The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving up a hill during icy road conditions at approximately 10 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. As a result, the vehicle slid backwards down the hill and crashed into a brick mailbox. The catalytic converter warning light was illuminated prior to the failure however the part was on back order. The front air bags failed to deploy and the unknown air bag that did deploy trapped her in the vehicle causing it to need to be cut in order to release the contact. The failure had occurred on several occasion. The contact did not sustain any injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it remained pending an investigation from Nissan. The contact received NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V774000 (Engine and Engine Cooling, Hybrid Propulsion System) back in 2021 however parts had not been available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that there was no remedy for the recall repair. The contact was concerned that it will take 3 months for Nissan to conclude their investigation with the vehicle failure and that in the meantime she was left with no transportation. The failure mileage was 130,000.

Transmission intermittently shudders at 10-20 mph causing poor drivability and potential loss of control. Transmission has been reprogrammed several times and replaced with a rebuilt transmission at 19,413 miles. Shuddering has started again, the dealer applied the latest recall (PC357) but no real change in operation. I started a case with Nissan Consumer Affairs (18336725) but the contact has been extremely difficult to actually talk with. Nissan left one voice mail while I have left 6 voice mails over 2 days with no call backs.

I was involved in a roll over accident and neither the driver or passenger airbags deployed. The side airbags did. The vehicle went head first into the ditch and then flipped over. The vehicle was recalled for the passenger airbag after I first bought it and supposedly "fixed." Obviously not. The driver side airbag did not deploy either. My Pathfinder is a total loss. This is definitely an issue. This vehicle has also had multiple other issues including the engine coils, transmission computer and finally the whole transmission has been replaced. Terrible in the snow and vibrates like crazy! this vehicle is obviously unsafe and garbage!

We have a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder sl, with 3551 miles on it. We purchased it used on 8-6-2014 with approximately 2240 miles on it, we are the second owner. On 8-20-2014, while attempting to access an interstate from an on-ramp we experienced a shutter and strong shaking of our 2014 Nissan Pathfinder sl, at that time it had approximately 3336 miles on it. We were forced to pull over, almost causing an accident. We turned the car off and restarted it to continue on the interstate but did not experience another incident that day. The following six days the car began doing the same thing but it would usually be several times a day. I did research on the transmission and found that the cvt transmission is rife with problems. We took the car to the local dealership (not where we purchased it) and they ran a dynamometer diagnostics on the car and said that the transmission would need to be replaced. As we were discussing this issue the tech mentioned that the records showed the transmission in this car had already been replaced once before, at approximately 2000 miles. Also, I was informed by the dealership, who is going to replace the transmission, that they have been unable to get through to the Nissan "cvt hotline" to report the problem and arrange for a new transmission. We have been told by the dealership that it will be replaced but that Nissan is the hold up. It is extremely unfortunate that a car manufacturing company can get away with this and force customer to wait for a resolution when they know (and have known for years) that there is a problem. I sincerely hope that there will be a push by our government to resolve this ongoing problem with Nissan and possibly a very large fine for Nissan's deceptive practices by denying this problem, based on other people's reports who had reported this same cvt transmission problem dating as far back as 2003.
