I was driving the car today and the car starting jerking almost like stalling on the highway. This usually happens all the time on and off and happens during slower speeds or when I am making turns but yesterday it happened on the highway at high speeds and the car started juddering. When I first bought the car I took the car to Nissan to check this out and they said nothing was wrong but now I took the car again to Nissan and hopefully they will fix this transmission issue.

I have taken my Pathfinder to the shop on several occasions to have the transmission fixed. It shutters at slow speeds. My husband was told that Nissan's do that and nothing is wrong. We had the cvt sensor replaced and it stopped for a while. Well now it shutters at low speeds while turning a corner, in slow moving traffic, high speeds going down the interstate and sometimes when you press on the gas pedal after being stopped at a light it will act like the transmission is not engaging and then all of a sudden it will engage and make the car leap forward and it will shake. We purchased the vehicle from vic bailey Ford in August 2015, was told that it still had the manufacturer warranty left on it and benson Nissan in spartanburg would not honor the warranty because we didn't purchase the vehicle from them. This transmission problem has been an on going problem since we purchased the vehicle.

I purchased the 2014 Pathfinder March 2018 with 27K miles. Oct. 2018 during starting of the vehicle I noticed excessive amount of smoke coming from the tail pipe. My mechanic checked the truck and informed me oil was leaking from the engine into the cylinders. I contacted Nissan Corp and was informed to take it to a local Nissan dealer. The dealer found the transmission was going bad, wheel barren. They returned the vehicle back to me after a week. The next day, the truck was smoking again everytime I would start the ignition. Tried to trade the truck for another make. I can't too much equity. I only had the truck for 8 months. Dec. 5th 2018, check engine light is on and low oil pressure light is on. Excessive smoke still comes from the tail pipe when the truck is started. Returned truck back to Nissan dealer for repair.

When starting to take off (going anywhere from 5-20 mph) my car shakes like it's going to stall out, the engine or transmission does not allow the car to property speedup when accelerating. I feel extremely uncomfortable and not safe. But, I don't have another vehicle to drive. I've notice other people are having this issue too, mileage on my Pathfinder is only 49,000. It's very stressful yielding on to highways and proceeding from a traffic light I was stopped at. Also, I would like to mention that I got an oil change last week. After, doing so my car smelled like burning oil after driving more than 500 miles. I took it back to them to check that everything was done properly. They told me that my oil pan is rusted out and my oil stick needs to be replaced. Because, the rubber on the top of the dip stick is wearing. He said that is very uncommon for this age of a vehicle. Please help!!

I experienced the following with my transmission on separate occasions; car jumping into low gear and significantly high rpms driving uphill, car jumping into low gear and significantly high rpms driving downhill, and gears 'slipping'. I received a recall notice from the NHTSA in 2017 for my vehicle's transmission. I took my car into the dealership and detailed what I believe to have been transmission issues and as I have experienced them. I was told the dealership repaired the issue, they offered an extended warranty through January 1, 2021 or until my car reached 84K miles. I thought the issues was addressed and went on with life. Even when I experienced similar issues I doubted it was transmission related as I was assured the issue was addressed by the dealership. I started to think it was brakes related, a frozen caliper or something. It wasn't until recent when I was driving down a steep hill when my car suddenly 'jumped' into a low gear and I had to shift into neutral in order to get down the hill did I realize this issue was in fact transmission related. I took my car into the same dealership and explained the issue. The dealership performed the diagnostics and determined there is a transmission issue and that I needed to replace my transmission. My car is at 92K miles at this point and outside of the extended warranty. Nissan states they will only cover 70% of the repair costs. I urged them to consider the fact that I had previously voiced concerns which are captured in their records and that the dealership was only able to now duplicate the issue I had previously voiced in 2017 when my car was within the extended warranty period. Nissan states because the dealership was not able to duplicate the issue then, they will not honor 100% of the repair costs and are offering the 70% out of goodwill. I believe I and others may be treated unfairly by this car company.

