Nissan Pathfinder Change Vehicle

“VIBRATION/PULSATING SHIFTING UP FROM LOW SPEEDS”

“Sloppy CVT shifts to equivalent high gear, going downhill car/tran studdered; no hold back engine brake. After detailed discussion with Nissan in Nashville, dealer was told how to fix problem. Prior, dealer would not respond to issue. Vehicle accelerates properly now without over reving and going no where”

“Right out of the gate we noticed that the car would not shift well and was rough to go up any incline or around some sharp turns”

“the CVT tranny st-udders under mild acceleration . The dealer reprogramed it and it is worse!”

“It vibrates at times going up an a hill at a slow speed as if it it is not sure which gear to select”

“Car periodically shutters when going up hills, turning corners, and straight at low speeds. Took car into dealer numerous times and they can not duplicate the problem on hill and straight. They said it was O.K. to shutter when turning corners”

“At low speeds the transmission slips when accelerating”

“NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION TO BE NOT WORKING PROPERLY”

“Step on the gas and nothing happens, occasionally. Had something to due with the brake switch and the torque convertor”

“The transmission was replaced 08/13 and it now stutters and Nissan mechanic said I would "just have to live with it" as there is no fix”

“This past year the transmission does not respond intermittently. When u slow down and step on the gas the car does not respond. At times it will not kick into passing mode.. Must take your foot of the gas a few times and step on it for it to go”

“Recall has hopefully fixed it”

“OCCURS AT LOW SPEED. feels LIKE SLIPPAGE/NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY OR TOO LOW RPMS. Usually happens when turning or starting up hill. can overcome by manually shirting into low. Have recall notice for CVT software upgrade”

“WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR SHUDDERS LIKE WHEN YOU HIT THE RUMBLE STRIPS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.THIS OCCURS AT BEWEEN 18-23 MPH DURING ACCELERATION. DOSE NOT HAPPEN IF TRANS IS TAKEN OUT OF OVER DRIVE RPM ARE HELD ABOVE”

“The transmission was replaced with ~5000 miles. The transmission computer was replaced and reprogrammed ~10,000 miles. Since then the transmission has become much more reliable but incidents still occur”

“The transmission started shuddering at 8,000 miles. At 20,000 miles the car became undriveable and we took it in and were told we needed a new transmission. The mechanic said that some Pathfinders needed a 2nd and even 3rd transmission replacement”

“Shuddering under load (hills) when starting to move. Dealer visit 3 times, last time under recall, replaced portion on transmission related to issue, covered under warranty”

“CVY transmission has rough spot (chudder) around 1,800 rpm”

“seemed to be between gears however it is a cvt. Eventually problem fixed after many months and visits with computer updates”

“When slowing to a yield and accelerating again the gear wouldn't switch out of overdrive causing an extreme shaking. The only way to get it to switch is to turn of OD or floor it”

“Even though there have been many transmissions replaced...mine was not "bad enough"...so I am living with the problem”

“needed an update from the company”

“Would not shift in 4wd”

“I have had two transmissions replaced. The second just happened this week”

“TRANSMISSION MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED”

“The transmission experienced "shift" issues within the first 10,000 miles. The CVT system was reprogrammed several times. The transmission was eventually replaced in April of 2016. This has resolved the issues”

“We took our Nissan in for an oil change, and we were told they needed to replace the entire transmission. There was a recall. I appreciate the pro-active approach, but it is disconcerting to learn the transmission is not reliable. They warranted the replacement transmission for 12 months only...really?”

“The transmission failed very early for this vehicle. A local automotive repair shop pinpointed the problem and the dealer took two tries to get it right. The work was covered under warranty”

“4 wheel drive would not stay engaged. Upon inspection, service department determined that the CVT assembly needed replacement. Was replaced under warranty”

“We bought this pathfinder new and love it. The bummer is that it has had to have the transmission replaced three times. We fall into the category of being included in a class action law matter that is not yet settled”

“Installed 5 rebuilt transmissions in the last 18 months, due to "judder"; vehicle is dangerous, fails to accelerate when making turns”

“Had to have the transmission replaced after one month of ownership”

“Vehicle surges.at low speeds and at 40 to 45 mph ,also it jumps out of overdrive at times. Replacement did not fix problem”

“it just fsailed”

“transmission had problems from the start. kingston nisson dealer said vehicle was ok. after numerous times in the shop at 7000 miles they replaced the transmission”

“Experienced "shuddering" at slow speeds upon acceleration and randomly at speeds 20-40mph, car felt as if it would turn off”

“Nissan ended up replacing the transmission, transfer case, and resetting a computer after multiple visits”

“Transmission shuddered at low speeds. Nissan tried to fix initially by replacing a part, but that didn't fix the problem Transmission was replaced under warranty and I have had no problems since”

“Transmission began to slip when car was 3 months old”

“Transmission replaced after 1500 miles due to slippage. Second transmission installed after 3600 miles due to slippage. NO problems since second transmission installed”

“The transmission started shuddering at 8,000 miles. At 20,000 miles the car became undriveable and we took it in and were told we needed a new transmission. The mechanic said that some Pathfinders needed a 2nd and even 3rd transmission replacement”

“Plagued by transmission shutter that was attempted to be fixed via reprogramming of the transmission computer. Then began experiencing the transmission completely missing when turning or attempting to accelerate from a stop or a slow turn. It was as”

“Roof rubber trim comes loose. Replaced by dealer 2x. Still comes loose after a few months”

“roof rack rails keep breakingoff”

“Dealer failed to fix after 2 visits to dealership”

“A piece of molding came off. Contacted dealer and found out it was a recall item but we had not been notified. Dealer installed new molding. Splash guard cracked at connection point to vehicle. Have not contacted dealer yet”

“Roof rack water channel dislodge from vehicle”

“Exterior weather stripping failed and started pealing away. Had to be replaced twice by dealership under warranty”

“noise everytime drove car. Took them 3 tries to fix it--busted seal”

“Both roof rack moldings failed and were replaced”

“the problem is the paint. Seems soft and scratches very easily”

“the small rubber moulding underneath the roofrack was split and would come out at highway speed. The dealer eventually replaced it”

“Paint has many chips, especially on the front and hood. Contacted dealer, they responded that this is due to the type of paint on this vehicle. Will not buy Nissan again, my 15 yr old Toyota has less paint chips. This is very poor paint quality”

“Not a very good paint job or reliance”

“WIthin months of bringing the car home, the driver side door paint was bubbling off and rust was there. They fixed it under warranty, but it gives me concern for the rest of the car”

“Paint cracked and lifted on front bumper above wheel wells”

“I had problems with rail dust embedded in the paint starting to rust on the tail gate and rear of the vehicle. I had to deal direct with Nissan CA to get it addressed as the dealership refused to do anything about it”

“There are several areas of rust near the window in the rear hatch. The rust is not caused by any paint damage (i.e. stones or dents)”

“Bubbling...rust on hood edge”
