Problems with 2014 Nissan Pathfinder POWER TRAIN

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. the contact stated while driving 20 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to respond. the rpm revved up but failed to respond. the contact stated that while lightly depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle accelerated to 45 mph. there were no warning lights illuminated. the failure was intermittent. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. a dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was informed of the failure. the failure mileage was 105,000.

Sat idling 30 minutes put car in reverse no power. put car in drive no power. neutral stepped on gas engines revved. towed to dealer dionastic bad transmission. dealer notified nissan north america willing to split the%44 $4400 rebuild cost. car has 93k garage kept dealer maintained. apparently nissan settled a class action law suit to extend the drive train warranty to 90kmi. very dissatisfied the ctv transmission was poorly engineered and designed. the rebuilt transmission come with a 1 year or 12kmi warranty. never again. stay away from missan they don't stand behind there product.

I purchased the car in 2015 and complained about transmission problems the dealer said it was ok, in 2017 i began having more transmission problems, the dealer did some work and adjustments and added a monitor of some kind and claimed everything was fine, now today a diagnosic shows my transmission is not working again and the dealer has no idea why, i have always felt this should have been taken care off years ago by replacing the transmission. there is a defect with them and there should be a recall on nissan transmission it seems many people are having problem like my self. the vehicle, slips, hestitate, vibrates when speeding up and then the engine light comes on.

The vehicle is constantly jerking and jumping every time you accelerate even even when on flat plain city street. i originally had this issue looked at back in january 3, 2020, which i didn't i have the car for 2 weeks then. i then took the vehicle in again february 5, 2020 to get another diagnostic done cause it was doing the exact same thing as before.. they said i need a cat converters. transmission repair or replacement. i have contacted nissan corporate and given them the codes that have come up and they're brushing me off.

There is a shaking/shuddering when turning at slow speeds, such as pulling into a parking spot. additionally, there have been several occasions, in both 2 wheel and auto/4 wheel, where the vehicle makes a thump while turning and/or accelerating. the issues seem to be similar to what tsb no.15-015a refer to. i purchased the vehicle 11/07/18. the thumping first occurred around may/june 2019 and the juddering began today 01/04/20

Vehicle has constantly jerked under 30 miles an hour. i had the computer reprogrammed in 2016 per the nissan recall but the shudder never went away. nissan said that i had to drive through the shudder. well today my transmission went out and nissan said there is nothing they can do. please do no buy this car.

The vehicle shutters feeling as if it will stall at low rpm between 10mph to 20mph while driving in highway commuter traffic. this was reported to my dealership multiple times at multiple service appointments such as oil changes. the problem was purposely not documented on my service sheets and i learned through the internet of what my problem was when my dealership tells me they could not detect a problem. the cvt has been a known problem when the whole time i thought i had a fuel or electrical problem with my vehicle. the dealership would have known this and kept me in the dark of this problem. i feel very let down by the dealership and nissan as this has been a problem i known of since 50k miles and the dealership would tell me no problem was detected.

2014 nissan pathfinder hybrid. my vehicle failed to accelerate after stopped at a light; car shakes like it's going to stall out; car shakes when going at low speeds and lightly pressing the gas pedal, it seems as if the transmissions tries to shift but the gear doesn't go in. my vehicle shifts into od on its own. also steering wheel doesn't feel right. lastly, trunk closes abruptly after opening; has fallen on my head several times.

At low speed (15-20 mph) the transmission shutters when accelerating. this happens most often when going up a small/slight grade.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. while driving, the contact smelled a burning odor and smoke appeared under the hood. the contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road and the smoke stopped. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to napa nissan (510 soscol ave, napa, ca 94559, (707) 253-1551) where it was diagnosed that there was a leak in the transfer case and metal in the transmission fluid. the contact stated that the vehicle was not able to be repaired because the front axle was air chiseled. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 99,000. the vin was not available.

