Description of the problem	Loud knocking noice coming from engine, after research and dealer checkup it appears to be a very common problem for these 2014-2018 pathfinders. The problem typically occurs around 50-60k miles which is outside of the manufactures warranty. Mine began around 50k, anytime my engine gets hot and both fans kick on the cooling fan assembly starts violently vibrating (i have video with sound). The only way to stop the vibrating is to turn off the a/c which in our texas summer heat reaching over 100 degrees is unrealistic considering i use this as a family vehicle. If you look at all of the complaints reported you and do a simple google search you will see this is a very common problem and nissan is fully aware of it and in my opinion should be liable for installing a faulty fan. I was quoted $950 to replace the bad cooling fan assembly part by the dealership. It is my sincere hopes that a full investigation is done and a recall is issued for the number one complaint with this vehicle.
