The Check Engine light turned on and took it to dealership on 12/14/24 and they stated that Throttle chamber may have issues. Used scanner and code P0101- Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit was read on scanner. Vehicle struggles to get air flow into engine causes speed to struggle when trying to accelerate.
Faulty fluid pump system Fault CVT system I noticed the car was slow to accelerate like it was slipping. Then a few days later, there was a jerking/ shuddering you could feel the entire car shaking. I took to the repair shop and they are saying it pulled the code for CVT and fuel pump circuit. Car in the shop awaiting repair This seems to be common problem with the Nissan pathfinder finder 2017. Is there anything can be done about this. It can easily become a safety hazard and potential loss of life. Shouldn’t there be a recall or resolution to this problem and Coustomer get reimbursement for money spent with this defective product.q
THERE WAS A CLACKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD. AFTER RESEARCHING WHAT THIS COULD BE, IT APPEARED TO BE THE FAN COOLING SYSTEM. THE LOCAL DEALER TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT THIS SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE NISSAN PATHFINDERS STATING THAT IT SEEMED SEVERAL OF THE FANS WOULD "GO OUT". ALSO, MY WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID DOES NOT WORK. I'M NOT SURE HOW/WHY THIS WOULD GO OUT; AS ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE STILL WORK.
ALL OUR FUEL INJECTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR A TOTAL OF $2,132. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED ON A 3 YR OLD CAR! WE WERE DRIVING RECENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND WE SMELLED A LOT OF GAS.
MY VEHICLE RECEIVED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. NISSAN APPARENTLY KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NO IDEA ON HOW TO FIX IT. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I KEEP THE CAR FILLED TO HALF A TANK OR MORE SO I DO T GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS IN THE OCCASION I LET THE CAR GET BELOW HALF A TANK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON HOW CAN I TELL IF IT'S THE FUEL SYSTEM OR SOMETHING ELSE. IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY A WEEK OR MORE FOR THE LIGHT TO GO OFF AFTER REFILLING THE CAR. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR JUST OVER A YEAR. I'VE ASKED REPEATED TIMES FOR AN UPDATE WITH NO ANSWER.
WE PURCHASED A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER FOR OUR FAMILY 5 FROM PETERS NISSAN IN NASHUA N.H. AUGUST 2017. IN NOVEMBER 2018 WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER, AND SHAKING LIKE IT'S READY TO STALL OUT. WE TOOK IT IN TO NISSAN AND THEY CLAIMED THEY REPLACED ALL 6 FUEL INJECTORS AND 5 UPPER INJECTOR 0-RINGS. WE BROUGHT IT BACK ON DEC 3, 2018 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOCUMENTATION STATES THAT THEY PERFORMED ROAD TEST AND VEHICLE ROAD GAUGE READ ALL THE WAY EMPTY EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD ONE HALF A TANK OF FUEL. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE REPLACED INTERNAL FUEL PUMP AND AND THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE WAS THEN READING AT THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO US. ON JAN 14, 2019 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO NISSAN FOR THE SAME MECHANICAL PROBLEM AND THEY KEPT IT UNTIL FEB 6 CLAIMING THAT THEY WERE DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER 3 WEEKS WITHOUT OUR VEHICLE WE WERE CALLED TO PICK IT UP AND THE WORK ORDER STATED 'ROAD TESTED VEHICLE AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE CONDITION'. HOWEVER THE PAPERWORK INDICATES THAT THE MILEAGE IN WAS 23181 AND THE MILEAGE OUT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME, 23181, INDICATING THAT NISSAN NEVER REALLY DID ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 5 AND FOR US THIS VEHICLE WAS A HUGE INVESTMENT, WE'RE CONFIDENT IN THE NISSAN BRAND NAME BUT NOW WE ARE REGRETTING OUR DECISION. WE HAVE REQUESTED THAT NISSAN BUY THE VEHICLE BACK SO WE CAN PURCHASE A RELIABLE VEHICLE FROM ANOTHER BRAND NAME CORPORATION OR AT A MINIMUM REPLACE THIS VEHICLE WITH A NEW NISSAN PATHFINDER TO NO AVAIL, SO NOW WE FEEL WE ARE STUCK WITH THIS HIGH PRICED LEMON.
WE OWN A 2015 AND A 2017 PLATINUM PATHFINDER BOTH WITH 25K MILES. THE 2017 HAS 20-30 MORE HORSEPOWER THAN THE 2015, BUT THE 2017 IS MUCH SLOWER. THE 2017 IS VERY SLUGGISH FROM 0-35MPH. THE ACCELERATION HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I'VE PUT THE HIGHEST OCTANE IN AS INSTRUCTED BY NASHVILLE NISSAN; STILL SLOW. ACCELERATING UPHILL AT LOW RPMS MAKES THE ENGINE RATTLE (ABLE TO HEAR IT WHEN DRIVING BY A STRUCTURE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE SOUND REVERB OFF BACK TO VEHICLE). TRIED MULTIPLE DIFFERENT AIR FILTERS TO HELP ENGINE BREATHE, STILL SLOW. ANY HELP WILL HELP.
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CAUSING INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
