My 2013 Pathfinder keeps shuddering and jerking and swerving while driving

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and it was determined that the vehicle needed an oil change, and that the check engine warning light would be deactivated. The oil change was performed; however, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact about the transmission judder code. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was related to TSB: 15-015A (Power Train). The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.

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....

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. MARLENE F SILVA

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. THE CONTACT RECEIVED INJURIES TO THEIR BACK, NECK, CHEST, AND LEGS. THE PASSENGER RECEIVED INJURIES TO THEIR NECK AND LEGS. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (NISSAN OF QUEENS 93-25 ROCKAWAY BLVD, OZONE PARK, NY 11417; (718) 835-8300) AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. 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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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. CASE 1:14-CV-24728 -UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA MIAMI DIVISION

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.

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.

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...

SEAL ON TRANSMISSION LEAK AND CAN NOT GET OUT OF PARK

IN PARK, MY GEAR SHIFT WILL NOT ENGAGE SO I CANNOT GET OUT OF PARK. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. IN THE BEGINNING IT WOULD HAPPEN MAYBE ONE OR TWICE A WEEK. NOW ITS ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME I GET IN MY VEHICLE. IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 15 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN GET IT OUT OF PARK AND IN GEAR

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.

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

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.

HI,I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL 16V-244 SO WHEN I WENT TO NIISSAN ANCIRA SAN ANTONIO TEXAS WITH SAFETY RECALL NOTICE SO THEY SAID WE WILL CCALL YOU BACK BUT 45DAYS STILL NO CONTACT OR CALL FROM DEALER,ALSO I DEFINE SOME DETALS,WHEN I BOUGHT NISSAN PATHFINDER 2013 IN JANUARY 2016 SO SELLER(LEIF JOHNSON SUPERSTORE)TO ME DEFECTED VEHICLE &IN APRIL 2016 VEHICLE SUDDENLY DEAD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED WHICH WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

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.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO MOVE OUT OF PARK AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAITED FIVE MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES AND BATTERY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE REAR DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

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...

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.

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...

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...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, SMOKE STARTED TO EMIT FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

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. THE DEALERSHIP HAS...
