I own a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder and the transmission died last week. I towed it to the dealership and the repair is $5,400. After some digging I discovered that Nissan has had a problem with this model year transmission and there was a class action suit for this issue. They then extended the warranty on the cvt to 10 years or 120,000 miles, however owners were never informed of this recall/ campaign since all vehicles would not experience this problem. Unfortunately for me my tranny failed at 125,000 miles and they would not repair under warranty, although all the circumstances I outlined above shows' they did not do their do diligence to inform and fix the issue after they found out about the fault. I'm sure they will be many more owners of these vehicles that will experience this issue. Anything you can do to assist with this would a appreciated.
Transfer case have been leaking starting about 45K miles and didn't even stop after Nissan resealed it. Recently about 90K miles started to make whining noise that seem to be less noisy after 35mph. There also is scratching noise on slow down. Took the car to dealership and they recommended driving the car on 2wd only. Replacement is over $4,500.
The transmission slips causing the car to lose power and acceleration. I was merging onto the highway at 60 mph when the transmission gave out as I was merging in front of and next to two semi trailers. Luckily I was able to steer back onto the berm but they came very close to smashing into the back of the car.
Transmission is slipping and jerking. Had been driving for about 20 minutes and was stopped at an intersection. Pulled out into traffic and transmission slipped/jerked resulting in almost no acceleration. Has happened again several times while driving straight and also when turning. Vehicle as 76,000 miles. 2014 Nissan Pathfinder

I purchased this Nissan cash $1400 from a dealer and within a week the transmission will judder they call it. They will only buy it back from me for $5000 because of the cvt transmission. When on take off... only... this happens. The cars behind me almost run into me. I am so scared to take off at redlights and for anyone to get behind. I am afraid it is going to cause a crash because I cant stop it and people honk there horn at me like it is me doing it. The car literally jumps up and down it feels like. I don't know what to do. I cant afford to fix it now. I don't have a warr it has expired and there is a recall for this problem with other 2014 Nissan but mine not built within a certain month period of that yr. This Nissan is dangerous if I put it on the road.

I purchased the car in 2015 and complained about transmission problems the dealer said it was ok, in 2017 I began having more transmission problems, the dealer did some work and adjustments and added a monitor of some kind and claimed everything was fine, now today a diagnosic shows my transmission is not working again and the dealer has no idea why, I have always felt this should have been taken care off years ago by replacing the transmission. There is a defect with them and there should be a recall on Nissan transmission it seems many people are having problem like my self. The vehicle, slips, hestitate, vibrates when speeding up and then the engine light comes on.
Sat idling 30 minutes put car in reverse no power. Put car in drive no power. Neutral stepped on gas engines revved. Towed to dealer dionastic bad transmission. Dealer notified Nissan North America willing to split the%44 $4400 rebuild cost. Car has 93K garage kept dealer maintained. Apparently Nissan settled a class action law suit to extend the drive train warranty to 90kmi. Very dissatisfied the ctv transmission was poorly engineered and designed. The rebuilt transmission come with a 1 year or 12kmi warranty. Never again. Stay away from missan they don't stand behind there product.
