2024 Nissan Pathfinder Problems

Bought the car with 31000 miles. Year of the ca is 2024. Bought it from Honda of Kenosha. CarFax states they have done a 176 point inspection.. During test drive everything was normal. After buying the car and driving on [XXX] to Milwaukee, the car wonders left and right following groves on the road. Feels like driving on ice, if not paying attention could end in another lane. Went to Journey Nissan three times for the same issue. The issue was disregarded all three times and only suggestion was to turn off driver assists. Which they were off all the time. Even then driving assists should not be doing that. Now car has started doing a slight vibration during drives.

I am reporting premature and potentially abnormal rear brake wear on my 2024 Nissan Pathfinder with approximately 19,600 miles. During an inspection, the Nissan dealership (Nissan City of Red Bank) measured the rear brake pads at only 1 mm, while the front brake pads measured 6 mm. The dealership recommended replacing the rear brake pads and rotors. The extreme difference in wear between the front and rear brakes at such low mileage raises serious concerns about excessive or abnormal rear brake wear. With only 1 mm of friction material remaining, the rear pads are nearly worn out, creating a potential safety concern and requiring premature replacement of the pads and rotors. The dealership indicated that premature rear brake wear is a known problem with Nissan Pathfinders. Reports from other owners of 2024 Nissan Pathfinders describe similar rear brake wear at approximately 16,000 to 20,000 miles, including cases in which the rear pads were nearly worn out while the front pads retained substantially more material. These similar reports raise concerns that this may be a recurring problem rather than an isolated incident. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder has a defect or mechanical issue causing excessive premature rear brake wear. NHTSA should determine whether this condition affects other vehicles, whether the manufacturer is aware of the problem, and whether corrective action is necessary to protect vehicle occupants and the public. Brake components are critical to vehicle safety, and premature wear of this severity warrants investigation.

On XXX, about 7:40 p.m., my 2024 Nissan Pathfinder (approx. 24,300 miles) accelerated unexpectedly on XXX southbound toward [XXX], with my daughter aboard. It was dark, dry and cool. ProPILOT Assist/adaptive cruise was set to 80 mph at the closest following distance and had operated for 60–90 minutes. The engine sounded louder, the SUV surged and rapidly closed on traffic ahead. Braking did not stop the repeated acceleration. I switched cruise fully off; its dash indicators disappeared, yet acceleration continued. Each time I eased off the brake, the engine revved to about 5,000 RPM or higher and the SUV accelerated rapidly, reaching about 85 mph or more. I had to brake extremely hard, smelled overheated brakes and made emergency lane changes to avoid collisions. No warning lights appeared. I stopped on the shoulder, still in Drive, and held the brake about 30 seconds. Upon releasing it, the SUV lunged forward aggressively again, unlike normal creeping in Drive. I braked and shifted to Park. I cannot confirm if the RPMs increased over 5000, but it aggressively, quickly lunged forward again. My husband drove it another 90 minutes, briefly engaging/disengaging cruise several times. He noticed hesitation or sputtering, especially uphill, but no repeat of the severe acceleration. A short drive the next morning without cruise was normal. Earlier XXX, blind-spot mirror warnings failed to illuminate for about four passing vehicles, then resumed. A low key-fob battery alert appeared the prior week; a large windshield crack was noticed XXX. Connections are unknown. Nissan Roadside was contacted XXX. Tow/inspection is pending after an initial tow was canceled because the SUV would be left outside a locked dealer gate. The vehicle is available for inspection; no diagnosis yet. Please investigate unintended acceleration, brakes, throttle, ProPILOT/cruise and preserve any available electronic/event data. We narrowly avoided serious collisions.

I leased this 2024 Nissan Pathfinder new, and the issue began almost immediately, at approximately 13 miles. I initially noticed intermittent stuttering and the vehicle jumping or lurching forward following acceleration. Because I trusted the Nissan brand and initially assumed the behavior may have been related to normal vehicle operation or user error, I did not immediately pursue the issue. At approximately 21,000 miles, the problems became significantly more frequent and pronounced. I began experiencing unexpected engine shutoffs, as well as instances where the Auto Hold feature would fail to disengage when I attempted to accelerate. These incidents have occurred in carpool lines, pharmacy drive-through lines, at red lights, and at stop signs. The most concerning incident occurred when the vehicle stalled and shut off while I was stopped at a red light. Because the vehicle was immobile, I had to continuously honk to alert approaching drivers. A truck approaching from behind came dangerously close to rear-ending my vehicle. This incident raised serious concerns about the safety of the vehicle, particularly because I regularly transport my children. The unexpected engine shutoffs, stuttering/lurching, and failure of the vehicle to respond normally when accelerating present an ongoing safety concern. The vehicle has been taken to Nissan dealerships for inspection, and I have also reported these concerns to Nissan Consumer Affairs. Despite multiple service visits and reports, the issues have continued. Nissan has indicated that it has been unable to duplicate the condition. However, the circumstances under which I experience the problem are not necessarily replicated during dealership testing. For example, the vehicle has experienced these issues while sitting for extended periods in pharmacy drive-through lines, carpool pickup lines, and other stop-and-go situations, as well as while stopped at traffic signals and stop signs. I am reporting this vehicle to NHTSA