I was driving on a highway at highway speeds when my overdrive off button turned off the overdrive without it being pushed, my vehicles rpm's went up to between 6000 and 6500 when i pushed the button on the shifter it re-engaged but the rpm's where at a constant 3500-4500 and then i lost all acceleration and the pedal went to the floor but the rpm's stayed at about 4000. i needed to coast to the shoulder of the highway. i was towed to a nearby dealer and i'm waiting for them to inform me of what the issue is.

Vehicle shudders / shakes when driving 30-45 mph. feels like not shifting properly

While driving on the highway i lost the ability to accelerate. i had to coast to the shoulder. i had my 2 young children in the car and this could have led to a terrible accident. the car is 4.5 years old and has under 39,000 miles on it. nissan has determined the transmission failed and is replacing it under warranty. the transmission problems with the 2013 and 2014 nissan pathfinders are well known at this point. it is only a matter of time before someone gets killed. order a recall now.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. while driving 60 mph, the vehicle accelerated abruptly and then decelerated to 10 mph. in addition, the check engine indicator illuminated. the contact was able to start the engine and the speed would not exceed 50 mph. the contact was able to drive the vehicle to a fuel station and then had it towed to an unknown nissan dealer. the dealer performed a diagnostic that located a failure code regarding the transmission. the dealer stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 107,800. *as *tr

Car shakes when going at low speeds and lightly pressing the gas pedal, it seems as if the transmissions tries to shift but the gear doesn't go in. the car consumes more gas than usual, and it feels very heavy even when flooring the gas pedal.

Shutters/jurking when driving 15-20 mph check engine light is now on nissan reset my cvt 2 yes ago and it's now back on with code

Truck shudders after being parked or stopped at a light on take off when trying to pick up speed. also in the motion of driving on city and or highway.

The car was unresponsive to acceleration on highway and stalled due to faulty transmission. my wife and two kids were stranded on the highway. i took car in for concerns about transmission at 77 k miles while still under warranty and they said it was fine with no codes. the car has just over 100 k. the car was dead in the water. i had to get car towed to the nissan dealership one mile away. doing more research on the transmission and saw the overwhelming evidence that the cvt transmission in the 13 and 14 is absolutely terrible and nissan knows it. the transmission was out of warranty, but have seen that nissan knows the transmissions are faulty and have helped people with repair costs. so i contacted nissan north america and they said i did not meet the criteria for which they would help. i asked what was the criteria? from the information i gathered, they will not help in replacing the transmission unless you have spent a boatload of money at the dealership service center. i had a friend of mine, same thing happened to trans, nissan paid for 70% of transmission repair. i learned that he had previously spent thousands at the service center on other repairs and he was approved. i argued with nissan that i am being penalized for having a car that worked well and did not have a bunch of repairs. so the bottom line is that nissan will help only those who have spent thousands at their service centers. they talked to me about customer loyalty. i said how can i be a loyal customer after this. nissan has sold a bunch of lies and continues to lie to customers about the transmissions. they should have been a service recall after the overwhelming evidence of the faulty transmission. never nissan.

I was driving the car today and the car starting jerking almost like stalling on the highway. this usually happens all the time on and off and happens during slower speeds or when i am making turns but yesterday it happened on the highway at high speeds and the car started juddering. when i first bought the car i took the car to nissan to check this out and they said nothing was wrong but now i took the car again to nissan and hopefully they will fix this transmission issue.

2014 n pathfinder 83,000 miles- i parked my car when i restarted it 10 min later, white smoke started coming from my exhaust. so much smoke that i was afraid to drive it. i had the car towed to my mechanic. he said that it's defiantly the engine (possible piston ring or stuck valves) he says he's heard of others with the same problem. googled and see many others with the same problem. dealer says i'm 8,000 miles out of my extended warranty. hard to believe this problem seems so wide spread and isn't a recall.

