In September 2020 there was a recall on the CVT transmission for several cars. I was not notified whatsoever, so consequently I had to pay for a replacement at my local dealership in February 2021. I was told that I was receiving a new transmission. In December 2023, I was informed that I would need a whole replacement. I went back to my local dealership and they informed me that they would be willing to fix it with a replacement from the factory if I did the labor. They stated I would have to do a claim with NISSAN USA for the replacement. I called and was informed that I did not qualify because of the mileage and warranty period. I went back to the dealership and explained the issue, they said they could do nothing also. I HAVE DOCUMENTS WITH ALL THE DETAILS I WOULD LIKE TO SEND IN. The link to upload was not working for some reason. I tried several times.

Vehicle started to overheat. Informed by mechanic that one of the 2 electric fans that pull air thru the radiator had gone bad. This also caused the A/C compressor to shut off causing the interior of the vehicle to reach over 100 degrees in less than 15 minutes while driving thru town on a 95+ degree day with the windows rolled down.

I was driving my vehicle and someone notice fluid leaking from the trans cooler area. After all the fluid leaked out without warning on the dash. The vehicle was not driveable and had to get it towed home. After further inspection I noticed one of the oil cooler lines ruptured and bust resulting in the CVT trans fluid leaking out. There was not warning and this could have been dangerous if driving and lost power. There was again not CVT warning light!.. Nissan has a faulty CVT cooling lines

Known CVT Judder on my vehicle and service bulletin. They will not assist payment any repairs for an unsafe vehicle due to mileage. They have had many recalls but refuse to recall this vehicle and continue to market and sell without notifying consumers of known faulty transmission that does not create a check engine lite and effects driving. I have not been in an accident but those could cause an accident and is very unsafe.

Severe jumping, shaking, shuddering when accelerating after a stop - between 10 - 25 mph. Now it's in the shop, will not drive due to transmission issue.

Shifter will not move from park. I have to use the hidden bypass push button just above park indicator to move vehicle in & out of gear. I bought this vehicle with about 141,000 miles. I noticed the under carriage was wet at time i bought it on september 16th 2021. Very slow leak. Had mechanic test transmission fluid temp and add Nissan cvt fluid. Didnt need much. Both rear interior doors have boken handles. Cables broke free of internal handle. Transmission starting to hesitate or lose power on mostly heavy acceleration. Acceleration pause for moment. Sometimes a few times within 5-7 seconds when attempt to excelerate at full throttle when heavy acceleration. Getting worse. Happening at slower speeds. Hood shakes on highway. Needs reinforced. So far caused no accidents.

I noticed a leak under my car with fresh fluid. It took me months to figure out where it was coming from. I removed the undercover where the bumper is and saw the leaking coming from the transmission oil cooler hose at the elbow connection. I looked online and noticed this exact recall: 2013 PATHFINDER; CVT FLUID LEAK AT COOLER HOSE For some odd reason my VIN was not listed under the recall. Looks like I have to fix Nissan’s issue out of my own pocket

I was driving down the road and the car wouldn’t shift into second gear. The speed limit was 35 mph and my car would only go 20 mph. I couldn’t drive home safely, no warning lights came on or anything. Dealership said my CVT transmission needs to be replaced. This sudden drop in speed became a hazard for me and my passenger.

Electric fan stopped working properly causing the vehicle to overheat.

I HAVE TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2 TIME . THE FIRST NISSAN SEND ME RECALL AN D THIS ONE I HAVE TO PAY FOR MY SELF, VERY BAD TRANSMISSION. I KNOW PEOPLE SUFFER FOR THIS SITUATION, IN THE 2019 MY CAR STARTED WITH SMALL SIGNAL, BUT IN 03/ 01/2021 I HAVES THE DIAGNOSTIC FOR THE PROBLEM THAN YOU SO MUCH FOR PAY ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

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 LEFT OFF THE CLUTCH TOO SOON. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING AND STARTED INCONSISTENTLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH DOWNHILL WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL DOWNHILL INCREASING IN SPEED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL HOWEVER IT FAILED TO STOP. THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER A NEARBY HILL AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED.

THEN ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER, WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN THEY ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV UP WITHOUT ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO AGGRESSIVELY SHAKE AND ALL THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT HAD TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER MENTIONED ABOVE WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED AGAIN AND DURING THE MOST RECENT FAILURE THE CONTACT HAD TO PRESS THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER MENTIONED ABOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOW INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V020000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF ALL THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

Mileage: 37,000

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT RESPOND WHEN I ACCELERATE IT AND IT DOES NOT PASS THE GEAR CHANGES, WHEN IT GOES OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR AND I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR SO THAT IT INCREASES SPEED IT DOES NOT AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM CARMAX AND WAS SENT TO NISSAN FOR A RESET. NO ISSUE WAS FOUND AT THAT TIME. THE CAR IS SHUTTERING AND STALLING OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING FULL SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE/FREEWAY AS WELL AS OTHER BUSY ROADS LEAVING MYSELF AND MY CHILD STRANDED AND IN NEAR ACCIDENTS. NISSAN REFUSES TO HELP WITH THIS PART. IT SHOULD 100% BE A RECALL. INSTEAD, NISSAN ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT AND EXPIRED TWO WEEKS, JULY 31, 2020 BEFORE I CONTACTED NISSAN WITH THE WORSENING ISSUE. THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE MY CAR HAD 98,000 MILES INSTEAD OF 80,000/ I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOUR YEARS, I AM FINANCIALLY STRUGGLING BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, AND MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT NISSAN'S FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS. PLEASE HELP!!!!! THIS STARTED AGAIN TWO WEEKS INTO AUGUST WHEN I INITIALLY CONTACTED NISSAN. THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN UNDIAGNOSED TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THESE SHOULD BE REPLACED AS RECALLS OR DEEMED LEMONS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NOVEMBER OF 2016.

