2025 Nissan Pathfinder

Windshield is causing double vision at night with lights. i am see distortion at all times but seems to be greater at night. the further from the object the greater the double vision is. it goes away when i look out the windshield at the very top. the car is brand new with no damage and windows are clean.

The contact owns a 2025 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph, there were audible beeps, and a message flashed on the instrument cluster that the “forward collision avoidance” system had failed. the contact stated that the vehicle immediately started to slow down, and the cruise control disengaged. the contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the front radar needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired; however, the contact stated that the failure reoccurred. the contact took the vehicle back to the same dealer to be diagnosed. the vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the front lane departure camera needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the contact was informed that the forward collision avoidance warning light could become activated while driving into direct sunlight. the manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the system was operating as designed. the failure mileage was approximately 9,000.

Recently purchased a 2025 nissan pathfinder. the feature they call "idle stop" did not work. noticed withing 2 days of vehicle purchase. after listening to some lame excuses, i made an appointment to have the dealer fix it. they were not able to fix it. the document they gave me from nissan states it is an electrical problem, and they do not have a fix. i filed a case with nissan, and they rejected a refund and said it would take another week to decide if they will replace it. so, we are driving around in a vehicle with a known electrical problem they cannot fix. how can they build a vehicle they cannot fix. they claim it is some kind of power supply condition which means some sort of problem with voltage. hope the car doesn't catch on fire.

I was involved in a multi-car accident on oct. 7, 2025. during the accident, i slammed on my brakes because the car in front of me was slamming on its brakes. the car behind me pummeled into my pathfinder, sending me careening into the car in front of me. there was a huge impact on both ends of my vehicle. my face crashed into the steering wheel. the airbags did not deploy. my nose gushed blood for about 1 hour. i have included photos of my swollen and bruised face to show the after effects of the wreck day of and the next day.

A malfunction warning light appeared on the dashboard, indicating the cruise control was no longer working and front crash indicator lights showed sensors were not working and/or turned off due to the malfunction. i believe my emergency breaking blindspot warning, adaptive cruise control are not working at this time. the malfunction light is inconsistent and may go off and on. town center nissan was able to duplicate the issue but had no fix available on 9/25/25. they agreed to communicate with the manufacturer and get back to me in a few days. they did not caution me regarding driving the vehicle and returned the keys after connecting to the nissan diagnostic computer which pulled codes stating a front crash sensor malfunction. they stated their database included 5 other similar nissan vehicles with similar issues.

The drivers seat does not have enough padding. i was driving in new jersey on the thruway and because the seat does not have enough cushion i tried to adjust myself and that caused me to go into other lane. luckily no accident but this is definitely a safety issue. i do have pictures to show of the condition of the seat.

The contact owned a 2025 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated that the abs warning light had illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the abs system needed to be repaired. the vehicle was repaired; however, the contact believed that the abs system was not calibrated due to the abs warning light re-illuminated. on another occasion, the contact stated that while driving approximately 70 - 75 mph, a vehicle in the middle lane switched to the last left lane, and the contact maneuvered the vehicle to the middle lane due to the collision avoidance alarm activating. the tires spun out of control, and the front brakes failed and locked. the vehicle skidded and crashed head-on into a semi truck. the air bags did not deploy. the vehicle was towed and deemed totaled. the contact sustained a traumatic brain injury (tbi), and medical attention was required. a police report was filed. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

I have had my 2025 pathfinder act up over the last two months. it acts up at the most inconvenient time. i have notice that it kicks into low gear when i am pulling out into traffic. it will not disengage at all during this time. the only way that i can get out of low gear, is to pull over and stop, turn off the engine and then turn it back on. after turning off the engine and restarting it goes back to driving normal. this has happen on and off over the past two months. it has been reported to clark nissan in abilene, texas. they have not been able to have the problem appear and no engine faults are showing. i am now driving the car and if it happens again hope to video what is happening. twice this has happen pulling into the [xxx] and have had cars come close to colliding into the back of my car. it this time i am working with the dealership and will try to record this when it happens again. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

If you have your light set in another position other than auto set, your break lights do not com on. i was getting ready to travel on a trip to georgia from texas. i pulled into a gas station when a lady pulled up beside me and said that your break lights are not working. sure enough they were not working! after a while of checking the different lighting setting we found that the break lights only work in the automatic mode. this was reported to clark nissan at abilene, texas. they reported that they have found this to be true and found all of the nissan cars in their lot worked like this. i was advise that they were reporting this to their head office. in the mean time for me to keep the switch in auto setting. (break lights should never be disengaged).

1. 1st week having car was leaving to go on a trip, i pulled into a gas station. a driver pulled up next to us and told us we had no break lights. ( it was still dark outsid!) i got out of my car and have my wife step on the breaks, and sure enough no break lights. it was set on standard head lights on! we found that putting it into the auto light setting that we then had break lights. (break lights should never be discounted)! 2. 2nd problem my wife & i have had when going into traffic on the interstate, is the car locks into low gear and will not shift!!! major safty issure!!!! this has happen 6 times in the last 2.5 months. almost cause a car slaming into us twice.

