2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid Problems

TL* 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.

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.

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 AND HITTING 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.
