What owners wrote
I drove up to 16,000 miles and then the engine suddenly made a weird sound. I went to 2 nissan dealerships to check it out and it said it was normal for 2016 pathfinder.but while driving sometimes it will cause a humming noise like a bee and its really annoying, I went to check it out and it said it was normal, what do I do now?
Our nissan pathfinder 2016 was suddenly making loud noise which was coming from the front (engine area). The dealer diagnosed that replacement of fan shroud is necessary and that's expensive. We send car for regular maintenance, what else we can do!! The miles on my car is above 50000 and that's when I came across this problem. I have never had this kind of problem in any of my cars so far. This is something to do from the manufacturing side.
