Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. While driving 65-70 MPH, the vehicle independently decelerated. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but it failed to respond. The contact stated that the transmission was slipping. Additionally, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to reed nissan clermont (located at 16005 fl-50, clermont, fl 34711, (352) 293-2777) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired, but the failures recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000. *dt consumer stated issue continued and almost wrecked over 5 times due to not accelerating. Nissan ignored it and kept stating couldn't diagnose. Then hauled the transmisson twice after repented issues. Pulling out of dealership almost got hit. Now they refuse to fix it. New transmission shop took it apart. Not repaired properly. Note: according to the error code it is hard set, meaning never repaired. Nissans own bulletin stated should not be repaired but replaced. Parts are available. Updated 10/30/18
I experienced the following with my transmission on separate occasions; car jumping into low gear and significantly high rpms driving uphill, car jumping into low gear and significantly high rpms driving downhill, and gears 'slipping'. I received a recall notice from the federal safety agency in 2017 for my vehicle's transmission. I took my car into the dealership and detailed what I believe to have been transmission issues and as I have experienced them. I was told the dealership repaired the issue, they offered an extended warranty through january 1, 2021 or until my car reached 84k miles. I thought the issues was addressed and went on with life. Even when I experienced similar issues I doubted it was transmission related as I was assured the issue was addressed by the dealership. I started to think it was brakes related, a frozen caliper or something. It wasn't until recent when I was driving down a steep hill when my car suddenly 'jumped' into a low gear and I had to shift into neutral in order to get down the hill did I realize this issue was in fact transmission related. I took my car into the same dealership and explained the issue. The dealership performed the diagnostics and determined there is a transmission issue and that I needed to replace my transmission. My car is at 92k miles at this point and outside of the extended warranty. Nissan states they will only cover 70% of the repair costs. I urged them to consider the fact that I had previously voiced concerns which are captured in their records and that the dealership was only able to now duplicate the issue I had previously voiced in 2017 when my car was within the extended warranty period. Nissan states because the dealership was not able to duplicate the issue then, they will not honor 100% of the repair costs and are offering the 70% out of goodwill. I believe I and others may be treated unfairly by this car company.
Twice on this date I was completly stoped first time at a red traffic signal after the light turned green I began to accelerate and my vehicle shuttered for a few seconds and did not increase speed'second time after refueling vehicle restarted engine selected drive on transmission tapped gas and vehicle shuttered without increase in speed. Both ocacions road surface was dry and vehicle was in drive 2 wheel drive
My pathfinder has a known defect. Nissan has released technical bulletin classification ra09-004c with reference number ntb10-029c from november 16, 2015. There is a vibration or judder feeling from the rear drive train. The action required is the replacement of the electric controlled coupling. There needs to be a recall issued by the federal safety agency. I am very concerned for the safety of my young children. There is a vibration or judder feeling from the rear when making turns, on dry roads, at low speeds (under 40 MPH). The repair is expected to be between 3800 to 5000 dollars. The nissan dealer said there are issues with the rear differential and drive shaft, the CVT trans axel, and removal of the valve assembly.
My transmission jerks everytime I take off. For 47,000 miles. This should not be happening.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. While driving 15 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer (don williamson nissan, 310 western blvd, jacksonville, nc 28546), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and opened case number: 30054913. The failure mileage was 47,000.
Nissan issued a "campaign" due to a class action lawsuit settlement where the CVT transmission was malfunctioned which cause shuddering in the vehicle. The vehicle would shake while driving at 20mph. After bringing the issue to the attention of the dealership they could not determine what was wrong with the vehicle. On 2/28/17 the vehicle completely immobilized on the interstate in the middle of traffic nearly causing a tragic accident involving both myself and my children. Nissan failed to send correspondence advising of the ctv update which caused the issue to go unresolved and ultimately causing the fail of the transmission. This issue should be rectified with models containing the ctv transmission. Nissan has just advised the total cost of repairs would cost me a total $4,800.00 for their negligence of sending the proper correspondence regarding the campaign. They should buy back this car and all others like it as this can cause tragic accidents.
