  STEERING

  I NOTICED A VERY HIGH PITCHED WHINING/WHISTLING NOISE WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD OF A 2 DAY OLD CAR. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW AND HAD IT TOPPED OFF. THE NOISE REDUCED VERY SLIGHTLY BUT ITS STILL THERE. THEY SAID THAT THE NOISE WAS MADE BY THE ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING PUMP AND WAS AT NORMAL LEVELS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OF MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES MAKE SUCH A SOUND. IT FEELS LIKE WHATEVER PART MAKING THAT SOUND IS DUE FOR FAILURE. *TR

  POWER TRAIN

  PURCHASED 2014 PREMIUM PLATITUM NISSAN PATHFINDER ON 10/9/13. THE SAME EVENING I NOTICED THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKING FROM STOP TO 35 MPH (2000 RPM). I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE. 4 DAYS LATER THE CAR DID THE SAME THING SEVERAL TIMES. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY CLAIM THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. 3 DAYS AFTER THAT, THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKED FROM STOP TO 35 MPH ALL MORNING. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY DUPLICATED THE ISSUE. SAID CAR NEEDS A TRANSMISSION. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE TO DETERMINE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN. IT HAPPENS QUIT FREQUENTLY WITH THE 2013/2014 CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN THE PATHFINDERS. CHECK EDMUNDS.COM, KBB.COM, ETC FOR REVIEWS. THE CUSTOMER REVIEWS ALL SAY THE SAME THING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR IS TRYING TO LEAVE 2ND GEAR WHILE JERKING, IT IS NOT PICKING UP SPEED AND CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR; CAUSING INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO IMMEDIATELY AND NISSAN NEEDS TO STOP PRODUCTION OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS UNTIL THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. NHTSA PLEASE GET INVOLVED TO STOP NISSAN FROM PRODUCING THESE FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND TO FORCE THEM TO FIX THE ONES THEY HAVE SOLD TO INNOCENT PURCHASERS. IT'S NOT RIGHT THAT THEY CONTINUE TO TAKE INNOCENT PEOPLE'S HARD EARN MONEY AND PROFIT FROM THAT, WHILE WE ARE FORCED TO PAY TO RIDE IN WHAT COULD BE A ACCIDENT CAUSING VEHICLE; RESULTING IN INJURY AND/OR WORSE CASE, DEATH!!! PLEASE BE PROACTIVE. LET'S SAVE LIVES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! *TR
