Aloha, When I’m driving my SUV and it hits 20mph or more my SUV starts to shuttering or jerking motion for like 2 secs after driving over 20mph, I took it in to get it fix but the shuttering came back after a few days. So I figure it was built like that. But now I can’t even drive it due to its too dangerous to drive. I looked up the problem and joined a form online and a lot of people have the same problem as I do. I wanted to voice my concerns. Best regards,

AROUND 90K MILES I BEGAN TO FEEL A SLIGHT VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING. NOW THAT MY EXTENDED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WARRANTY IS OUT, IT RAN OUT AT 100K AND I CURRENTLY HAVE 105K MILES ON IT, THE VIBRATION HAS BECOME MORE NOTICABLE AFFECTING ACCELERATION . UPON REVIEWING MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE I FEEL LIKE I AM HAVING SAME ISSUE. THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IT USED TO ACCELERATE FAIRLY SMOOTH BUT NOW VIBRATES, IF YOU RELEASE THE GAS SOME AND REAPPLY THE GAS, IT SEEMS TO HELP IT SMOOTH IT OUT. SMOOTHS OUT OVER 60 MILES AND RUNS PRETTY SMOOTH. SO PROBLEM OCCURS DURING ACCELERATION BETWEEN 15 TO 45 MILES PER HOUR

GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY RECALL. THE GEAR SHIFT STICK GOT STUCK IN PARKING, IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK I NEED TO USE THE EMERGENCY PARK RELEASE BUTTON WHICH CREATES A SAFETY RISK BECAUSE WHEN YOU USE THE EMERGENCY RELEASE BUTTON THE BREAK NEEDS NOT BE APPLIED WHICH MAY CAUSE A CRASH, INJURY OR DEATH. IN NISSAN SERVICE SHOP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, COST - $850. SWITCHING GEARS SAFELY IS AN ESSENTIAL VEHICLE FUNCTION AND THE GEARS SHIFT STICK IS NOT A WEARABLE PART FOR WHICH MALFUNCTION I SHOULD PAY.

FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE ON INTERIOR BROKE. WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN FROM INSIDE. MUST ROLL WINDOW DOWN TO REACH EXTERIOR HANDLE TO OPEN DOOR. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT ON MANY 13 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX AND ONE THAT MAY BE REQUIRED MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN IF OCCUPANT MUST EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY. THIS HAPPENED WHILE SITTING IN A PARKING SPOT AND WAS STATIONARY

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.

PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. FIRST TIME FIXED BY NISSAN BASED ON RECALL ISSUED.

WHILE TRAVELING AT HWY SPEEDS (65 - 80MPH) THE HOOD VIBRATES AND MOVES EXCESSIVELY IN THE AIR STREAM. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO POP OFF AND CRASH INTO THE WINDSHIELD. MY CONCERN IS FATIGUE CAUSED FROM THE MOVEMENT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE HOOD TO FLY UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN BLOWING OFF. *TR

OUR 2013 NISSAN PATH FINDER HAS BEEN "SHAKING"/SHUTTERING SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. EVERY TIME WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE THEY SAID IT WAS "NOT REPRODUCIBLE". FINALLY THE NOISE GOT SO LOUD THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. LESS THAN 2 DAYS AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. WE TRIED TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO ACCELERATE. WE ALMOST CRASHED WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE THEN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 5-10 MPH AND STARTED DUMPING FLUID IN MY DRIVEWAY. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ASSIGNED A TECH WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE WITH US AND DOCUMENT THE INCIDENT. THE TECH WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR A MONTH AND THEY PUT THE VEHICLE ON THE RACK AND "FIXED" IT WITHOUT DOCUMENTING THE ISSUE WITH US. I AM GOING TO CHECK IT OUT TODAY. HOWEVER THIS IS SUBVERSIVE AND THEY ARE ACTIVELY NOT TRYING TO DOCUMENT THE ISSUE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ONLINE. *TR

MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS INTERMITTENTLY LIT UP THE DISABLED PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WHILE A FULL-SIZED ADULT WAS SEATED CORRECTLY IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. MY OCS MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED IN MAY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECALL. YET, MY CAR STILL CHOOSES TO CLASSIFY CORRECTLY A SEATED ADULT WEIGHING 150 LBS TO 280 LBS AS EITHER AN EMPTY SEAT OR ONE OCCUPIED BY A CHILD OR SMALL ADULT, SHUTTING OFF THE AIR BAG ACCORDINGLY. WHEN THE AIR BAG IS OFF, NO AMOUNT OF FIDGETING OR RE-POSITIONING WILL MAKE THE OCS RECLASSIFY THE PASSENGER (CONTRARY TO WHAT THE SAFETY SERVICE BULLETIN UPDATE SAYS). THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME ON MY LAST VISIT CONCERNING THIS MATTER THAT IF MY PASSENGER IS RECLINED OR LEANING ON THE DOOR, IT WOULD DISABLE THE AIRBAG. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I HAD MY PASSENGER, A 6 FT, 240 LB MAN SHIFT TO TRY TO GET THE OCS TO RECLASSIFY HIM, TO NO AVAIL. THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WAS TO STOP THE CAR, TURN IT OFF AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPLACE THE SENSORS SINCE NO ERROR CODES ARE STORED IN THE SYSTEM. MY CAR HAS JUST COME BACK FROM ANOTHER "REPAIR" AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY HANDED ME A STACK OF PAPERS THAT EXPLAIN THAT THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS FOR THE PASSENGER'S OWN PROTECTION, AND GAVE SUGGESTIONS THAT INCLUDED MY ABOVE "FIX." IT IS INSANE TO SUGGEST THAT THE SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY, BUT I MIGHT HAVE TO STOP MY CAR AND WAIT A MINUTE TO MAKE IT DO WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO ON START UP. FOR OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE, THE PAPERS ALSO SUGGEST THAT THE OCS CAN BE TAKING TOO LONG TO CLASSIFY YOUR PASSENGER BECAUSE YOUR A/C FAN SPEED IS SET TOO HIGH. THE "FIX" IS THAT YOU SHOULD SIT AND SWEAT SO THE PROPERLY FUNCTIONING OCS CAN DETERMINE THE CORRECT CLASSIFICATION FOR YOUR PASSENGER. *TR
