The vehicle makes a lot of noise when the ac or heat is turned on. seems to originate from the cooling fans. when the ac or heat is turned off the sound goes off too. it's very loud seems like the fans are going off. makes the noise whether moving or still as long as the ac or heat is on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan pathfinder. while driving, the vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate; however, the vehicle operated normally while in reverse. after recharging the battery, the vehicle operated normally for several minutes before the failure recurred. the vehicle was towed to keating nissan (333 interstate 45 south, conroe, tx) where it was diagnosed that the alternator was faulty. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 37487331. the failure mileage was 120,000. the vin was unknown.
Vehicle began issues with no acceleration after coming off of the brakes. has to double tap brakes to get vehicle to continue to drive. then it progressed into the tail lights would not shut off after the vehicle was turned off, which would in turn drain the battery. then it progressed once again into the vehicle would not start as it was not sensing the brake being depressed on a push to start ignition system. the fix was faulty relays known in prior years from 2013-2014 same fault in 2015 model but no active recall. second issue when a/c system is activated there's a vibration coming off of the fan assembly which causes a loud sound heard while the vehicle is stationary. also a separate recall on 2013-2014 pathfinder but does not cover the 2015 nissan pathfinder.
Multiple electrical issues after dealer service for 80,000 miles. the safety issue is intermittent acceleration issues when merging into traffic or starting from a full stop. little to no acceleration in those situations. other issues that came up at the same time include: a) intermittent brake lights staying on with vehicle parked and powered off and b) intermittent skid warning light illuminating for no reason.
Break lights will stay on even if the car is parked. it will stay on while driving. when this happens i have to depress brake pedal twice. the other issue is loss of power. when accelerating from a complete stop, the car will not go when i push the gas. even if the accelerator is fully depressed the car will not move. this also occurs while in motion. it has happened while trying to accelerate onto the highway and there was loss of power.
From a complete stop my car would not accelerate faster than 10 mph. it has happened several times now. the first time i was on the highway in stop and go traffic and when it was time to accelerate, i was unable to even pressing the gas all the way to the floor. i had to pull over and brake, then hit the gas and it was able to go again. the next time was after braking at a stop sign. the third time was after stopping at a red light. i had heavy traffic behind me and i could only go 10 mph. i even noticed after i parked my car and got out of it my brake lights were still on as if someone was sitting there pressing the brake-which wasn't the case at all. this is very dangerous. i had my child in the car all three times and im lucky i did not get rear ended.
Three times this week we have tried to accelerate our vehicle with no response. in addition, three times this week the brake lights have stayed on after shutting the vehicle off. the brake lights will stay on until you operate the vehicle again. the one day we didnt notice for about 40 minutes. i have read there have been recalls for the 2013 and 2014 brake relay switch so i'm thinking this is the same issue.
Break lights will stay on even if the car is parked. it will stay on while driving. when this happens i have to disconnect the battery for the break lights to go off. rediculous! the other issue is loss of power. usually when this happens the skid dummy light will turn on and stay on. when accelerating from a complete stop, the car will not go when i push the gas. even if the accelerator is fully depressed the car will not move. this also occurs while in motion. it has happened while trying to accelerate onto the highway and there was loss of power. i have almost gotten into several accidents with my children in the car and from my research i am not the only owner of pathfinder that this has happened to. this is a total safety issue and the vehicle needs to be recalled before some one is seriously injured or killed!!!
At intermittent times while driving the vehicle will not accelerate when you push on the gas, this is very dangerous not only to me but to other people because it has almost caused accidents . when this occurs the traction control light will come on and remain lit until the car is restarted. also the brake lights will stay light . it has been taken to the dealership where no codes could be found, on 05/02/2018 it was taken back to the dealership after many calls to nissan motors about this problem they gave me a reference case # of 30341997 all this was given to the dealership to try to find the problem a second time after they were contacted by nissan and myself. after 7 hours of having my car for diagnostics i was told it appears to be a factory defect that needs 3 parts ordered to do a work around. two new wiring harnesses and a switch that will allow them to bypass brake switch relay and reroute to body control module , i was told this would cost and additional $500 plus on top of the $121.62 i already paid for the diagnostics i do not think a consumer should have to pay for a factory defect firstly, then how is this work around going to affect the safety of my vehicle for myself and others? also nissan must be well aware of this problem for them to already have manufactured these parts to do a work around to correct it. are they trying to risk people lives to save a dollar? so in summery i have an acceleration problem that is going to get someone killed traction control issue that i have no idea if it is working correctly or not or if it is going to be disabled. brake lights that stay on when driving when this happens that other drivers can't tell if i am applying the brakes or not. don't like the idea of having such a new model car have a safety issue workaround done on it that it was not designed for.
Hello, last night i had to help my sister with her nissan altima 2013 because when she shifts her car from park to reverse or drive the altima stalls and will not drive. when i popped the hood i noticed that her battery was in very bad shape. it was heavily corroded. i cleaned it and tried, but the same symptoms happened. the altima would stall. we ended up replacing the battery. that was her third battery to be replaced. why is that? her altima is only 75k miles. this morning i decided to check our 2015 pathfinder to find the same symptoms. my battery was corroding. i decided to clean the battery and add a battery grease to mitigate corrosion in the future. i checked the internet blog regarding this issues and its evident that nissan has issues with their car batteries corroding. can nissan explain what is going on with this corroding batteries? what can nissan do to take care of nissan owners? please advise. thank you,
Vehicle start button is in a unsafe location. knee keeps hitting while driving and car turns off. it needs a cover or smarter switch so that a accidental touch cant shut the car off while driving. it's a severe hazard!!!!!!
