 Description of the problemMy wife purchased her 2013 nissan pathfinder on 04/06/13, from metro nissan in montclair california. The vehicle had only 35 miles. At approximately 3000 miles, the vehicle's transmission began to shutter and jerk the vehicle when driven at approximately 20 miles per hour. Initially, it occured not too often and we did not think much of it. The shuttering got much stronger as time went on and became more often. During these occurances it appeared that the vehicle lost power which caused the vehicle to slow down. This created a safety concern due to nearly being struck by vehicles a few times while puling out of driveways and merging into highway lanes. Its a safety issue and nissan needs to fix. On 10/29/13, i dropped off the pathfinder at metro nissan, with aproximately 6281 miles. I test drove vehicle with a technician. The technician observed and felt the vehicle shutter and tremble at approximately 20mph. The transmission was replaced, due to internal damage, with a new transmission. The new transmission appears to be fine but i have read numerous reviews online from around the us with similar problems and concerns. Some have had transmissions replaced and problem have continued. My question is, what is nissan going to do to fix this problem. Its truly a safety hazzard and my wife and i are concerned that the problem will return. Nissan or dealer does not seem to have solution or fix for the problem.
