2013 Nissan Pathfinder complaints

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS / JUDDERS AT LIGHT ACCELERATION DURING LOW SPEED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP ON 3/19/2014 WITH ONLY 2450 MILES ON IT. THEIR TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM OF 2013 PATHFINDER BUT NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A PROPER FIX. HE ALSO SAID THAT I WAS THE THIRD CUSTOMER COMPLAINING THIS PROBLEM ON THAT DAY ALONE. HE REPROGRAMMED THE TCM. HOWEVER, TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING CONTINUES. IT IS GETTING WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADMIT THIS PROBLEM AND RECALL ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION! *TR

WHEN I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AFTER A FULL STOP, OR WHEN PROCEEDING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED, BY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. I HAVE TO LIFT MY FOOT AND REAPPLY PRESSURE TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD. NISSAN HAS CHANGED THE BRAKE SENSOR, HOWEVER, THAT MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE AN ADULT WAS IS IN THE SEAT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V138000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,800. UPDATED 06/10/14 MA

TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55MPH WHEN MY PATHFINDER SHUTTERED. I SLOWED DOWN NOT KNOWING IF MY CAR WAS GOING TO STALL. I TOOK PATHFINDER TO LOCAL NISSAN AND MECHANIC STATED HE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR & UNTIL THE SHUTTER IS DUPLICATED AND WITNESSED BY THEM THEN THEY COULD LOG IT IN. A FEW DAYS WENT BY & I WAS TURNING INTO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA THAT I RESIDE AT APPROX 15MPH & THE SUV SHUTTERED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN AND ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO CHECK OUT THE CAR AFTER SEVERAL HOURS STATED HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM & WAS NOT ABLE TO LOG IT IN EITHER. EVER SINCE I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES. AT THIS POINT I AM CONCERNED IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO EXPECT FROM THE PATHFINDER. MECHANICS ARE HELPFUL EITHER. I CAME ACROSS SEVERAL BLOGS TALKING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE & IT SEEMS THE MECHANICS ARE CLUELESS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THE PATHFINDERS ARE HAVING. *TR

THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOTICEABLY BEGIN TO MOVE UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY AT SPEEDS OVER 60MPH--IF ITS WINDY THE MOVEMENT BECOMES EVEN WORSE. I TOOK IT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT. THAT THE RAPID MOVEMENT DOES NOT REPRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE SO THE CONSUMER WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT IT. I WAS NOT TOLD OR WARNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO MY PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF IT. NISSAN CORP. HAD ALREADY NOTIFIED THE SERVICE DEPT. OF THE DEALERSHIPS THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT COULD NOT BE CORRECTED IN BOTH THE 2013/2014 PATHFINDERS. I HOPE THE HOOD CATCH AND MOUNTS CAN HOLD UP TO THE CONSTANT VIBRATION AND MOVEMENT. IT IS ALSO AN UNNECESSARY DISTRACTION AND UNNERVING TO THE DRIVER WHEN IT IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER, I NOTICED A SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS RANDOMLY HAPPENED AT LEAST 10-15 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. AFTER A STOP OR SLOW TO AROUND 10 MILES PER HOUR, THE CAR SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION. MANY TIMES IT HAPPENS DURING A TURN WITH ACCELERATION BUT IT ALSO HAS HAD THE PROBLEM DURING STRAIGHT ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM DURING MULTIPLE SERVICES BUT TECHS WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DID NO REPAIRS. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH KEEPS FLASHING AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SAYS PASSENGER AIRBAG 2 OFF. I TOOK IT TO REED NISSAN THE FIRST TIME, AND THEY DIDN'T WRITE ANYTHING ON IT BECAUSE IT DIDN'T DO IT WHEN THEY TOOK IT OUT. I TOOK IT BACK A SECOND TIME AND MADE SURE THEY WROTE IT DOWN THIS TIME. THEY KEPT THE CAR TWO DAYS AND RETURNED IT WITH A NOTE STATING THE AIRBAG HAD BEEN RECALIBRATED. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER, THE LIGHTS ARE BACK ON WITH PASSENGERS IN THE SEAT. THE MANAGER HAS TOLD ME THAT IS THE WAY THE LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FUNCTIONING. NOW I SEE THAT NISSAN IS "DECIDING" WHAT TO DO WITH THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THIS SENSOR PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAD TO THE AIRBAG FAILING. I AM PUBLICLY STATING THAT SHOULD THIS HAPPEN, IT WAS BROUGHT TO REED NISSAN'S ATTENTION, AND THEY CHOSE TO TELL ME THIS IS PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE LIGHTS. NISSAN AND REED NISSAN WILL BE HELD LEGALLY ACCOUNTABLE IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO MY FAMILY WHILE THEY "DECIDE" WHAT TO DO WITH A MAJOR MALFUNCTIONING PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER 5/13/13. IN NOVEMBER, I FELT SOME VIBRATIONS WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. THIS IS NOW WHAT THEY REFER TO AS THE "SHUDDER" IT HAS CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. AT MY SERVICE APPT I BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SERVICE TECH AFTER MY OIL CHANGE, HE SAID IT MAY BE BECAUSE MY CAR WAS IN "AUTO INSTEAD OF 2WD" ALSO THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ABS SO THEY WOULD DO REPROGRAM AND THAT WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY FIX THE ISSUE. HE SAID IT SHOULDN'T BE A BIG DEAL AND IF IT CONTINUES ACTING UP TO LET HIM KNOW AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. THE NEXT TIME I WAS DUE FOR A SERVICE I WAS FORCED TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP SO I ASKED THE SERVICE TECH IF HE WAS FAMILIAR OR HAD ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS... HE ACTED CLUELESS. SO 2/26/14 IT WAS ACTING UP VERY BAD, I WAS FORCED TO GO TO GASTONIA BECAUSE OF MY JOB AND SO I MADE AN APPT AT THE GASTONIA, NC DEALERSHIP (WHICH IS WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR). I COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE. WENT BACK TO STATESVILLE DEALERSHIP 3/3/14, THEY DID THE REPROGRAMMING THAT THEY SAID WOULD HOPEFULLY FIX IT, IF NOT THEY WOULD GO TO NEXT STEP WHICH IS TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER OR CVT. THE NEXT DAY, 3/4/13, MY CAR ACTED UP WORSE THAN IT EVER HAS. I CALLED RIGHT THEN AND HE SAID BRING IT IN SO WE CAN ORDER PARTS. AFTER WAITING 1.5 HOURS, THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE I WOULD HAVE TO BRING TO DROP OFF. SCHEDULED APPT TO LEAVE FOR 3 DAYS, TOOK IT IN AFTER IT BEING THERE ONE DAY THEY CALLED AND SAID I NEEDED TO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUTTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. *TR

WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWS DOWN BELOW 10 MPH AND IMMEDIATELY SPEEDS BACK UP ABOVE 20 MPH,OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER MAY UNEXPECTEDLY, AND VIOLENTLY SHUTTER AND EXPERIENCE A TOTAL LOSS OFF POWER. THIS HAS CAUSED POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS BY FORCING ME TO SLOW BELOW 5 MPH BEFORE CAR WILL REGAIN NORMAL OPERATION. THIS APPEARS BE AN EXTREME DESIGN FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN HAS YET TO CORRECT.

I BOUGHT MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN MAY 2013. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 15 MPH HOUR AS I WAS DRIVING INTO A SCHOOL PARKING LOT. THE PATHFINDER WAS JERKING VIOLENTLY. ON MONDAY AFTER WORK I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT , BUT I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP UPSET AS THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT HE COULD NOT KEEP THE VEHICLE BEING THAT WHEN WE TEST- DROVE IT, HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THIS TIME THEY DID KEEP MY VEHICLE TO CHECK IT OUT. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID HOWEVER, SAY THAT THEY HAD REPLACED THE THE TORQUED CONVERTED. ON THE THIRD TIME TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF SIX TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.....JERKING REALLY BAD. IT NOW HAS SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS WHEN STOPPED, I FEEL A STRONG JOLT AS IF HIT FROM BEHIND.THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD OTHER PROBLEMS TO NUMEROUS TO MENTION. I AM TOTALLY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I JUST DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE!!!! *TR

WHEN GETTING TO A STOP OR A YIELD, AS SOON AS I WOULD ACCELERATE, MY VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE. A NOTICEABLE AND VIOLENT SHAKE WHERE MY YOUNG DAUGHTER WOULD GET SCARED IN THE BACK SEAT. I WOULD THEN LET MY FOOT OFF AND THE SHAKING WOULD STOP AND THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL MOVE SLOW. I WOULD THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN. MOST OF THE TIME THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE NORMAL BUT A FEW TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD AGAIN SHAKE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER AND I WAS TOLD THAT A BULLETIN WAS ADDRESS TO ALL DEALERSHIP AND THAT MY VEHICLE WAS RE-PROGRAM AND THAT NO SHAKING SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. BUT IT DID. IT HAPPENED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. I TOOK MY VEHICLE AGAIN ON 02/28/2014 AND I WAS ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS GOING TO NEED A TRANSMISSION REPLACE ON MY NEW 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. *TR

