Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated that while driving approximately 12 mph and making a left turn, the vehicle became hesitant while attempting to accelerate. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. the technician stated that the torque converter would have to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 100. *jb
Driving from cocoa, florida to virgina, the car kept jerking. it felt like when the engine got hot it was jerking more and worse. by the time we reached the south of the border (north carolina and south carolina) the transmission shut down and the car couldn't move (in the middle on i-95). we were lucky there were no cars behind us otherwise there would be a pile of car behind us. *tr
Vehicle started showing sudden shudder/judder at low speed (up to 30 mph) in july, 2013. it happened four times. nissan dealer was informed about it. first day of winter; around october 20 vehicle lost power and transmission slipped twice from stop to go and another time in low speed. since then the problem of power loss and transmission slip occurred 9 time very randomly. there is no way to duplicate it. dealer checked the vehicle 4 times so far and has not found any problem or code. nissan consumer affairs have been informed. this has become a safety hazard because - when vehicle loses power during close/busy traffic situation in a city like pittsburgh, pa it creates chances of getting hit from behind. already narrowly escaped from one incident like this. vehicle currently has 12100 miles. so far power loss issue always occurred in cold days; up to 36f. engine never shut off in any of the occurrences. *tr
As you decelerate from 50 -55 mph and slow down to 40 mph, the vehicle begins to "shudder", similar to driving over rumble strips that are typically found along highways that alert drivers that they are moving onto the shoulder. after 4-5 seconds, the shudder stops and the vehicle drives normally. reading on the internet, this appears to be occurring with a number of vehicles and may result in transmission failure over time. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. while driving various speeds, the vehicle jerked and switched gears. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission was faulty. the transmission was replaced, but the failure continued. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 4,000.
We, like many other owners, are having problems with the cvt transmission in our 2013 nissan pathfinder 4x4. at low speed acceleration, transmission shakes violently and power is lost -- cannot speed up. also happens at high/highway speeds. it is an intermittent problem but a dangerous one, both when trying to speed up from rolling start or when passing/accelerating at highway speeds. i have contacted nissan, taken to a dealer where they say they will replace torque converter. i hope this will help but most other owners reporting similar issues say these are not fixes and problems recur. will report back. beyond the transmission issue, our hood also buffets significantly at highway speeds. it visibly shakes and when i asked the dealership to fix, they said they could not recreate and it wasn't dangerous. *tr
We purchased vehicle with 9 miles on odometer. after driving from billings mt to riverton wy, approximately 4 hours, we noticed what we thought was a slight shutter, vehicle failed to accelerate. now, when the vehicle reached approximately 800 miles, it now has 1100 miles, the vehicle has done this approximately 20 times. the problem is progressively getting worse and more frequent, and having two kids, a 8 year old and 6 month old, we are kinda scared to drive the vehicle. the computer screen also shown 3 times, has said, key failed to sync. *tr
The transmission seems to slip or stutter or shake at low speeds. we notice it when making turns into parking lots or starting off at intersections or entering or exiting cloverleaf loop ramps at intersections. it is an intermittent problem. sometimes it stutters and shakes harder than at other times. we first noticed it only a couple of weeks after we bought it. *tr
At speeds varying from 16mph to 40mph the vehicle can have a horrible shake. one way to describe it is when you run over rumble strips at highway speeds. the vehicle did have the nissan tsb repair performed which installed a new torque converter but this did not fix the issue. my wife will describe the shaking similar to when the engine on a manual transmission gets too low and the car shakes. i have not been able to determine a pattern to recreate the problem but it happens nearly every day. i have done multiple test drives with nissan service personnel but was unable to "make it happen" when the person was in the car. i was told by one service personnel that they see this complaint mostly by women because men have a tendency to be more aggressive with the throttle. since the shaking occurs at low rpm's and within that speed range, the only way i know to make sure it doesn't happen is to make sure the rpm's rise quickly above 2,000-2,500 rpm. it is not safe to be coasting thru town at 25mph then have to rev the engine just to maintain speed... i also do notice a lack of power or "transmission confusion" when the shaking occurs. once the shaking starts, the way to stop it is to accelerate or let off the gas. either way there is a lack of power, hesitation and ability to accelerate! *tr
On june 15, 2013 my vehicle began shaking while i was driving it. i took in into the dealership that day. they said there was a recall on the torque converter so they replaced it. they called me 2 weeks later to come get my vehicle. within the first day having it back it was shacking even worse like it was going to cut off. it scared me. i called dealership again they came and picked up the vehicle. after the dealership had my vehicle for several weeks they told me they had to replace the transmission. the 2013 nissan pathfinder's were reporting issues with them and i was told i wasn't the only owner going through this problem. i should call the corporate nissan office and start a claim. i did so that day. i got a call saying my car was ready and they would drop it off to me. after two days of having my vehicle i had problem's once again. i was driving up onto my driveway and there was a incline. my engine made the noise like it was rearing up i tried it 3 times pushing down on the gas pedal and still nothing. so, i put it in park and called the dealership the next business day, they test drove it and found no problem's with it. meanwhile i had a open case with nissan to try and buy back my vehicle because i didn't feel safe in it with my 3 children. i heard back a couple days ago that my request had been denied. they have offered me 2 more years extension on my transmission warranty. i am extremely dissatisfied. this will be my 3rd nissan owning and this is the first problem i have ever had. i am worried about this matter. i spend a lot of money for a vehicle and i expect to not get a lemon. i have been out of my vehicle since june 15 pretty much. i don't want to get stranded on the side of the road because my brand new vehicle is not reliable.
