While driving to work on the Florida turnpike, the hood kept vibrating. It look like the hood was lifting and would fly up. My brother looked at it but could not find what would cause the problem so he suggested I take it to the dealers. The dealer told me that it was just the way the hood worked and did nothing. The second time I reported the problem I threatened that if I got into an accident I would sue the company. This time they did take a look at the hood. They did something which resulted inless vibration, however at higher speeds and windy weather, I encounter the same problem.

While opening the door to get out of the vehicle the internal mechanism of the door handle stripped and broke, causing me to have to exit the vehicle on the passenger side. This took a week for Nissan to order the parts and get it fixed. This was a very dangerous situation for my family and I, as I could not exit the vehicle in case of an emergency.

Hood shakes/vibrates at highway speeds. The higher the speed, the more it vibrates, and it is much worse if it is windy; it seems as the hood was not close properly -although it is- and is about to pop open. The dealer claimed that there is nothing wrong with the hood, and simply adjusted some knobs under it, but this made no difference.

Left front interior door handle broke off. You cannot get out of the vehicle. The power window has to be put down, then you have to unlock the door, then reach outside the car to use the exterior door handle to get out.

While traveling at hwy speeds (65 - 80mph) the hood of the Pathfinder begins to move up and down as the wind catches it. It looks like it's about to pop off and crash into my windshield. The dealer orr Nissan in corinth says that this is normal for the Pathfinder and that there is nothing they can do about it. I find it hard to believe that this is what Nissan intended when producing the new Pathfinder. I have a 2004 Nissan titan and it does not have this issue at all. I am afraid to travel on the hwy with this Pathfinder as I have no clue if the hood will detach and crash into my windshield or into a car traveling behind me. This seems to be a very serious defect that Nissan is deliberately ignoring. I have reported this issue to Nissan Consumer Affairs and am waiting to hear back from them.

The hood jumps up and down as you drive on the highway going anything over 60 mph. If it is a particularly windy day, it is even worse. I am terrified that one day it is going to fly up, block my view or break the windshield causing a fatal accident. It makes me dizzy just watching it, but you can't stop watching because you are completely terrified that it will fly up! I have been to the dealership about this. I received the standard, we didn't notice anything on our test drive (mind you they had my vehicle 3 days). The dealership did admit that they have received numerous complaints about the same issue. They told me that it is an "easy" fix, that I just needed to un-screw the 2 rubber pieces on each side of the hood so that they are longer. Of course... they didn't do this at the dealership for me. I had to call back and the technician guided me through it at home. Not much of a fix if you ask me. They 2 rubber pieces only unscrewed one more turn before completely falling out! they are only a little over an inch long to begin with. If this is all that is holding down the hood besides the one metal clamp -- I'm guessing someone's hood is going to fly up one of these days and there will be a class action lawsuit against Nissan. Safety is not Nissan's number one priority that is for certain.

My Nissan Pathfinder is white in color. It is very noticeable that the front and back bumpers, spoiler over hatch back, and the two size mirrors are a different color than the rest of the SUV. These areas appear to be a cream color instead of white. Every person that I have pointed out this issue to agrees with me.I have taken it in twice to the dealership and complained. They took pictures and said that they would file it will Nissan. I have called and haven't gotten any feedback. I am very disappointed and will never purchase another Nissan.

While driving between 60 thru 75 mph the hood vibrates and moves excessively in the air stream. I informed the Nissan dealer and Nissan Consumer Affairs. They did adjust the hood and assured us it was safe but the problem is still there. Since the adjustment I think the movement with the wind made it worse. My concern is fatigue caused from the movement will eventually cause the hood to fly up causing an accident or even blowing off.

Vehicle hood starts vibrating at or above 50mph and even earlier in cross wind.

- Phoenix, AZ, USA

Driving the vehicle approximately 20 - 25 mph, and heard the rear driver's side window slowly cracking, and then by the time we got home, likely due to the heavy wind, it was completely shattered. I've never had a window shatter for no reason whatsoever. In the past I've noticed the window a little slow to go up or down, but had no idea it would result in this. My daughter was sitting in the seat, but thankfully she moved immediately as the cracking began.

The hood of the vehicle will noticeably begin to move up and down rapidly at speeds over 60mph--if its windy the movement becomes even worse. I took it the dealership and was told Nissan is aware of this issue and there is no fix for it. That the rapid movement does not represent a safety issue so the consumer will have to accept it. I was not told or warned about this issue prior to my purchasing the vehicle, but the dealership was aware of it. Nissan Corp. Had already notified the service dept. Of the dealerships that this was an issue that could not be corrected in both the 2013/2014 Pathfinders. I hope the hood catch and mounts can hold up to the constant vibration and movement. It is also an unnecessary distraction and unnerving to the driver when it is driven on the highway.

We, like many other owners, are having problems with the cvt transmission in our 2013 Nissan Pathfinder 4X4. At low speed acceleration, transmission shakes violently and power is lost -- cannot speed up. Also happens at high/highway speeds. It is an intermittent problem but a dangerous one, both when trying to speed up from rolling start or when passing/accelerating at highway speeds. I have contacted Nissan, taken to a dealer where they say they will replace torque converter. I hope this will help but most other owners reporting similar issues say these are not fixes and problems recur. Will report back. Beyond the transmission issue, our hood also buffets significantly at highway speeds. It visibly shakes and when I asked the dealership to fix, they said they could not recreate and it wasn't dangerous.