WHEN YOU ROLL UP TO A STOP SIGN OR AN AREA THAT REQUIRES YOU TO YIELD, WHEN YOU BEGIN TO START CLIMBING IN SPEED, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES. WHEN YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS IT STOPS. IF YOU PUSH YOUR FOOT FURTHER DOWN (ACCELERATING ) IT STOPS. ALSO, WHEN YOU ARE IN OVER DRIVE, IT OCCURS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THIS ISSUE DOES NOT ARISE WHEN NEEDED, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY INSTANCES AVAILABLE FOR THE TECHNICIANS TO WITNESS WHICH THEREFORE, THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE IT, NOR IS THERE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. *TR

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER'S TRANSMISSION THAT I PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2013. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 2,800 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME, SEPTEMBER 2013. NISSAN IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AT THIS TIME. THE PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED WAS WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT AROUND 25-30 MPH AND/OR BETWEEN 40-45, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER AND ALSO GIVE THE NOISE OF "RUNNING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP." I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE IT WITH A "FIXED" TRANSMISSION. I ALSO BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD US OF THOSE WHO HAVE THESE VEHICLES A 10 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION, IF NOT A "LIFETIME" WARRANTY, OR THEY SHOULD RETURN OUR MONEY AND TAKE THE VEHICLES BACK! WE HAVE PURCHASED A "LEMON" IN MY OPINION AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FORFEIT $35,000-$48,000 (DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE A PERSON PURCHASED) OF OUR HARD-EARNED MONEY TO NISSAN. OUR VEHICLES ARE BASICALLY NOT WORTH ANY OF THE MONEY WE PAID FOR THEM. WHO WOULD WANT ONE? DO YOU WANT TO BUY MY VEHICLE FROM ME? I'LL SELL IT TO YOU. THANK YOU!

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IT WOULD HESITATE AND JERK WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THE DEALER ONLY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED SO THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THEY WOULD NEED TO TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND AS A RESULT DECLINED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 1100 MILES. RK

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN DECEMBER 2012, WE NOTICED THE VEHICLE SHAKING WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. THIS OCCURRED IN BOTH THE 2WD AND THE 4WD/VARIABLE TRANSMISSION SETTINGS. THE RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED SAID THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) CHAIN MIGHT SLIP AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO "JUDDER", WHICH IT DID MANY TIMES. THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE THE ENGINE WILL DIE WHEN STOPPING OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, CAUSING HESITATION THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER THE RECOMMENDED "REPROGRAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM)" BY THE DEALER, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND NOW ONE YEAR AND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER LATER WE WERE ADVISED TO "OPEN A FILE" WITH NISSAN TO DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM, THOUGH NO ONE HAS SAID IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED. ALONG WITH THIS COMPLAINT, WE ARE ALSO CONTACTING THE NATIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT OF NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THE "SLIPPING" OCCURS DAILY AND ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE, THIS MIGHT RESULT "IN FUTURE DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION". *TR

IT WAS TIME FOR A OIL CHANGE AND I WAS WONDERING WHY WAS IT WHEN YOU PULL OFF THE CAR STUTTERS COME TO FIND OUT IT NEEDED A TRANSMISSION AND WHEN THE GUY TOLD ME HE EVEN SAID THEY HAVE HAD LOTS OF THEM LIKE THAT SO WHY WOULD YOU KEEP SELLING. *TR

I HAVE LEASED A BRAND NEW NISSAN PATHFINDER. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A MONTH I HAD NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS ATTEMPTING TO STALL EACH TIME I MADE A RIGHT/LEFT TURN - IT WAS ALMOST LIKE GAS WAS GETTING TO THE ENGINE. ON FEBRUARY 11TH, 2014 I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR TO HAVE THE BRAKE RECALL REPAIRED ON MY CAR, AND I HAD MENTIONED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE STALLING OF MY CAR EACH TIME I MADE A TURN. AFTER THEY HAD FINISHED WITH MY CAR, THEY HAD ADVISED THAT THEY INVESTIGATED MY CONCERN AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I CURRENTLY HAVE 4700 MILES ON THE CAR, AND MY PLAN IS TO SPEAK WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN REGARDS TO POSSIBLY TURNING THE CAR IN AND GETTING A NEW TRUCK ALL TOGETHER (NOT A PATHFINDER SINCE I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THEM). I HAVE A THREE AND FIVE YEAR OLD, I FEEL EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