Transmission shudders at low speed up inclines. there needs to be a recall as this affected a broad segment of 2013 pathfinders. this has happened multiple times. the dealer service bulletin to reprogram the computer did nothing. *tr
1. front end shutters due to cvt transmission problem, nissan meta replaced transmission torque convertor but that did not fixed problem. 2. both rear tail gate decals were put on at a slight angle. meta nissan replaced them both, the nissan decal and the pathfinder wording. 3. then top roof plastic molding rubber grommet came loose. the nissan dealer ordered parts, but since they were on shortage they have not come in yet. 4. mpg and mph display is off. from my point of view it looks like a software issue with program. mph should change dynamically as speed of vehicle change. that is not the case on this car. 5. front doors are incredibly heavy, why? when the doors are half the way open they immediately shut and cannot stay open. often the doors shut while we are trying to get in the vehicle. 6. passenger seat air bag sensor stays one when someone in seat. 7. front brake noise.
Vehicle shaking/shuddering while driving. seemed like the vehicle is loosing power and not responding to controls. tachometer and speedometer gauge also shake/jitter. *js
When i am accelerating or driving at low speeds the car shudders. 'been to nissan twice now, it still shudders even though they reprogrammed the ecm and replaced the torque converter after removing the engine. *tr
We purchased our new 2013 nissan pathfinder on 03/16/13, from tustin nissan in tustin, california.. at approximately 3000 miles, the vehicle's transmission began to shutter and jerk the vehicle when driven at approximately 15 to 20 miles per hour. initially, it occurred not too often and we did not think much of it. the shuttering got much stronger as time went on and became more often. during these occurrences it appeared that the vehicle lost power which caused the vehicle to slow down. this created a safety concern due to nearly being struck by vehicles a few times while pulling out of driveways and merging into highway lanes. its a safety issue and nissan needs to fix. took the car to the dealer and said we can't duplicate the issue. so not sure what to do. *tr
I bought my 2013 nissan pathfinder in may 2013. i first noticed the problem about two weeks after i bought the vehicle. i was driving about 15 mph hour as i was driving into a school parking lot. the pathfinder was jerking violently. on monday after work i drove my vehicle to the service department , but i left the dealership upset as the service manager stated that he could not keep the vehicle being that when we test- drove it, he could not duplicate the problem. a couple of weeks later. i returned to the dealership again with the same problem, but this time they did keep my vehicle to check it out. i was told they could not duplicate the problem. they did however, say that they had replaced the the torqued converted. on the third time to the dealership, they replaced the transmission. however, the vehicle continues with the same problem. the vehicle has been taken to the dealership a total of six times for the same problem.....jerking really bad. it now has several other problems such as when stopped, i feel a strong jolt as if hit from behind.the vehicle has also had other problems to numerous to mention. i am totally dissatisfied with this vehicle. i just don't feel safe driving this vehicle!!!! *tr
I have become aware of two different issues with my 2013 pathfinder. first, and most important, is an issue with the passenger airbag. the light that illuminates to inform you if the passenger airbag is on or off will come on or off intermittently with the same person/object in the passenger seat. this has occurred on 4 separate occasions. it happened twice with myself riding in the passenger seat, once with my son, and once with a backpack. the passenger airbag light would be off, indicating the airbag was on, and then after several miles the light would come on. or the light would be on and after several miles it would go off. this is a safety issue and could cause death if in an accident! i took the vehicle to my local dealership where it was put on the computer, which showed everything was fine. they also drove the vehicle 20 miles to see if they could get it to happen and it did not. mine was not one of the models on the recall list for this very same issue. they told me to bring it back if it happens again, but i am afraid to drive it. we are a family of seven, so someone has to sit in the passenger seat. the second issue is a shuddering that occurs when decelerating or accelerating at lower speeds. it has happened several times causing me to take my eyes off the road and look at the instrument panel to see if something is wrong. the vehicle is sluggish when this happens. i am worried that it will happen turning into traffic and cause an accident. *tr
