2022 Nissan Pathfinder

My 2022 Nissan Pathfinder has water accumulate and drip into the cab through the ceiling every time that it rains or gets wet. The seal for the sunroof is the issue and needs to be fixed before mold begins to grow in my car from the moisture.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the vehicle previously received a repair on the rear brakes at approximately 30,000 miles; however, the vehicle recently received an oil change at an independent mechanic, and it was discovered that the rear brakes showed excessive wear. Additionally, it was discovered that the rear shocks were worn. The dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

I am reporting a systemic safety defect regarding the rear Air Conditioning (AC) lines/hoses in the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The rear AC lines are prematurely corroding and leaking refrigerant, mirroring a previous recall Nissan issued for the front AC lines due to similar corrosion issues. On June 13, 2026 at approximately 86,000 miles, my vehicle's rear AC system failed due to a rotted, leaking line. This defect creates several critical safety hazards: 1. FLAMMABILITY HAZARD: The 2022 Pathfinder uses R-1234yf refrigerant, which is classified as an ASHRAE A2L mildly flammable gas. A rapid, uncontrolled leak of pressurized R-1234yf near hot exhaust components or electrical wiring creates an unmitigated vehicle fire risk.  2. TOXIC GAS EXPOSURE: If R-1234yf ignites or comes into contact with high heat, it thermally decomposes into hydrogen fluoride. This turns into highly toxic hydrofluoric acid upon contact with moisture, posing an immediate inhalation and chemical burn hazard to vehicle occupants and first responders. 3. OCCUPANT HEALTH RISK: Sudden climate control failure in extreme summer temperatures poses a risk of heat-related illness for vulnerable passengers, like children or the elderly, in the rear seats. 4. REPEATED DEFECT: Nissan previously acknowledged their factory AC lines were prone to premature corrosion but only recalled the front lines. The rear lines suffer from the exact same material or manufacturing defect. This is a widespread issue widely documented by numerous 2022 Pathfinder owners. I request that NHTSA open a safety defect investigation to expand the previous recall remedies before this visibility hazard causes a severe accident.

The rear brakes on my 2022 Nissan pathfinder are having unusual fast deterioration. I purchased the car at 13,000 miles and had to replace the rear brakes at 25,000 miles and now once again I am having to replace the rear brakes again at 52,000. This seems very odd since the front brakes have not needed replacement yet. I also have been advised to replace the rear calipers which are also very early for a car with 52,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while driving at 7 MPH, the sunroof exploded outward. The sunroof cover was closed during the failure, preventing glass fragments from falling inside the vehicle. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. Upon inspection, the contact became aware that the sunroof had exploded without impact. The vehicle was driven to the residence and was parked in the garage. The dealer was contacted and provided an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.

Components Affected: STRUCTURE:SUNROOF | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | VISIBILITY/WIPER Description of Safety Hazard: My 2022 Nissan Pathfinder suffers from a severe, chronic manufacturing defect causing substantial water intrusion into the vehicle's cabin through the sunroof assembly during rainfall. To date, the manufacturer’s authorized dealership network has attempted to repair this exact leak three separate times and has failed to cure the defect. This unfixable water leak creates two distinct, critical safety hazards: 1. Electrical Failure/Fire Risk: Water actively flows into the headliner, pooling behind the dashboard and running down the A-pillars. This directly exposes critical safety electronics—including the side-curtain airbags, rearview mirror sensors, forward-collision camera arrays, and steering column electrical modules—to active moisture. This creates a severe risk of sudden, catastrophic electrical short-circuits, unintended airbag deployment, or sudden loss of safety assist systems while operating the vehicle at highway speeds. The vehicle is currently leaking for a fourth time. Because the manufacturer's certified network is entirely incapable of sealing the vehicle or curing this defect, the vehicle remains an ongoing safety hazard to its occupants and other motorists on the road.

FUEL FILLER TUBE LOWER SEAL IS LEAKING AND DTC P0456 IS STORED IN THE ECM IF YOU CONFIRM The vehicle has a visible leak with a smoke machine test coming from the fuel filler tube lower seal, AND DTC P0456 is stored as “Active”, “Past”, or “Pending” in the ECM. ACTION 1. Remove the supplied funnel from the rear of the vehicle or trunk. 2. Insert the funnel completely in the fuel filler tube and remove completely five (5) times. 3. Re-check the fuel filler tube lower seal with a smoke machine to determine visually if any leak is present. 4. If the fuel filler lower seal continues to leak, replace the fuel filler tube. IMPORTANT: The purpose of ACTION (above) is to give you a quick idea of the work you will be performing. You MUST closely follow the entire SERVICE PROCEDURE as it contains information that is essential to successfully completing this repair.