Mileage: 98,000

VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING, AND EVEN WITH FULL GAS PEDAL DOESN'T PICKUP SPEED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING AND PRONE TO CAUSING ACCIDENT OR DEATH RISK. THE DEALER COULDN'T TRACE THE ISSUE AFTER PERFORMING STANDARD DIAGNOSTICS. THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING VERY FREQUENTLY, WITH NO REMEDIATION OR RESOLUTION BY DEALERS. THIS SAME VEHICLE HAS BRAKELIGHT ISSUES. THE BRAKELIGHTS STAY EVEN THOUGH NO BRAKES ARE IN USE AND/OR VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATION HAS TO BE PRESSED FRUSTRATING NUMBER OF TIMES BEFORE THEY TURN-OFF. THIS ISSUE MAY POTENTIALLY CAUSE ON-ROAD ACCIDENT RISK OR DRAIN THE BATTERY. THERE IS NO ERROR MESSAGE NOR DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAYED IN TEH VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE AIR EMISSIONS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO VISIT A NISSAN DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GARDEN CITY NISSAN (316 N FRANKLIN ST, HEMPSTEAD, NY 11550, (516) 483-4400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND ENGINE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE SENSOR WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED, BUT NOT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000.

Mileage: 74,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, THE AIR CONDITIONING DID NOT WORK, AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE SHOOK WHILE DRIVING AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONING OFF AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. WHEN THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000. *TR CONSUMER STATED NO. I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE DEFECT UNTIL IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION AFTER ASKING A DEALERSHIP WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THEY ADVISED ME TO CHECK FOR RECALLS ON THE MODEL AND YEAR FOR MY VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT I COULD BE ON THE FREEWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN WHICH I HAVE ADOPTED AND SOMEONE NOT PAYING ATTENTION HITS AND KILLS US OR/ AND SOMEONE ELSE. THANKS FOR AT LEAST LISTENING. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TO HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO ABIDE WITH THE LAW AND NOW, I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. *JB

COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY, BAD BEARINGS IN FAN MOTORS. LOUD NOISE DUE TO BAD BEARINGS IN FAN. OCCURS PRIMARILY WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER CLUTCH ENGAGES AND COOLING FANS COME ON. ALSO OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN COOLING FANS COME ON. LOUD ROARING NOISE. I ORDERED A TYC623760 REPLACEMENT FAN ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE THE NISSAN/VALEO M154880 UNIT WITH MANUFACTURE DATE OF 12-15-2012 SERIAL #TOWM157978. I AM REPORTING THIS AFTER READING HOW COMMON THIS ISSUE IS IN 2013-2017 NISSAN PATHFINDERS AND THE RATES DEALERS ARE CHARGING FOR THE REPAIR. I SAW ONLINE THAT DEALERS CHARGE $850.00 TO 1250.00. MY LOCAL DEALER CHARGES $980.00 PLUS TAX. I PAID $176.00 FOR THE PART AND IT TOOK ME UNDER 90 MINUTES TO INSTALL AFTER WATCHING A YOUTUBE VIDEO. THIS WAS A REPAIR ANYONE COULD DO THAT DIDN'T MIND A LITTLE GRIME ON THEIR HANDS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT INSTEAD OF ISSUING A RECALL ON A CLEARLY FLAWED PART, THAT NISSAN IS VIEWING THIS AS A MONEY MAKER FOR THEIR DEALERSHIPS.

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND STARTED JERKING. I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO INVESTIGATE AND THE CAR HESITATED TO SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE OR REVERSE. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION AND HAVE COME TO KNOW THE FOLLOWING: THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT CREATES AN UNREASONABLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND CREATES THE RISK OF A CRASH; IT IS INEVITABLE THAT AN INDIVIDUAL WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO A COLLISION CAUSED BY THIS SAFETY DEFECT. NISSAN'S CVTS EXPERIENCE SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED SHAKING AND VIOLENT JERKING (COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS 'JUDDERING' OR 'SHUDDERING') THE VEHICLES HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.

WHILE IN MOTION, VEHICLE GAS PEDAL CEASED ACCELERATING. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, COULD NO LONGER MOVE THE CAR FORWARD OR BACKWARD. CAR WAS COMPLETELY IMMOBILE AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO NEAREST MECHANIC. MECHANIC INDICATED THE TRANSMISSION HOSE WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM ALONG WITH A FAULTY A/C COMPRESSOR. SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V142000 CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID THEY REFUSE TO HONOR IT BECAUSE MY VIN SHOWS IT WAS MANUFACTURED AT A DIFFERENT PLANT THAN THE ONE SHOWN EXPERIENCING ISSUES.

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION IS NOT FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING.

Mileage: 96,000

65 MPH, VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE BUT RPMS WENT UP TO 7000 VEHICLE SHUDDERED FOR 25 SECONDS. NEXT DAY WHILE MAKIG A LEFT TURN AT 10 MPH THRU AN INTERSECTION FROM A STOP LIGHT, SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED. GOT TO SIDE OF ROAD, CAR REFUSED TO GO FORWARD. WORKS IN REVERSE BUT NOT FORWARD. TOWED TO SHOP WHERE NEW TRANSMISSION WAS FOUND TO BE THE ONLY FIX. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 112K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR ASSEMBLY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,212.

