My car (2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid) has been stuttering/juddering as it has been described by other users. took to my local mechanic who found the software needed to be updated. he was nice enough to take to the local Nissan dealer (San Leandro) phone (510) 347-3030 who did a software upgrade. since then, the juddering/stuttering is a lot worse and doing things it has not done before. they are saying I need a new transmission which does not sit well with me because the car is worse off from the software upgrade that they performed. it was doing much better prior to that. now I get a couple error messages one of which says the hybrid system is overheated - how could it be overheating soon after starting the car first thing in the morning when it has not been running all night. it never did this before. I also get an I-key system error which never popped up before either. in addition, the car has stopped in the middle of the road while street driving which can be a dangerous event! i have called Nissan consumer affairs and they were pretty useless. all they could do is place a dealership complaint. please help.

I have been having issues with my vehicle since 2016. In 2017 my vehicle stalled at a busy exit ramp after shaking. The most recent incident september 11, 2019 my vehicle stalled again on a busy exit ramp. The warning on the vehicle stated hybrid system overheating. I took the vehicle in to the dealer because of the shaking and stalling and two days later I received my vehicle back. The service report states there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. On saturday, september 14th my vehicle was worse than before with two warning lights. I was barely able to drive the vehicle back to the dealer on september 16th. On september 17th I receive a phone call from the service advisor that the issue with the vehicle is the transmission. The shaking has been an issue since 2017 but according to the service agents they never experienced it until september 16th.

I called nissan in june to report that my car was shaking and trembling at times while driving. It happens while coasting, accelerating and braking. I brought it in and was told it needed a transmission update. 2 weeks later the problem returned. At times I need to turn the car off and restart it to get the shaking to stop. When I looked online this is a huge problem. Over 29000 already are "lemons". I brought it back and was told they could not duplicate the problem. Then brought it back and was told there was a new update (1 day later). I called nissan corporate and they were looking into buying the car. They then put in a new transmission as I had refused to pick up the car. They put it in the day they called to say it would be done tomorrow so when I called to ask them not to, it was already being done. Now nissan will not buy the car as it has a new transmission. There are reports of having 3 new transmissions and the problem continues. Cars are breaking down. Nissan is ignoring the problem. I was told in 2-3 weeks they will call and if the car is ok they will offer a settlement. Why a settlement if the car is ok unless they realize it is a problem? The fact that this is a continuation from 2013 problem, and the cars are continuing to be sold while nissan ignores the problem puts people in danger. Cars are overheating and breaking down in the middle of the highway. Someone needs to hold nissan accountable and put people first. I stated to corporate I should not have to be a test dummy for 2-3 weeks and put my life and others on the road in danger. No one at nissan will acknowledge that this is an ongoing issue for more than just myself. Please advise.
