Description of the problem | 2013 nissan pathfinder shudders at low speed or accelerating from stop position. Have taken vehicle to dealer several times (12) since sept 2013. Replaced transmission 3 times, transmission software update performed twice. Each time afterwards i was told some made up story from it's working fine now to you must have been spinning your tires on the wet roads. I took videos of the violent shuddering and loss of acceleration to the service dept and was told there is no fix available for this transmission issue and to drive it as best you can. 55k for a new car to drive the best i can!!!??? Contacted nissan corporation to file a complaint, after 5 days was denied any relief. Contacted a lemon law attorney and filed a claim. Within 2 days of nissan being notified by the attorney, they were willing to settle. I received a full buy out and refund of all deposits and monthly payments. God riddance!!!! Buyer beware! |
