MY VEHICLE IS A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP, THEN ATTEMPTING TO ENTER TRAFFIC OR CLIMB A HILL, THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. IT HAS A HESITATION WHICH IS VERY CONCERNING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE ALMOST APPEARS TO SPUTTER OUT. THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH ME SEVERAL TIMES BUT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AT LEAST FOUR TIMES. THE DEALER DID ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE SITUATION WITH A RECALLED PART ON THE TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER, IT IS STILL HAPPENING. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE FE…

MY EMERGENCY BRAKING KEEPS SENDING ME ALERTS WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME. I'M GETTING MESSAGES THAT THE SYSTEM IS DISABLE BECAUSE OF AN OBSTRUCTION. THIS HAPPENS A LOT OF TIMES WHEN IT'S RAINING OUT. I HAVE OPEN A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CASE NUMBER 32896677. THE DEALER TELLS ME RAIN CAN EFFECT THE SYSTEM. WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD IS WHEN YOU NEED THE SYSTEM THE MOST.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2017 PATHFINDER WITH 10,300 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. YESTERDAY JANUARY 18, 2018 I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOLLOWED BY THE SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRICAL SMELL. THE NOISE STOPPED BUT THE SMELL CONTINUED FOR A SHORT TIME. THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN TODAY BUT THERE WAS NO REPEAT PERFORMANCE. WHAT COULD THIS BE AS I FOUND A SIMILAR PROBLEM POSTED.

I CURRENTLY HAVE 38000 MILES ON MY CAR AND HAVE ALREADY HAD THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP REPLACED PLUS THE LOW PRESSURE ONE. MY ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED LAST MONTH AND NOT MY COOLANT FAN IS MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE AND HAS TO BE REPLACE. I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THE ENTIRE VEHICLE CAUSE WITHIN A YEAR I HAVE HAD WAY TOO MANY PROBLEMS.
