2022 Nissan Pathfinder Brakes Problems

My 2022 Nissan Pathfinder was purchased new and now has 27150 miles. On April 9 2026, I was having my summer tires installed and was told by the tire shop that the rear brakes were worn out and needed replacement. I contacted the Nissan dealership who quoted a cost of $570 for brake replacement. There was no warning lamps or other symptoms but there is only 3mm of brake pad left. Per the dealership, at 2mm the pads will begin grinding on the rotors. The vehicle has not been used to tow or used off road and the brake pads should last much longer then 27K miles. They, or the brake system components installed by Nissan, are obviously defective.

Vehicle has 65k miles on it and has already been through 2 sets going on 3 of brakes there has been maybe 6k miles put on it and the brakes are going and possibly rotors it feels like the brakes aren't fully releasing. I've seen alot of people complaing so I know its just not my imagination.it makes the vehicle seem like it takes longer to stop

The rear brakes are failing at unusually low miles with no indicator on the dashboard that they needed service. Basically we just started hearing a grinding noise. The Nissan dealer says this is normal for that vehicle, but I have never seen brakes begin to fail this soon under normal driving conditions and no indicators.

The vehicle has just under 20,000 miles and when reversing is getting a high pitched squeak. There are a ton of online forums where other owners of a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder are stating they're being told that the rear brake pads are literally worn down to metal while the front brakes are perfectly fine. This is clearly a defect of some sort where the brake system should not be malfunctioning like this.

Very excessive brake wear causing numerous replacement of pads and warping rotors.

Front brake calipers get hot and started smoking. During simple highway travel No hard bracing and cruise control set. I’m not sure if the issue is with the two front calipers themselves or with the master cylinder or some other components that would cause both front brake calipers do this at the same time!

I have 44K miles and had to replace my rear brakes 4 times. I paid for them twice and Nissan covered the cost the first time when they ran out at 7K miles and the last time the replaced the rear brakes and rotors. There is something seriously wrong with the rear brake being undersized. I had a 2015 Pathfinder and on average got 41K per brake set.

The rear brake pads as well as the rear brake caliber on these model vehicles and brakes keeps going bad extremely fast. This car is only 2 1/2 years old and I’ve already had to spend $1100 on parts for brake calibers. It is a known fact that the manufacturer Does not have the parts in stock. They are back order for 2 to 3 weeks. This is extreme safety issue and can prevent for cars from operating and stopping safely it’s smoothly I’ve had to replace my rear brake pad four times within a year.

At 42,000 my rear breaks failed. Needing to replace all components of my rear breaks. Now there is a national back order on parts which shouldn’t be a problem for this new of a vehicle.

Rear brakes on Nissan Pathfinder are wearing unusually fast resulting in brakes failing and vehicle failing to stop. I have now had to pay to replace the rear brakes twice in less than 30k miles. Brakes should last 30-50k miles. Also I have not had to replace the front brakes once yet.

the car is burning through brakes first brakes was repaired under warranty from nissan at 15k miles now the car needed

It appears the rear brake pads degrade over a short amount of usage. My vehicle currently has approximately 28,000 miles and I have had to replace the rear pads twice. Once at 13k miles and another at 27,500 miles. Car vibrates violently upon heavy braking. This seems to be a known issue with the manufacturer; however, no recalls have been issued.

Rear brakes prematurely failing via severely increased wear in the the 20k mile range. Confirmed by two dealers.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at the dealer for a service appointment, the contact was informed that the rear brakes needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that when the front brakes were applied, the rear brakes constantly made contact with the front brakes which caused the rear brakes to wear down, unusually faster. Additionally, the contact stated that the dealer agreed that the failure was due to a manufacturer defect within the design of the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the repair fee for the rear brake replacement was refunded. The failure mileage was approximately 30,517. The VIN was unavailable.

Collision avoidance system engaged without warning forcibly stopping vehicle in the middle of highway traffic with no obstructions in front of vehicle. Rear Brake pads also wearing out at less than 30k miles. Pads went from 7mm to 2mm thickness between 5k mile oil change intervals. This lead to extreme rotor damage and replacement of rotors and pads.

Upon routine service at 15,393 miles I was told that my rear brakes and rotors needed replacement. The service advisor stated that they are at a 2 and failed the multi-point inspection. I brought the vehicle to an independent shop and they confirmed the rear brakes needed immediate replacement. Upon further research, this seems to be a pattern for the 2022 Pathfinder with many people needing to replace rear brakes at a very low mileage.

Car has 18500 miles and dealership told me the rear brake pads were at 4 mm. No driving issues. Just that they wore out very quickly. Had to have them replaced

My name is [XXX] and I have been a Nissan Consumer for over 10 years, and this is the second time I have had major issues with my breaks. Unfortunately, I did not send an email when the 1st occurrence happened but, in my brand, new Rouge around 2017, my front and back breaks went completely out and had to be replaced at 6 months, but I continued to patronize your company. This occurrence I am sending an email regarding my 2022 Nissan Pathfinder I purchased from Passport Nissan, Marlowe Heights. I called the consumer customer service number on 8/12 and was provided case # [XXX}. Nissan Consumer line says, oh, there is nothing we can do because your vehicle is not under warranty and there has not been a recall! I brought my truck in for an oil change and tire rotation (which is part of the extended warranty when I purchased my truck) on July 11, 2003, and was not informed that my brakes needed any attention. The week of 8/7/2023 I noticed my brakes were really loud when I went in reverse so I looked up when should a car/truck need new brakes seeing as though I have only had this vehicle for just a year in July. It should brake should not be needed for at least 30-60,000 miles, here I am at 12, 483 miles. I called the dealership and was informed this is likely wear and tear and that I would be responsible for the cost of new breaks if needed. I am baffled because the point of me leasing a new vehicle is an attempt to avoid major costs such as brake and engine concerns before my 3-year lease is up. Yes, I leased 3 years prior to this lease a year ago! I make an appointment and take my truck to Nissan of Marlow Heights and informed the worker of my concern and he immediately tells me, oh, it’s just a noise your bakes make early in the morning, my Toyota does the same thing in the mornings. I explained to him that it’s not just in the morning but when I go in reverse, and I demonstrated this concern and he was like, oh no that is not norm INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while depressing the brake pedal, the brakes failed to respond as needed, causing the braking distance to be extended. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the rear brake pads had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact learned that the rear brake pads was worn from 8mm to 3mm within 3,400; while the front brake pads only showed wear from 7mm to 6mm. The contact was concerned about the excessive wear on the rear brake pads. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000.

Premature front brake rotor failure casing a pulsating brake pedal and humming when applying brake pedal. Brake pedal feels to fade when first applying the brake pedal. Issue is not "covered" under manufacture warranty due to the items being classified as a wear and tear item per manufacturer even though it’s a defect.