Shortly after purchasing my new 2013 nissan pathfinder in may of 2013, i started to experience the vehicle violently shuttering at lower speeds. it seemed as if the car would lose power and i would have to release the gas pedal in order for it to stop. i have called multiple nissan service dealerships and have spoken with service managers about the issue but, they all say the same thing, "nissan is aware of the issue and they are working on issuing a recall. continue to drive the vehicle. it will not cause damage to the vehicle itself". i am reaching my one year anniversary with this vehicle and the problem continues and is becoming noticeably worse. while at first the shuttering occurred only in low speeds, it seems to be occurring while at high speeds as well. i have contacted nissan and was told that there was not an existing recall for this issue and that my vin was not a match for any transmission recalls. i was also told that a regional manager would get in contact with me and i was given a case number. *tr
While driving the 2013 nissan pathfinder the vehicle will shudder during acceleration for unknown reasons. it is intermittent and makes a driver think they have gone off the road and you are riding on a rumble strip when you are not on a rumble strip. the event is very unpredictable. it frightens the driver when it occurs and is very distracting while operating a motor vehicle. *tr
I purchased a new 2013 pathfinder for myself on 4/18/2013. i started noticing a slight shudder on take off from a stop in may. we mentioned this to the dealership in early june and the immediately acknowledge there was a problem with all the new model pathfinders. the fix was a torque converter for the cvt but the parts were on back order with no known eta. in late september they called saying they had the part and told me to bring it in for the repair. when i came for my scheduled appointment a couple days later they turned me away stating the torque converter was found not to fix the problem and they needed to completely replace the transmission. again, the parts were on back order and no known eta. the transmission replacement was finally done 10/24/2013 and we started feeling the shuddering right away. i thought it was the transmission breaking in. the problem is much worse now with the car losing complete power and causing potential accidents. i have a 12 month old riding in this vehicle. we are currently requesting nissan to repurchase the vehicle because the dealership says there is nothing they can do. *tr
When i had my new car for only two weeks, while driving on side streets, i started to hear rumbling like i was going over rough road or a warning strip at random times when i accelerated. then it also happened when i tried to accelerate on the parkway. when i called the dealership, they stated that they had no idea what i was talking about. told me to bring the car in a week later when they had a loaner car available. i took it on june12th, and they still stated they did not know what the problem was. i started to research and found out that this is a common transmission problem in the 2013 pathfinders.when i told them i knew this was a common transmission problem, the dealer is still stating they know nothing about it, but now want to replace my torque converter when they get the part that is currently not available. i called nissan and have asked for a refund of my money. i do not want a brand new car with transmission problems! i can't use it to tow my boat and am afraid to go any long distances. they still have not called me back. how can they continue to sell this car when there are nationwide problems with this transmission? *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated that the passenger's side air bag would not activate when the front passenger's seat was occupied. when a 100 pound person occupied the seat, the air bag would not recognize the weight however, the air bag would recognize the weight of a 140 pound person. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer for service under nhtsa campaign id number:13v069000(air bags), but the repair did not correct the problem. the contact scheduled an appointment for further inspection. the failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 4,866. update 4/7/14 va the consumer believes this vehicle is a lemon in accordance to the massachusetts consumer protection act (massachusetts general laws; c.90 sec. 7n1/2). since the purchase of the vehicle, it has been taken to the dealership for failure a total of 7 times. the vehicle has been out of service for repairs for a total of 45 business days. failures also include rear hatch scraped against the body and spoiler contacts the roof when opening/closing, vehicle shuddered around 16 miles per hour, loss of air from the left front tire, driver's window would not close, vehicle shuddered between 12 and 20 mph, and the climate control on driver's side not working properly. updated 04/9/2014 *js
