“The 25 pathfinder SV back up camera lags 2 to 3 seconds when shifted to reverse. It show a still image of what's behind but does not update to live feed till a few seconds later. This is dangerous as there have been many cases where I thought what the camera was showing was a live view behind my car when it was just a still image. I have had some close calls when backing into parkings spots.”

NHTSA complaint #11689818, filed 2025-09“Recently purchased a 2025 Nissan Pathfinder. The feature they call idle stop did not work. Noticed withing 2 days of vehicle purchase. After listening to some lame excuses, I made an appointment to have the dealer fix it. They were not able to fix it. The document they gave me from Nissan states it is an electrical problem, and they do not have a fix.

So, we are driving around in a vehicle with a known electrical problem they cannot fix. …”
