Brake lights stay on and vehicle has loss of power when trying to accelerate and the when brake lights go off it goes back to full power. this is a known issue with this model but it appears my vin number isn't covered although it has the same issues as other 2013 nissan pathfinders. i have less than 61000 miles on the vehical.
Brake lights found to be staying on while car was parked in the garage, this causes the engine to reduce power potentially causing an accident if it reduces power while driving, or by following vehicle thinking that you are braking when you are trying to accelerate.
When i driving my vehicle at the time to accelerate my car just do not response...i press the acceletor pedal to the floor and still with no power...this happened to me many times in the highway and a local roads....i just panicked...i feel unsafe in my car now,i may finished rear ended on the road.
The brake lights don't turn off. it dosen't matter if the c as r is in motion or the engine is off.
My gear shift no longer works and i have been putting a screwdriver in to manually override it for over a year. yesterday, i put the car in reverse and the brake wouldn't engage. i took my foot off and put it back on the brake and again the car continued to roll. i put it in park and restarted and it worked fine. i have read this may have to do with a brake light switch and this is also related to the shifting problem, but nissan says there is no recall. i was putting up with the gear shift as i didn't think it was a safety risk but i definitely could have had an accident backing out of the parking space yesterday.
My vin number did not show in recall however over 80,000 vehicles had same problem i am having. the break light switch, electrical relay is sticking and caused break lights to be on when car is turned off and i am not in the car. then when driving break lights come on and i am not pressing the breaks. also the car would not go when should and i have to hit the gas paddle again to make it move. scary getting on the freeway.
The brakes appear to be hard to apply . they appear to be hard to grasp and they are shaky when applying.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. while the vehicle was stopped at a red light, the brake pedal traveled down to the floorboard when very light pressure was applied. the vehicle was taken to faulkner nissan harrisburg (3925 paxton st, harrisburg, pa 17111, (717) 558-8220) where the contact was informed that there were no failures after test driving the vehicle. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 72,000.
Last month, i noticed that when i was at a full stop, the vehicle would not always accelerate when i touched the gas pedal. i also noticed that when this happened, my brake lights would remain on and the cruise control would not work. this happened multiple times over the span of two weeks. after checking out the problem online, i became aware that on may 31, 2016, 79,853 2013-2014 pathfinders were recalled for defective break light switches (campaign number: 16v380000). after taking my vehicle to my dealer, i was told that my issue stemmed from a defective break light switch and stop lamp relay - the exact same reason 79,853 pathfinders were recalled in 2016 (please see attached pdf copy of receipt). yet my vehicle was not part of that recall. when i pointed this out to my dealer i was told that it might be because my vehicle came off a different assembly line. although i am no expert, this makes little sense, since the defective parts would be the same no matter where the vehicles were assembled. therefore i am writing to inform you that more vehicles ...
When braking, i have to push the brake pedal to the floor in order to come to a complete stop and to keep the vehicle from rolling at stop lights. even when the pedal does not go all the way to the floor, the brakes are "soft". many times, the brakes do not seem to start working until the pedal is pressed down about 3/4 of the way to the floor. speed does not seem to be a factor, the brakes just don't work. upon releasing the brake pedal, there is a high-pitched squeal that can only be heard inside the vehicle. i have taken the vehicle to nissan 4 times for this issue with no permanent resolution. i have noticed that there are a significant number of complaints regarding this issue with this vehicle. it seems that nissan will not address this issue without the federal government stepping in, be it nhtsa or the courts - most of us cannot afford to go the the legal route as we're spending too much on "band-aid" repairs at nissan. please take some action on this matter, too many lives are at stake. ...
We recently replaced the transmission under warranty and now the vehicle will not shift from park. the override from the brake pedal to the transmission does not function. don't know if this is a solenoid or mechanical issue. dealership says replace mechanism and see if this $1000 fix corrects situation
At first the brake pedal was fading to the floor at a stop. replaced the master cylinder. condition better but pedal still spongy and then, additionally, when driving, at random times the brake pedal goes down 3/4 of the way before any brake pedal pressure is felt and the vehicle is able to stop. this is very scary as you are not sure if the vehicle is going to stop or not. dealer then replaced abs actuator with no remedy to random problem. dealer additionally replaced master cylinder again with no better outcome. dealer unable to fix this serious brake problem even after consulting and troubleshooting with nissan engineers. now we are unable to drive vehicle until nissan engineer can get to dealer in 2 weeks? to personally troubleshoot the brakes. vehicle only has 57,000 miles on it and now is on it's 3rd master cylinder and 2nd abs actuator with no safe solution as of yet.
I brought this vehicle in april of 2017, with 41,000 miles. i did not even have the vehicle a year before i noticed that when i am driving the vehicle it starts to stall at times, it does not pick up speed at all i have to push the accelerator two or three times before it picks up, and this happens at traffic lights and even when i'm on the interstate. i am really fearing for my life, because this is the only vehicle i have right now to drive. when i go to park the vehicle, and shut it off the brake lights stay on, and they don't go off. i have to get back in the vehicle move the vehicle and then shut it off. sometimes i have to do this three or four times before the brake light goes off. i reported this issue to the nissan dealership, who have told me there is no recall for this problem, and since it happens periodically through the day i have to keep making appointments, so they can try to find the problem. very frustrating.
Nissan pathfinder 2013 revs engine and jerks vehicle while firmly pressing brake (at a stop light). at first, i thought it was just the wind, but it kept happening for weeks. then i noticed the rpms jump when it happened. furthermore, the vehicle would slowly roll forward if stopped on a hill, requiring pressing the brake pedal all of the way to the floor. just yesterday, it revved and jerked about a dozen times. the vehicle has the latest recalls done as of april/may when i took in in for service (rosen nissan) and they verified the brake system was ok. vehicle should not be revving and trying to turn tires while it is stopped.