Cvt transmission problem : (1) the codes that were stored were p01710 cvt judder code & p0420 trans fluid low code (2) and transmission is taking 10secs to shift properly so needs a new transmission. nissan suburban, farmington hills, michigan, is aware of the transmission recall requirement and issues but asking me (the customer) $4500 to pay to replace cvt transmission. please contact for additional details kyle turmon assistant manager/service advisor suburban nissan of farmington hills (248)715-2072 [email protected]

I have taken my pathfinder to the shop on several occasions to have the transmission fixed. it shutters at slow speeds. my husband was told that nissan's do that and nothing is wrong. we had the cvt sensor replaced and it stopped for a while. well now it shutters at low speeds while turning a corner, in slow moving traffic, high speeds going down the interstate and sometimes when you press on the gas pedal after being stopped at a light it will act like the transmission is not engaging and then all of a sudden it will engage and make the car leap forward and it will shake. we purchased the vehicle from vic bailey ford in august 2015, was told that it still had the manufacturer warranty left on it and benson nissan in spartanburg would not honor the warranty because we didn't purchase the vehicle from them. this transmission problem has been an on going problem since we purchased the vehicle.

I purchased the 2014 pathfinder march 2018 with 27k miles. oct. 2018 during starting of the vehicle i noticed excessive amount of smoke coming from the tail pipe. my mechanic checked the truck and informed me oil was leaking from the engine into the cylinders. i contacted nissan corp and was informed to take it to a local nissan dealer. the dealer found the transmission was going bad, wheel barren. they returned the vehicle back to me after a week. the next day, the truck was smoking again everytime i would start the ignition. tried to trade the truck for another make. i can't too much equity. i only had the truck for 8 months. dec. 5th 2018, check engine light is on and low oil pressure light is on. excessive smoke still comes from the tail pipe when the truck is started. returned truck back to nissan dealer for repair.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. while driving 60 mph, the vehicle shuddered and the rpms increased and decreased. the contact stated that the failure occurred twice. the vehicle was taken to vallejo nissan (3287 sonoma blvd, vallejo, ca 94590, (707) 656-4483) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced for the third time. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 50,000.

When starting to take off (going anywhere from 5-20 mph) my car shakes like it's going to stall out, the engine or transmission does not allow the car to property speedup when accelerating. i feel extremely uncomfortable and not safe. but, i don't have another vehicle to drive. i've notice other people are having this issue too, mileage on my pathfinder is only 49,000. it's very stressful yielding on to highways and proceeding from a traffic light i was stopped at. also, i would like to mention that i got an oil change last week. after, doing so my car smelled like burning oil after driving more than 500 miles. i took it back to them to check that everything was done properly. they told me that my oil pan is rusted out and my oil stick needs to be replaced. because, the rubber on the top of the dip stick is wearing. he said that is very uncommon for this age of a vehicle. please help!!

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. while driving between 15 to 40 mph, the vehicle shuddered and failed to accelerate properly. the vehicle was taken to m'lady nissan (5656 northwest hwy, crystal lake, il 60014, (815) 459-2288) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was called and they agreed to cover half of the repair cost. the repair had not been completed. the contact stated there was a class action lawsuit that caused the manufacturer to extend the warranty from 60,000 to 84,000 miles. the failure mileage was 95,000.

My vehicle began to make a knocking noise in the rear when turning. i took the car in to be assessed and was sold a new set of rear shock-absorbers. it was immediately evident that the problem was not resolved, so i took the vehicle back to the dealer service department. they found that the rear differential was failing and shards of metal had broken off. the vehicle was repaired under warranty. the failure occurred at about 50000 miles.

