2018 Nissan Pathfinder Electrical Problems

Your infotainment system has stopped working, which means your radio, climate control display, and backup camera are no longer functioning most of the time. This is particularly dangerous since you've lost visibility when backing up. The issue likely requires diagnosis and repair of the infotainment system unit, which may involve software updates, electrical connections, or component replacement.

Your display screen has gone completely blank, which means your steering wheel controls and hands-free phone system no longer work. This creates a safety concern since you can't use voice commands or control functions from your steering wheel while driving. Nissan has issued a voluntary recall for this issue on 2018-2019 Pathfinders, but your vehicle's VIN isn't included and the dealer has refused to fix it. The repair will likely involve replacing or reprogramming the Display Control Unit (DCU).

Your car randomly shuts off while driving and then restarts on its own, with jerking when it happens. When this occurs, all dashboard lights flicker off and back on, and your speakers produce a loud boom sound. You've also experienced the car not starting, and replacing the battery didn't fix the issue. This points to a potential electrical system problem that may require diagnosis of the alternator, battery terminals, or wiring connections.

The Nissan DCU/Infotainment center/Radio no longer has a working display in my 2018 Nissan pathfinder (R52 model). I haven't replaced this unit and it is still not operation in the vehicle. This display is necessary for the use of the back up camera and its failure could result in damage to the vehicle, person or property. While I have not taken this to the dealer at this time, numerous others (online posts) have experienced this issue and have brought it to the dealer. The dealers response is to replace the DCU. The stereo initially started looping, now there is no display. When placing the vehicle in reverse, you may get camera from anywhere between 2-10 seconds. There were no warning lights or indicators prior to the failure.

The windows stopped going up unless you turn the car off and wait then they slowly go up. The back lights do no work at all when they are turned on.

The entire braking system failed without warning! My 25 year old daughter was coming up to a busy intersection that usually has semi-trucks and when she went to break the breaks failed and the pedal went to the floor. I found out that there was a recall on the Nissan Pathfinder emergency breaking system and asked Nissan as was directed on their website to immediatly tow the car to the nearest Nissan dealership to get repaired. They refused! I was on the phone with them for 5 hours telling them that they had to come get their car the ABS light had been on and the car was a risk to our family, home and community as we lived on a main street. They refused. My husband got the car to Nissan. I have since have talked to Nissan and Nissan dealership for over 12 hours. This car also has a major transmission defect that Nissan dealership denies. They said the car is find even though I told them that my husband and I both notice the car slipping. We have 10 children, 8 that still living with us including 2 disabled children. We have asked Nissan to buy back this recalled, defective car and I was told to come pick it up at the dealership tomorrow and turn back in the rental car that they fixed it as much as they would. They did nothing to the transmission, and the Transmission has extended warranty. They know it has a defective part on it and have refused to fix it and said it was fine, even though they know the car could just shut down and shake violently when I am on the way to take my daughter to Boston from Ohio for her healthcare conditions. Upon getting my car to the shop the dealership stated the Calibers were bad, the rotors were bad, the front break pads were pad, and this was all on top of the recall on this car. Nissan needs to buy back there defective car immediately and Hertz should never have sold us this car with these know defects. Nissan informed us that Hertz car sales knew about the defects before selling us this car. Please Help us with inspection!
