NHTSA Complaint #10508996 — 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER

SOON AFTER PURCHASE WHEN I WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 45 AND 55 MILES PER HOUR IT WOULD FEEL AS IF THE WHEELS HAD LOCKED UP BUT THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING. THIS PROBLEM EVOLVED UNTIL IT WOULD FEEL AS IF YOU WERE TRAVELING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS, THEN IT STARTED SHUDDERING AT ANYWHERE BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR. NOW IT ACTUALLY LOSES SPEED UNTIL IT FALLS DOWN TO ABOUT 30 AND THEN IT WILL KICK BACK INTO GEAR AND I CAN SPEED UP AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. TOOK IT THE DEALER WHEN I FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS A YEAR AGO AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. TOOK IT BACK TODAY AND NOW THEY SAY IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED FROM THE BEGINNING. LEMON LAW SHOULD APPLY. *TR
