The cooling fan started making very loud noise at 40000 miles. issue seems very common as hundreds of owners have similar issue. dealer asking $1200 to replace the fan. since this is very common issue affecting most pathfinder cars nissan should issue a recall to fix the issue for free. this is safety related since if defective it will cause engine overheating specially in hot weather.

When the air conditioning compressor is engaged either for air conditioning or defrost it activates a secondary cooling fan on the radiator. this fan started making noise (growling) and vibrating. i initially thought it was the air conditioning compressor. upon presenting this issue to the dealer the service tech. said it was probably the cooling fan. he already knew before he examined the car. once they examined the car they confirmed that is was the fan. cost to me over $1000.00 this noise happened anytime anyplace when the engine was on and the compressor engaged.
Electric cooling fan bearings bad (85,000 miles). research indicates this is a common problem the dealers are aware of, however have not issued a recall, extended warranty, or other customer assistance

With engine running, the electric cooling fans wobble when they come on, most likely due to worn bushing/bearing. the fans don't appear to be hitting anything but make a loud audible tapping noise. driver side fan seems worse than passenger side. the fans come on as soon as i turn on the cabin fan to circulate air; this is 45 degree f weather and "heat" not a/c. internet search shows this problem has been reported by other owners.
Radiator fan motor, seems to be common problem. can hear bearings rattling in the fan motor.
On thursday 12/26 my car started making a crazy sound. by 12/27 i was told by ntb that the cooling fan was in horrible condition. they had to replace it and that is the 3rd one that they had replaced. this is a 2017 nissan pathfinder with 50,000 miles. ntb was surprised by the fan condition with it being a fairly new car.
