| Description of the problem | I have a 2015 nissan pathfinder. The vehicle has 53k miles and essentially the radiator/ a/c condenser fan assembly started making a grinding (metal to metal, knocking noise. For sure the fan blades are out of balance, i have not seen any broken fan baldes or tips. I've read some complaints from other pathfinder owners and it seems to be a defect from nissan. So far the issue seems start happening at around 50k miles and up. For the fan(s) to give out at 50k miles seems to me a little more r&d should have been applied. So far i've only seen the 2015 models with the issue. By the way, the vehicle has never been in an accident... All factory, untouched... Unrelated but does anyone else's abs brake unit make a loud whining noise? I remember the the vehicle was new, the noise was at a bare minimum. As the miles climb up so does the noise... |
