2025 Nissan Pathfinder

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!
