Description of the problem	I purchased a new 2013 pathfinder for myself on 4/18/2013. I started noticing a slight shudder on take off from a stop in may. We mentioned this to the dealership in early june and the immediately acknowledge there was a problem with all the new model pathfinders. The fix was a torque converter for the cvt but the parts were on back order with no known eta. In late september they called saying they had the part and told me to bring it in for the repair. When i came for my scheduled appointment a couple days later they turned me away stating the torque converter was found not to fix the problem and they needed to completely replace the transmission. Again, the parts were on back order and no known eta. The transmission replacement was finally done 10/24/2013 and we started feeling the shuddering right away. I thought it was the transmission breaking in. The problem is much worse now with the car losing complete power and causing potential accidents. I have a 12 month old riding in this vehicle. We are currently requesting nissan to repurchase the vehicle because the dealership says there is nothing they can do.