While parked back rear glass shattered spontaneously. no object stuck glass. no visible sign of impact. car was not moving and sitting still. this was a safety issue for rear 3rd seat passengers. no warnings were present

My warning lights are showing my driver front tire psi is high passenger front is real high and passenger rear is high then driver rear is extremely low. there are no signs of hole in tire but took to tire professional and they told me the rear tire has a manufacturer defect. looks like it has been burnt or cut out spot on inside tire wall. my tire size is 255/60/r18. i have called the dealership where i just purchased the vehicle and they tell me to contact kumho tires and kumho tires tells me to contact dealership. this tire blows and can cause the vehicle to flip and possibly kill people in pathfinder or others on road.

While driving along a 2-lane country road the glass in the panoramic sunroof suddenly exploded. glass shards rained down into the passenger compartment. luckily no cuts or other injuries were incurred. the could have been a more serious situation had my wife swerved the vehicle when the glass exploded. i am currently at the dealership for them to examine it. i am aware that this has been a known issue on previous pathfinder models as well.

There seems to be an issue with the seatbelt sensors; we have noticed that when operators and passengers buckle-in before starting-up the vehicle, once the vehicle is started it does not register that seatbelts are on/in use and the dashboard displays the dashboard seatbelt warning light, requiring the occupants to remove and re-engage their seatbelts a couple times till the sensors register properly . another concern we have observed is that at times we will be driving through short distances, then suddenly it will feel forced as one puts the foot on the gas, while on drive (d), and it will not go smoothly as it should (almost as if it became stuck on a different gear?). we have had to safely pull-over, then turn the vehicle off and back on for the issue to self-correct. year: 2025 manufacturer: nissan model: pathfinder

Driving down the highway going 65 miles an hour and the sun roof just exploded out hardley no glass inside,sounded like a shotgun went off. its brand new pathfinder called dealer and they said they never heard of that. have never opened the sun roof window.

While the vehicle was parked and unattended, the rear window of my 2025 nissan pathfinder spontaneously shattered without any impact or external force. there was no evidence of vandalism, collision, or falling objects, and the vehicle was stationary at the time. the glass shattered entirely, leaving shards throughout the interior cargo area and rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive or leave unattended. when the glass initially broke, there was no glass that fell inward or outward — it appeared to be a slow cracking failure, where the entire pane began breaking down gradually. i approached the vehicle to investigate and opened the rear door to get a better look. as soon as i opened the door, the natural movement and vibration from the door caused the already-shattered glass to collapse inward, which is what you see in the attached photos. unfortunately, this makes it appear as if there was an impact from the outside, when in fact the glass was already fractured prior to any physical contact or movement. immediately after the incident, i took the vehicle to a certified nissan dealership for inspection. the dealer reviewed the damage but was unable to identify any clear cause or impact point, nor did they confirm a manufacturer defect. regardless, i documented the incident extensively with photographs and obtained a formal service report. to protect the vehicle from weather exposure and theft, i am proceeding with a rear glass replacement. i am submitting this report to nhtsa because i believe this to be a spontaneous failure of the rear window glass that may indicate a broader issue with the manufacturing or installation of this component. if other drivers experience this failure — especially while the vehicle is in motion — it could pose a serious safety risk to passengers. i respectfully request that this issue be formally investigated. i am also pursuing reimbursement through nissan consumer affairs.

3-25-25 i got into my car at approximately 7:20 am with my children to take them to school and as soon as i drove out of my driveway i noticed a warning light flashing on my dashboard. i drove for maybe a mile before pulling over to turn my car off and back on to see if it would go away. i also called my husband to inform him and he looked it up to see what the light was. he said it was the automatic emergency braking (aeb) warning light. i turned the car back on and started to drive again but the warning light came back on, at this time i was crossing a railroad track, and my car stopped accelerating. the engine would rev up but not accelerate. i immediately looked down to see if i was in drive and it was. at that moment a train was approaching and the train whistle was blowing and so i quickly tried to put the car in park and turn it off and back on and at that time i was able to drive my car across the tracks out of harms way thankfully. it was terrifying knowing a train was that close and my kids and i were stuck in a brand new vehicle that would not drive across the tracks. i pulled over unable to get fully off the road and turned the car off and on again and was able to drive it back home without further incident but the aeb warning light remained on until i got home. this sensor is an absolute danger and could have gotten me or my children killed.

On 03/25/2025, at 7:20 a.m., my wife, on the way to drop off the kids at school, called me and said a light came on the dash and the car was stalled on the railroad track, and a train was coming. i could hear the train whistle blowing. the car would not move off the tracks and she didn't know what the light meant. she said she turned off the car and started it again and got it off the tracks before the train could hit her, but the car was still stuck in the road. i looked online and discovered it was the automatic emergency brake system warning. she was able to turn around and get back home safely with the kids. i can't describe how frightening that was and i can't describe my emotions toward the nissan electrical engineers that would chance killing my family to install some useless unwanted technology!
