Consumer Description

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.
