Description of the problem | My pathfinder has already had the transmission replaced once and is still having issues. Since this past thursday, it has been hesitating or feeling like it is in neutral when it is in drive. I took note of the latest one today. I was stopped (on a major street) waiting for oncoming traffic to pass. It did, and i accelerated to turn left and the car felt like i had put it in neutral. It was slowly rolling but not accelerating as i crossed over the on-coming lane and continued with my left turn. I check to see if it was in drive (it was) and checked the speed (20mph) because i had brought it in last week when it did it the first three times, and they asked me what speed i was going when it happened. The time prior to that i was changing lanes on the highway (infront of a large truck) at about 50 mph and when i went to accelerate, i got the same feeling. I could have been killed! The time prior to that, i had been at a red light. When the light changed, i crossed over the first section of the red light then turned left and attempted to accelerate but it (again) felt like i had thrown it into neutral. I pulled to the side of the road for a second to let other cars pass in case it stalled on me. The first time was just when driving down the road. This has me extremely scared as in two of the situations, i could have been killed if i couldn't accelerate to move and a car plowed into me. |
