I’ve had nothing but problems since I’ve bought my 2011 pathfinder. I can’t remote lock or unlock my drivers side door. I have to manually do it. I’ve noticed that if I’m going the speed limit with my radio on the volume will stay at the set loudness. But when I slow down the volume lowers by itself. The heat only stays hot/warm when I’m driving at a higher rate of speed. There’s I much wrong with it. My catalytic converters are messed up and need to be replaced.

It is common to see door lock actuators fail, the door latch will need to be replaced.

That is a feature; auto sound leveling, it increases the volume as road noise increases. This feature can be turned off.

The engine is low on coolant, the radiator should be refilled before using the vehicle again.

A perusal of the Owner’s Manual should explain how to change/override this feature.

I think that the OP needs to become more familiar with his/her vehicle, both underneath the hood, and in regard to the Owner’s Manual.