DRIVING CAR BETWEEN 20 MILES CAR WILL START TO BE MAKE NOISE AND IT'S LIKE GOING OF RAILROAD TRACKS AND IT LOSES SPEED. NISSAN IS REPLACING TRANSMISSION. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED SHOWING SUDDEN SHUDDER/JUDDER AT LOW SPEED (UP TO 30 MPH) IN JULY, 2013. IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. NISSAN DEALER WAS INFORMED ABOUT IT. FIRST DAY OF WINTER; AROUND OCTOBER 20 VEHICLE LOST POWER AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPED TWICE FROM STOP TO GO AND ANOTHER TIME IN LOW SPEED. SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM OF POWER LOSS AND TRANSMISSION SLIP OCCURRED 9 TIME VERY RANDOMLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO DUPLICATE IT. DEALER CHECKED THE VEHICLE 4 TIMES SO FAR AND HAS NOT FOUND ANY PROBLEM OR CODE. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAVE BEEN INFORMED. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE - WHEN VEHICLE LOSES POWER DURING CLOSE/BUSY TRAFFIC SITUATION IN A CITY LIKE PITTSBURGH, PA IT CREATES CHANCES OF GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. ALREADY NARROWLY ESCAPED FROM ONE INCIDENT LIKE THIS. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 12100 MILES. SO FAR POWER LOSS ISSUE ALWAYS OCCURRED IN COLD DAYS; UP TO 36F. ENGINE NEVER SHUT OFF IN ANY OF THE OCCURRENCES. *TR

WE BOUGHT A NISSAN PATHFINDER 2013 BRAND NEW FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AFTER 2 MONTHS ,SUV TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING OCCURRED . WE CONTACT THE DEALER SHIP AND MANUFACTURING PEOPLE THEY REPLACED (OCTOBER. )TRANSMISSION TO REFURBISHED . DECEMBER 2013 SAME THING HAPPEN BUT TOOK IT AGAIN TO SAME DEALERSHIP WORKSHOP, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. ASKED US TO GET USED TO DRIVING THIS SUV. BUT IT'S BEEN GOING ON. FINALLY WE TOOK IT AGAIN TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP WE BOUGHT THIS FROM, THEY FOUND SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE . NISSAN MANUFACTURING & DEALERSHIP FIGHTING THEIR BEST TO NOT TO REPLACE A NEW CAR OR NEW TRANSMISSION . ONLY REFURBISHED TRANSMISSION AND IT WON'T COME WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY. CURRENT MILES ON THE SUV IS 15,821.. WE REALLY HATE TO BE THEIR GINNY PIG WITH THIS SMALL KIDS. REASON I'M WRITING THIS TO YOU CAUSE, WE ARE REALLY FRUSTRATED, NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH SMALL KIDS. I HAVE 5 YEAR OLD AND 6 MONTH OLD AT HOME. WHEN I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I'M SCARED AND PRAY BEFORE WHEN WE GO ANYWHERE AND WE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE DUE TO BACK SHUDDERING PROBLEM (LOOSING POWER) . WE FELT WE BEEN CHEATED AND GOT NO JUSTICE FOR THE MONEY AND TIME WE SPEND ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK WE BOUGHT . WE ALREADY SPEND A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO SPEND ON LAWYER, SO WOULD YOU PLEASE DO SOME INVESTIGATION, PLEASE CONSIDER OUR ISSUE SERIOUSLY . MY KIDS ARE 5 YEAR OLD AND 6 MONTH OLD. WE FELT LIKE WE SPEND MORE TIME AND ENERGY ON THIS ISSUE MORE THAN OUR KIDS. ITS BR

