Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Since I got the car they have been working on a sensor on the passenger side.. First the air bag sensor then the seat belt sensor. Now the air bag is totally off and wont come back on.. They are telling me the warranty is over this is a manufacturing defect and I want Nissan to pay for the repair.. It is no longer safe to have a passenger with me in the front what can I do?”
NHTSA complaint #11277754, filed 2019-11, 88,000 miles“The company has failed to provide a fix for the occupant classification system (ocs). This is putting the passenger at risk of fatal injury or renders the vehicle useless. I feel they have had more than adequate to get this fix remidied. If they cannot do so I would like them to buy back our vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10919020, filed 2016-10, 15,000 miles“In 2019 the driver seat become wobbly and a bolt was found loose. Tightened bolt and is starting to become loose again. The single seat in 2nd row has also become wobbly and is getting much worse. Can't seem to figure out why it's so wobbly and can't get to any bolts to check tightness. This should be recalled for safety. Because of this I can't put a child's car seat in that seat and I can't use that seat for anyone else either as it is not safe. Please recall these seats so they can be fixed. I've seen forums where others have/had the same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11340678, filed 2020-07, 67,000 miles“While vacuuming under back seats noticed rust under seats. Only had vehicle 1 month. Showed dealership at next oil change. After multiple attempts to get the dealership to do anything I contacted Nissan myself. They tried to tell me that this rust under the seats is environmentally induced from salt on the roads while transporting the vehicle from a neighboring state. The car was purchased new with the plastic still inside. How can salt get inside the vehicle? They showed me another 2014 Pathfinder just like mine at the dealership and it too had rust under the seats. …”
NHTSA complaint #10618799, filed 2014-08, 2,000 miles“The passenger airbag off indicator light is coming on when there is a adult passenger is in the seat. After repeated complaints on it, nothing has been done by the Nissan service center to resolve the issue. I am forced to video capture every thing while driving to show it as a evidence, as they are not taking this seriously.”
