 Description of the problemVehicle shuddering. My 2013 pathfinder has had transmission shuddering for the past 4 months with no resolution. I have made 4 trips (for the same complaint) with the following results. 1) nissan knows of the problem, will be notified when a solution is found, last week of may 2013 2) unable to find issue june 2013 3) made a call to nissan customer service and a new visit was scheduled, on third visit the problem was duplicated but was told to wait results on current vehicles having had their torque converter and transmissions being changed. 4) on the 4th visit 9/7/2013 (due to a new metal stress noise coming from vehicle at low speeds) after duplicating the issue was told that the noise is also coming from the transmission assembly and that dealer is waiting for fix from nissan. Originally the only solution was offered to "push the gas pedal" to get out of the shuddering. As a driver you're not always able to just push the gas pedal, specially at the speeds that this issue happens, as you may have another vehicle in front of you... And other vehicles behind you may just increase their speed believing you're doing the same and may, as a result, rear end you, because your vehicle is slowing down instead of speeding up. Another major safety concern is the breaking down of a transmission, specially during cold winter months and since a fix is not yet available makes for a potential accident waiting to happen. Nissan does also say "they don't deal with lemon laws" and to other customers, have denied buybacks. As of september 2013 i have a vehicle with transmission shuddering, transmission metal noises (stress noises) and no solution... Which makes the number of attempts to bring the vehicle back for repairs useless because nissan repair facilities are telling me "we have our hands tied".
