Owner Complaints (6)
Your car has experienced multiple serious issues: the engine unexpectedly shifts into neutral while driving on the highway, and once shifted into park while you were pulling out of your driveway, leaving you stuck in the road. Your brakes required complete replacement before 20,000 miles, and at 93,000 miles your engine failed completely and needed full replacement. Your sunroof has also been leaking. Resolving these issues would require diagnosis and replacement of the transmission control module, brake system components, and engine assembly.

Gas Pedal broke completely off while accelerating to merge. Took it to the dealership and they ordered a new gas pedal and made the repair. There was no prior warning of anything wrong. This could have caused us to have a wreck when we were accelerating to merge and all of the sudden the gas pedal just busted off and the car dramatically slows down. Definitely a safety issue.
I AM EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE GAS PEDAL GETTING STUCK AND I HAVE TO MANUALLY BEND DOWN AND PULL IT UP WITH MY HAND. I HAVE BIN GOING BACK AND FOURTH WITH NISSAN FOR A YEAR NOW. I HAVE VIDEOS TO SHOW THE PROOF. I HAVE 2 KIDS TO DRIVE IN MY CAR. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY IN THE CAR. I ALMOST CRASHED A FEW TIMES. I REACHED OUT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THEY ARE STATING THAT I SHOULD CHANGE OUT THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE CAR. I CANNOT FINANCIALLY AFFORD THAT AND IT ISNT FAIR TO ME . I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE 3 MONTHS AFTER HAVING THE CAR. I HAVE BIN COMMUNICATING WITH NISSAN EVER SINCE.
While on the highway, I accelerated to pass a vehicle and the gas pedal stuck down quickly accelerating the car to over 90mph. I used the brake to slow the car, tried to stomp on pedal and ultimately had to remove my left shoe and jam my left foot under the pedal to pull it back up. I have manufacturer installed mats positioned in the proper placing with photographs to prove the all weather mat was pushed as far forward as possible.
On January 16, 2022, my husband and I had to be escorted off of the road by a police officer. Luckily, turning off the Pathfinder resulted in resetting whatever occurred. At that time, the vehicle would not accelerate past 20 mph and showing about 4000 RPMs. This happened a few more times in our neighborhood, causing us to turn it off and restart in the middle of the road. Since then, the Nissan dealership has changed the battery, claiming that it was the only computer reading. Within two days of the new battery, it happened again to my husband in Orlando. The dealership is unable to replicate the problem, and my husband and I are afraid as he uses the Pathfinder for travel with business to Atlanta. These "revving" events occur randomly, and the dealership is unable to contact the Nissan engineers until they are able to replicate the problem. It's two days now the Pathfinder has been in the shop with no progress. My husband and I are afraid as this is our work vehicle and only reliable source of transportation.
Upon attempting to rapidly and fully press the accelerator pedal to the floor, the accelerator pedal broke at the point where it connects in the footwell. This occurred while highway driving at an approximate speed of 70 to 80 mph.