Pathfinder shook uncontrollably and lost power. has happened multiple times. even after a transmission replacement, problems still occur. has happened on highway at random intervals, causing other drivers to have to brake suddenly behind us. *tr
This vehicle was purchased new in december of 2012. in less than 12 months, i have lost complete confidence in the manufacturing of the vehicle and its ability as a reliable, safe and acceptable option to meet the needs of me and my family. the details of each incident to date are listed below. the vehicle is now under review for repurchase by the corporation, and will sit in the dealership's parking lot until a resolution is reached that maintains my safety. 12/13 - 10 miles - purchased. 5/29/13 - 9,874 miles - dropped off for service, experiencing 'shudder' when accelerating after coasting, issue occurred at various of driving between speeds of 25-40mph and 1000-1500rpm. dealer unable to replicate issue, car returned. 7/16/13 - 12,645 miles - dropped off for same issue, able to duplicate, replaced torque converter per bulletin ntb13-064a. 7/19/13 - 12,655 miles - car returned for check engine light and passenger side front wheel noise. o2 sensor failed and was replaced. support bearing on drive axle frozen, passenger side front drive axle replaced. 9/9/13 - 15,825 miles - dropped off for continued 'shudder', similar driving conditions. entire transmission replaced as required per ntb 13-086. 10/29/13 - 16,930 miles - returned for again experiencing 'shudder' when accelerating after coasting, issue occurred at slightly lower speeds, similar rpms. dealer unable to replicate issue, case opened for potential repurchase. *tr
Vehicle shuddering. my 2013 pathfinder has had transmission shuddering for the past 4 months with no resolution. i have made 4 trips (for the same complaint) with the following results. 1) nissan knows of the problem, will be notified when a solution is found, last week of may 2013 2) unable to find issue june 2013 3) made a call to nissan customer service and a new visit was scheduled, on third visit the problem was duplicated but was told to wait results on current vehicles having had their torque converter and transmissions being changed. 4) on the 4th visit 9/7/2013 (due to a new metal stress noise coming from vehicle at low speeds) after duplicating the issue was told that the noise is also coming from the transmission assembly and that dealer is waiting for fix from nissan. originally the only solution was offered to "push the gas pedal" to get out of the shuddering. as a driver you're not always able to just push the gas pedal, specially at the speeds that this issue happens, as you may have another vehicle in front of you... and other vehicles behind you may just increase their speed believing you're doing the same and may, as a result, rear end you, because your vehicle is slowing down instead of speeding up. another major safety concern is the breaking down of a transmission, specially during cold winter months and since a fix is not yet available makes for a potential accident waiting to happen. nissan does also say "they don't deal with lemon laws" and to other customers, have denied buybacks. as of september 2013 i have a vehicle with transmission shuddering, transmission metal noises (stress noises) and no solution... which makes the number of attempts to bring the vehicle back for repairs useless because nissan repair facilities are telling me "we have our hands tied". *tr
We have experienced intermittent problems with the vehicle shaking or vibrating while accelerating or decelerating, with temporary loss of power at low speed 10-20 mph. this has occurred several times, even after the recall reprogram was done. the most recent occurrence happened twice may 17, 2013, ten days after picking it up from the dealership after they drove it for 300 miles and did not duplicate the issue. we were told that the recall was to address the shaking issues with the vehicle and would be corrected by reprogramming the computer (which was supposed to have already been done) and it did not resolve the problem. some nissan employees say there is no issues known with the pathfinder and some will admit it there is, but say engineering is working on a fix for it, but claim it is not a safety concern. my wife almost ended up in a ditch on one occasion and then missed rear ending a vehicle while the vehicle was shaking and she was slowing down on another occasion. the problem is not easily duplicated, so it tough to show it happening, but does someone actually have to get hurt before it becomes a safety issue and is really looked into? *tr