VEHICLE JUDDERING WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED, IT FEELS LIKE IT GOING TO STALL. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN'T RECREATE. THEY CALLED IN TO MOSSY NISSAN IN NATIONAL CITY, CA TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE FOREMAN OF THE SHOP, AND THE PROBLEM RECURRED, HE FELT IT, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE COMPUTER HOOK UP TO THE CAR DIAGNOSTICS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN FOR THE SAME THING, I LEFT THE CAR THERE FOR 2 DAYS AND HEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. ALSO IT HAS A COOLANT LEAK THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AFTER 3 TIMES. THEY SMELL IT BUT CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

WE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS WHEN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN SHUTTERING WHEN WE WOULD TURN TO THE RIGHT OR WHEN WE WOULD ACCELERATE. IT WOULD ALSO LOSE POWER UPON ACCELERATION. WE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AT WHICH TIME THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER. SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING THE VEHICLE BACK IT BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING. WE TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER RECEIVING IT BACK THE SECOND TIME THE PROBLEM WAS GONE FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN CAME BACK AGAIN. A SPECIALIST FROM NISSAN CAME TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND RECOMMENDED WE REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 8 MONTHS AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP A MAJORITY OF THAT TIME. OUR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ALSO TURNS OFF AND NISSAN HAS NO WAY TO FIX THAT EITHER. NISSAN HAS GIVEN US A FEW OPTIONS, ALL OF WHICH ENTAIL US EITHER EATING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OR DRIVING A BROKEN VEHICLE. WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD WITH A VEHICLE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANY NISSAN PRODUCT TO ANY CAR BUYER. *TR

SUDDEN LOSE OF POWER ON ACCELERATOR FOR ABOUT 4-5 SECONDS ON LOW SPEED. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I COULD POSSIBLY STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLES FROM BEHIND. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED WITHIN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS WITH SHUDDERING.AT THE TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED, I WAS UNSURE AS TO WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO STALL.I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED IT TO GRAY-DANIEL NISSAN NORTH SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND EXPLAINED WHAT I HAD EXPERIENCED.THE SERVICE WRITER INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD NOT HAD THAT PROBLEM BEFORE WHEN I WAS CALLED BACK, I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. AT THAT TIME I HAD THE TECHNICIAN RIDE WITH ME.AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE TECHNICIAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE SHUDDER OCCURRED.HE FELT IT AND UPON RETURN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HE TOLD THE SERVICE WRITER THAT HE FELT IT. NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT THAT DAY.I HAD TO RESCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING IT BACK.I WAS TOLD THAT THEY RESET SOMETHING AND THAT THIS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.IT DID NOT.I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE BACK AN ADDITIONAL 3 TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF 4.EACH TIME I AM TOLD THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE IT.ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29TH, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AGAIN, I AM TOLD THAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO BRING IT IN. THE SAGA CONTINUES AND I AM STILL LEFT WITH A NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS PROBLEMS.THIS PROBLEM DID NOT JUST OCCUR IN SEPTEMBER WHEN I MADE MY PURCHASE. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE. BUT AS A CONSUMER, ARE WE TOLD THAT THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE YOU ARE ABOUT TO PURCHASE? NO. ALL THAT I BELI

WE BOUGHT A NEW NISSAN PATHFINDER 2013 IN JUNE 2013 - WE LOVE THE CAR BUT WE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. WE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER DURING A VISIT TO REPLACE A WARRANTY ISSUE, THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE IT ONCE. LATER ON WHEN WE NOTICED IT AGAIN, WE TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THIS TIME IT WAS AT THE DEALER FOR 8 DAYS. WE EXPERIENCE HESITATION, SLIGHT JERKING WITH THE CAR WHEN DRIVING ON SLOW SPEED. WELL, A WEEK AFTER WE TOOK IT BACK FROM THE DEALER WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME WE EXPERIENCED THIS VIOLENT JERKING AND HESITATION, THE CAR LOSES POWER, PICKS UP, LOSES POWER AND SO ON FOR A STRETCH OF 40-50 FEET ON THE ROAD OR FOR AROUND 4-5 SECOND OF DRIVING. MYSELF, MY HUSBAND AND TWO KIDS WERE SHOCKED WHEN WE FELT THE CAR JERKING AND HOW NOTICEABLE IT WAS! IT'S NOT SOMETHING I EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR, BUT THIS IS NOT A SAFE DRIVE. IN THIS ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, PRESS ON THE GAS PEDDLE OR SLAM THE BREAK! IF I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC (WHICH I DO FOR MY COMMUTE EVERY DAY) OR DRIVING ON ICY ROADS, I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY ENDED UP IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER SEEMS TO KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS, BUT INSISTS ON A COMPUTER READING WHILE THE CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE AND STATES THAT IF THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON FROM THE COMPUTER OR NO ALERTS FROM THE SENSORS THEN THE CAR IS FUNCTIONING FINE. HONESTLY, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE. WHAT IF THIS PROB

