2020 Nissan Pathfinder Suspension Problems

Your vehicle had serious engine and suspension problems that weren't discovered or fixed before delivery. The engine was running too lean (a condition affecting fuel efficiency and reliability), and the suspension had a major defect that could affect vehicle stability and control. The dealership didn't perform a basic oil change or inspection before you took delivery, even though the vehicle had been driven significantly. These issues posed safety risks, especially with a newborn in the car.

Your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder is experiencing premature brake wear, with brake pads and rotors needing replacement three times in less than two years despite having under 70,000 miles. You first noticed a squealing sound when stopping, and although there are no warning lights, the dealership confirmed your brakes were wearing faster than normal. The issue may be related to a suspension or brake system problem that's causing the pads and rotors to wear out excessively. A mechanic will need to inspect the brake system, suspension alignment, and brake hardware to identify what's causing the abnormal wear pattern.

You're hearing a grinding noise coming from your front wheels even after replacing both CV axles, all brake components, and servicing the wheel hubs. This persistent noise suggests there may be an underlying suspension or bearing issue that wasn't addressed by the previous repairs. A mechanic will need to thoroughly inspect the front suspension components to identify the source of the grinding.