Mileage: 57,212

VEHICLE RADIATOR COOLING FAN IS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION I'VE CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS A BAD BUSHING/BEARING IN 1 OF THE 2 FANS OF THE DUAL RADIATOR (DRIVERS SIDE). THE NOISE IS DUE TO THE FAN WOBBLING WHILE RUNNING UP TO 1/4 INCH OR SO. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WHICH TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. I HAVE PRICED ONE AT A PARTS STORE AND WAS QUOTED ~$800. THIS ISSUE IF LEFT UNCHECKED NOT ONLY IS VERY NOISY, BUT COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE AS THIS IS WHAT COOLS THE FLUID THAT COOLS THE ENGINE. I HAVE ALSO FOUND COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME SPECIFIC ISSUE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE MODELS. THIS IS OCCURRING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN PARK IDLING AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

NISSAN PATHFINDER 2013 REVS ENGINE AND JERKS VEHICLE WHILE FIRMLY PRESSING BRAKE (AT A STOP LIGHT). AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE WIND, BUT IT KEPT HAPPENING FOR WEEKS. THEN I NOTICED THE RPMS JUMP WHEN IT HAPPENED. FURTHERMORE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOWLY ROLL FORWARD IF STOPPED ON A HILL, REQUIRING PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. JUST YESTERDAY, IT REVVED AND JERKED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS THE LATEST RECALLS DONE AS OF APRIL/MAY WHEN I TOOK IN IN FOR SERVICE (ROSEN NISSAN) AND THEY VERIFIED THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS OK. VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE REVVING AND TRYING TO TURN TIRES WHILE IT IS STOPPED.

Mileage: 55,000

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT STALLS WHEN PRESSING THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. WHEN AT A STOP OR TURNING WHEN SWITCHING FROM BRAKING TO ACCELERATING YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WILL NOT ASSIST AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPLICATE. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

Mileage: 10

HAPPENED A FEW TIMES (ONE TOO MANY) ON THE ROAD, MY CAR STALLS (GAS PEDAL DOES NOT WORK). ALSO, BACK LIGHTS ARE LIT AFTER CAR IS SHUT DOWN. HAD TO TURN ENGINE ON AND OFF TILL IT SHUTS OFF.

WAS SMOKING WHITE AND SHAKING NOW IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. BURNED OIL FAST

WHILE DRIVING THE RPM AND SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO PAST 1500 THUS CAUSING VERY SLOW ACCELERATION. ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO TURN INTO ANY STREET WHERE YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE FASTER. TRYING TO DE PRESS AND RE PRESS THE GADS PEDAL DOES NOTHING. OUR NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS SAID THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY IS TO BLAME.

NISSAN-USA HAS KNOWN ABOUT A CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICHLE. WE PURCHASED IT USED IN FEBRUARY 2016. LECKNER HAD THE VEHICLE IN STOCK WHEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE AND DID NOTHING TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THEY SOLD US THE VEHICLE WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE INFORMATION. NISSAN NOW DOES NOT WANT TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS, THOUGH THE CAR ID DEEMED DANGEROUS AS THE ENGINE MAKES SUDDEN JERKING AND SHUDDERING WHEN ACCELERATIONS. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST TWO CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS WHERE NISSAN HAS AGREED TO FIX THE ISSUE OR CHANGE A NEW ENGINE. WHEN CALLING AND DEALING WITH LECKNER AND NISSAN THEY KEEP SAYING THE ISSUE IS CLOSED AND WON'T DO ANYTHING.

Mileage: 49,000

CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2013. IN LATE 2014 WITH LESS THAN $40K, CAR BEGAN "SHUDDERING". MOSTLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN ACCELERATING. DEALER COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. DRIVING BACK FROM VACATION IN LATE 2014, ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR LOST POWER AND WE LIMPED OFF THE EXIT AFTER WHICH THE CAR WAS UNDRIVEABLE. NISSAN INDICATED IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. LOOKING BACK AT THE SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY, GIVEN THE LOSS OF POWER, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LETHAL SITUATION. FAST FORWARD TO OCT 2016 AND AT 88K, THE SAME ISSUE IS RE-OCCURRING AND THE DEALER INDICATED TODAY, TRANSMISSION WILL (AGAIN) NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I'VE PURCHASED THIS CAR 18 MONTHS AGO, AND JUST STARTED EXPERIENCING LOSS OF POWER AND JOLTING. IT'S LOSES POWER AND WON'T GO. IT JUST PUTS PUTS PUTS FOOT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE. THE NEXT DAY IT STARTS UP I DRIVE IT TO NISSAN THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I PAYED 30,000 FOR THIS CAR AND 18 MONTHS LATER I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR THAT I STILL OWE 21,000 ON THE CAR. SO IT'S SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY.

A FEW THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FEB 2013 AND THE ISSUES STARED RIGHT AWAY. THE ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IS THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL ALL OF THE SUDDEN. I WILL PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC OR JUST TURNING PERIOD, IT DOES THE SAME THING. IT IS VERY SCARY. I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CLAIMS THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM OR DID NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS I WAS DESCRIBING. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS THE VEHICLE AGES. JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN NOT ONLY WAS I EXPERIENCING THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH BUT MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T ENGAGE (I THOUGHT MAYBE THIS WOULD HELP KEEP THE CAR AT THE RIGHT SPEED) BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN ON . THEN THE ABS & VDC LIGHTS TURNED ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ON. NEXT TIME I TRIED THE CRUISE CONTROL IT WORKED. ANOTHER THING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING IS MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, NOT EVERY TIME BUT MANY TIMES AND THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES I DIDN'T CATCH IT. JUST THIS MORNING MY BATTERY WAS DEAD AND THE BATTERY IS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD. I'M THINKING THESE LIGHTS STAYED ON ALL NIGHT. BEFORE TRYING TO JUMP-START MY BATTERY, WITH THE VEHICLE OFF, THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FAR RIGHT OF THE ENGINE. WE WERE ABLE TO JUMP START MY CAR AND IT HAS BEEN WORKING FINE TODAY SO FAR BUT I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER, YET AGAIN, FOR THESE ISSUES.

