a red light my car started to move. The brake pedal went to the floor and the emergency brake would not work or click in. The car would not stop when placing it in neutral either. My car would only stop after placing it in park. Luckily no motor vehicle accident occurred. My brake pads are in good shape, brake fluid is full. I took my car to a local Nissan dealer and they can also find nothing wrong. This is worrisome as this can be fatal if I was driving at a fast speed. Please look into this as there have been reports of brake failure resulting in death of other Nissan models.

1) my drievr side door level broke unable to exit vehicle. 2) vehicle sometimes takes a long time to stop without warning. 3) on a curve while brking or from brake to acceleration the vehicle stutters or hesitates to go. Almost hit several times because as I lightly hovered the brake while turning or in straight line it hestiates to provide acceleration. (dealer said nothing they can do for this)they need codes I was told. 4) all brake pads and rotors both went bad before 25,000 miles. 5) right front bearing went bad at approx 6000 miles causing accelerated tires wear (I had to buy new tires) at 10k miles on a 60-75k tire. 6) passenger side air bag warning light stays on all the time(currently had car in they said they were getting a part) I average 10-12k a year and park in a large open driveway.
