Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Windshield cracked on passenger side 2 weeks after purchase. Then a few months later a star formed behind rearview mirror in middle of glass. The windshield is pitted in spots. Then last week the driver window cracked and has ran all the way up the window in a day. I feel like the glass in my car if bad. I reported it to my dealership and was given a run around about the extended warranty doesn’t cover glass that’s already cracked. It cracked and was hit all at the same time. In all 3 instances! I feel it’s a safety hazard, to drive around and something hit your windshield and just cause it to crack completely through! It’s also a HUGE EXPENSE for a new vehicle to have these issues.
I would like to submit a safety concern for a new vehicle that I purchased in April. The Nissan Pathfinder Platinum edition is indeed a very nice vehicle, but there are two issues that need to be addressed immediately. The first is that the windshield washer probe is located one- and one-half inches inside the hood near the windshield. This translates into a low stream of washer fluid that hits the 40-inch-tall windshield at the seven-inch mark from the bottom of it. This means that the wiper blades cannot and do not “catch and move the washer fluid” up to clean the entire windshield. I drove in a snowstorm recently, this proved to be extremely problematic for me and I had poor visibility looking out of the windshield.
I just bought my Nissan Pathfinder SL about a month ago. On the first day while I was driving it home I noticed a shaky driver's side mirror. It has been persistent since then on highways, in a windy day, or most frequently when there are surface imperfections on the road. The mirror shakes so much that I cannot see clearly the image which in my belief is a safety hazard. I understand there should be a specification that each vehicle needs to meet, but to me this does not appear to be a normal characteristic of a car. As a matter of fact, the passenger's side mirror does not vibrate at all, regardless the speed, wind, or road imperfections. My other vehicles also do not behave like this. I took the vehicle in at my local dealership (Garber Nissan in Saginaw). After an hour's inspection, they said it was a normal characteristic of the vehicle, which is not acceptable to me. I am in a Facebook owner group in which many Pathfinder owners have experienced the same issue with their side mirror(s). I really hope Nissan can fix this issue for us soon. It is beyond disappointing.
