“I purchased my brand new 2103 Nissan Pathfinder december of 2012. I noticed within the first couple weeks that the seat belt warning light on the dash would not go out if I was the only person in the vehicle and I was bucked up. So I took it in to service in early january to deal with a defect in the leather and they said that nothing was wrong with the light and that was how it was supposed to work. So everything was fine for another month when the car started blowing smoke. …”
NHTSA complaint #10501981, filed 2013-03, 1,000 miles“I have been having ongoing issues with my Pathfinder since purchase with the passenger airbag not functioning properly. Initially it would not detect anybody was in the passenger seat and the dealer try to reset the sensor several times with no success. Now all airbag warning lights are on and per the owners manual the vehicle should not be driven. I was told in jan parts were ordered to fix this issue and they are still not in. Needless to say I am very very upset and will be looking into legal actions.”