MY 2013 PATHFINDER STUDDERS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING GAS. IT HAS COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH STATED THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON INCLINES AND WHEN I GOT TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN THEN GO TO ACCELERATE AGAINST IT STUDDERS REALLY BAD. IT SOMETIMES WILL NOT START DUE TO NOT RECOGNIZING THE KEY FOB.

Mileage: 38,000

VEHICLE STALLS AT VARIOUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING, WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHILE PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL. HAS NOW HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. STALLED ALSO, WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING DOWNHILL AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE UNTIL ON LEVEL SURFACE FOR 15 SECONDS, LOST 35 MPH DURING THIS INCIDENT. PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT NO ONE IS IN SEAT WHILE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. I HAVE SEVERAL PHOTOS AND DATES OF THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE LOOSES POWER, ACCELERATION, PRESSING ON GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENS, SHIFT CAR TO NEUTRAL AND PRESS ON GAS AND RPM"S GO UP, SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE, PRESS ON GAS AND RPM'S DON'T MOVE, VEHICLE DOES NOT GO. ALL THE TIMES THAT IT HAS HAPPENED WE HAD TO COAST EITHER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, OR TO NEXT LIGHT. THIS IS A REAR END COLLISION WAITING TO HAPPEN, THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!!! TOOK CAR TO NISSAN DEALER, BUT SINCE CAR DID NOT DETECT ANY ERROR CODES, DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO FIND FIX, BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH CAR, HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM WENT UNTO THIS SITE AND FOUND MORE THAN 100 COMPLAINT SIMILAR TO MINE, ABOUT CAR LOOSING POWER. SOMEBODY HAS TO LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIES. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I HAVE A 3YR OLD AND A 2YR OLD THAT SHE DRIVES AROUND, PLEASE, SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

MY PATHFINDER HAS ALREADY HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED ONCE AND IS STILL HAVING ISSUES. SINCE THIS PAST THURSDAY, IT HAS BEEN HESITATING OR FEELING LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL WHEN IT IS IN DRIVE. I TOOK NOTE OF THE LATEST ONE TODAY. I WAS STOPPED (ON A MAJOR STREET) WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO PASS. IT DID, AND I ACCELERATED TO TURN LEFT AND THE CAR FELT LIKE I HAD PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. IT WAS SLOWLY ROLLING BUT NOT ACCELERATING AS I CROSSED OVER THE ON-COMING LANE AND CONTINUED WITH MY LEFT TURN. I CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS IN DRIVE (IT WAS) AND CHECKED THE SPEED (20MPH) BECAUSE I HAD BROUGHT IT IN LAST WEEK WHEN IT DID IT THE FIRST THREE TIMES, AND THEY ASKED ME WHAT SPEED I WAS GOING WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE TIME PRIOR TO THAT I WAS CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY (INFRONT OF A LARGE TRUCK) AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE, I GOT THE SAME FEELING. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! THE TIME PRIOR TO THAT, I HAD BEEN AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, I CROSSED OVER THE FIRST SECTION OF THE RED LIGHT THEN TURNED LEFT AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT IT (AGAIN) FELT LIKE I HAD THROWN IT INTO NEUTRAL. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A SECOND TO LET OTHER CARS PASS IN CASE IT STALLED ON ME. THE FIRST TIME WAS JUST WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAS ME EXTREMELY SCARED AS IN TWO OF THE SITUATIONS, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF I COULDN'T ACCELERATE TO MOVE AND A CAR PLOWED INTO ME.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. I DROVE A FEW YARDS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 25MPH EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, BUT THE RPM'S WOULD NOT GO UP. I STOPPED AND PUT IT IN PARK, REVVED THE ENGINE, AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AGAIN. IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A MILE UNTIL I PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO GO OVER 25 MPH. (I WAS TURNING LEFT AT THE INTERSECTION, SO IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS THAT I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE AS I WAS FACING UPCOMING TRAFFIC.) I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER AND PUT IT IN PARK AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT THE ADDITIONAL MILE HOME BUT THANKFULLY DID NOT HAVE TO STOP AT A LIGHT AGAIN.

2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER SHUDDERS AT LOW SPEED OR ACCELERATING FROM STOP POSITION. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES (12) SINCE SEPT 2013.

DRIVING HOME AND GOING UP AN INCLINED HILL...I NOTICED MY VEHICLE(2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER) SUDDENLY HAD A HESITATION AND STARTED TO JUDDER ABRUPTLY...IT HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED OF 20-25MPH. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS CVT ISSUE AND HAS NOT ADDRESSED IT YET. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO REPROGRAMMING THE CVT AND SEEING IF THIS RESOLVES THE ISSUE OTHERWISE FOLKS HAVE HAD THE CVT REPLACED AND STILL IN THE SAME BOAT....THIS IS A NOTICEABLE JUDDER AT 20-25 MPH ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2003 NISSAN MURANO WITH 88K AND THE FIRST OF ITS KIND WITH CVT TECHNOLOGY AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF JUDDERING ISSUE. YOU WOULD THINK NISSAN WOULD HAVE REFINED THE CVT TO A POINT SO THESE ISSUE WOULD NOT HAPPEN....I LIKE THE CVT TECHNOLOGY BUT NOW I AM HAVING MY DOUBTS. *TR

CAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND ACCELERATE AGAIN WAS JERKING OR HESITATING TO ACCELERATE. BROUGHT TO DEALER 3TIMES ALREADY AND SAID TORQUE CONVERTER IS THE PROBLEM.FOR THE LAST 2 VISITS TO CAR DEALER THEY JUST ADJUST IT. THIS TIME THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

Mileage: 8,000

FYI...THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. MANY TIMES BEFORE THIS I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SHUDDERING THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES BUT WHEN THE CAR BEGINS TO LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY BLESSED THAT EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS IS TO RESTART THE CAR. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAVE DEALT WITH THE ISSUES AND BOTH HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY KNOW TO DO. THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED AND THE COMPUTER WAS REPLACED ALSO. WE PURCHASED THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 22000 MILES SO THE LEMON LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO US. FOR THE 7 MONTHS THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR, IT HAS BEEN AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS HALF OF THE TIME. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING THAT WE PURCHASED A "LIKE NEW" CAR AND NOW MY FAMILY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT. *TR

I FILED A COMPLAINT YESTERDAY, AUGUST 27, 2014, ABOUT MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER CONFIRMATION NUMBER 10628699, AND FORGOT TO PUT ON THERE THAT THIS VEHICLE ALSO HESITATES TO GO AT TIMES AND WHEN IT DOES, IT HAS A TUGGING FEELING (THAT IS HOW I EXPLAIN IT). LIKE IT CAN'T FIND THE GEAR OR NOT ENOUGH GAS. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THIS TO MY OTHER COMPLAINT, PLEASE. VERY AMAZED TO SEE THAT THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS I HAVE AND THEY ARE ALSO NOT BEING REPAIRED. I FEEL I AM THE ONLY ONE OR THAT IS HOW THE SERVICE DEPT.

BOUGHT MY PATHFINDER IN AUGUST 2013 I LOVE IT!!! BUT NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN MY SON (119 POUNDS) SIT'S IN THE SEAT. THIS HAPPEN OFTEN. I PULL OVER ALL THE TIME TURN OFF THE SUV AND RESTART SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT GOES OFF. NISSAN FINALLY DID A RECALL ON IT BUT IT HAS NOT GONE AWAY. ALSO IT USED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN I SET MY DIAPER BAG ON IT WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BUT NOW AFTER THE RECALL "FIX" IT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN SOMETHING LIGHT WEIGHT IS SET ON IT. IT HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN AND I AM WORRIED THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY FAIL IF WE WERE TO GET INTO A COLLISION. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIMES TO CHECK IT BUT IT ALWAYS COMES UP AS WORKING PROPERLY. PLEASE FIND A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE FOUND IS WHEN ACCELERATING THERE IS SOME KIND OF TUGGING/PULLING/LAGGING FEELING AS IF IT DOES NOT WANT TO PICK UP SPEED. IT DOES HOWEVER PICK UP SPEED BUT THE "TUGGING" FEELS AS IF THE SUV IS GOING TO STALL OUT. WHAT IT THIS??? *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT 20 TO 25 MPH BUT WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE THE BRAKE DID NOT STOPPED THE CAR AND THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT MY SELF AND MY GIRL FRIEND GOT INJURED AND WE HAD TO GO FOR CRAYAPRATOR FOR LONG TIME THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AT ALL NORTH AMERICAN NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME NOR THE ABC NISSAN WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY PATHFINDER THAT I SEE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING. THE SHUDDERING IS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND IT HAS HAPPENED IN VARIOUS SITUATIONS. IT IS NOT A SIDEWAYS SHUDDER LIKE A SHAKE, IT IS A LACK OF FORWARD MOTION (WHILE THE ENGINE REVS TO HIGHER RPMS) SO SEVERE THAT IT FEELS LIKE BEING REAR ENDED AND HAS NEARLY SLAMMED ME INTO THE STEERING WHEEL MORE THAN ONCE. I HAVE HAD TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS CHECK IT AND BOTH SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS NOT THROWING AN ERROR CODE ON THE COMPUTER. FINALLY, IT DID IT ALL THE WAY TO MY WORK ONE MORNING (30+ MILES) SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AGAIN. SAME RESULTS, EXCEPT THEY TRIED TO PASS IT OFF AS A BAD WHEEL BEARING AND REPLACED ONE OF MY WHEEL BEARINGS. THEY CALLED ME TO TELL ME IT WAS READY FOR PICK UP AND I REFUSED TO PICK IT UP UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED (I NOW HAVE 40K MILES, WARRANTY IS GETTING CLOSE TO BEING UP). I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW THIS HAS PLAYED OUT, BUT LONG STORY SHORT, THEY ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING MY COIL PACKS AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, THEN THEY ARE GOING TO TRY REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING SINCE THE FIRST 2 NISSANS I OWNED WERE GREAT VEHICLES. *TR

HELLO, WE BOUGHT THIS PATHFINDER IN MARCH 2014. I WAS DRIVING AND I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. WHEN I TURNED AND GAVE IT SOME GAS. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE PATHFINDER STARTED SPUTTERING,SHAKING AND LOOSING POWER. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON THE 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. MY RESEARCH HAS COME ACROSS THAT THE NISSAN MOTOR COMPANY KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH 2013 PATHFINDERS. AND THEY HAVE YET TO PUT OUT A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITH THE SHUDDERING, SHAKING AND LOOKING POWER. ON 5/28/2014 I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AND SLOWED DOWN AND I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION FELL OUT. I ALSO LOST POWER. IT SCARED ME. SO I BELIEVE THAT SOME ONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE I THINK NISSAN IS NOT CONCERN. *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

