Consumer Description

START UP MY NISSAN PATHFINDER 2017 AND START DRIVING ON THE STREET. THEN I TURN ON MY A/C AND THEN I HEARD LOUD NOISE COMING FROM MY ENGINE. IT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE AND HITTING AGAINST SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I PULL OVER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. IT SEEM LIKE THE COOLING FAN WAS LOOSING AND WOBBLING. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND TURN OUT TO A COMMON ISSUE FOR NISSAN PATHFINDER 2014-2017 FROM 30K TO 50K MILES. IT FEEL REALLY UNSAFE DRIVING WITH FAULTY COOLING FAN.