Purchased new 1/15/2025. First issue with this car happened Oct 2025 with something electrical drawing power. This caused AT codes, auto start/stop codes, front and rear collision codes etc. Took it in they charged the battery and told be they didnt know what was causing the draw. Replaced the battery 10/11/2025. 11/19/2025 had another catastrophic electrical failure at 19,426 miles on OD. Vehicle threw all of the codes. Nissan kept the vehicle and charged and cleared codes. 12/18/2025 vehicle started hesitating and threw codes again. Nissan replaced the fuel pump. Front and rear collision malfuctions remained frequent along with infotainment reboots. Oct 1 2026 vehicle threw all codes again while driving causing loss of power and drivability. Had to be towed in. Vehicle acted the same way as previous. Nissan is now trying to claim it had to do with a improperly seated air filter causing the maf sensor to fail, they cleaned it"reseated" air filter and stated the car was running but they could not get it to do a idler relearn and told me I could pick up the vehicle but they recommended replacing the maf. The car is still sittting at nissan because i refuse to pick it up unless they cover that under there emissions warranty and put in writing that this is the sole issue and any problems with the vehicle in regards to prior issues already complained about will result in replacement of vehicle etc

This was the first of FIVE failtures, on other complaints, I had put FOUR however, my daughter reminded me coming back from [XXX] in XXX that it happened on XXX. I have been trying to work with Nissan for two years on this. I am sharing you, we absolutely are afraid to take this vehicle back, it's not safe for anyone to possess as it will result in loss of life. Nissan needs to own up to this failure and repurcase this and use it for tests to figure out why their main communication system is not relating. I was out in the middle of nowhere and scared to death that it was going to continue to die on me, I stopped finally at a Pilot and a nice employee at Pilot who just got off work helped me. He disconnected the battery twice, we let it sit, then it started and cleared. I had taken a time stamped photo and sent to my husband for guidance. We took the vehicle to Nissan the tech said they could not duplicate the error, this was the first of a two year struggle with trying to work with Nissan and figure out what was wrong. After this last XXX incident Complaint XXX, XXX and I am entering two more where I have either video, photos, or both. I have been gathering witness statements. I am a XXX in the field for 34 years and my husband a XXX and also a XXX. We are smart people who happened to buy a LEMON of a vehicle that is not safe for it to be on the road. Looking from this time, my family is so lucky that none of us got killed on the side of the road, on the Interstate itself, or simply driving to and from our home in the mountains here in [XXX]. We are just terrified to be in this vehicle. Also, the saddest thing I want noted, is these are mostly HIGHEWAY miles back and forth to my daughters house in [XXX]. Not even in town miles and the vehicle has done these things. Please please help us hold Nissan accountable. This vehicle is a danger to human life.

Hi ! I just purchased the 2024 Nissan pathfinder SL on March 13th , 2026 . Three days later I noticed a slight vibration to the car . I was told it was the mount they’d replace both mounts . Get the car from getting the mounts replaced , & when I went to leave with the “ repaired “ the car sounded horrible while in Reverse. It was a loud sound more than just a vibration. I immediately went into the dealer and they said they’d replace the other two mounts . Fast forward to that appointment, I get a call it needs a new motor . I’m not sure the mileage on the vehicle but it’s less than 46k . The mechanic shop in Macon , Ga has had the car two weeks. They replaced the mount close to the transmission with a OM mount , said the previous one was a defective mount . Now they have no clue what is wrong with the car . This car is so “ new “ to be having these issues. So now I’m waiting to hear what the next steps are on this car . Such a beautiful vehicle truly ! I just don’t know if this mount / transmission is going cause me issues nonstop within the car .