I purchased my nissan pathfinder and nissan rogue new in 2014. Almost all recommended service has been done at banister nissan of chesapeake, 930 n battlefield blvd, chesapeake, va 23320 dealership. At approximately 30,000 miles the pathfinder began to shake violently during acceleration between 15mph and 30mph. Also, the transmission slips and hesitates on both vehicles. Details of this problem have been shared repeatedly with dealership advisors at the time of service. At first technicians claimed not have noticed any trembling / issues during test drives with the pathfinder. Then each time I brought it in for the shudder, the dealer would blame it on other issues. I have replaced the tires, brakes, and rotors several times at the advice of the dealer. None of that fixed the shudder. Nissan had a recall for a defective valve body in the transmission. The valve body was replaced on both vehicles; however, the failure was not corrected. Banister nissan of chesapeake did not informed me until after the pathfinder was out of warranty that transmission was causing the problems and will need to be replaced. I requested assistance from the nissan manufacturer as advised by the dealership since I have complained about the problems for so long. The manufacturer was notified. Nissan agreed to pay for repair costs for the vehicle. Banister nissan of chesapeake now tells me they will need to do another diagnostic test but refuse to cover any cost associated. The advisors stated that diagnostic could coast anywhere from $200 - $800. My husband and I are experiencing most of the same issues with the 2014 nissan rogue purchased new at the same dealership.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. While driving various speeds, there was a knocking noise coming from the transmission. The vehicle was taken to brown dallas nissan (45155 towlern pl, sterling, va 20166) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.
Cvt changes neutral from driving positions contacted the dealer and nissan consumers agency they tolls me they can not do anything
At low speed, when you accelerate, the vehicle "shudders." it shakes and then as you speed up it normalizes.
Cvt transmission problems since the vehicle purchased as new on 05/08/2014. Reported to nissan dealer at regular service the transmission is jerking and bucking in early january 2017. Since then vehicle at dealer service many times once for almost 4 weeks at a streach. Multiple software and program/updates with no resolution of problem. Nissan consumer affairs not responding to calls or messages left. 8/08/17 transmission rebuilt with no correction of problem. 9/11/2017 transmission replaced with no results. As of 10/31/17 pathfinder at dealer. As per shop manager judder/jutter still present and they are waiting for nissan response. The transmission jerks and jumps shaking whole vehicle. Nissan service unable to fix after mutiple attempts over a span of 11 months. I beleive this could be a safety issue to all in the vehicle and around if transmission fails, since this vehicle is equipped to carry 7 passengers. Nissan consumer affairs and the sales department are ignoring messages. The problem happens regularly when vehicle travelling in urban roads under 40 MPH speed. This vehicle purchased as new. Serviced only by nissan dealer where it was brought from.
The problem started a few months after I purchased my car. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership to investigate and fix many times. I have been sent home several times stating that they cannot recreate the problem. My car jumps when I am trying to accelerate normally from a low speed. 2 months ago, I was on a main road at a 4-way light intersection when it caused me to studder in the middle of the intersection where I almost caused an accident. I feel as thought the dealership is purposefully trying not to admit that there is a problem or they are trying to wait until my car is no longer covered under warranty. Today I was pulling into my garage when the car studdered and then jumped again which caused me to hit my trash cans and now I have a dent in the front side of my car.
The transmission in my 2014 pathfinder has been a problem since I purchased it. I have dealt with replacing computer components in the transmission, fixing faulty braking systems that cause the car to shutdown, and a transmission that was finally replace only to fail roughly 4 weeks later! The government should stop allowing nissan to sell any car with a CVT transmission to consumers. They are unsafe and will cause a fatality wreck due to malfunctions. Nissan refuses to replace or repurchase my vehicle even though this has been an ongoing ordeal as far back as 2015. Most recently my car transmission does not change gears properly. When I slow down and try to accelerate the car will either shudder and fail to go past 20mph. Additionally I have experienced the transmission violently jerk while driving on the highway. I had to reduce my speed due to traffic, and when I tried to accelerate the car began to make a jerking motion where the speedometer jumped to 60mph and immediately feel to 20mph. The car went through this cycle for almost one minute.
