Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan pathfinder. while driving 30 mph, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact activated the hazard warning lights and continued driving. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was informed that the stop lamp switch needed to be repaired. the vehicle was taken to passport nissan of alexandria (located at 150 s pickett st, alexandria, va 22304, (703) 823-9000), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 68,000.
I had my transmission flushed at approx. 52k miles on 2/23/2019. in april 2019, the transmission begin having issues. rpms would ride high; however, transmission would not up-shift. occurred despite accelerator pressed to the floor. when releasing the accelerator and pressing again, the transmission would jerk and begin to up-shift. issue is intermittent. can occur when taking off after stopping at an intersection, and suddenly when smoothly accelerating upon entering freeways. having safety concerns, i took the vehicle to nissan and explained the issue as noted above on 5/8/2019. despite telling josh kern the issue was the transmission, i later discovered he recorded the issue as "... the throttle wasn't responsive." he called saying the car was driven 60 miles and the issue was resolved by performing a "idle relearn" and "self learn" software update. because of this, the vehicle now idled very high. after driving it a few days, the issue occurred again. reviewing the service doc, i realized the vehicle was only driven 1 mile and not the 60 miles. it also had notes from the technician that "issue could not be duplicated." i returned to nissan to speak to the service manager, but he was not available. while there, i requested all hard-copies of work performed. on one page was written notes about erasing codes, mention of the trans., engine & iacv-aac, ecm on faded print-out of codes. made other attempts to contact manager with no success. in aug.2019, the dealership gm put me in contact w steve zani (asst. serv. mgr.) he was very helpful, but was unable to duplicate issue. high idle from update seems to be masking issue frequency. called niss con affairs-case36982668. renee' was no help. refused to update case or call dealership. had my name wrong, elusive and short on phone. worried issue not given proper credence; despite defect and safety concerns.
Vehicle will not accelerate (no throttle response) randomly and without warning. rpms do not budge despite pedal being to the floor. problem seems to be more common when the steering wheel is turned. shifting vehicle i to neutral briefly and then back to drive seems to resolve problem, but this isn't at all safe turning into in an intersection with cars coming. seems kind of ridiculous this isn't a big deal to an oem.
Loss of power while in motion from a 35 mph zone and went down to 20 mph release gas pedal and regained power. i see the same issue reported other posts. please investigate before the loss of life.
The brake lights remained on while driving and after the vehicle was shut off. at several points, the accelerator stopped working while driving, this happened on a four-lane street and on residential streets.
In the last several weeks, i am experiencing loss of acceleration for my nissan pathfinder 2015 (33,000 miles). for some reasons, there is no acceleration nor rpm increased when i floored the gas pedal for several seconds after releasing the gas pedal (coasting) due to traffic stops or want to make a turn or after full stop. the car was coasting around 20 mph and didn't accelerate.
I have a 2015 nissan pathfinder. i had my transmission changed under warranty after two years and 8 months later i've started to have acceleration problems and the break lights stay on after the vehicle is turned off. usually after a complete stop or yielding i can push the gas pedal to the floor and nothing will happen for several seconds. i actually thought the car turned off the first time it happened. i took it to the dealer and they couldn't duplicate the issue. one week later the same thing happened again. this time i called nissan corporation and was provided a case number and told to take it back to the dealer. the dealer had the car for 4 days and once again stated they couldn't find anything. two days after picking the car up, it did the exact same thing. once again i called nissan corporation and left them a message. i called the dealer and was surprised that they told me i couldn't bring the car in, because they can't duplicate the problem. i submit this is a safety concern that should force nissan to recall all vehicles affected with no acceleration.
Engine rattling, turned out to be a faulty radiator cooling fan. needed to replace whole fan assembly after 50,000 miles. intermittently brake lights will stay on when car is parked, draining the battery. perhaps a brake relay switch. also intermittently, the vehicle has severe issues accelerating. if going 40 mph, and attempt to accelerate, there is little to no response. from full stop, there is occasionally no response at all until releasing and reapplying the gas pedal. this is incredibly dangerous!
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!!!
