2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Engine Problems

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...

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...

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...

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...