JUNE 4, 2013 I PURCHASED A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER PLATINUM MODEL. AROUND SEPTEMBER 2013, WHILE ASCENDING A SMALL HILL I NOTICED A SHUDDER SHAKE THAT LASTS ABOUT 4 TO 6 SECONDS. THE SITUATION HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AROUND 25 MILES PER HOUR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEEDS. IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY SO I THOUGHT IT COULD BE THE PAVEMENT HOWEVER WITHIN THE PAST YEAR IT HAS BEEN MORE FREQUENT. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SHAKING DURING SLOW TURNS AND UPON HILLS THE TRANSMISSION FEELS STUCK AND YOU FINALLY FEEL THE GEAR KICK IN AND AFTER MAKING IT UPHILL OR STOPPING VEHICLE DRIVES SMOOTH AGAIN.. IT SEEMS AS IF THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION POWER AND I HAVE TO RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP SHAKING AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. NISSAN NEEDS TO CAREFULLY INVESTIGATE AND FIX THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND ISSUE A MASS VEHICLE RECALL. *TR

Mileage: 500

ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS, THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN DEPRESSED ? THE DRIVER HAS TO RELEASE AND PRESS THE GAS PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES OR HOLD DOWN GAS PEDAL AND THEN THE ENGINE REVS HARD AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHES FORWARD. IT HAPPENS BOTH WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AS WELL AS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVING AND IN MOTION AND THE DRIVER PRESSES THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE (SUCH AS WHEN PASSING ANOTHER CAR ON THE HIGHWAY). BY EARLY APRIL 2014, THIS HAD HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES IN A FOUR-WEEK PERIOD AND SOMETIMES HAPPENED DAILY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL DEALER, WHO CONSULTED WITH A REGIONAL NISSAN WARRANTY REP. HE SAID HE HAD SEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE, AND THEY REPLACED THE THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH AND RELAY. I HAVE HAD ONE INCIDENT WHERE IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER THIS WORK WAS DONE ON APRIL 9. *TR

Mileage: 16,000

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

ABOUT 4 HOURS INTO OUR RETURN TRIP ON FRIDAY, MARCH 29, I WAS DRIVING ON I295 AROUND THE CITY OF RICHMOND, VA. WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TRAVELLING ABOUT 75 MPH WHEN OUR CAR BACKFIRED. MY WIFE AND I LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, AND NOTHING SEEMED TO HAPPEN TO THE CAR. SO WE CONTINUED DRIVING THINKING THE BACKFIRE WAS A NOISE FROM A SOURCE OTHER THAN OUR CAR. HOWEVER, WHEN I BRAKED SHORTLY THEREAFTER BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC BUILDUP THE CAR STALLED AT 40 MPH. I WAS STUNNED BUT QUICKLY RESPONDED BY RESTARTING THE CAR. FROM THAT POINT ON THE CAR REPEATEDLY STALLED EACH TIME WE BRAKED AND/OR REDUCED SPEED. *JS

PURCHASED IN AUG 2013. SEPT 2013 AT LOW SPEEDS UNDER 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUDDER AND LOOSES ACCELERATION. NISSAN DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. OCT 2013 MY VEHICLE WAS BACK IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS TIME NISSAN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. NOV 2013 BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SAME ISSUE, WAS TOLD A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS JUST RELEASED FOR A COMPUTER UPGRADE FOR THE TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. RETURNED A 4TH TIME IN DEC 2013 AND WAS TOLD I MUST HAVE BEEN SPINNING MY WHEELS IN THE SNOW, NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. IN ADDITION TO THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, THE ROOF STARTED LEAKING AND THE WATER RAN BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. A GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, SHORTLY AFTER I BEGAN TO HAVE ELECTRONIC ISSUES WITH WIPERS, VOLUME CONTROL FOR BLUETOOTH, RADIO. SOME TYPE OF MODULE WAS REPLACED THIS TOOK TWO RETURN TRIPS BEFORE A PROBLEMS WAS FOUND. AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES RETURNED. ON MONDAY 3/24 THE TRANSMISSION ONCE AGAIN FAILED AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP. WITH THIS INCIDENT I WAS ALMOST KILLED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER BECAUSE I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. LUCKILY THE TRUCK WAS ABLE TO SWERVE BEHIND ME A THE LAST MOMENT TO AVOID THE COLLISION. RESTARTING THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES CLEARED THE PROBLEM AND WAS IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP. I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED IN AUG 2013, 33 DAYS OF SERVICE SO FAR AND NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, CASE # [XXX]. NISSAN ADMITTED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THE DEALER HAS PUT ME IN A FREE LOANER CAR UNTIL THEY HAVE A RESOLUTION.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER, I NOTICED A SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS RANDOMLY HAPPENED AT LEAST 10-15 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. AFTER A STOP OR SLOW TO AROUND 10 MILES PER HOUR, THE CAR SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION. MANY TIMES IT HAPPENS DURING A TURN WITH ACCELERATION BUT IT ALSO HAS HAD THE PROBLEM DURING STRAIGHT ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEEDS.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN DECEMBER 2012, WE NOTICED THE VEHICLE SHAKING WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. THIS OCCURRED IN BOTH THE 2WD AND THE 4WD/VARIABLE TRANSMISSION SETTINGS. THE RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED SAID THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) CHAIN MIGHT SLIP AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO "JUDDER", WHICH IT DID MANY TIMES. THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE THE ENGINE WILL DIE WHEN STOPPING OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, CAUSING HESITATION THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER THE RECOMMENDED "REPROGRAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM)" BY THE DEALER, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND NOW ONE YEAR AND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER LATER WE WERE ADVISED TO "OPEN A FILE" WITH NISSAN TO DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM, THOUGH NO ONE HAS SAID IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED. ALONG WITH THIS COMPLAINT, WE ARE ALSO CONTACTING THE NATIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT OF NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THE "SLIPPING" OCCURS DAILY AND ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE, THIS MIGHT RESULT "IN FUTURE DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION". *TR