Vehicle has a defective CVT transmission. Vehicle shakes or jerks upon changing gears, during acceleration or slowing down. Vehicle is also slow to accelerate upon take off, putting me at risk for other car to crash into me. Vehicle max speed is 50mph. Mechanic states CVT is faulty.
From time to time, my 2014 nissan pathfinder will not accelerate on full throttle while driving. I noticed this for the first time when the mileage was around 22k, and now around 34k, it is happening more frequently. I took it to the dealership a week ago to address this issue. They changed a brake relay and did some recall-related software updates. Since then, it is happening more frequently. I almost got hit by another car in the interstate ramp as I could not accelerate. I looked up online and found that this was the major issue among the 2013-2014 pathfinders and they have recalled close to the million vehicles for this. However, according to the manufacturer's tag on my car, this batch was built after the recall date (august 2014). It looks like nissan probably have not yet found the real solution for this issue, or, their CVT transmission design is fundamentally flawed. Whatever might the reason be, the federal safety agency should investigate and put more pressure on them to fix it. This is definitely a safety issue...please investigate!!!
Bought 2014 nissan pathfinder new. About 2 weeks ago car began shaking upon acceleration both in drive and reverse. On 1/21/2017 car became stuck in 1st gear and upon stopping at a red light, car did not move at all. Car was towed to dealership and today was diagnosed with needing a completely new transmission.
I purchased my nissan new in 2014 and now with 120000 I am told my vehicle needs a 3rd transmission. Nissan knows there is an issue with the 13-15 CVT's for the pathfinder as they have redesigned the transmission to correct the problem and have issued two recalls on the software for the CVT. I requested assistance then they are not willing to do what is right and replace it at their expense. All recommended service has been done at nissan dealerships. The original jutter issue was extreme, but I was told today that the new jutter issue is compressed and not as noticeable, but I was not informed until after it was out of warranty that is would not feel the same. I was informed that the jutter code is back and that was I was feeling is in fact the same issue.
The vehicle started shuddering and shaking while driving and when I accelerated would hesitate and after a few seconds would move a little slow with continual shaking and shuddering. Once stopped and parked I tried to the vehicle back on the check engine light would come on with the battery and wouldn't start. The vehicle was towed to nissan where they said it was the induction air flow , ECM, and cost $400. After leaving nissan I had to take it back the next week for the same issue. The service manager drove it and said that he thought it was the transmission and that the 2014 are known to have problems. He said to bring it back in the next couple of weeks. I took it back again after being stranded 3 times, almost hit several times and once by a semi- truck when it shuddered and would not accelerate. Nissan confirmed that it needed a new transmission because it was defective. They want me to pay $4000 because it has 80,000 miles on it. I filed a consumer complaint with american nissan corp and they told me that there was nothing they could do because it was out of warranty. The vehicle was bought brand new. Nissan knew that the CVT was defective when they sold it. They sent out a service letter to their dealerships about the issue in september 2013. This is very dangerous and is going to cost someone their life. Nissan should backup their vehicles. A two year old vehicle should not need the transmission replaced. Especially a $40,000 vehicle. This is extremely dangerous, and theft by deception.
Brakes are prematurely worn and makes noise. At times the vehicle shudders unexpectedly which leads to pulling off the road to inspect the vehicle.
Transmission CVT issue.. While driving at low miles 5-30 MPH.. Car will shake shudder . Jutter shutter almost like a washing machine shaking. I did some research and it looks like I am not the only one having this issue... I checked my car for recall of issue and found out that it is not listed!!! How can I get this problem fixed ? It makes me feel very unsafe .. I bought this car because of the size and since my wife is pregnant and having a child.. We are afraid to drive the car now since it has this issue with the transmission.
