The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact received a notice regarding an unknown manufacturer recall. The notice stated that there was a class action lawsuit that granted her a free repair for the vehicle's transmission and catalytic converter. The contact drove to carriage Nissan (2400 browns bridge rd, gainesville, ga 30504, 678-944-8663) to have the vehicle serviced and was informed that there were no failures associated with the vehicle; therefore, the recall did not apply. While driving 50 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact was also informed that she no longer qualified for the manufacturer recall and would have to pay out of pocket for the repairs. The manufacturer was contacted and stated the same thing as the dealer. No further assistance was offered. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 90,410.

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. 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 have adopted and someone not paying attention hits and kills us or/ and someone else. Thanks for at least listening. I bought the vehicle to have enough room to abide with the law and now, I was taken advantage of.

Going uphills or accelerating, the car begins to accelerate then becomes jerky and loses power before resuming acceleration. This has been an ongoing problem since purchased but has gradually gotten worse. Also, recently have noticed fluid leaks occasionally.

While the vehicle is in motion if randomly becomes unresponsive to the gas pedal being pressed to engage the engine and continue moving forward. The vehicle doesn't shut down, the engine is still running, however, it doesn't respond when the gas pedal is engaged to accelerate. This occurs while driving on city streets and highway. The safety concern is when the vehicle is moving with traffic and doesn't respond to the gas pedal the vehicle begins to slow down and may cause an accident. The most recent episode occurred this afternoon (7/1/2019) while driving to the servicing dealership for a scheduled oil change. My wife merged to the left lane (also the passing line) in order to get off the left side exit to the dealership. The vehicle became did not respond to the gas pedal and slowed down to 45 mph nearly causing an accident because traffic on the left lane was moving approximately 65-70 mph. My 2 young children were in the vehicle at the time as they are most of the time when the vehicle doesn't respond to the gas pedal being pressed. We've had the vehicle diagnosed by the local Nissan dealership (crowley Nissan) and they've found nothing wrong with the vehicle. We were told that's how the cvt transmission is supposed to work ( it's not supposed to potentially kill you and your family). I've done some research on the web for similar issues and there are many Nissan Pathfinder experiencing the same concern. I also contacted Nissan of North America to express the concern and they had no resolution, the representative also said they can not take website input, or blogs of customer expressing concerns with their vehicle. The only suggestion is the take it to the dealership and have them diagnose the problem, but the dealership tells us they need a trouble code from the system that's failing. When this occurs no trouble code comes up, so, we're going around in circles.

Brake lights found to be staying on while car was parked in the garage, this causes the engine to reduce power potentially causing an accident if it reduces power while driving, or by following vehicle thinking that you are braking when you are trying to accelerate.

- Bennington, NE, USA

Vehicle when stationary and in park intermittently will not shift into any other gear such as drive or reverse even while depressing the brake pedal. This causes the motorist to become immobile. One safety concern is a scenario when a motorist placed the vehicle in park while waiting at an open draw bridge, train crossing or other situation that the motorist placed the vehicle in park thereby making the vehicle immobile in the flow of traffic. Additionally a motorist can become stranded in a remote location with no communication services available. An internet search for this condition has uncovered numerous owners experiencing this very same condition on same or similar Nissan vehicles. Upon further research it appears that a component or components, such as relay switches or solenoid(s) may be the cause of the transmission gear safety interlock becoming stuck thereby preventing the motorist from shifting the vehicle into the desired gear.

Anywhere between 15 and 20 miles my car shudders. It's to the point pint it's not safe to drive the vehicle

- Brandon, FL, USA

Since 2014 we have replaced 5 transmissions and 4 of these have been in the last month. The first one was a recall. I am wondering how many times will they continue to work this issue before they fix it or take the vic as a loss due to this issue never being handled. This is our family car and I cannot consider selling it or trading it in if it keeps breaking. Nissian has said they replaced this with a new transmission multiple times but how does the same new transmission keep breaking. I need answers.

My Nissan has been getting stuck in park for the last week. After research online, I found out how to manually release the shift lock solenoid. I took it to my mechanic today & sure enough he said it's failed. I have to manually release it 3/4 of the day. Sometimes I am lucky and it will unlock on the first try after starting my car.

The shift interlock does not disengage when the brake pedal is depressed keeping the vehicle from being able to shift into gear. The vehicle is stationary and cannot engage any gears this has continued to happen daily since it began.

- Pittsburg, CA, USA

Around 90K miles I began to feel a slight vibration when accelerating. Now that my extended certified pre owned warranty is out, it ran out at 100K and I currently have 105K miles on it, the vibration has become more noticable affecting acceleration. Upon reviewing many complaints online I feel like I am having same issue. The cvt transmission. It used to accelerate fairly smooth but now vibrates, if you release the gas some and reapply the gas, it seems to help it smooth it out. Smooths out over 60 miles and runs pretty smooth. So problem occurs during acceleration between 15 to 45 miles per hour

- Raleigh, NC, USA

Vehicle transmission is not functioning as it should causing the vehicle to stop accelerating while driving.

- Beaverton, OR, USA

Engine light came on, took it to my repair shop to run a computer check. It came back with the cvt P17F1 transmission code. Nothing has happened yet, the light came on yesterday, taken in today to get it checked out. My repair place said they saw where Nissan had a recall on my type or Pathfinder years 2013-2015 but when I looked up my truck with the VIN, it says no recall on my vehicle. I'm trying to see why my vehicle doesn't have a recall on the transmission?

I bought a brand new 2013 Nissan Pathfinder in March of 2013. Within 6 months I noticed there was jerking with the transmission. I took it back to preston Nissan in Maryland and was told they had received a bulletin and the transmission needed to be reprogrammed. They reprogrammed the transmission and it helped a little but a few months later it was doing the same thing. I took it back to preston Nissan. There I was told that they could not duplicate the problem and that they would reprogram it again. It did not help. I could not afford to keep taking it back, because they charge me every time to keep telling me there was nothing wrong. My car began to not accelerate when I was making a turn or when I was accelerating in traffic. We took it back to preston and we were told that they had put a device in to monitor the transmission as well as reprogrammed it again. My car continued to judder and shake and fail to accelerate. There was a class action lawsuit filed and Nissan extended the warranties to 84,000 miles. My car is now at 87,000 and a Nissan dealership in Michigan is now stating that it needs a new transmission and a cooling fan. Nissan corporate office is now telling me that they will pay 90% of the fan and only 50% of the transmission. I bought the extended warranty when I purchased the car. The transmission is not the only thing wrong with this car. It has been one thing after the other. Door lock motor, visor, hood release, trunk latch, brake lights remain on when car is off, airbag indicator...the list goes on and on.
