I am having problems with the cruise control on my new Nissan Pathfinder 2014. 1. cruise control intermittently disengages going down a shallow but straight road. In a 3 to 4 mile driving stretch, it will, at times, disengage 2 to 3 times. 2. the 'set' and 'resume' toggle switch at times then does not re-engage the cruise control. The switch acts dead. I then have to switch off the cruise control and then switch it back on to have the toggles switch work but not always. 3. the cruise and set indicators on the instrument panel do not flicker. The Nissan dealer carried out a test run and found the cruise control disengaging exactly as stated above. They replaced part #25550-3ks1A, switch assembly-ste, to resolve the problem but it did not. They reiterate that such a condition of cruise disengagement as stated in the owner's manual is considered normal and acceptable. Having read the owner's manual, I do not find any mention of the toggle switch intermittently acting dead after disengagement of the cruise control nor the high frequency of the disengagement. This condition is causing me to concentrate more on the instrument panel rather than on the road. I am repeatedly unsure whether the cruise is engaged or not. This distraction could result in a fatal accident. It''s like texting while driving. Either way, the end result would be an avoidable fatality(s).this condition clearly amounts to a road safety hazard. The manufacturer, by merely stating that the cruise may disengage driving down in hilly terrain cannot absolve itself of the responsibility for the safety of the occupants of the car. Such high frequency of cruise disengagement and toggle switch failure cannot be considered normal. More than likely a software design problem.

Since 10/12/13, the vehicle has experienced violent shuddering and loss of power. When the vehicle is brought to the Nissan service department it is always unable to duplicate. We continue driving the vehicle and it gets worse. Finally after it becomes almost unable to drive Nissan admits there is a problem and replaces the cvt. We are now on our third cvt since we purchased the car on 7/22/13. We have to travel a two lane mountain highway and it has happened several times and due to losing power going uphill we have almost been hit on numerous occasions. It has also happened on the freeway. It has happened at a busy intersection and the car completely lost power and the car behind us slammed on their brakes and swerved to avoid hitting us. It has happened at speeds from 30 to 60 mph. I am gravely concerned for my family's safety, we also have a newborn and I am scared to have him in this car but I have no choice. I honestly feel that it is a matter of time before we are hit due to these issues. Nissan continues to deny this is a safety concern.