The defect involves the outside side mirrors and the reverse-tilt function. When the vehicle is shifted into Reverse, a mirror normally tilts downward as designed. However, after shifting back into Drive or Park, the mirror intermittently fails to return to its previously stored driving position. Sometimes it returns correctly, sometimes it returns only partway, and sometimes it does not return at all. When the failure occurs, the mirror remains pointed downward and significantly reduces rearward and adjacent-lane visibility until I manually readjust it. This creates a safety risk because the mirror may appear to have returned to its normal position when it has not, leaving the driver with impaired visibility after completing a reverse maneuver. The problem is intermittent and has been reported to and evaluated by Nissan dealerships. The vehicle and mirror system remain available for inspection upon request. There are no warning lamps or dashboard messages associated with the failure. The primary symptom is the mirror’s failure to consistently return to its stored driving position. Because of the inconsistent operation, I have disabled the reverse-tilt feature to prevent the mirror from unexpectedly remaining in an unsafe downward position. However, disabling the feature eliminates the additional downward visibility Nissan designed it to provide while reversing. This is not a satisfactory resolution. I am forced to choose between the risk of impaired rearward visibility after reversing and the loss of the enhanced visibility intended to assist during reverse maneuvers. The system does not operate as designed and creates an avoidable visibility and safety concern.

Car has many problems with battery. The dealership stated the wires are coated with soy, which is a food source for rodents. I've had to get the wires replaced in the car but continue to have problems with the battery. I've had multiple times when the car is dead and needs a jump. The wiper fluid pump also recently stopped working. I'm not sure how the car has not been recalled yet, with coating food for animals how many more wires have been eaten. This car has been services by dealership 5 times in the last 4 months

Sunroof exploded while driving.

When it rains the sunroof leaks, took it the dealership, they replaced the drain grommets and it still does the same thing again two days later when it rain.

I am reporting premature and abnormal tire wear on two consecutive Nissan Pathfinder vehicles (2022 and 2024 models). In both cases, tires required replacement at low mileage (approximately 20,000–25,000 miles) despite normal driving and proper maintenance. My 2022 Pathfinder also experienced brake-related issues, which raises additional concern about potential underlying defects. The repeated pattern across multiple vehicles suggests a possible defect involving alignment, suspension, or braking systems. Premature tire wear presents a safety concern, as it can reduce traction, increase stopping distance, and raise the risk of tire failure or blowout, particularly at highway speeds. A Nissan dealership has confirmed the abnormal tire wear and recommended replacement, and previously acknowledged there may be known issues contributing to this condition. However, the issue continues to be classified as “normal wear and tear,” and no corrective action has been taken. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the issue; it was identified during routine service inspection. The vehicle and affected components are available for inspection upon request. I am requesting an investigation into whether Nissan Pathfinder vehicles have a defect contributing to premature tire wear and associated safety risks.

8/28/23: fuel pump replacement at just 16 miles, 10/12/23: check engine light with no documented repair, only that the code was cleared and the vehicle test driven, 12/18/25: pre-delivery inspection revealed clicking noise while turning and a leaking oil pressure switch requiring replacement parts and realignment, 1/19/26: check engine light on - battery replaced, 1/20/26: check engine light on - AF sensor bank 1 replaced, 1/22/26: check engine light on - fuel injector / lines replaced, 2/2/26: check engine light on - O2 sensor replaced, 2/5/26: failure to accelerate while driving - towed home due to dealership being closed, towed to dealership first thing the next morning and is currently under further investigation. Please see attached letter. Also, the dates reflected on the Carfax report are inaccurate.

The car is sending off the alarm for the back seat not being buckled when there is no one back there and there is nothing on the seats, it is now also doing it where it does that but shows one of them as buckled when there’s no one in the seats

I am filing a safety complaint regarding a Chicco NextFit car seat. The anchor tab on my child’s car seat has become visibly stressed and appears to be failing after only two years of normal use. This is extremely concerning as this component is critical to properly securing the seat and ensuring my child’s safety in the event of a crash. I contacted the manufacturer and provided photos. They confirmed that the tab is stressed but did not offer an explanation for how this could happen or provide any investigation or corrective action. The product is discontinued, and I was told I am outside of the warranty period, which does not address the safety concern. This appears to be a potential structural or material failure and could put children at risk if the seat does not perform as intended during a collision. I believe this issue should be investigated to determine whether this is an isolated defect or a broader safety problem affecting other consumers. I am requesting that this issue be reviewed for possible defect or recall to protect child passenger safety.

