Description of the problem | We purchased our new 2013 nissan pathfinder on 03/16/13, from tustin nissan in tustin, california.. At approximately 3000 miles, the vehicle's transmission began to shutter and jerk the vehicle when driven at approximately 15 to 20 miles per hour. Initially, it occurred 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 occurrences 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 pulling out of driveways and merging into highway lanes. Its a safety issue and nissan needs to fix. Took the car to the dealer and said we can't duplicate the issue. So not sure what to do. |