Transmission seems to cut out suddenly. has happened 15-20 times in 4 months of ownership. have not taken to dealership yet. doesn't seem to be a pattern other than happens when accelerating from a stop or from low speed. love the car...hope they can solve what appears to be a common problem . *tr
The car shudders, periodically as you are accelerating anywhere from speeds of 20mph to 40 mph. it doesn't do this all the time, but when it starts to shudder is very nerve wracking. concerned transmission is being damaged/or defective. nissan doesn't seem to have a fix for this. i am told it is a problem with pathfinders produced before jan 13. *tr
When my vehicle is not experiencing shuddering at either 10-20 mph or 40 mph, it will exhibit a new condition at those speeds. currently i am seeing the engine rev up 300-500 rpms prior to the torque converter locking up and a loss of acceleration (feels hesitant) until the engine rpms return to the lower level they were at prior to the rev up. my service rep said he did not reprogram the transmission controller so this may be a "learned condition" to offset the shuddering i had been and still do experience. *tr
In stop and go traffic from the doubletree hotel at i-85 to emory hospital at about 20 mph when accelerating from a stop the transmission would shutter and vibrate as it moved into the next gear ratio it happened three times that day and on two other occasions back home with 6 to 7 hundred miles on the car. this car has the cvtransmission. no problems at any other speed. *tr
Transmission shudder on accelerating 18 to 20 mph. *tr
This vehicle would buck and jump due to the transmission factory problem,we with dealership and they rebuilt this original one and told me there were problems across the states. this lasted about 3 weeks i went back to dealership and they had to have a service technician drive it with computer attached to throw a reading this took about 4 days. the nissan main headquarters agreed to put a new one in and said they had a fix this was close to sept. holidays transmission box came but had a motor in it, then i had to call back headquarters because they were a month behind on fixing the ones they were ahead of me,so i had to get upset with them and they sent one in about 2 days. now that has been about 3 weeks and my vehicle is jumping and bucking again,headwater will not fix this until a technician drives the vehicle again and computer must throw a code. i am tired of having to wait on a fix i am making $547.00 payment for 7 months and it has been in the shop most of this time. *tr
Experiencing shuddering upon slow accelerations. feels like driving over rumble strips. brought to dealer who was unable to replicate the problem, thus no action was taken by dealer.
Whole family is in the car and i was driving . while we are entering to highway and merging to right line, shudder happens and we loose all engine power , gas pedal becomes useless and only thing i can do was to slow down. in that instant we are almost rear ended by semi truck. cvt transmission put the car into shudder state. we were not able to speed up while merging to highway for almost 20 seconds. *tr
I bought a new 2013 nissan pathfinder about 2 months ago with only 900 miles on it and the transmission started to have problem. after about 300 miles on the suv i started to feel the shudder/jerking when i accelerate slowly from 0 to about 20 mph. on 2 occasions when i slowed down to make a turn the transmission jerk so hard that the whole car was shaking. i did not feel this jerkiness when i test drove the 2013 at the dealer or the 1st couple hundred miles on my suv. it becomes very annoying for daily driving. i took to nissan dealer couples time and nissan dealer said that it's normal for a cvt transmission to act that way and nissan does not have a software update to fix it yet. i do not think it is normal for a brand new car to act that way. *tr
On several occasions that day i experience the transmission shuddering while accelerating lightly between 10-20 mph feeling as though i was going over a warning strip. it would occur during turns and when i slowed nearly to a stop for a stoplight and cars ahead of me and then accelerate through that 10-20 mph. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda pathfinder. the contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle vibrated jerked and lost acceleration. the failure was experienced numerous times. the vehicle was taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed; which located the failure at the transmission. the contact did not know the name of part that needed to be replaced within the transmission. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the current and failure mileage was 1,000.
