WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT ~ 30MPH, THE HOOD FLEW OPEN BENDING BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER FENDERS AND MANGLING THE SEALS.

THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE HOOD WAS AJAR. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL BUT NONE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VIN.

IN 2019 THE DRIVER SEAT BECOME WOBBLY AND A BOLT WAS FOUND LOOSE. TIGHTENED BOLT AND IS STARTING TO BECOME LOOSE AGAIN. THE SINGLE SEAT IN 2ND ROW HAS ALSO BECOME WOBBLY AND IS GETTING MUCH WORSE. CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT'S SO WOBBLY AND CAN'T GET TO ANY BOLTS TO CHECK TIGHTNESS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY. BECAUSE OF THIS I CAN'T PUT A CHILD'S CAR SEAT IN THAT SEAT AND I CAN'T USE THAT SEAT FOR ANYONE ELSE EITHER AS IT IS NOT SAFE. PLEASE RECALL THESE SEATS SO THEY CAN BE FIXED.

2014 PATHFINDER SV HYBRID 4WD PASSEGER AIRBAG SENSOR FRAME AND WIRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS ALWAYS DEACTIVATED, EVEN IF AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED IN IT, THERE IS ALSO AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT THAT FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD. NISSAN'S OCS SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE FREQUENTLY COMPLAINED ABOUT ONLINE. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS JUST WEAR AND TEAR, WHICH I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW A FRAME AND HARNESS FOR THE OCS (WHICH THEY SAY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $1200) COULD BE A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. I JUST WANTED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE IN CASE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AS THERE SEEMS TO HAVE ALREADY BEEN MANY RECALLS FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN THIS CAR.

WHILE VACUUMING UNDER BACK SEATS NOTICED RUST UNDER SEATS. ONLY HAD VEHICLE 1 MONTH. SHOWED DEALERSHIP AT NEXT OIL CHANGE. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO DO ANYTHING I CONTACTED NISSAN MYSELF. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THIS RUST UNDER THE SEATS IS ENVIRONMENTALLY INDUCED FROM SALT ON THE ROADS WHILE TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE FROM A NEIGHBORING STATE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH THE PLASTIC STILL INSIDE. HOW CAN SALT GET INSIDE THE VEHICLE? THEY SHOWED ME ANOTHER 2014 PATHFINDER JUST LIKE MINE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT TOO HAD RUST UNDER THE SEATS. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DEFECT. *TR
