“2014 Nissan Pathfinder all four wheel hubs began rusting soon after purchase. Car is now 6 months old with hubs completely rusted...this should be recalled as it is a serious problem. I have two Nissan pathfinders, one 2012 and one 2014..both maintained to same standards. I have no rust on my 2012 but 2014 is looking terrible. This is a dangerous problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10604261, filed 2014-06, 10,000 miles“Both sun visors on verge of breaking. When putting down or up, they will make a snapping noise and hang loosely. Also, while driving they will flop down. Visors never stay up properly or safely. I've had it fall down while driving on the high way. They are not safe! Spoke with dealership, they want to charge $400 for them to be fixed. The pair that's breaking is not sold separately. I've read many complaints about this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11101378, filed 2018-06, 20 miles“It appears the molding on the passenger side roof rack has come apart. The seal and the actual roof rack piece now flap in the wind. I did some research on this and it seems several hundred people have dealt with this issue, even after months of purchasing the vehicle. The first time I experienced this was driving down the road and I heard something hitting my roof, I figured a stick might of got caught in the roof rack or something. Every time I drive it flaps in the wind.”
NHTSA complaint #11279565, filed 2019-11, 90,000 miles“My drivers side interior door handle all of a sudden broke. I had to crawl out of my car from the passenger side to exit/enter my vehicle. And, my drivers side visor is broken and hangs down--obstructing my visibility while driving. Both problems occurred at 53,000 miles and are a safety hazard. Both problems also seem to be a very common issue with the Nissan Pathfinder and of course are not covered when basic warranty expires at 36,000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #11036057, filed 2017-10, 53,000 miles“When I went to open driver's side door from the inside, the door did not open. It seems as though the handle broke off on the inside. I now have to open my window and open the door from the outside handle.”
