We have a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder and started having issues in June 2021. Our car stalled while driving home from work almost causing an accident. Had it towed to Nissan and they told us we needed to replace the Transmission. It took them 2 months to fix our car. In the midst of fixing the transmission they said the supercharger pulley needed to be replaced. OKAY! We finally get our car and a day later the check engine light is on again and now the horn wont stop blaring. We had to disconnect the battery. WE TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN and they said the battery was bad. They replaced it but it did not fix the issue. Nissan had to call the Nissan Tech Line for suggestions. So they said the DC/DC converter assy needed to be replaced and the HV harness was also failing to communicate. All this is connected to the transmission. With the new recall coming out all of this should be refunded. We need assistance. Any information or suggestions anyone has would be highly helpful.

We purchased our vehicle from Nissan at 72K miles, we experienced a host of problems that we had to pay for out of pocket, only to have Nissan confirm our CVT transmission start to judder and start to lose power when turning left and right at low speeds. We experienced this at 111k miles when our car stalled when pulling out onto a busy road almost causing an accident in front of Walmart. We are in a situation where the repairs of the transmission and the other parts that continually fail are more money than what we have left on payments for the vehicle itself. With such a wide range of vehicles produced with this transmission type and such a widespread problem we feel like Nissan needs to take some ownership of the problem and would like some relief in the form of compensation or recall.
CVT transmission Failure. First failure was approx 53,000 miles. 2nd failure was at 82,500 miles. The first failure threw a code while in for service to investigate an engine shudder. We were experiencing some moderate engine shudder and hesitation. The second occurrence was a very dangerous situation. CVT would barely move (extreme hesitation) at low speed making turns with oncoming traffic to get home potentially deadly. These vehicles probably need to be repurchased by the manufacturer and taken off the streets. At a minimum Nissan should be forced to further extend the CVT powertrain warranty and take responsibility for these poorly designed units. Failures occur with no warning. Had the same situation occur on the highway with a Nissan Altima as well. Instant failure with no warning.
I purchased my car 1 year ago. Since then my car has continued to stutter. Sometimes its a suttle stutter, most times its very noticeable and has continued to get worse in the short time I've had my car. I commute 1 hour to work and 1 hour home from work and am very concerned traveling on the highway at high speeds with this issue. I've asked a dealership in Hutchinson, KS to help me with this issue as I am concerned the CVT valve in the transmission has not been fixed and they won't help me. They tell me that since their tech does not witness the stutter during their brief test drive there is nothing they can do to help. I've read several complaints on from other customers as well and they are consistent with my concern.
Have had to replace transmission 2 times on vehicle with 141000 miles on it. These CVT transmissions fail after 60000 miles or so. Very frustrating to pay this much for a vehicle to have same equipment fail multiple times. The replacement transmissions are no better than the originals. Nissan needs to do something to compensate these consumers and own up to the CVT transmission being faulty.
Trips, shuddering and loss of power when accelerating
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. The contact was driving at an undisclosed speed, when a smoke odor was detected and smoke came through the cabin filter inside the vehicle. No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and diagnosed that the transmission was leaking oil and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired and was still at the mechanic. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the failure was not covered since the vehicle was over the mileage warranty coverage. The failure mileage was 111,000.

Car judder and loose power
After any complete stop , as you accelerate you feel about 3 to four skips during acceleration. Happens every time . Heard that transmission has issues
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.

Car was idling and coasting for a while as we were at a drive through african safari wildlife park. Once I needed to press the accelerator, the vehicle would not go. Suddenly it sped up and I had to slam on the brakes to not hit the vehicle in front of me.
Vehicle makes a continuous whining/wind noise while in motion and when the gas pedal is not engaged (dealerships state that they can not identify the issue). The transmission was changed back in 2017 but is now juddering and slow to accelerate.the electronic power steering pump making a very loud whining noise, no warning lights nor leaks, at correct level for fluid. Replaced new toyo tires at 20,000 miles.
I purchased this nissan cash 1400.00 from a dealer and within a week the transmission will judder they call it. They will only buy it back from me for 5000.00 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 nissans but mine not built within a certain month period of that yr. This nissan is dangerous if I put it on the road.
