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.

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.

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.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan pathfinder. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the transmission "slipped" and started to shake without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the transmission was diagnosed as faulty and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was involved in a crash, which voided the warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 18,000....updated 02/03/16 *bf

Car jerks and struggles to increase speeds during this time. When in traffic traveling at a reduced speed car will jerk like the transmission is slipping and fail to increase speed.

Acceleration / transmission problems with 2014 nissan pathfinder. Issues began at 3100 miles. No acceleration from stop, or very minimal. Felt as if the transmission was "slipping" and would not engage, or similar to drive a manual transmission at MPH in 4th gear. Issue recurred several times on my commute home. Was stranded on the side of the road and required towing because I could not make the vehicle move forward at all. Abnormal burning smell coming from front of car was observed. I was stranded in winter with a 3 month old in the car. At one point I was basically stuck in the middle of an intersection due to the lack of acceleration. I was nearly rear-ended in one case and was in serious danger of being sideswiped by oncoming traffic. Depending on the situation, this issue could present a major safety hazard (and did for me). For the first time in my life, I was worried for my personal safety while driving a car. Also observed erratic engine RPM's at idle (from 1000 to 1500) and while coasting. Rpm would jump up and down with constant (or no) throttle applied. Dealer has had the car for over 3 weeks at this point. Initially they were not able to replicate the issue, and no error codes were shown on the computer. Eventually they did replicate the issue and are now replacing the transmission control module after consulting with nissan. I have the impression that neither nissan or the dealer has any clue how to fix the issue. They are just trying different things to see what makes it work again. Based on the lengthy list of similar complaints, nissan is apparently not too concerned...
