“I have taken my 2011 Nissan Pathfinder to the dealer over the past 4 months because of brake issues. Was given the run around but finally resolved the main issue. However, now I noticed that my seat belts never lock when riding in the car. I feel this is a major safety issue that needs to be looked into. While riding in the car you can always lean forward even if the car is stopped especially when the brake is engaged, there is never any tension in the seatbelt like my other cars. Pleas have someone look into this!”
NHTSA complaint #10523527, filed 2013-07, 26,000 miles“My airbag light and seatbelt light are on and the horn has stopped working. Frame and front suspension is making a horrible creaking sound and has been for months. Frame seems to be rotted … I’ve taken it to multiple places to have it looked at…. I’ve also seen other complaints on here of people having the same issue! This poses a huge safety risk! Definitely needs a recall for both issues!”
