2020 NISSAN PATHFINDER — Complaint #1786403
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about BACK OVER PREVENTION: CAMERA SYSTEM filed January 4, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1786403 (ODI reference 11446132) concerns a 2020 NISSAN PATHFINDER and was filed on January 4, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 2, 2022. The report was geocoded to Oregon based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as back over prevention: camera system, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN PATHFINDER cohort independently describe similar back over prevention: camera system failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2020 NISSAN PATHFINDER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
We rented this vehicle from Budget for about two weeks. On two separate occasions the backup camera went blank and the rear parking sensors quit working. I stopped the vehicle and shifted from reverse to drive and back but the rear view camera and sensors did not come back on. After I shutdown and restarted the vehicle, they started working again. We turned the vehicle in on 1/3/2021 and mentioned the issue to the lot attendant.
