Noticed water dripping from the driver side visor and a puddle on the floor of the vehicle this morning I did not have any problems in the car wash but rained last night and here we are.
Mine was making a sloshing sound yesterday saw a few drops of water. Mostly hearing noise in the upper right either the window or roof area.
my 2022 athfinder is leaking from under the sun visor. The dealer said they assume the drain holes are clogged by debris (the car is 6 weeks old) and they refuse to pay for repairs stating it is not covered by warranty. They did not even take apart to see that this is the case but “assumes”. I’m beside myself. Anybody have any suggestions on what our next steps should be? This is my 5th Nissan I’m so disappointed.

Sounds like you need to go to a different dealership or to call corporate Nissan and to open a case. Its definitely should be covered under warranty.
I have same thing on my SL with panoramic roof. Roof closed, and pouring rain

Yes! I have the 2022 Pathfinder SL and we had a ton of rain in Seattle this last week and now it's leaking from all over the roof and through the buttons. After spending as much as I did on this car 5 months ago...it should not be leaking. It was literally soaking my child while we were driving the other day. I have an appointment with Nissan tomorrow.

I have and I know just how feel no back bone from Nissan dealing with a leak myself 2022 pathfinder platinum 7500 mine no one seems bothered by the point ìt has water running out òf dome light and overhead control panel and right upper corner just started 3 weeks ago
Hello, sorry to jump onto this thread but I am also experiencing same leak from same spot. My wife has heard the water gurgling on drivers' side roof area after it rains. we took it to the dealer and got a NPF. no problem found.
Now; the service director told me Nissan engineers advised it is a normal condition... the car is not designed to support so much rain (i live in Miami, Florida) and the drains got "overwhelmed" and flooded causing it to leak inside..
I do have case with Nissan of North America and she advised if i wasnt happy with the dealers findings, i can go to another for a second opinion? WOW.

on a side note, for a NPF condition... the dealer DID detail my car, order a new headliner (due to it being kinked from water or poor workmanship when attempting to diag it) and heres the kicker... the left the vehicle INSIDE the shop once it was put back together because it was raining.

...today, it rained. the gurgling is back, not leaking yet. will check later.

Mine is the same issue, located in Canada.
New pathfinder was purchased in Apr 2022.
Last week after an overnight heavy rain, the next day morning noticed the leaking from the driver's sun visor area.

Today the dealer had an hour water test but nothing at all.
What should we do? I am going to call Nissan Canada tomorrow.
So frustrated.

Here’s the issue on mine. Left side drain tube kinked.

after given my car back on first visit with a no problem found / normal condition, I went on a road trip w family, and it was down pouring.... BAD. Water accumulated in left side head area and now there was a gurgling sound coming from roof... I already had an appt with Nissan for the next week (engineer would be there)
I pointed out this forum and someone having the drain tube kinked. they checked and sure enough. they believed that was my issue too...

now for the kicker, the gurgling they're aware of. water in the sunroof drains bubbling causing the noise, he states there is no fix for now and they are suggesting turning the ac off recirculate to lessen the cabin pressure. I might get a TSB or bulletin if and when there is a water gurgle correction.

with that poor excuse, reason I walked over to sales and traded out of the car, I don't want to deal with this anymore. my car has been down a week this second visit... the Nissan consumer affairs lady, ela, does not return calls. today, her deadline for a response, I received 3 calls at the same time... it rang, I answered, it rang again from same number so I answered while one call on hold and I assume the 3rd call came in because I was left a voicemail telling me that she reached out and since nobody answered, I was scheduled to be called back in 3 business days.

this is COMPLETE BS. never again will i buy nissan.
sales paid my car off and I ended getting a USED Silverado. '

what a joke of a company Nissan Motor is.

And here’s the call log showing 3 calls all at the same
time. I can only assume this was done so they could leave a voicemail and not risk me answering the call. What a joke.

I think this is BS

This is a new platform and sometimes there are issues. No manufacturer is exempt. This is why it is better to wait one or two years before buying a new model.

with that poor excuse, reason I walked over to sales and traded out of the car
By doing that, you did them a favor... and they made money twice from you.

this is COMPLETE BS. never again will i buy nissan.
I hear you, welcome to the club !
My wife really liked the car and I never by new model year but.. she really liked the car. Lesson relearned.
For those having water leaks, do you have a sun roof? I’m interested in knowing if this problem occurs in Pathfinders WITHOUT a sun roof.
Just bought new 22 pathfinder. On a trip to North Carolina we went through a severe rain storm and experienced both the roof leak and giggling noise. Glad to know it is a known issue. I’ll take it to the dealer.
Hello All,

Bought my 2022 pathfinder platinum Saturday 9/3/2022. Drove my daughter back to college with it on labor day Monday 9/5.
Both driver side and passenger side leaking the whole way there...
Brought car to the dealer yesterday and by the end of the day I was told. "We could not see any water intrusions and we put the car through many car washes. I had informed them that they need to recreate a scenario that would have them driving 60 mph while it rains.
I have video and pictures which i emailed the service dept.

I'm pissed!
Not even 3 days. Wife and I called nissan motors.
We were told..........I'm Sorry.
That was it. Just I'm sorry.
My apologies for the grammar.
I'm furious
