Aloha, When I’m driving my SUV and it hits 20mph or more my SUV starts to shuttering or jerking motion for like 2 secs after driving over 20mph, I took it in to get it fix but the shuttering came back after a few days. So I figure it was built like that. But now I can’t even drive it due to its too dangerous to drive. I looked up the problem and joined a form online and a lot of people have the same problem as I do. I wanted to voice my concerns. Best regards,

Was driving around yesterday when the vehicle started acting funny. When you put it into reverse, the vehicle would not recognize the shift immediately, and would instead make a hard jerk when the vehicle did go into gear. Similarly happened putting the vehicle into drive as well. Vehicle also is shuddering on acceleration. Went to a local part store to check it out, and ended up being code P17F0 with no immediate remedy available from Nissan.
I have been experiencing the transmission shutter and jitter on the highway going to work and sometimes I lose speed which causes me to slow down to less than posted highway speeds in order to exit off the highway. The shudder judder that occurs happens intermittent and there are times when I feel that when I try to accelerate on the highway, the pedal does not react to my input into the gas. Not sure if it is a safety thing but the dealership visit that I had at Classic Nissan of Texoma in Denison Texas in April I was told that the shudder and judder was supposed to be fixed by an electronic update by Nissan. There continue to be TONS of issues with not just this model year but others based on the CVT transmission in these cars and the manufacturer needs to do something about it now before someone gets seriously hurt. I've had a few close calls which is why I decided to research and report with you because I feel the dealership or the manufacturer are not listening loud and clear to the owners of these cars such as myself.
Im one of the couple thousands around the US and Canada having a CVT transmission problems in A Nissan vehicle. Vehicle started having issues around 80k miles. Now still having issues with 120k Vehicle looks brand new still. CVT issues on my 13 Pathfinder are having a very aggressive vibration at low speed to mid speed. Nissan was told at several dealerships about the issue. They said. Nothing they can’t do because of vehicle has no recalls.
Gear selector will not shift out of Park with the brake pedal depressed requiring the use of the manual override switch to shift the car into gear.

As I am in a complete stop or driving slow I press the pedal to accelerate the car shakes and it is the transmission slipping and it shakes for a good 3 minutes on the road, which is dangerous for me because I'm afraid it'll stop in the middle of the road or that I'll get hit by another car since it is slipping when I'm trying to accelerate from a complete stop or trying to accelerate from a slow speed
From time to time it will not shift out of park

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
The pathfinder was recalled due to transmission problems. When I heard about the settlement had been settled. So I called the company directly and found out that the pathfinder had not ever been changed from the previous owner. So no one wanted to help me. So we had taken the pathfinder in before I knew of the recall due to transmission leaking. Had purchased extended warranty they refused to repair the transmission. So last month I had to come up with money to have a transmission put in. Because it was stuck in park and drive. No take in consideration I had contacted nissan directly and they refused to do anything and knew this year had just settled a civil lawsuit. So I need help with being reimbursed by nissan. There was as if, it was stuck in low gear, high pitch sound when started, hesitated when leaving a stop light, difficult time picking up speed, constantly leaking transmission liquid, high pitch noice when was put in reverse and jerking as when it was on the high way trying to shift gears. Had a particular smell at times. Even called CVT about the problem. Everyone refused to replace the transmission. Was unable to attach the second page of the document. I can provide documentation when we first took in the pathfinder with this problem.
The vehicle shudders badly when driving at slower speeds and also when driving on highway and I checked on pathfinder forums that 2013s have lots of complaints listed for same problem.
My warranty ended at 80,000 and my transmission went out on me at 83,000. Warranty ended july 2020 but I was not notified of such information. I have purchased two vehicles from nissan and I will not purchase another one due to this matter. B/c nissan will not cover it and wants $6,500 to replace it with a use transmission. They have lost it.
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.
Under light acceleration the transmission shudders till it gets to 40. Happens at every light. Have to keep pushing the pedal to try to avoid it. At other times it still shudders anyways. Sometimes when put in d or r it won't respond to pedal and will basically coast if at an angle
Hood flutters going down the highway. Has been previously adjusted under safety recall. Not repaired completely by dealership. Cvt transmission judder. Has been reprogrammed by dealership, did not repair problem. Bands now slipping and out of mileage warranty. Occupant sensor for airbag previously repaired by dealership. Still does not work. Replaced cushion. Still not repaired. Dealership refuses to repair. Liftgate scratches roof when opening. Dealership said the liftgate has a code. Brandon nissan in brandon florida. Will not repair any of the technical service bulletins on this vehicle.
Inferior differential/transfer case of the 4wd - there is a knocking noise when turning either direction when in 2wd - 4wd no longer functions. Substandard for them to use a car differential in a truck that is heavier.
The transmission was slipping your car was driving sluggish wooding go into gear had to stop going 20 to 30 miles an hour pull over to the side for about 10 to 20 minutes then restart the vehicle driving gears wasn't going into place revving high engine going slow .
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle hesitated with the 4 wheel drive warning light illuminated.

I bought a 2013 nissan pathfinder on 2016 and in 2017 I took it to a nissan dealership for having the shaking when accelerating, at that time the dealership told me that the transmission was the cause and that they fixed it. Now after two years have passed my car started to shake again putting me and my family in a risk of an accidents. I took it to the same dealership and I was told that it was the transmission again and now they are saying it has to be replaced since nissan have had so many complaints for the same reason because they never notified the costumers about this issues in these suvs. But now nissan wants to charged me $4000 for the transmission because I'm over the 100,000 miles. But when I took the vehicle the first time it was under the warranty they knew already, by then, the problem with the transmissions and that was the perfect time for them to replaced it instead of fixing it. They chosen to put me and my family at risk of causing an accident. The vehicle at this moment is sitting there at the dealership.
When accelerating you can feel it vibrate or hesitation . This is the second time I have had this issue with it. The CVT transmission has been replaced once at 15, 000 miles. Now that it is not under warranty, nissan will not fix or replace, even though I have had this problem before.
Increasing engine noise, heavy highway vibration (almost like unbalanced tires) and very choppy start-from-stop exceleration caused me to have the car looked at by a mechanic. Diagnosed as a transmission problem. Only option is to replace. I thought there was an earlier recall on this model for powertrain issues, but my car shows "0 unrepaired recall items"
My car is failing to change gear and jerks every time I try to accelerate.
