Lights Recalls (1)
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Nissan Pathfinder vehicles. The location of the brake light switch may cause the brake light switch relay to repeatedly open and close. Overtime, this can cause the relay to stick in the "ON" position, with the brake lights remaining illuminated even when the brakes are not applied. Additionally, this may interfere with the brake-shift interlock, allowing the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "Park" position, without depressing the brake pedal.
Fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, either re-install the brake light switch or swap positions with the Automatic Speed Control Device (ASCD) switch; depending on the model year vehicle. In addition, the brake light relay will be replaced with a new one. All repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began March 1, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall PC786. Note: this recall supersedes 16V-380.
Owner Complaints (6)
Your brake lights aren't working reliably—sometimes they won't turn on when you press the brake pedal while parked, and other times they turn on by themselves while you're driving without touching the brakes. Your dealer confirmed this is a known issue covered by a recall (Campaign 21V020000) that was supposedly fixed in 2021, but the problem has returned at 115,000 miles. The fix will likely involve diagnosing and repairing the brake light switch or electrical wiring that controls when the lights activate.

I have a 2015 nissan pathfinder. I had my transmission changed under warranty after two years and 8 months later I've started to have acceleration problems and the break lights stay on after the vehicle is turned off. Usually after a complete stop or yielding I can push the gas pedal to the floor and nothing will happen for several seconds.
