NHTSA Complaint #10565049 — 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER

SINCE 10/12/13, THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHUDDERING AND LOSS OF POWER. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT IT IS ALWAYS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. WE CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT GETS WORSE. FINALLY AFTER IT BECOMES ALMOST UNABLE TO DRIVE NISSAN ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND REPLACES THE CVT. WE ARE NOW ON OUR THIRD CVT SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR ON 7/22/13. WE HAVE TO TRAVEL A TWO LANE MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY AND IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND DUE TO LOSING POWER GOING UPHILL WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND THE CAR BEHIND US SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING US. IT HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS FROM 30 TO 60 MPH. I AM GRAVELY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY, WE ALSO HAVE A NEWBORN AND I AM SCARED TO HAVE HIM IN THIS CAR BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE. I HONESTLY FEEL THAT IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE ARE HIT DUE TO THESE ISSUES. NISSAN CONTINUES TO DENY THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