PATHFINDER SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY AND LOST POWER. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. EVEN AFTER A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, PROBLEMS STILL OCCUR. HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY AT RANDOM INTERVALS, CAUSING OTHER DRIVERS TO HAVE TO BRAKE SUDDENLY BEHIND US. *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER. WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WAS CHANGED AND PROBLEM RETURNED AT 3079 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE WIPERS FREEZE UP DURING SNOW AND CLOD WEATHER. THE WIPERS DO NOT KEEP THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR. *TR

PURCHASED VEHICLE WITH 3000 MILES. NOTICED THAT I WOULD MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND NOT ACCELERATE RIGHT AWAY (LIKE A LOSS OF POWER). THEN IT WOULD STOP AND ACCELERATE NORMALLY. I HAD AN OLD AN OLD CAR FOR A LONG TIME SO I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME NOT BEING ABLE TO HANDLE A NEW CAR. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM HAPPENED FREQUENTLY, AND IT IS A LITTLE ALARMING IF YOU ARE MERGING ON THE INTERSTATE AND CAN'T GET THE EXPECTED SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN 2 TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. ALL THE COMPUTER DATA COMES BACK OKAY. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE BRAKE RECALL AND OF COURSE THAT DID NOT FIX IT. THEY ARE WILLING TO FIX BUT DO NOT KNOW OF A FIX. CURRENTLY THE CAR STILL DOES THIS, MOSTLY DURING 20 MPH AND WHEN I AM GOING THROUGH A ROUND ABOUT OR TURN. *TR

TWO PROBLEMS: 1. BRAND NEW 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING TWICE. DEALER FIXED THEM THE FIRST TIME UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY HAVE STOPPED AGAIN, LEAVING US STRANDED IN A SNOW STORM. 2. THE VEHICLE LURCHES AND SHAKES UNDER ACCELERATION, ESPECIALLY AROUND 20 MPH. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT IT BUT PEOPLE CAUTION AGAINST BRINGING IT IN AS THE FIXES EITHER DIDN'T WORK OR MADE IT WORSE. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO REQUIRE MAJOR REPAIRS SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD, LIKELY OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. *TR

OUR 2013 PATHFINDER STARTED TO SHUDDER UPON ACCELERATION. IT INITIALLY HAPPENED PRIOR TO THIS MILEAGE, BUT IT WAS INTERMITTENT AND WE THOUGHT WE HAD JUST DRIVEN OVER A ROUGH PATCH OF ROAD. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE INCREASED IN DURATION AND FREQUENCY UNTIL THE CAR WOULD ALMOST STALL. YOU WOULD HAVE TO STOP ACCELERATION AND THEN RESUME FOR IT TO STOP. IT MOST FREQUENTLY HAPPENED AFTER MAKING A TURN...UNFORTUNATELY..THIS IS OFTEN AFTER A STOP SIGN WHEN YOU NEED ACCELERATION OR GETTING ON THE FREEWAY. THE ECM HAS BEEN REFLASHED, REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTERS AND A COUPLE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE FIRST YEAR. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT STARTS SMALL AND THEN RAMPS UP AS MILEAGE INCREASES. THE AIR BAG CONTINUES TO GO ON AND OFF WHILE A PASSENGER IS SEATED. THE PASSENGER IS AN ADULT OVER 110LBS, BUT THE DEALERSHIP MAINTAINS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. WE'VE DRIVEN DOWN THE FREEWAY FOR 1 HOUR WITH NO PROBLEM AND THEN THE LIGHT WILL COME ON WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING. WE'VE TRIED DIFFERENT SITTING POSITIONS TO SEE IF THAT IS THE CAUSE, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. IT ALSO KEEPS BLOWING FUSES FOR THE REAR HEATED SEATS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATH FINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO UPDATED THE SOFTWARE BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

AT 30 MILES THE CAR STARTER JERKINGS AND SHUDDER LOOSE POWER SHAKING A LOT HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO ISSUE THE PROBLEM FOR 3 TIMES ALREADY,FIX THE TORQUE CONVERTER,REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER,THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY DID IT FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT THE PROBLEMS IS THERE,CAN'T BE WITH THIS CAR ALL MY LIFE LIKE THAT,NISSAN HAVE TO FIND THE PROBLEM TO FIX THIS. *TR