Twice on this date i was completly stoped first time at a red traffic signal after the light turned green i began to accelerate and my vehicle shuttered for a few seconds and did not increase speed'second time after refueling vehicle restarted engine selected drive on transmission tapped gas and vehicle shuttered without increase in speed. both ocacions road surface was dry and vehicle was in drive 2 wheel drive

My pathfinder has a known defect. nissan has released technical bulletin classification ra09-004c with reference number ntb10-029c from november 16, 2015. there is a vibration or judder feeling from the rear drive train. the action required is the replacement of the electric controlled coupling. there needs to be a recall issued by the nhtsa. i am very concerned for the safety of my young children. there is a vibration or judder feeling from the rear when making turns, on dry roads, at low speeds (under 40 mph). the repair is expected to be between 3800 to 5000 dollars. the nissan dealer said there are issues with the rear differential and drive shaft, the cvt trans axel, and removal of the valve assembly.

My transmission jerks everytime i take off. for 47,000 miles. this should not be happening.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. while driving 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was towed to a local dealer (don williamson nissan, 310 western blvd, jacksonville, nc 28546), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified and opened case number: 30054913. the failure mileage was 47,000.

Nissan issued a "campaign" due to a class action lawsuit settlement where the cvt transmission was malfunctioned which cause shuddering in the vehicle. the vehicle would shake while driving at 20mph. after bringing the issue to the attention of the dealership they could not determine what was wrong with the vehicle. on 2/28/17 the vehicle completely immobilized on the interstate in the middle of traffic nearly causing a tragic accident involving both myself and my children. nissan failed to send correspondence advising of the ctv update which caused the issue to go unresolved and ultimately causing the fail of the transmission. this issue should be rectified with models containing the ctv transmission. nissan has just advised the total cost of repairs would cost me a total $4,800.00 for their negligence of sending the proper correspondence regarding the campaign. they should buy back this car and all others like it as this can cause tragic accidents.

Cvt changes neutral from driving positions contacted the dealer and nissan consumers agency they tolls me they can not do anything

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. while driving at a low speed, the vehicle stalled while the accelerator pedal was depressed. while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle downshifted roughly. also, the vehicle shook violently while accelerating. there were no warning indicators illuminated. when the contact purchased the vehicle from an independent mechanic, she was unaware that it was included in an unknown recall. the contact called toyota of fort worth (9001 camp bowie w blvd, fort worth, tx 76116, 855-934-7369) regarding an unknown recall notice she received for her seat belts. while speaking with a representative, the contact was informed of an unknown recall for the transmission. the vehicle was taken to be serviced for the recall; however, the failure continued. the manufacturer was notified of the failures, but did not assist because no codes appeared when a diagnostic test was performed. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 60,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. while driving various speeds, there was a knocking noise coming from the transmission. the vehicle was taken to brown dallas nissan (45155 towlern pl, sterling, va 20166) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

The problem started a few months after i purchased my car. i have taken my vehicle to the dealership to investigate and fix many times. i have been sent home several times stating that they cannot recreate the problem. my car jumps when i am trying to accelerate normally from a low speed. 2 months ago, i was on a main road at a 4-way light intersection when it caused me to studder in the middle of the intersection where i almost caused an accident. i feel as thought the dealership is purposefully trying not to admit that there is a problem or they are trying to wait until my car is no longer covered under warranty. today i was pulling into my garage when the car studdered and then jumped again which caused me to hit my trash cans and now i have a dent in the front side of my car.

The transmission in my 2014 pathfinder has been a problem since i purchased it. i have dealt with replacing computer components in the transmission, fixing faulty braking systems that cause the car to shutdown, and a transmission that was finally replace only to fail roughly 4 weeks later! the government should stop allowing nissan to sell any car with a cvt transmission to consumers. they are unsafe and will cause a fatality wreck due to malfunctions. nissan refuses to replace or repurchase my vehicle even though this has been an ongoing ordeal as far back as 2015. most recently my car transmission does not change gears properly. when i slow down and try to accelerate the car will either shudder and fail to go past 20mph. additionally i have experienced the transmission violently jerk while driving on the highway. i had to reduce my speed due to traffic, and when i tried to accelerate the car began to make a jerking motion where the speedometer jumped to 60mph and immediately feel to 20mph. the car went through this cycle for almost one minute.