When trying to accelerate after braking for a traffic signal, often i cannot get the car to accelerate past 10 mph. i shift into neutral, back into drive, and can accelerate properly. i have taken my vehicle to wolfchase nissan in bartlett, tn. they are unable to relocate the problem, thus preventing them from addressing the issue. this happens if i'm stopped at a traffic light, also if i am making a turn in either direction. it doesn't happen every time, but often enough to be considered dangerous.
When turning the vehicle stalls. unable to accelerate. break light switch relay.already a previous recall.
While driving my pathfinder on major highways and roads, i would be merging into traffic, turning onto a road and just trying to accelerate. the vehicle often loses all power and decelerates. i have placed the gas pedal all the way to the floor, and yet have no power. it takes at least 10-15 seconds to regain power and be able to accelerate again. often times i've been close to being rear ended, especially on major highways, with my 2 month old niece in the vehicle with me by tractor trailers. i fear for the safety of myself and anyone in the car with me, as well as other drivers who have potential to rear end me as i lose power. this has occurred on route 70 in new stanton, pa, route 119 (several parts) in greensburg, pa, various locations on route 30 in greensburg, pa, cameo lane, greensburg, pa, twin lakes park, and george's station road in greensburg, pa, as well as route 217 in derry, pa and indiana, pa. this was taken to a nissan dealership in greensburg, pa twince for the same issue, and they haven't been able to replicate the issue, but claimed the first time it was in, that it was a faulty brake switch, and replaced it for $217.00. that did not resolve the issue and it was back into the dealership a week later. i have found several websites, including a news station that covered this issue (with a fatal accident) and nissan has never corrected the problem in any of the cases.
I purchased my nissan in august of 2018. it only had a little over 23k miles. on 12/22/2018 i took my vehicle to baron nissan where i purchased it and advised that the vehicle would not accel when speed was below 20 miles per hour. if i attempted to slow down and then begin to accel again the vehicle would not move. it just rolls as i press the gas pedal many times. then all of a sudden the vehicle would begin to accel. the dealer advised the stop lamp switch needed to be replaced and it was covered under warranty. i left with the vehicle and then two days later i began to have the same issue again. it is random and you never can tell when it's going to happen. this is very dangerous when attempting to get on a highway or making a left turn and the car doesn't accelerate. car went back to baron nissan on 12/29/2018. the vehicle was checked, driven personally by service manager and i was told they could not find an error code stating what the problem could be. now i have reviewed this site and see 3 other owners are having the same problem. now i have recorded my car slip light being on more than on one occasion, my brake lights stay on even when the vehicle is off and i begin to feel the same problem with the vehicle not accelerating. im trying to teach my son how to drive and car would not accel as he was making a left turn. this problem is a very serious safety issue and nissan needs to get a perminant fix immediately. at this time my vehicle has only 29k miles and i will be reporting problem to nissan corporate
Ongoing issue for three years! please help! cruise control drops out while towing. we almost got hit by an 18 wheeler driving down the road! i had my grandson with me!! the problem i have is unresolved. after numerous attempts and messages to contact charlotte at 6157257808 over the course of at least three-four weeks, i have resolved the fact that nissan does not care about my issue. hence i will be contacting the bbb to get this matter resolved to my satisfaction. i am in the market for a new car and it will not be nissan.
While towing a load, the vehicle without warning dis engages the cruise control and cause a safety hazard. i almost got rear ended by an 18 wheeler!!! very dangerous and needs fixed. this happens often!
The car makes a loud shuddering noise and often will not accelerate.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan pathfinder. while driving 25 mph, the accelerator pedal was applied, but failed to respond. the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was taken three times to a local dealer (sandy sansing nissan, 5705 pensacola blvd, pensacola, fl 32505), but they were unable to duplicate the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 57,353.
While towing under the capacity of the vehicle tow specification, the vehicle dropped out of cruise control (set at 65 mph). this caused an unexpected slowdown of almost 20 mph and my family and i feared getting hit at that speed (45 in a 65 when people are driving at 75 or more). nissan technicians witnessed this happen.