TRIED TO PULL UP MY INCLINED DRIVEWAY, COULD NOT DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL RIGHT AWAY. EVEN IT FINALLY GAVE, AND I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND HIT THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I KEPT PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGED AND THE CAR SHOT FORWARD REALLY FAST. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 12/31 AND THE DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION AS BAD AND SAID IT NEEDED REPLACED. STILL IN THE SHOP A WEEK LATER. ALSO, THE HOOD RATTLES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN'T FIX IT. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON MY VEHICLE KEEPS SHOWING AS OFF WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT IN THE SEAT THAT IS OVER 120 POUNDS. THE DEALER HAS PERFORMED THE AIR BAG RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE HELPED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEEDS OF 40 OR BELOW THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE/SHUDDER. IT WILL CONTINUE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-10 SECONDS. IT ALSO APPEARS TO LOOSE POWER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT IT AND REPROGRAMMED IT BUT SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING IT BEGAN TO DO IT AGAIN. *TR

WOW, I AM ONE UPSET CONSUMER, AFTER NOTIFYING NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE CONCERN OF THE SAFETY ON MY PATHFINDER AND NUMEROUS TRIPS TO SERVICE ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS FINE. I NOW HAVE HAD AN AUTO ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAILURE OF MY BRAND NEW PATHFINDER AND NISSAN NOT EVEN ATTEMPTING TO TRY TO TAKE ME SERIOUSLY ABOUT MY CONCERNS OF THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS LAWSUIT TYPE MATERIAL AND I AM NOW HAVING TO COVER THE DAMAGES TO MY CAR AND 2 OTHERS AND PAY FOR A RENTAL OUT OF POCKET. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AND THIS HAS CAUSED ME AND MY FAMILY HUGE DISTRESS ALL FOR JUST BUYING WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE VEHICLE FROM A TOP AUTO MAKER. THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO FAULTY BRAKE/PEDAL AND THE ISSUE BEFORE WAS FOR A FAULTY ACCELERATION AND SPUDERING. WHY CANT NISSAN JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS MAJOR ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED? THERE IS OVER 200 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE THAT I INCURRED ONLY THAT NISSAN HAS NOT A DONE A THING. IF THEY DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE TO MY STANDARDS, I WILL BE TAKING THIS THE FURTHEST I CAN. THIS IS SO UPSETTING AND TIME CONSUMING. SHAME ON NISSAN FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF THEIR PRODUCT AND CONSUMER. *TR

A MAJOR FAILURE CONDITION CAN OCCUR IN EARLY MODEL 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THE COOLANT LINE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION CAN DETACH AND DRAIN WITHOUT WARNING DISABLING MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE IF NOT DOUBLE CLAMPED. THIS HAPPENED TO OUR VEHICLE WHILE EATING AT A RESTAURANT BUT COULD HAVE HAPPENED ANYWHERE. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD PARTICULARLY IN AREAS WITH EXTREME COLD CONDITIONS SUCH AS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NY WHERE WE LIVE. WE WERE LUCKY BUT OTHERS COULD BE STRANDED WITHOUT WARNING DURING VERY DANGEROUS WEATHER CONDITIONS. A SIMPLE RECALL TO DOUBLE CLAMP THE HOSES COULD HELP PREVENT ANY SUCH INCIDENTS. *TR

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER ON APPROX 6/2013 AND NOW HAVE 10,000 MILES ON IT. THE LAST FEW WEEKS WE HAVE BEEN NOTICING AT SLOW SPEEDS APPROX 25 MPH WE ARE EXPERIENCING A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS HAPPENING FAIRLY CONSISTENT NOW AT 25MPH AND UNDER A LOAD LIKE A SLIGHT INCLINE. IT REQUIRES A RELEASE OF THE THROTTLE AND REAPPLY TO GET THE SHUDDER TO STOP AND START PULLING AGAIN. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF YOU ARE CROSSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND HAVE TO RELEASE THE THROTTLE, NOT A GOOD THING! I AM NOW READING OF MANY OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME TYPE ISSUE AND THERE ARE NOW 4 SERVICE BULLETINS RELATING TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON THIS VEHICLE AND THEY ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEMS. I AM SCHEDULE FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT NEXT WEEK TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. WE HAVE BEEN A VERY FAITHFUL NISSAN OWNER OF 3 PRIOR NISSANS, BUT THIS WILL BE MY LAST! *TR