Cvt transmission has been shaking since the first moth of purchase. The vehicle had less than 1,000 miles on the car. The dealer has said several times there was no issue with the car and said they could not replicate the issue despite my concerns. Every single time I was told there was no problems with my brand new car. I have taken the car in at least 4 or 5 times. The car will shake so hard it's almost like the car is skipping between 20-40 MPH and you have to clutch the steering to maintain control or disengage the gas pedal. This happens while driving or turning and at any time the car shifts between gears at low rates of speed. This has been a recurring problem since I have owned the vehicle. This is unsafe when driving on the highway and needing to pick up speed or making a turn onto oncoming traffic. Nissan if fully aware of the transmission issues and concerns of consumers in regards to this issue. Please investigate this issue. Hold nissan accountable, recall this transmission, and help prevent nissan from selling faulty cars.
Cvt transmission shudders and shakes the whole car when driving at low speeds. Very dangerous to drive when SUV suddenly shakes so violently due to manufacturing defect from nissan. Happens about once a month. Nissan dealer has refused to repair anything as they were not able to replicate exact issue in a test drive. The federal safety agency please please investigate and get nissan to honor their warranty by fixing a dangerous and widespread issue with pathfinder's 2013-2015.
My transmission died on I 95 after only 38,000 miles. It was replaced at a nissan dealership and then a month later the brand new transmission leaked so much fluid that the goodyear mechanic that I took the car to(since the dealership wasn't open) couldn't find where the transmission was actually leaking from.
1. Front passenger seat occupant indicator. Weight activated, irractic function. 2. Variable speed transmission shudders when the car is going up a grade or is subjected to a hard pull, up & down mountainous terrain or up over an elevated railroad crossing.
Multiple issues with this SUV had to have rear shock/strut replaced. Instrument cluster panel has been replaced. Passenger side air bag comes on when person is sitting there. Cvt transmission problems. The SUV has been in the shop on multiple occasions for each issue the transmission issue has been in the shop 6 plus times and I just picked up the 2014 pathfinder 8-16-2016 and was told and have it on my invoice that the service tech drove the SUV and feels the transmission slipping or skipping but there is nothing they can do nissan power train warranty will not allow them to replace it because my check engine light is not showing a code. So I have a 2014 pathfinder that is a complete safety hazard for my family and other people on the road. The SUV will cut out, slip, shutter, lose power and has the potential of causing and accident when trying to accelerate which is terrible for who ever was to hit me and also could be fatal if I was to be hit and the passenger side air bag does not deploy could really hurt/kill the passenger. Every excuse I get from nissan is they reprogrammed the car and this never fixed anything. The car was having transmission issues back before it made it to 30,000 miles and now at 55,000 miles the SUV is having major issues with the transmission. This is a known issue but nissan refuses to fix. Nissan instead puts this SUV back on the road knowing it is having a safety issue for acceleration and passenger side air-bag and putting people at risk. I am requesting nissan to do a buy back of this SUV. I am not looking for a replacement with another faulty transmission or a rebuilt transmission. I have found that there is a class action law suit in federal court in florida with people having the exact same issue. So obliviously there is a major problem with these transmissions.
At slow speed car started shaking in hot weather with A/C on.
I started noticing a slight slip in the transmission when I first purchased the vehicle, I didn't think much of it because it was a new vehicle. Then I would notice shaking periodically on the freeway; thinking it was the road. Now, fast forward my car obviously has a bigger issue. I was on the freeway and my car began to spudder and jerk and felt like I was going to lose power. I immediately exited the freeway and took the streets worried it was going to fall apart on me. I drove a few miles and jumped back on the freeway thinking it would go away. Nope! Same thing happened and I was extremely frightened that I was going to get smashed from behind. The spudder feels as if you are going off roading. This occurred on the freeway when proceeding to accelerate after slowing in traffic. I thought for sure I was breaking down and my vehicle was staling.
I purchased a 2014 nissan pathfinder as a new vehicle in october 2015. Since purchasing the vehicle I noticed the vehicle shuddering at low speed or when turning. This shuddering has become more frequent and now happens when the vehicle is cruising down the road. We have also noticed that the passenger airbag will show that there is no body in the seat even when there is someone sitting in the seat. The first time we took the vehicle back to the dealership the mechanic was not able to experience the issues that we had communicated to them and dismissed our claims. Will be going back to the dealership to discuss shuddering issue as it feels like the transmission is going to fall out.