Mileage: 500

VEHICLE JUDDERING WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED, IT FEELS LIKE IT GOING TO STALL. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN'T RECREATE. THEY CALLED IN TO MOSSY NISSAN IN NATIONAL CITY, CA TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE FOREMAN OF THE SHOP, AND THE PROBLEM RECURRED, HE FELT IT, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE COMPUTER HOOK UP TO THE CAR DIAGNOSTICS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN FOR THE SAME THING, I LEFT THE CAR THERE FOR 2 DAYS AND HEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. ALSO IT HAS A COOLANT LEAK THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AFTER 3 TIMES.

WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, THEY TEST DROVE IT AND SAID THEY NEVER EXPERIENCE THE JUTTERING. THEREFORE, THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NOW IT'S DECEMBER AND I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR SOMETHING ELSE REGARDING THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SOFTWARE.

1. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE A SCHOOL PARKING LOT (GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE WITH OTHER PARENTS' CARS) AT 10 MPH THE ENGINE SHUDDERED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED BACK AND FORTH AS IF IT TRANSMISSION COULDN'T ENGAGE POWER TO THE WHEELS.

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.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOPPING, OR WHEN INCREASING SPEED WHEN TURNING, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS. IT SOMETIMES VIBRATES AND ALSO FEELS LIKE I'M GOING OVER SOMETHING ROUGH. IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WHEN IT DOES THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR 3 1/2 MONTHS.. I HAVE CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT AS OF TODAY, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT AND IS GETTING WORSE. *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.

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.

LUCKILY WE DID'N GET HIT FROM THE BACK BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN WE STOP ON A RED LIGHT AND IT DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL WE TOW IT TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT BUT THAT WAS FIXED. I HAD A BAD FEELING AND TOOK IT TO PUENTE HILLS NISSAN WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. BUT THEY TOLD TO COMEBACK NEXT DAY SO ON MY WAY HOME ON THE FREEWAY IT STARTED AGAIN WE JUST HAD SECONDS TO PULL ASIDE FROM THE ROAD AND THE CAR DIDN'T MOVED AT ALL, FLUIDS DRAINED OUT AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE SMOKE WAS EVEN WORST I HAD A PANIC ATTACK BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE SO I'VE JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR "ON THE FREEWAY" WITHOUT THINKING THAT I COULD GET KILLED. THE CAR GOT TOWED TO PUENTE HILLS NISSAN AND "THEY FIXED IT". WHEN THEY WERE TESTING IT IT HAPPENED AGAIN!! THEY TOWED THE CAR BACK AND NOW AFTER A WEEK THEY SAID THAT THEY ALREADY FIXED THE PROBLEM THAT IT WAS THE RADIATOR THAT HAD TOO MUCH PRESSURE SO WAS HEATING UP AND SHOOTING THE HOSES OFF SO THEY NOW REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND TOLD ME TO GO AND PICK UP THE CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING AROUND WITH MY FAMILY THIS SITUATION CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN DEALER WON'T REPLACE THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THERE IS THE LEMON LAW THAT STATES THAT AFTER 3 REPAIRS FROM THE SAME ISSUE THE CAR HAS TO BE REPLACED AND EVEN MORE BECAUSE IT WAS A BRAND NEW CAR AND WE ONLY HAD IT FOR 6 WEEKS. AND THERE WAS ALSO 2 RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE ONE ON THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM AND OTHER ONE ON THE AIR BAGS SO NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

DETECTED INTERMITTENT HEAT FAILURE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE AREA SURROUNDING THE OCCUPANT'S FEET. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER 10 DAYS OF OWNERSHIP. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED CODE WAS "TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SWITCH." THE SERVICE TECH ERASED THE CODE WITHOUT PERFORMING SERVICE. 5 DAYS LATER DRIVER DETECTED TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. SERVICE TECH AND DRIVER TOOK A TEST DRIVE. SERVICE TECH CONFIRMED TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. WHILE DRIVING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE DRIVER PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. THIS CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER AND SERVICE TECH. IT HAPPENED TWICE MORE AND THE VEHICLE ALMOST GOT STUCK UNDER THE DOOR TRYING TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS BY DEALER: CVT FAILURE. *TR

