2017 Nissan Pathfinder: hesitation when accelerating

Filed Oct 31, 2024 · Transmission · CT

We have just under 80,000 miles on this & the transmission has started slipping. Pulled into an intersection after slowing (we were on the right-of-way), turned right to go up a hill & transmission hesitated. Car shuddered, then tranny kicked in & up the hill we went. We've noticed similar issues when moving from a 'slowing' motion to accelerating - highway lane changes when passing, etc. The hill thing was a stunner.

Car constantly stutters, when driving on the highway it feels like when you run out of gas, I've had multiple problems with the mass airflow sensor which is unresolved and unable to be duplicated when needed to be found. The 2 weeks after purchase the fan went out. I've replaced the mass air flow sensor and still same issue. The touch screen goes black and also is no longer working. All problems started right after warranty ended. I've been stranded multiple times in different cities. When the car is stationary and on it blows out white smoke after a certain amount of time. I'm scared to pull out in traffic because the hesitation and the feeling of it going to lose power.

My vehicle is a 2017 nissan pathfinder. When driving and coming to a stop, then attempting to enter traffic or climb a hill, there is no acceleration. It has a hesitation which is very concerning when attempting to merge into traffic. My vehicle almost appears to sputter out. This has occurred with me several times but with friends and family in the vehicle at least four times. The dealer did attempt to remedy the situation with a recalled part on the transmission, however, it is still happening. I have been dealing with this issue since february 2017, still ongoing.
