When I open the trunk I hear a loud clunk or bang as it gets about 1/4 of the way up. Come to find out it is the back hatch/door hitting the roof of the car. Seems there's not enough space between the hatch door & the roof & the hatch hits the roof when you open it & then bangs when it forces its way open. (Hope this makes sense.) In the process of the hatch & the roof rubbing each other, my paint has started to chip away.
Dealer said this is a NATIONAL problem with the new PF and they are working on a solution, but I shouldn't expect a solution for at least a month.
So, now 2 recalls to be had on the car... first the passenger airbag sensor and now the trunk/hatch. I love my car, but have to admit I'm slowly getting discouraged.
Anyone else noticing this problem with their trunk opening?
THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5MPH SLOWING DOWN FOR AN INTERSECTION, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE BRAKE FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE GEAR IN PARK TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V139000 (SERVICE BRAKES) PERFORMED; HOWEVER THE REPAIRED DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE POLICE WAS PRESENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
Anyway--since the service rep at the dealership mentioned that he had had one other complaint besides mine and I found this, I thought maybe there are others.
My question for you guys - what exactly does "loose torque bushings" mean? Is that something that will come loose again? Is this something I should be concered with? What should I be asking the service manager? I will definetly have them explain it to me better when I get the car back, but thought my experts here could also help explain it to me.
Thanks!
I have about 5000 miles/7000 kms now and everything is working beautifully. This is the quietest and most comfortable SUV I have ever owned and the gas mileage is at least 25% better than my Mazda CX9 that I traded in for this.

My car gas meter show 3/4 when I drove home from work. Then, I parked the PF in my drive way (the drive way little up the hill). After while, I started the car and saw the gas meter show full until 10 min later (it will be back to 3/4). Have you seem it on your car too ?
I have not seem the problem with my Toyota.

Thanks Dave....I havn't had much time to play around with all the settings. The nav system alone will require a degree in navigation technology. My little Garmin is so easy to use compared to the pathfinders system. I tried to enter an address while we were picking up our new vehicle and it couldn't find it in the database, however the street was about 6 or 7 years in existence. I think they get the data from Navtech and I believe it is already outdated. Have you had any problems with the nav system?
Thanks,
Jim
