| Description of the problem | Noise coming from the front of the vehicle from fan assembly as a/c is put on. Noise goes away as climate control is turned off. Reading multiple forum this seems to be a common problem on nissan pathfinder (2013-2017). Oem part cost $513 and replacement at dealer for vehicles that are out of warranty cost $1000 or more. Something needs to be done about this by the manufacturer to resolve the issue. Replacing fan assembly is not trivial for consumers. |