My Pathfinder has a known defect. Nissan has released technical bulletin classification RA09-004C with reference number ntb10-029C from November 16, 2015. There is a vibration or judder feeling from the rear drive train. The action required is the replacement of the electric controlled coupling. There needs to be a recall issued by the NHTSA. I am very concerned for the safety of my young children. There is a vibration or judder feeling from the rear when making turns, on dry roads, at low speeds (under 40 mph). The repair is expected to be between 3800 to 5000 dollars. The Nissan dealer said there are issues with the rear differential and drive shaft, the cvt trans axel, and removal of the valve assembly.

Nissan issued a "campaign" due to a class action lawsuit settlement where the cvt transmission was malfunctioned which cause shuddering in the vehicle. The vehicle would shake while driving at 20mph. After bringing the issue to the attention of the dealership they could not determine what was wrong with the vehicle. On 2/28/17 the vehicle completely immobilized on the interstate in the middle of traffic nearly causing a tragic accident involving both myself and my children. Nissan failed to send correspondence advising of the ctv update which caused the issue to go unresolved and ultimately causing the fail of the transmission. This issue should be rectified with models containing the ctv transmission. Nissan has just advised the total cost of repairs would cost me a total $4,800 for their negligence of sending the proper correspondence regarding the campaign. They should buy back this car and all others like it as this can cause tragic accidents.

I purchased my Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan rogue new in 2014. Almost all recommended service has been done at banister Nissan of chesapeake, 930 N battlefield blvd, chesapeake, va 23320 dealership. At approximately 30,000 miles the Pathfinder began to shake violently during acceleration between 15mph and 30mph. Also, the transmission slips and hesitates on both vehicles. Details of this problem have been shared repeatedly with dealership advisors at the time of service. At first technicians claimed not have noticed any trembling / issues during test drives with the Pathfinder. Then each time I brought it in for the shudder, the dealer would blame it on other issues. I have replaced the tires, brakes, and rotors several times at the advice of the dealer. None of that fixed the shudder. Nissan had a recall for a defective valve body in the transmission. The valve body was replaced on both vehicles; however, the failure was not corrected. Banister Nissan of chesapeake did not informed me until after the Pathfinder was out of warranty that transmission was causing the problems and will need to be replaced. I requested assistance from the Nissan manufacturer as advised by the dealership since I have complained about the problems for so long. The manufacturer was notified. Nissan agreed to pay for repair costs for the vehicle. Banister Nissan of chesapeake now tells me they will need to do another diagnostic test but refuse to cover any cost associated. The advisors stated that diagnostic could coast anywhere from $200 - $800. My husband and I are experiencing most of the same issues with the 2014 Nissan rogue purchased new at the same dealership.

At low speed, when you accelerate, the vehicle "shudders." It shakes and then as you speed up it normalizes.

Cvt transmission problems since the vehicle purchased as new on 05/08/2014. Reported to Nissan dealer at regular service the transmission is jerking and bucking in early January 2017. Since then vehicle at dealer service many times once for almost 4 weeks at a streach. Multiple software and program/updates with no resolution of problem. Nissan Consumer Affairs not responding to calls or messages left. 8/08/17 transmission rebuilt with no correction of problem. 9/11/2017 transmission replaced with no results. As of 10/31/17 Pathfinder at dealer. As per shop manager judder/jutter still present and they are waiting for Nissan response. The transmission jerks and jumps shaking whole vehicle. Nissan service unable to fix after mutiple attempts over a span of 11 months. I beleive this could be a safety issue to all in the vehicle and around if transmission fails, since this vehicle is equipped to carry 7 passengers. Nissan Consumer Affairs and the sales department are ignoring messages. The problem happens regularly when vehicle travelling in urban roads under 40 mph speed. This vehicle purchased as new. Serviced only by Nissan dealer where it was brought from.

The problem started a few months after I purchased my car. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership to investigate and fix many times. I have been sent home several times stating that they cannot recreate the problem. My car jumps when I am trying to accelerate normally from a low speed. 2 months ago, I was on a main road at a 4-way light intersection when it caused me to studder in the middle of the intersection where I almost caused an accident. I feel as thought the dealership is purposefully trying not to admit that there is a problem or they are trying to wait until my car is no longer covered under warranty. Today I was pulling into my garage when the car studdered and then jumped again which caused me to hit my trash cans and now I have a dent in the front side of my car.
