What owners wrote
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power without warning. Due to the failure, another vehicle crashed into the vehicle at a low rate of speed. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. Due to the snowy weather, the contact was advised by the police that both drivers pull off to the nearest exit and exchange information. A Police report was not filed.
Cooling fan assembly for radiator and climate control. Known issue across 2014-2018 nissan pathfinders. The fans/bearings/internal motors are cheap garbage and are failing. Owners are spending $1,000 on average to correct an issue that is the dealers fault. And in many cases the repair has to be done again because the replacement parts have the same issue. This is a systemic problem. The manufacturer knows it.
