Vehicle was taken into shop because of shudder in transmission and hesitation from stop when applying accelerator. The Nissan dealer installed a new valve body in the transmission which seemed to stop the shudder until today when it has returned. The hesitation from stop problem was not fixed and I returned the Pathfinder a second time to fix this problem but since it did not throw a code and could not be duplicated it was not fixed. The hesitation problem is an itermittent problem but when it happens the vehicle does not move forward when the gas is first applied for a second or two. I have almost had two accident because of this problem when pulling into traffic and the car will not move when gas applied. The shudder problem as returned and can be felt at around 40mph.

After purchasing the vehicle from automation Nissan dallas the transmission, cvt, failed at 2300 miles. There was no heavy use on the transmission. We have not even towed with it. This is unacceptable and the dealer refuses to do anything beyond fix this lemon. Picked up vehicle, 9/17/15 and on the morning of 9/18/15 the fuel light came on. We did not fuel the vehicle or open the fuel cap 9/18/15 the check engine light came on again and the vehicle is back at the dealer.

Potentially faulty brake system or downshift cvt or simulated gearshift system. Details: When driving in slow moving traffic with the brakes partially applied, the vehicle tends to momentarily accelerate and speed up. Concurrently the resistance on the brake pedal tends to decrease, along with a visible down-and-then-back-up jumping of RPM needle. The brake pedal needs to be kept pressed to allow the vehicle to slow down. Took vehicle to dealership (new vehicle, with only 300 miles), the technician noticed the problem I had been explaining. The technician agreed to speak with the engineer the next day. However, next day the dealership stated that they have never encountered such as issue, and it may be simply the down-shift of the cvt transmission. This is unusual in comparison to any other car I have driven. Acceleration of the car during the braking cycle is clearly odd. Potentially dangerous situation when approaching a stop sign or slow traffic zones near schools. Please investigate.
