2009 Nissan Pathfinder Problems

MY DASHBOARD HAS A LOGO OF A RED FLASHING PASSENGER WITH A AIRBAG RED BALL. IT FLASHES NON STOP WHEN EVER I TURN ON THE IGNITION. HOWEVER WHEN I CHECKED FOR AIR BAG RECALL IT'S NOT COMING UP ON THE LIST. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. WE LINE IN NM SO WE'RE NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT WE DRIVE FREQUENTLY ON SNOWY SALTY MOUNTAIN ROADS SO WE MIGHT BE AFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS OR IN PARK. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED WHICH WAS THE DIAGNOSED ISSUE.

THIS TRUCK IS VERY WELL CARED FOR,,ALL OF A SUDDEN ITS STALLING AT ANY TIME,,SOME HARD STARTS,,RUNS PERFECT ,THAN STALLS,WHILE DRIVING,NO STEERING,VERY SCARRY,I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS I FILLED 2 MORE TIME FROM GOOD GAS STATION 89 AND 91 OCTAN,

THE VEHICLE JUST STOP. HAD TOW TO THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED WITH COOLENT IN THAT DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. THERE WAS NO WARNING. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60MPH, AND HAD TO MERGE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE RADIATOR FAILED, CAUSING RADIATOR FLUID TO GET INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. COST IS ABOUT $4,000 TO REPLACE, AND THIRD PARTY WARRANTY IS REFUSING TO COVER ANY OF IT.

I WAS ENTERING A PARKING LOT AND TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR PROCEED TOWARDS A BRICK WALL AND WINDOW. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED PUMPING THE BRAKES AND GOT A "SOFT PEDAL" JUST OFF THE FLOOR AND THE CAR STOPPED JUST BEFORE CRASHING INTO A MAJOR GROCERY STORE WINDOW. BEING EXPERIENCED WITH CARS I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE MASTER CYLINDER FOR FLUID WHICH WAS FULL. CHECKED ALL THE WHEELS FOR LEAKS AND WERE DRY AS WELL AS THE LINES. I WENT INTO THE STORE AND CALLED FOR SOMEONE TO PICK ME UP. ON RETURNING TO THE CAR ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER I STARTED THE CAR AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND FOUND THEM TO BE NORMAL. ON DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH HAVE FOUND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE THAT DRIVE THE SAME PLATFORM VEHICLE NOT JUST THE PATHFINDER. UNITL THIS PROBLEM IS IDENTIFIED AND CORRECTED THERE EASILY COULD BE A MAJOR ACCIDENT INVOLVING INJURYS. I AM NOW DRIVING MY PATHFINDER WITH THE VDC BUTTON IN THE OFF POSITION AND IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I ALSO REMOVE THE ABS FUSE AS THERE IS SOMEKIND OF CONFLICT BETWEEN THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS SOFTWARE CAUSING THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO SHUTDOWN. SOME PEOPLE HAVE SPENT $1,000 OF DOLLARS HAVING SYSTEMS REBUILT REPLACING MASTER CYLINDERS, PADS AND ROTORS ONLY TO FIND IT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. REPEATING THIS NOT JUST THE 2009 PATHFINDER PROBLEM BUT INCLUDES ALL NISSAN VEHICLES THAT SHARE THE SAME PLATFORM AND BRAKING SYSTEM.

AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM MY WIFE ABOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP, I CHANGED THE MASTER CYLINDER. SEEMED TO HAPPEN DURING RAINY DAYS. THE FRONT AND REAR PADS HAD BEEN CHANGED PRIOR. NO LEAKS DETECTED IN LINES, NOR WHEN THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REMOVED. BRAKES BLED, NEW FLUID THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. NO AIR IN THE SYSTEM. PROPER FLUID LEVEL MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS CHANGED, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AS I WAS BRAKING. IT WAS A CLEAR DAY WITH NO DEBRIS OR WET SURFACES. FLUID STILL AT MAX, NO LEAKS, ALL NEW PARTS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ABS COMPONENTS. ANY INFO, AS THIS SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING WITH MORE OWNERS, WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

MY SEATBELTS DO NOT LOCK WHEN THE BREAKS ARE MASHED. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN A BREAKS ARE SUDDENLY MASHED IN THE SEATBELTS CATCH TO PREVENT THE PASSENGER FROM GOING ANYWHERE. (MINE DON'T) I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH 2009. IN MAY 2009, THE DEALERSHIP REQUESTED THAT A BRING IT BACK FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC EXAMINATION. WHEN I RETURNED IN JUNE THEY STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT MADE FOR THE SEATBELTS TO LOCK. THAT MY VEHICLE IS PROPERLY WORKING. I KNOW THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I TURN ON THE HEATED STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE IT WAS COLD AND IT STARTED BURNING AND SMOKING, LEAVING A BURN MARK IN THE STEERING. I WAS DRIVING IN BRENTWOOD NEW YORK ME AND FAMILY VISITING FAMILY.

I OWNED A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER AFTER FRONT WINDSCREEN WAS HIT BY A SMALL STONE THERE APPEARED A CRACK WHICH I DISMISSED. I NOW HAVE A 2009 PATHFINDER AND THE FRONT WINDSCREEN WAS HIT BY A SMALL STONE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOW AGAIN I HAVE A CRACKED WINDSCREEN - 2ND TIME AROUND IS NOT AN ACCIDENT - I CONSIDER IT A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. *TR
