| Description of the problem | I have a 2015 nissan pathfinder which i bought brand new in 2015. The current mileage is 39,400. Very recently the radiator cooling fan has started making rattling noise and it appears wobble when fan is running. I have done lot of research during the last few days over the internet and it seems like a common problem with many nissan pathfinder over the years. Also, many people have had it and make complaints to nissan manufacturers directly and they refuse to admit it as a widespread problem. It's a design failure for sure and the fan can break, and may come apart and go into the engine causing major safety issues. I would like to see nhtsa made this a general recall, so no other pathfinder owner has to pay for this repair. This is becoming a serious safety issue. |
