In rear door (with an automatic lift gate)unable to lock/close back door without manually tying it down. Told it was prematurely rusted.also regarding rear door: initially with repetitive closing by itself.would open and then automatically re close.hit my wife on the head (minor injury).
I purchased this vehicle used in april 2018. After 50 days of use, the vehicle would shudder when accelerating at low speeds. This began inconsistently and then happened more often. At the same time another issue began. When i would begin accelerating from a stop, i would press my foot on the gas and the vehicle would not respond and then after a few seconds would jolt forward. The vehicle was taken in and they could not replicate the issue right away but apparently fixed something with the mass air flow sensor. The next day, while driving at highway speeds, it began to shudder more heavily. While trying to park, moving at slow speeds, the vehicle abruptly came to a hault and stopped moving. It felt like the engine was about to fall out of the car. All warning lights appeared. The car was restarted and one warning light remained. The only warning light visible on the dash was listed no where in my manual and the information on the dash said "no warnings". An internet search revealed "hybrid vehicle malfunction' was what the warning light meant. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and am awaiting to see if they can find out what this is.

Slammed on brakes (emergency stop) center lane of highway due to car in front being cut off. Large truck behind me so i tried to immediately accelerate to avoid being hit from behind. Pressed gas pedal to floor and nothing happened! totally quiet (electric still engaged) and i was a sitting duck! fortunately, truck able to swerve into left lane, but it could have been tragic. It took several seconds for me to move from stop and acceleration was as if i was casually pulling away from a stop sign! never so scared in my life. According to nissan, this is a characteristic of the cvt in the hybrid and they insist there is no safety issue!!!!! service mgr at dealer validated my concern when he test drove it trying to replicate a panic stop as closely as he could and the small delay characteristic of hybrids got more and more exaggerated with more sudden stops. Service mgr said hands are tied and corporate is not saying anything.

Nissan cvt transmission issueprimarily during acceleration from a stop, the cvt transmission behaves erratically.at times, acceleration seems normal.at others, there is a significant delay which may or may not be followed by a violent "thud" and wild lurch forward of the vehicle.my concern around this issue is two fold;1) accident avoidance.in the event of a required "fast start" to avert an accident, the significant delay in acceleration followed by the wild lurch, may significant impact the vehicles ability to avert a collision.2) long-term damage to the engine or complete drive train.it is unclear to me if/how these "thuds" and wild lurches are affecting the mechanical integrity of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder hybrid. The contact stated that the transmission needed to be replaced for the third time. The contact was the original owner. The warranty expired and the repair costs for the third transmission would exceed $5,000. While driving, the contact heard a bang sound and the vehicle seized. The vehicle would not shift into reverse or drive. The vehicle was towed to two different dealers at the contact's expense. The first unknown dealer charged $300 to tow the vehicle and did not have a certified hybrid technician to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to route 46 nissan (440 us-46, totowa, nj 07512, 973-339-7048) where it was diagnosed that a new transmission was needed. The first transmission replacement was at 60,000 miles with a warranty for up to 100,000 miles. The second transmission was replaced at 125,000 miles. The manufacturer stated that they would not cover the repairs after the warranty expired. The manufacturer provided a case number, but had not yet called the contact back. The failure mileage was 180,000. The vin was unknown.

The sun visor on the drivers side is causing a safety hazard. The plastic part inside of the visor flat panel has broken and cannot hold up the visor as it is supposed to, or as designed to function. Before it flopped down completely, it used to make a large and strange clicking noise whenever the visor is raised or lowered. Then it broke. Completely. Driving is unsafe ans the line of sight is blocked completely, unless released to the side, which then blocks the side view, or raised using other methods (duct tape, velcro, etc.). I have called the local dealer that i bought the car from but replacing this non-functioning safety hazardous issue is not coverrd under warranty. The estimated cost to repair is $340/visor.the passengers side is also making a weird clicking noise and now also starting to droop. Basic research online has resulted in hundreds of similar cases for not only pathfinders but also other models for nissan. This is unacceptable and nissan should be replacing these parts before a serious accidents(s) or worse death occurs because they have skimmed quality on these parts.
Both drivers and passengers side sun-visors will not stay up against the ceiling, or against the windshield, and drop down into my line of sight, which makes it a hazard while driving because it will not stay in place. Myself andhitting our head on them. It obstructs my view while driving even when my seat is all the way down. Nissan you have been made aware of this defective part and this should be recalled. It makes driving hazardous.
