While driving on the highway I lost the ability to accelerate. I had to coast to the shoulder. I had my 2 young children in the car and this could have led to a terrible accident. The car is 4.5 years old and has under 39,000 miles on it. Nissan has determined the transmission failed and is replacing it under warranty. The transmission problems with the 2013 and 2014 Nissan Pathfinders are well known at this point. It is only a matter of time before someone gets killed. Order a recall now.

The car was unresponsive to acceleration on highway and stalled due to faulty transmission. My wife and two kids were stranded on the highway. I took car in for concerns about transmission at 77 K miles while still under warranty and they said it was fine with no codes. The car has just over 100 K. the car was dead in the water. I had to get car towed to the Nissan dealership one mile away. Doing more research on the transmission and saw the overwhelming evidence that the cvt transmission in the 13 and 14 is absolutely terrible and Nissan knows it. The transmission was out of warranty, but have seen that Nissan knows the transmissions are faulty and have helped people with repair costs. So I contacted Nissan North America and they said I did not meet the criteria for which they would help. I asked what was the criteria? from the information I gathered, they will not help in replacing the transmission unless you have spent a boatload of money at the dealership service center. I had a friend of mine, same thing happened to trans, Nissan paid for 70% of transmission repair. I learned that he had previously spent thousands at the service center on other repairs and he was approved. I argued with Nissan that I am being penalized for having a car that worked well and did not have a bunch of repairs. So the bottom line is that Nissan will help only those who have spent thousands at their service centers. They talked to me about customer loyalty. I said how can I be a loyal customer after this. Nissan has sold a bunch of lies and continues to lie to customers about the transmissions. They should have been a service recall after the overwhelming evidence of the faulty transmission. Never Nissan.

My vehicle shifts into od on its own. The dealership has done a soft reassembly an replaced the guts of the transmission and the issue is still occuring. This vehicle also previously needed to be towed due to it not accelerating after reaching 60mph on a major highway. It slowed down on its own and would not accelerate pass 20 mph

My vehicle began to make a knocking noise in the rear when turning. I took the car in to be assessed and was sold a new set of rear shock-absorbers. It was immediately evident that the problem was not resolved, so I took the vehicle back to the dealer service department. They found that the rear differential was failing and shards of metal had broken off. The vehicle was repaired under warranty. The failure occurred at about 50000 miles.

2014 N Pathfinder 83,000 miles- I parked my car when I restarted it 10 min later, white smoke started coming from my exhaust. So much smoke that I was afraid to drive it. I had the car towed to my mechanic. He said that it's defiantly the engine (possible piston ring or stuck valves) he says he's heard of others with the same problem. Googled and see many others with the same problem. Dealer says I'm 8,000 miles out of my extended warranty. Hard to believe this problem seems so wide spread and isn't a recall.

I was driving the car today and the car starting jerking almost like stalling on the highway. This usually happens all the time on and off and happens during slower speeds or when I am making turns but yesterday it happened on the highway at high speeds and the car started juddering. When I first bought the car I took the car to Nissan to check this out and they said nothing was wrong but now I took the car again to Nissan and hopefully they will fix this transmission issue.

I have taken my Pathfinder to the shop on several occasions to have the transmission fixed. It shutters at slow speeds. My husband was told that Nissan's do that and nothing is wrong. We had the cvt sensor replaced and it stopped for a while. Well now it shutters at low speeds while turning a corner, in slow moving traffic, high speeds going down the interstate and sometimes when you press on the gas pedal after being stopped at a light it will act like the transmission is not engaging and then all of a sudden it will engage and make the car leap forward and it will shake. We purchased the vehicle from vic bailey Ford in August 2015, was told that it still had the manufacturer warranty left on it and benson Nissan in spartanburg would not honor the warranty because we didn't purchase the vehicle from them. This transmission problem has been an on going problem since we purchased the vehicle.

I purchased the 2014 Pathfinder March 2018 with 27K miles. Oct. 2018 during starting of the vehicle I noticed excessive amount of smoke coming from the tail pipe. My mechanic checked the truck and informed me oil was leaking from the engine into the cylinders. I contacted Nissan Corp and was informed to take it to a local Nissan dealer. The dealer found the transmission was going bad, wheel barren. They returned the vehicle back to me after a week. The next day, the truck was smoking again everytime I would start the ignition. Tried to trade the truck for another make. I can't too much equity. I only had the truck for 8 months. Dec. 5th 2018, check engine light is on and low oil pressure light is on. Excessive smoke still comes from the tail pipe when the truck is started. Returned truck back to Nissan dealer for repair.

When starting to take off (going anywhere from 5-20 mph) my car shakes like it's going to stall out, the engine or transmission does not allow the car to property speedup when accelerating. I feel extremely uncomfortable and not safe. But, I don't have another vehicle to drive. I've notice other people are having this issue too, mileage on my Pathfinder is only 49,000. It's very stressful yielding on to highways and proceeding from a traffic light I was stopped at. Also, I would like to mention that I got an oil change last week. After, doing so my car smelled like burning oil after driving more than 500 miles. I took it back to them to check that everything was done properly. They told me that my oil pan is rusted out and my oil stick needs to be replaced. Because, the rubber on the top of the dip stick is wearing. He said that is very uncommon for this age of a vehicle. Please help!!

The vehicle was repaired, but the failures recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000. Consumer stated issue continued and almost wrecked over 5 times due to not accelerating. Nissan ignored it and kept stating couldn't diagnose. Then hauled the transmisson twice after repented issues. Pulling out of dealership almost got hit. Now they refuse to fix it. New transmission shop took it apart. Not repaired properly. Note: According to the error code it is hard set, meaning never repaired. Nissans own bulletin stated should not be repaired but replaced. Parts are available. Updated 10/30/18

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 NHTSA 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.

My Pathfinder has a known defect. Nissan has released technical bulletin classification RA09-004C with reference number ntb10-029C from November 16, 2015. There is a vibration or judder feeling from the rear drive train. The action required is the replacement of the electric controlled coupling. There needs to be a recall issued by the NHTSA. I am very concerned for the safety of my young children. There is a vibration or judder feeling from the rear when making turns, on dry roads, at low speeds (under 40 mph). The repair is expected to be between 3800 to 5000 dollars. The Nissan dealer said there are issues with the rear differential and drive shaft, the cvt trans axel, and removal of the valve assembly.
