I have been experiencing the transmission shutter and jitter on the highway going to work and sometimes I lose speed which causes me to slow down to less than posted highway speeds in order to exit off the highway. The shudder judder that occurs happens intermittent and there are times when I feel that when I try to accelerate on the highway, the pedal does not react to my input into the gas. Not sure if it is a safety thing but the dealership visit that I had at Classic Nissan of Texoma in Denison Texas in April I was told that the shudder and judder was supposed to be fixed by an electronic update by Nissan. There continue to be TONS of issues with not just this model year but others based on the CVT transmission in these cars and the manufacturer needs to do something about it now before someone gets seriously hurt. I've had a few close calls which is why I decided to research and report with you because I feel the dealership or the manufacturer are not listening loud and clear to the owners of these cars such as myself.

AS I AM IN A COMPLETE STOP OR DRIVING SLOW I PRESS THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THE CAR SHAKES AND IT IS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND IT SHAKES FOR A GOOD 3 MINUTES ON THE ROAD, WHICH IS DANGEROUS FOR ME BECAUSE I'M AFRAID IT'LL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR THAT I'LL GET HIT BY ANOTHER CAR SINCE IT IS SLIPPING WHEN I'M TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW SPEED

STEERING
THE FRONT PASSENGER CONTROL ARM SNAPPED FREE FROM THE SUBFRAME WHILE SITTING AT A STOP SIGN. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I STARTED DRIVING AND FELT AN ISSUE IN THE STEERING. WHEN I WENT UNDERNEATH TO LOOK, I REALIZED THAT THE ENTIRE CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE SUBFRAME. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL, I REALIZED THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHERE SOMETHING SIMILAR HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS CLEARLY NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE AND NO WAY SHOULD THIS EVER HAPPEN. THIS IS SOMETHING THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO FIX! I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE SOON BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE!! OF COURSE MY CAR ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH A $3,000 BILL DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY CAN'T HELP ME EITHER. PLEASE ADD THIS TO YOUR RECALL LIST...THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!!!!!

ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, OR INCREASING SPEED FROM A TURN, THE CAR SPUTTERS, POWER FLUCTUATES, AND SOMETIMES IT VIBRATES AND FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING OVER A GRID. SHIFTING IS ROUGH WHILE DRIVING, AND THE CAR SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL, OR LIKE I'M DRIVING A STANDARD TRANSMISSION AND I'VE LEFT OFF THE CLUTCH TOO SOON. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING AND STARTED INCONSISTENTLY

THE PATHFINDER WAS RECALLED DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE SETTLEMENT HAD BEEN SETTLED. SO I CALLED THE COMPANY DIRECTLY AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PATHFINDER HAD NOT EVER BEEN CHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER. SO NO ONE WANTED TO HELP ME. SO WE HAD TAKEN THE PATHFINDER IN BEFORE I KNEW OF THE RECALL DUE TO TRANSMISSION LEAKING. HAD PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. SO LAST MONTH I HAD TO COME UP WITH MONEY TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION PUT IN. BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK IN PARK AND DRIVE. NO TAKE IN CONSIDERATION I HAD CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING AND KNEW THIS YEAR HAD JUST SETTLED A CIVIL LAWSUIT. SO I NEED HELP WITH BEING REIMBURSED BY NISSAN. THERE WAS AS IF, IT WAS STUCK IN LOW GEAR, HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN STARTED, HESITATED WHEN LEAVING A STOP LIGHT, DIFFICULT TIME PICKING UP SPEED, CONSTANTLY LEAKING TRANSMISSION LIQUID, HIGH PITCH NOICE WHEN WAS PUT IN REVERSE AND JERKING AS WHEN IT WAS ON THE HIGH WAY TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS. HAD A PARTICULAR SMELL AT TIMES. EVEN CALLED CVT ABOUT THE PROBLEM. EVERYONE REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. WAS UNABLE TO ATTACH THE SECOND PAGE OF THE DOCUMENT. I CAN PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION WHEN WE FIRST TOOK IN THE PATHFINDER WITH THIS PROBLEM.