WAS PARKED AT STOP LIGHT AND PROCEEDED WHEN GREEN AND TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE TO 2ND GEAR. PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND PUT CAR IN PARK. PUT BACK IN DRIVE AND TRIED TO PROCEED AND TRANSMISSION JERKED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 1ST AND SECOND GEAR, BUT DID FINALLY TRANSITION TO SECOND GEAR. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AT LOW SPEED UP INCLINES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS THIS AFFECTED A BROAD SEGMENT OF 2013 PATHFINDERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER DID NOTHING. *TR

I PURCHASED MY PATHFINDER IN JULY 2013 AND HAVE HAD 2 ISSUES. THE FIRST IS A SPUTTERING WITH THE GAS PEDAL WHICH OCCURS QUITE FREQUENTLY UNDER LOW SPEEDS. TOOK IT IN FOR EVALUATION AND NISSAN SAID THAT'S HOW CVT TRANSMISSIONS WORK AND THAT IT WAS NORMAL. VERY STRANGE. THE SECOND ISSUE I AM CURRENTLY HAVING IS THE MOST CONCERNING. WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL THERE IS NO POWER AT ALL AND NO ACCELERATION. AT TIMES THE PEDAL CAN BE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THEN 2 TO 3 SECONDS LATER THE ACCELERATION COMES BACK. IT HAS HAPPEN TO ME IN A PASSING SITUATION ON THE FREEWAY AND WHILE MAKING A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN SERVICE TO BE EVALUATED AND THEY HAVE SAID UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE THE ISSUE ON THEIR END THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION, I HAVE 3 KIDS THAT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FROM A CONSUMER STANDPOINT. I HAVE DOCUMENTED WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THIS, BUT I MUST SAY AS THIS CAR WAS A HUGE INVESTMENT FOR MY WIFE AND OUR FAMILY WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED AND DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE WE LOVE THE CAR SO MUCH AND WOULDN'T EXPECT THIS FROM A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE READ A HIGH NUMBER OF COMMON ISSUES JUST LIKE MINE AND I JUST DON'T GET HOW NISSAN HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. IT SEEMS AS IF THE 2013 MODEL HAS A NUMBER OF ISSUES. *TR

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASION,WHILE DRIVING I GET A LOST OF POWER,EVEN THOUGH, MY FEET IS ON THE ACCELERATOR..THIS LAST FOR ABOUT SEVEN TO EIGHT SECONDS. WHEN MAKING TURNS SOMETIMES, AT SLOW SPEED, THE CAR SHUDDER. *TR

THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT REGISTERING A OCCUPANT SITTING IN THE SEAT. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST TIME DID REGISTER A AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT. THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOWNLOADED THE FAULT AND CLEARED IT AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN BRING IT BACK IN. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN BUT NOT AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT ON THE DASH. THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON FOR OVER A MINUTE. I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THE PASSENGER SITTING IN THE SEAT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND STILL NISSAN REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING BUT SAY LOOK AT THE OWNERS MANUAL FOR SAFE SEATING POSITIONS. I DO NOT WANT MY WIFE TO BE INJURED MORE AS A RESULT OF THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING. NISSAN NEEDS TO GET THIS PROBLEM SORTED OUT. AT THIS POINT I DON'T EVEN WANT THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. *TR

CAR JUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP AND WHEN TURNING. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE, AND HAS DONE IT ABOUT 15 TIMES SINCE. THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY RESET SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WELL, IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, THEY TEST DROVE IT AND SAID THEY NEVER EXPERIENCE THE JUTTERING. THEREFORE, THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NOW IT'S DECEMBER AND I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR SOMETHING ELSE REGARDING THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SOFTWARE. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS CAR AND THE SERVICE THAT NISSAN HAS PROVIDED; THEY HAVEN'T HELPED ME ONE BIT EVEN AFTER FILING A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CORPORATE. *TR

ONE MONTH LATER DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAY VEHICLE STARTED TO SMOKE HEAVILY COULD NOT SEE DRIVING, VEHICLE CAM TO A COMPLETE STOP. SMOKE BELLOWING FROM UNDER HOOD, CARS AVOIDING REAR ENDING MY VEHICLE.