I experienced the following with my transmission on separate occasions; car jumping into low gear and significantly high rpms driving uphill, car jumping into low gear and significantly high rpms driving downhill, and gears 'slipping'. i received a recall notice from the nhtsa in 2017 for my vehicle's transmission. i took my car into the dealership and detailed what i believe to have been transmission issues and as i have experienced them. i was told the dealership repaired the issue, they offered an extended warranty through january 1, 2021 or until my car reached 84k miles. i thought the issues was addressed and went on with life. even when i experienced similar issues i doubted it was transmission related as i was assured the issue was addressed by the dealership. i started to think it was brakes related, a frozen caliper or something. it wasn't until recent when i was driving down a steep hill when my car suddenly 'jumped' into a low gear and i had to shift into neutral in order to get down the hill did i realize this issue was in fact transmission related. i took my car into the same dealership and explained the issue. the dealership performed the diagnostics and determined there is a transmission issue and that i needed to replace my transmission. my car is at 92k miles at this point and outside of the extended warranty. nissan states they will only cover 70% of the repair costs. i urged them to consider the fact that i had previously voiced concerns which are captured in their records and that the dealership was only able to now duplicate the issue i had previously voiced in 2017 when my car was within the extended warranty period. nissan states because the dealership was not able to duplicate the issue then, they will not honor 100% of the repair costs and are offering the 70% out of goodwill. i believe i and others may be treated unfairly by this car company.

Vehicle has a defective cvt transmission. vehicle shakes or jerks upon changing gears, during acceleration or slowing down. vehicle is also slow to accelerate upon take off, putting me at risk for other car to crash into me. vehicle max speed is 50mph. mechanic states cvt is faulty.

From time to time, my 2014 nissan pathfinder will not accelerate on full throttle while driving. i noticed this for the first time when the mileage was around 22k, and now around 34k, it is happening more frequently. i took it to the dealership a week ago to address this issue. they changed a brake relay and did some recall-related software updates. since then, it is happening more frequently. i almost got hit by another car in the interstate ramp as i could not accelerate. i looked up online and found that this was the major issue among the 2013-2014 pathfinders and they have recalled close to the million vehicles for this. however, according to the manufacturer's tag on my car, this batch was built after the recall date (august 2014). it looks like nissan probably have not yet found the real solution for this issue, or, their cvt transmission design is fundamentally flawed. whatever might the reason be, nhtsa should investigate and put more pressure on them to fix it. this is definitely a safety issue...please investigate!!!

Bought 2014 nissan pathfinder new. about 2 weeks ago car began shaking upon acceleration both in drive and reverse. on 1/21/2017 car became stuck in 1st gear and upon stopping at a red light, car did not move at all. car was towed to dealership and today was diagnosed with needing a completely new transmission.

My vehicle shifts into od on its own. the dealership has done a soft reassembly an replaced the guts of the transmission and the issue is still occuring. this vehicle also previously needed to be towed due to it not accelerating after reaching 60mph on a major highway. it slowed down on its own and would not accelerate pass 20 mph

Cvt transmission problems since the vehicle purchased as new on 05/08/2014. reported to nissan dealer at regular service the transmission is jerking and bucking in early january 2017. since then vehicle at dealer service many times once for almost 4 weeks at a streach. multiple software and program/updates with no resolution of problem. nissan consumer affairs not responding to calls or messages left. 8/08/17 transmission rebuilt with no correction of problem. 9/11/2017 transmission replaced with no results. as of 10/31/17 pathfinder at dealer. as per shop manager judder/jutter still present and they are waiting for nissan response. the transmission jerks and jumps shaking whole vehicle. nissan service unable to fix after mutiple attempts over a span of 11 months. i beleive this could be a safety issue to all in the vehicle and around if transmission fails, since this vehicle is equipped to carry 7 passengers. nissan consumer affairs and the sales department are ignoring messages. the problem happens regularly when vehicle travelling in urban roads under 40 mph speed. this vehicle purchased as new. serviced only by nissan dealer where it was brought from.

