Description of the problem | Hi, i bought a 2013 nissan pathfinder platinum in may. As i have later found out, the model appears to have a shudder issue with the transmission which is affecting my vehicle as well. I reported this issue to my local nissan dealer (sheehy nissan manassas) in late august and they verified the issue. I was told parts were ordered and that my vehicle would be fixed in 1 month. It is nearly 2 months later and i am still waiting on a resolution. I monitor nissan pathfinder's facebook page, their technical service bulletins etc..... And it appears that nissan is trying different solutions like changing torque converter, reprogramming tcm, and even replacing the entire transmission...... And still no solid resolution. Furthermore, the vehicles navigation system constantly freezes or does a hard reboot. I would like guidance on what can be done to expedite a resolution or if i am entitled to have nissan buy the vehicle back if they have no resolution in sight. I am concerned about the safety impact of a continued shudder and loss of power on this new vehicle. |
