“We have a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder sl, with 3551 miles on it. We purchased it used on 8-6-2014 with approximately 2240 miles on it, we are the second owner. On 8-20-2014, while attempting to access an interstate from an on-ramp we experienced a shutter and strong shaking of our 2014 Nissan Pathfinder sl, at that time it had approximately 3336 miles on it. We were forced to pull over, almost causing an accident. We turned the car off and restarted it to continue on the interstate but did not experience another incident that day. …”
NHTSA complaint #10629770, filed 2014-08, 3,336 miles“I was involved in a roll over accident and neither the driver or passenger airbags deployed. The side airbags did. The vehicle went head first into the ditch and then flipped over. The vehicle was recalled for the passenger airbag after I first bought it and supposedly fixed. Obviously not. The driver side airbag did not deploy either. My Pathfinder is a total loss. This is definitely an issue. This vehicle has also had multiple other issues including the engine coils, transmission computer and finally the whole transmission has been replaced. Terrible in the snow and vibrates like crazy! …”

NHTSA complaint #11454638, filed 2022-03, 175,000 miles“The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving up a hill during icy road conditions at approximately 10 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. As a result, the vehicle slid backwards down the hill and crashed into a brick mailbox. The catalytic converter warning light was illuminated prior to the failure however the part was on back order. The front air bags failed to deploy and the unknown air bag that did deploy trapped her in the vehicle causing it to need to be cut in order to release the contact. The failure had occurred on several occasion. …”
