POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON 2016 AND IN 2017 I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR HAVING THE SHAKING WHEN ACCELERATING, AT THAT TIME THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE CAUSE AND THAT THEY FIXED IT. NOW AFTER TWO YEARS HAVE PASSED MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AGAIN PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY IN A RISK OF AN ACCIDENTS. I TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT HAS TO BE REPLACED SINCE NISSAN HAVE HAD SO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME REASON BECAUSE THEY NEVER NOTIFIED THE COSTUMERS ABOUT THIS ISSUES IN THESE SUVS. BUT NOW NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGED ME $4000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I'M OVER THE 100,000 MILES. BUT WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE THE FIRST TIME IT WAS UNDER THE WARRANTY THEY KNEW ALREADY, BY THEN, THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS AND THAT WAS THE PERFECT TIME FOR THEM TO REPLACED IT INSTEAD OF FIXING IT. THEY CHOSEN TO PUT ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE AT THIS MOMENT IS SITTING THERE AT THE DEALERSHIP.

STRUCTURE:BODY
SINCE I PURCHASED MY PATHFINDER, I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS IN ALMOST HAVING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE MIRRORS AND THE SIDE PANELS INSIDE BY THE MIRRORS, I CANNOT SEE IF ANOTHER VEHICLE IS COMING OR IF I'M AT A 4 WAY STOP I CAN NOT SEE IF THERE IS A CAR ON EITHER SIDE OF ME AT THE STOP. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE, BUT I JUST SAW A FORUM ABOUT IT ONLINE. I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND HARM MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE.
