2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Unknown Or Other Problems

THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FAILED. UPON REGULAR USE (I.E., NO PULLING, TWISTING, EXCESSIVE FORCE) IT FAILED TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND MADE A CRUNCHING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE DRIVER DOOR IS TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN AND PULL THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. THE INTERIOR HANDLE MOVES BUT DOES NOT ENGAGE THE DOOR. THE DRIVER CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IF THE POWER IS OFF. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE (DOWN TO THE "CRUNCHING NOISE" DETAIL) ON VARIOUS PATHFINDER OWNER FORUMS ONLINE.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND LOOSE DUE TO INTERNAL PART IS FROM PLASTIC. IT REALLY DISTURBS WHILE DRIVING AND CAN CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT. TEMPORARILY I PUT THIS ON THE SIDE SO WONT BLOCK MY VISION BUT THIS IS NOT GOOD SOLUTION ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE DRIVING FACING THE SUN. I'VE HEARD MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IN INTERNET AND NISSAN SHOULD DO RECALL FOR THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE CAUSING MANY ACCIDENTS.

THE DRIVER'S INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE MALFUNCTIONED, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY. MANY COMPLAINTS EXIST FOR THIS ISSUE. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, BUT I HAVE TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN TO OPEN CAR FROM OUTSIDE. IF LOST POWER I COULD NOT DO THAT.

I AM DRIVING MY 2013 PATHFINDER AND FROM TIME TO TIME, ON THE HIGHWAY OR LOCAL ROADS, EVEN AT TAKE OFF I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THE REVS DO NOT RISE, THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE. I CAN PUT THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND STILL NOTHING. IT HAPPENS ROUGHLY ONCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I LET GO THE ACCELERATOR AND PRESS IT AGAIN AND IT IS BACK TO NORMAL. THE TRUCK IS WARM EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS, SO I CANT SAY IT IS BECAUSE I AM DRIVING THE ENGINE COLD.

A FEW THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FEB 2013 AND THE ISSUES STARED RIGHT AWAY. THE ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IS THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL ALL OF THE SUDDEN. I WILL PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC OR JUST TURNING PERIOD, IT DOES THE SAME THING. IT IS VERY SCARY. I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CLAIMS THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM OR DID NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS I WAS DESCRIBING. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS THE VEHICLE AGES. JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY...

WHILE PARKED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM PASSENGER SEAL. OVER THE NEXT DAY, EVERY TIME THE CAR WAS STOPPED AFTER DRIVING, THE CRACK SPREAD SIGNIFICANTLY. WHEN I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD, NOT COVERED BY NISSAN'S 3 YEAR-36,000 MILE WARRANTY- I FOUND OUT THE WINDSHIELD WAS DEFECTIVE AND THIS HAPPENS A LOT WITH NISSANS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

MY PATHFINDER HAS ALREADY HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED ONCE AND IS STILL HAVING ISSUES. SINCE THIS PAST THURSDAY, IT HAS BEEN HESITATING OR FEELING LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL WHEN IT IS IN DRIVE. I TOOK NOTE OF THE LATEST ONE TODAY. I WAS STOPPED (ON A MAJOR STREET) WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO PASS. IT DID, AND I ACCELERATED TO TURN LEFT AND THE CAR FELT LIKE I HAD PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. IT WAS SLOWLY ROLLING BUT NOT ACCELERATING AS I CROSSED OVER THE ON-COMING LANE AND CONTINUED WITH MY LEFT TURN. I CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS IN DRIVE (IT WAS) AND CHECKED THE SPEED (20MPH) BECAUSE I HAD BROUGHT IT IN LAST WEEK WHEN IT DID IT THE FIRST THREE TIMES, AND THEY ASKED ME WHAT SPEED I WAS GOING WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE TIME PRIOR TO THAT I WAS CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT WIRES ALONG WITH PROTECTIVE RUBBER AND FOAM HAD BEEN CHEWED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

ON JUNE 15, 2013 MY VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I TOOK IN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY. THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TORQUE CONVERTER SO THEY REPLACED IT. THEY CALLED ME 2 WEEKS LATER TO COME GET MY VEHICLE. WITHIN THE FIRST DAY HAVING IT BACK IT WAS SHACKING EVEN WORSE LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. IT SCARED ME. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AGAIN THEY CAME AND PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER'S WERE REPORTING ISSUES WITH THEM AND I WAS TOLD I WASN'T THE ONLY OWNER GOING THROUGH THIS PROBLEM. I SHOULD CALL THE CORPORATE NISSAN OFFICE AND START A CLAIM. I DID SO THAT DAY. I GOT A CALL SAYING MY CAR WAS READY AND THEY WOULD DROP IT OFF...
