Description of the problem	Received my pathfinder back after 15 days in the shop for replacement of abs modulator and shuttering in the transmission. Nissan service dept. Told me they did a modification to the transmission to stop the shuttering. Service manager told me there was still a shutter at around 20-30 miles an hour and that was just how the vehicle ran. Left for a 500 mile trip day after picking up for these fixes. On the hwy. It lost power on hills and shutter was harder then before. Rpm's were higher than normal which decreased gas mileage by 5 mpg. Called service dept. And they told me to take the overdrive off. Vehicle did run slightly better on the hwy. But once on surface streets it would hesitate (not move for 2-5 seconds) and then lunge forward when taking off from a stop. Other times it wouldn't move at all. When in reverse it would not move then would jerk backwards. Also would roll forward on a slight decline even when in drive or reverse. Finally on the way back home the vehicle's rpm's went to 5000 and got stuck there, check engine light came on. We pulled off the highway at nearest exit. On the off ramp vehicle stop moving. Fortunately there was no one behind us. Had vehicle towed to a nissan dealer and they said the transmission has 3 modulators that went out. Vehicle has now been out of service for more than 30 days and the transmission is back ordered. Nissan corporate has contacted me and wants to do a repurchase or replacement. Replacement would only mean that we would be getting the same defective transmission but in a different pathfinder. Repurchase means we are out a lot of money.