I HAVE MY 2013 PATHFINDER FOR AROUND 2 WEEKS AND SINCE DAY 2 IT'S HAVING PROBLEMS I THINK WITH THE POWER TRAIN. IT START TO FAIL THE ACCELERATION, LIKE WHEN ON A MANUAL CAR YOU STEP OUT THE CLUTCH EARLY. I WENT TWICE TO A NISSAN DEALER TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM AND ON BOTH VISITS THEY SAID THERE'S NO PROBLEM WITH THE SUV. SO I HAVE TO WAIT TO SOMETHING MORE HAPPENS SO THEY CAN FIND A PROBLEM. I CHANGED MY 2010 PATHFINDER FOR THIS ONE... I THINK I MADE A REALLY BAD MOVE HERE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHEN MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER STARTED TO ACT STRANGE. THE RPM'S WOULD BE ERRATIC GOING FROM 3000 - 5000 IF I TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR. THEN IT WOULD STOP IF I DID NOT TOUCH THE ACCELERATOR. THEN 4000 - 6000 RPMS. IT SEEMED VERY UNSAFE AND OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I DECIDED TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ON THE EXIT RAMP WHEN I HEARD A LARGE GRINDING NOISE AND THE CAR STOPPED. THERE WAS AN AWFUL BURNING SMELL AND THE CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE IN ADDITION TO THE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT ALSO STOPPED IN A VERY UNSAFE LOCATION AND EVENTUALLY THE STATE POLICE CAME TO PUSH ME OUT OF THE WAY. CALLED MY NISSAN DEALER, THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK AND I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. LATER THAT DAY I FOUND OUT THAT THE RECOMMENDATION WAS FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS, I WAS DRIVING A $40,000 BRAND NEW SUV AND THAT WAS THE ONLY OPTION. HOW COULD A NEW TRANSMISSION HELP, IF THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN NISSAN'S PATHFINDER TRANSMISSIONS? MY NEW CAR WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD AND 5 MONTH OLD MY 2013 PATHFINDER ON 12/29 (WHICH I HAD FOR 1 MONTH)IT STARTED FEELING LIKE IT WAS MISSING GEARS AND SPUTTERING. THE RPMS STARTED TO REV UP BETWEEN 4000-5000 AND WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 45 MPH AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER, AND THE CAR WAS JERKING AS I WAS DRIVING IT. I STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF HOPING IT WAS JUST A FLUKE BUT WHEN I STARED IT WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN I WAS IN REVERSE I THEN PUT IN DRIVE AGAIN IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I EVEN PRESSED THE CRUISE TO SEE IF THAT WOULD WORK AND IT WOULDN'T WORK EITHER. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A TRANSMISSION MODULE CHIP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAITED 10 DAYS AND FINALLY THEY SAID IT WAS READY. I PICKED IT UP AND LITERALLY TURNED AROUND BECAUSE IT WAS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING EXCEPT THIS TIME AS I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE PEDAL THE VEHICLE DID NOT DECELERATE AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE AT 60MPH WITHOUT ME PRESSING THE GAS UNTIL I HIT THE BRAKE IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, THANK GOD, ALL WHILE MY BABY IS IN THE CAR WITH ME. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP WHICH DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW AND I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN EXPRESSING MY CONCERN FOR THE VEHICLES SAFETY, AND THE FACT IT IS BRAND NEW A MONTH OLD CAR AND THE ONLY THING THAT I'M BEING TOLD IS THAT THEY ARE SENDING A TECH FROM NISSAN AND THEY'RE REALLY SORRY ABOUT MY TROUBLE. SO NOW THE CAR JUST SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP GOING ON A MONTH AND NEITHER ONE I FEEL HAS BEEN REALLY CONCERNED WITH TRYING TO FIX THE VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER OR WORRIED ON THE SAFETY OF IT. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WAY THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN HAVE HANDLED THE SITUATION. SO MUCH FOR THEM BEING CONCERNED ABOUT THE WELL BEING AND SAFETY OF THEIR PASSENGERS. *TR

AFTER FUELING MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME, I HEADED OUT AND NOTICED SMOKE AROUND MY VEHICLE. A NEIGHBORING VEHICLE MOTIONED FOR ME TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW AND SAID I HAD FLUID THAT LOOKED LIKE ANTI FREEZE POURING OUT FROM BENEATH MY 2013 PATHFINDER. I TRIED TO PULL OVER BUT THE SUV WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE FORWARD AND I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN. NOT KNOWING WHY MY VEHICLE WAS SMOKING, I CONTACTED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. SOME PEOPLE STOPPED TO HELP AND PUSH THE VEHICLE FROM THE STREET. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED. A TOWING COMPANY WAS SENT OUT. I WAS TOLD THE TOWING COMPANY'S HAVE BEEN TOWING THESE BRAND NEW VEHICLES ALOT, SOME THAT WERE DRIVEN OFF THE LOT AND HAD TO BE TOWED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THIS ISSUE WAS UNDER A LAW SUIT FOR THE 2005-2010 MODEL PATHFINDERS. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE NISSAN HAS RESOLVED THE ISSUE JUST YET. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR TWO WEEK OLD 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER PLATINUM EDITION WITH MY FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DISABLED. THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THE COOLANT LINE BURST AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED FROM THE VEHICLE. AS A "PRECAUTION" THEY WILL BE REPLACING THE RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION LINE (S), AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE BEFORE RETURNING IT TO US. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR DID NOT GET AFFECTED BUY THE INCIDENT AND THAT THEY ARE REPLACING THOSE PARTS AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND LEARNED THAT A NUMBER OF OTHER 2013 PATHFINDERS HAVE SUFFERED FROM THE SAME CATASTROPHIC ISSUE. I ALSO LEARNED THAT PREVIOUS GENERATIONS OF THE PATHFINDER HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WHICH NISSAN WAS VERY SLOW TO ACKNOWLEDGE. WHEN A VEHICLE THAT IS TRAVELING AT A MODERATE TO HIGH RATE OF SPEED LOOSES TRANSMISSION THE DRIVER BECOMES AT RISK FOR A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN AND IN OUR CASE MY WIFE WAS SAVED BY A AAA EMPLOYEE WHO WAS KIND ENOUGH TO PUSH HER CAR OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO DRIVES THIS VEHICLE PLEASE TELL THEM TO TAKE IT TO THEIR NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY. I AM CONVINCED THIS IS GOING TO REQUIRE A RECALL. OUR CAR HAD 450 MILE ON IT FOR GODS SAKE. *TR
