2023 Nissan Pathfinder Brakes Problems

Your rear brake pads are wearing out much faster than expected—at 29,000 miles, they have only 1mm of material left, while your front pads show normal wear. Your car didn't give any warning lights or alerts before this happened. The fix will likely involve replacing the rear brake pads and inspecting the rear brake system to determine why they're wearing prematurely.

Your rear brake pads and rotors are wearing out much faster than normal — the pads were nearly worn at just 14,600 miles, while the front brakes were still in good condition. This unusual wear pattern happened despite normal driving and no aggressive use, and a Nissan service advisor mentioned seeing this issue on other Pathfinders, possibly related to the brake system's electronic controls or Auto Hold feature. Excessive rear brake wear can reduce your braking power and increase stopping distances, creating a safety concern. The fix will likely require Nissan to inspect the brake system's electronic controls, parking brake behavior, and software to identify why the rear brakes are being applied or dragged excessively.

At 33,221 miles, your 2023 Nissan Pathfinder's rear brake pads were found to be worn out and the rotors needed resurfacing. You mention this appears to be a known issue affecting 2022 and 2023 Pathfinders, with rear pads being smaller than front pads and wearing prematurely despite mostly highway driving. The fix will require replacing the rear brake pads and having the rotors resurfaced or replaced.

Your rear brakes needed replacement at just 20,000 miles because they weren't fully releasing, causing you to ride the brakes continuously. A second mechanic confirmed this was a manufacturing defect, not normal wear. The dealership acknowledged they've seen this problem frequently on this model, which raises concerns about a potential safety issue if the brakes fail completely or remain stuck. This will likely require brake system inspection, possible replacement of brake components, and investigation into the assembly process.

Your rear brake pads and rotors wore out excessively and needed replacement at just over 19,000 miles. While the dealer treated this as normal wear, you believe this is a known issue affecting multiple vehicles that Nissan hasn't addressed through a recall. Fortunately the problem was caught before your brakes failed completely. The fix will involve replacing the worn brake pads and rotors.

Your 2023 Nissan Pathfinder's brakes vibrate noticeably when you press the pedal, feeling similar to warped rotors or worn brake pads—even though your vehicle only has about 25,000 miles. You shouldn't expect brake problems this early in the vehicle's life. The issue likely involves inspecting and possibly replacing the brake rotors and pads.

2023 Nissan Pathfinder Mileage: 51,180 I have replaced the rear rotors twice and rear pads twice since buying this vehicle NEW. In researching using Artificial Intelligence, I find that there is an abnormal frequency of this issue with nissan products. I am asking for an investigation into the cause for this and for remuneration from the manufacturer for the expenses I have incurred. I question the effectiveness of the electronic parking brake. Is it completely releasing the pads from contact?

I took the car in for the NYS inspection and was told that I need new rear brakes. The car is only a year old and has only 16,000 miles on it. Nissan’s own website says that brakes should last between 30-70k miles. I looked into this and found out that premature rear brake failure is a common issue with the new Pathfinder. Nissan is refusing to replace the brakes under warranty, even though it’s clearly a manufacturer’s defect for brakes to fail this quickly. This is a safety concern, because Pathfinder owners could be driving around with bad brakes, expecting them to last 2-4 times longer than they actually do. Brakes failing in one year is completely unacceptable for a modern vehicle. Nissan should recall all Pathfinders and replace the rear brakes for free for anyone affected by this. They should also figure out why the rear brakes are failing early on all of these cars and fix it. I found that there are several class action lawsuits forming around this issue. I filed a complaint with Nissan corporate and they completely dismissed me. They said that brakes are not covered under warranty, since it’s normal wear and tear. I’d argue that brakes failing at 16,000 miles is excessive and abnormal wear, even according to the standards that they set themselves. This is a manufacturer’s defect and a safety concern for drivers, who may not know that they are driving with faulty brakes.

On only 12K miles, rear breaks is generating squeaky sound and dealership informed that break pads need to be changed as it has only 2mm left which is very low for break pads to last.

Was told today that my rear brakes need to be replaced by the dealer. The vehicle has only 18,000 miles and most of that is highway. They said it seems the rear brakes are wearing out faster than normal on these due to the small size of the pad and electronic parking brake. This is not safe and unfair.

At 18,000 miles I was told that I would need to replace the rear brakes as well as the rotors. I only drive in the city and I am not a hard driver. I have never had to replace brakes and rotors within a year of driving.

Rear brakes are worn to require replacement of brakes and rotors at 12,500 miles. No off road driving. Just normal highway and city. Took vehicle in for oil change and dealer service technician noted the wearing of the brakes pads and rotors.

AEB light will come on, telling me that the automatic braking system is not working. Error codes were C2501-4B and C1F05-4B

During routine maintenance, it was noted that the rear brakes needed replacement. The vehicle is only over a year old and had less than 20,000 miles when this was recorded. In speaking with the dealership maintenance team, they stated that this is a known issue and that Nissan refuses to take any responsibility for faulty systems within their vehicles. The potential for brakes to go out randomly looks pretty likely, increasing the safety risk to the driver and others.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The vehicle failed to stop immediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.