On my new 2013 nissan pathfinder sl 4x4 i am having the following problem. when accelerating from a stop, or increasing speed from a turn, the car sputters, power fluctuates, and sometimes it vibrates and feels like i am driving over a grid. shifting is rough while driving, and the car sometimes feels like it's going to stall, or like i'm driving a standard transmission and i've let off the clutch too soon. the problem has been ongoing and started inconsistently where i thought maybe it was road conditions and not the car, but the problem now occurs every time i drive the car, it's getting worse, and i'm expecting any day for it to break down on me. i purchased the car new on 2/26/13, so i've had it just over 3 months. *tr
While climbing an incline in a parking garage, turning to go up the ramp from the right hand curve, the truck lost power as i gave the accelerator more pressure. it took 2-3 seconds of acceleration before it would move. 4 days later, while turning right from a stop and putting pressure on the accelerator in order to flow into 50mph traffic, the truck lost power. it took 3-4 seconds of acceleration before it would move. i was also in a loaner 2013 pathfinder sv, the same trim as mine, after we took mine in to service this power loss issue and it also lost power after turning right from a stop and attempting to accelerate into traffic. *tr
I purchased a 2013 nissan pathfinder sl. the vehicle shudders and vibrates excessively from 20 to 30 mph and at low rpm's(1000 to 1,500 rpm's). also, the vehicle has begun to shudder like this at speeds up to 50 mph. i tried switching to 2wd and to full time 4wd mode but without luck. i also tried to switch off the overdrive also without luck. the service advisor at the dealer told me that this is happening with all of the pathfinders and that these new cvt transmissions operate this way. i asked to speak to the service manager, who repeated everything the original advisor stated, but stopped short of saying it is 'normal' for the vehicle to perform in this fashion. he also told me he is driving the same model as me and that he has gotten used to the vibrations. i hope nissan comes up with a simple fix for this problem, until then i am unpleasantly surprised. *tr
Vehicle shudders as if driving over rumble bars for approximately 5 seconds when accelerating slowly -- usually around 40 mph. *tr
********basically we traded in our 2012 pathfinder for the 2013 pathfinder on april 2013.************* we immediately noticed some flaws with the vehicle. my experience with the vehicle began to shudder at low speed every once in a while. also the hood will shake while driving over 40mph., as if it wanted to fly off. i called nissan dealerships, spoke with service managers and they stated that nissan is aware of the issue and working on issuing a recall. their advice was to continue driving vehicle as normal, shouldn't result any damage. oh, were they wrong! it's been about a year with this vehicle and the problem not only continues but, has become worse. i can't drive 5 mph without the vehicle shuddering recklessly, as if part of the engine wants to fall off. well, now i have a new issue, on startup my vehicle throws white/gray smoke as if a bomb blew up. this is so embarrassing. i immediately took the vehicle to the dealer, they came back to say they found "sludge" in the engine, that it has to be replaced! ok, but according to nissan they are not going to cover this, since they assume we are liable. we have maintained this vehicle properly and if this engine failed and covered in sludge, that has to be a recall. at, this point in time nissan has communicated with me one time in a week. i spoke to the service manager, he's not very helpful in trying to resolve this issue. he just advised that we sell the vehicle back to nissan. unbelievable, this has become a total nightmare, i overheard some workers at the dealers discussing issues about the 2013 pathfinder, they are aware of the issues this vehicles has, but their main goal is to sell. not inform the consumers about this piece of crap!!! *tr
Vehicle shudders (as if driving over a rumble strip) at various speeds, but most notably when slowly accelerating through approximately 40mph. *tr
The vehicle shudders, as if going over a highway rumble strip, for approximately 2 to 3 seconds when accelerating from a slow roll. during this shuddering period the car loses all power and fails to respond. *tr
Intermittent transmission shudder ranging from mild to violent with accompanying decrease of power. shudder primarily occurs at low speed in the 20-40 mph range but has also occurred at highway speeds when transmission is not shifting. shudder seems to be caused by a variety of variables including speed and degree of inclination of the road. loss of power has occurred in potentially dangerous passing situations. *tr
Starting around 1100 miles, our car shudders and shakes as if it is going to stall when being driven around 20 mph. it has happened between 15 and 20 times now over the course of 10 days. we purchased it april 11, it first happened april 17, and was in the shop from 4/22 until 5/10. we had it out of the nissan service shop for less than 24 hours when it started happening again. wow. just thought i would add myself to the below list of similar scenarios. i hope nissan figures out what is going on and takes good care of/compensates their paying customers. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and failed to accelerate. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. the vehicle was not repaired and the problem persisted. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 21. *tr
Sudden lost of power to vehicle where vehicle will not accelerate while engine rpm will spike. later found out that a clip for the transmission cooler house had failed which allowed all transmission fluid to spill out. was lucky that i was on a rural road when this happened and not entering into highway traffic or else accident would surely happen. found out from dealer that there was a bulletin to replace the clips as they were not up to spec to handle the pressure. i was never notified by nissan on this defect and it occurred before i even had my first service. now i'm left with to me a compromised transmission which nissan refuse to replace. they only refill the fluid and said it was ok. this is my family vehicle which i use to transport my 4yr and 1yr old. *tr
Transmission shudder and loosing power for a brief moment on accelerating around 20-30 mph. it feels as if driving on rough surface. it is progressively getting worse. *tr
During light to moderate acceleration, there is a shudder in the transmission. it feels as though the transmission is slipping. this has happened multiple times in the last few days. *tr