I purchased my nissan new in 2014 and now with 120000 i am told my vehicle needs a 3rd transmission. nissan knows there is an issue with the 13-15 cvt's for the pathfinder as they have redesigned the transmission to correct the problem and have issued two recalls on the software for the cvt. i requested assistance then they are not willing to do what is right and replace it at their expense. all recommended service has been done at nissan dealerships. the original jutter issue was extreme, but i was told today that the new jutter issue is compressed and not as noticeable, but i was not informed until after it was out of warranty that is would not feel the same. i was informed that the jutter code is back and that was i was feeling is in fact the same issue.

Cvt transmission has been shaking since the first moth of purchase. the vehicle had less than 1,000 miles on the car. the dealer has said several times there was no issue with the car and said they could not replicate the issue despite my concerns. every single time i was told there was no problems with my brand new car. i have taken the car in at least 4 or 5 times. the car will shake so hard it's almost like the car is skipping between 20-40 mph and you have to clutch the steering to maintain control or disengage the gas pedal. this happens while driving or turning and at any time the car shifts between gears at low rates of speed. this has been a recurring problem since i have owned the vehicle. this is unsafe when driving on the highway and needing to pick up speed or making a turn onto oncoming traffic. nissan if fully aware of the transmission issues and concerns of consumers in regards to this issue. please investigate this issue. hold nissan accountable, recall this transmission, and help prevent nissan from selling faulty cars. *tr

The vehicle started shuddering and shaking while driving and when i accelerated would hesitate and after a few seconds would move a little slow with continual shaking and shuddering. once stopped and parked i tried to the vehicle back on the check engine light would come on with the battery and wouldn't start. the vehicle was towed to nissan where they said it was the induction air flow , ecm, and cost $400. after leaving nissan i had to take it back the next week for the same issue. the service manager drove it and said that he thought it was the transmission and that the 2014 are known to have problems. he said to bring it back in the next couple of weeks. i took it back again after being stranded 3 times, almost hit several times and once by a semi- truck when it shuddered and would not accelerate. nissan confirmed that it needed a new transmission because it was defective. they want me to pay $4000 because it has 80,000 miles on it. i filed a consumer complaint with american nissan corp and they told me that there was nothing they could do because it was out of warranty. the vehicle was bought brand new. nissan knew that the cvt was defective when they sold it. they sent out a service letter to their dealerships about the issue in september 2013. this is very dangerous and is going to cost someone their life. nissan should backup their vehicles. a two year old vehicle should not need the transmission replaced. especially a $40,000 vehicle. this is extremely dangerous, and theft by deception.

Transmission cvt issue.. while driving at low miles 5-30 mph.. car will shake shudder . jutter shutter almost like a washing machine shaking. i did some research and it looks like i am not the only one having this issue... i checked my car for recall of issue and found out that it is not listed!!! how can i get this problem fixed ? it makes me feel very unsafe .. i bought this car because of the size and since my wife is pregnant and having a child.. we are afraid to drive the car now since it has this issue with the transmission. *tr

Brakes are prematurely worn and makes noise. at times the vehicle shudders unexpectedly which leads to pulling off the road to inspect the vehicle.

Cvt transmission shudders and shakes the whole car when driving at low speeds. very dangerous to drive when suv suddenly shakes so violently due to manufacturing defect from nissan. happens about once a month. nissan dealer has refused to repair anything as they were not able to replicate exact issue in a test drive. nhtsa please please investigate and get nissan to honor their warranty by fixing a dangerous and widespread issue with pathfinder's 2013-2015.

My transmission died on i 95 after only 38,000 miles. it was replaced at a nissan dealership and then a month later the brand new transmission leaked so much fluid that the goodyear mechanic that i took the car to(since the dealership wasn't open) couldn't find where the transmission was actually leaking from.