The Original Equipment (OE) Bridgestone Alenza Sport A/S 255/50R20 105H M+S tires on my brand new 2024 Nissan Pathfinder suffer from groove wander on roads in which grooves are cut into them to mitigate hydroplaning in rainy conditions. The geometric design, tread design incompatibility, or structural irregularities of these tires cause severe groove wander and impair safe handling. I believe there is a mismatch between the tire design and the vehicle's weight or suspension design - Nissan should not be placing this OE tire on new Pathfinders. Groove wander causes the vehicle to follow road grooves involuntarily, which is a handling defect that compromise driver control. This condition is a safety hazard, especially at highway and interstate speeds or in inclement weather. Groove wander does not allow the vehicle to operate safely, causing the driver to constantly correct the involuntary path of the vehicle on such roads. The driver's and others' safety are at risk if the driver is unable to quickly correct the path of the vehicle and keep the vehicle in the lane of traffic to avoid lane departure into another vehicle or object. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by both the Nissan dealer from I bought the vehicle and a local Bridgestone/Firestone service center because both are unwilling to do so. Both have refused to accompany me on a test drive on Interstate 90 where this occurs because this road is approximately 12 miles one way from their locations (their claim it is too far away; if it was only 5 miles, they would be willing to do this). The tires have been visually inspected by both companies, and naturally both have found nothing wrong with the tires (normal wear at this time). Visually inspecting he tires will not diagnose the issue, and a test ride needs to be completed to document this issue - again both Nissan and Bridgestone refuse to do this. Other brand tires on other vehicles I own do not suffer groove wander.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT JUST CAME ON.

The car was involved in a collision into a jersey barrier on the left side of the vehicle at high speed that is 60 mph first the none of the airbags deployed and including the front airbags driver knee airbags or the curtain side airbags. Next, the driver‘s Apple Watch confirmed that we were in a collision and was able to call 911 where the safety features within the vehicle did not make any notification that we were in a collision, nor is it reflected within the Nissan app that there was a collision after the fact. Additional safety features for an accident are supposed to include four ways being automatically turned on in the car, unlocking the passengers had to engage the 4-way lights and the passenger side front had to unlock the car to be assisted by Paramedics. Additionally, the back driver side tire is completely flat and reads as such within the app at 0 PSI however, the front driver side passenger tire is ripped from its rim and still reading fully at 39 psi. Despite the car being unable to start, additionally, the app is showing that all systems are fine within the car. Finally, the brakes the driver stated their foot was all the way to the floor attempting to break and the passenger front side also heard a severe grinding noise. No warning, lights or lamps appeared during the accident. In addition no warning lights were visible within the app post accident. Finally, there was not an alert sent through the app. Insurance company has considered the car totaled. These have been unable to be reproduced. We have requested that our insurance save and document everything in our insurance, USAA has been unresponsive at this time. Our car has already been moved to Copart Philadelphia and is potentially pending auction. We have requested documentation multiple times.

The seatbelt system, including the computerized imaging alerts on the dashboard, seatbelt warning tone notification, and possibly the seat sensors of the vehicle have been failing and continue to malfunction. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This malfunction alerts and states that passengers are not buckled in the backseats when nobody is in the vehicle but the driver. This malfunction also alerts and states that passengers are not buckled in the backseats when they are this malfunction occurs randomly while driving the vehicle. It was initially brought in for this concern the first week of August 2025 and the local Nissan service techs replaced the seatbelts in 2 of the back seats. Unfortunately, this did not resolve this issue and has been documented with video evidence on multiple occasions. My children are frequent passengers in the backseats of this vehicle and I have safety concerns that should an accident occur, the seatbelts malfunction and are not actually keeping my children safe as expected with a seatbelt. The most recent visit to Nissan services for this problem was on 08/18/2025 to 08/20/2025 where the techs stated the problem could not be reproduced and that all I can continue to do is keep driving the vehicle and take videos of the incidents. Using a phone while driving sounds like a safety concern to me, as well. The vehicle has only been seen, with multiple appointments, at the local Halliday Nissan Service Department. Prior to the original problem the first week of August 2025, these issues first appeared around the end of June, early July 2025. There are warning lamps, signals, and notification noises associated with this issue. I have video documentation, service documentation, recordings, text messages, voicemails as proof of documentation.

This condition is a safety hazard, especially at highway and interstate speeds or in inclement weather. Groove wander does not allow the vehicle to operate safely, causing the driver to constantly correct the involuntary path of the vehicle on such roads.

Upon purchasing the vehicle, the headlights are not bright enough. There are several threads on reddit talking about this issue. Some people say they are fine, but others are reporting that they have almost hit curbs and other items due to the lack of density. The coverage is far and wide, but the visible light in all conditions is horrible. I had a previous 2021 Nissan Murano with LED headlights and they blew this out of the water. Same for a 2021 Nissan Rogue. The rating on the headlights is not "Good" but "Acceptable." These are unsafe! In snowy weather I could not see the road. I have had to purchase aftermarket lights to supplement the headlights as trading in the vehicle is not financially feasible for us. This needs to be investigated! The dealer is saying they are aimed properly but that Nissan has cut the brightness. This is unsafe! There are a lot of dark areas in the lights. In the photo I have uploaded, my vehicle is aimed down (driveway down on the angled curb) to show the gaps in lighting, so it appears brighter than it actually is). There are a lot of dark spots, etc. too.
