Description of the problem	I bought a 2013 nissan pathfinder 5/13/13. In november, i felt some vibrations when i would accelerate after slowing down to make a turn. This is now what they refer to as the "shudder" it has continue to get worse. At my service appt i brought it to the attention of the service tech after my oil change, he said it may be because my car was in "auto instead of 2wd" also there was a recall on the abs so they would do reprogram and that would more than likely fix the issue. He said it shouldn't be a big deal and if it continues acting up to let him know at my next oil change. The next time i was due for a service i was forced to go to a different dealership so i asked the service tech if he was familiar or had any other complaints... He acted clueless. So 2/26/14 it was acting up very bad, i was forced to go to gastonia because of my job and so i made an appt at the gastonia, nc dealership (which is where i purchased the car). I could not get it to duplicate. Went back to statesville dealership 3/3/14, they did the reprogramming that they said would hopefully fix it, if not they would go to next step which is to replace the torque converter or cvt. The next day, 3/4/13, my car acted up worse than it ever has. I called right then and he said bring it in so we can order parts. After waiting 1. 5 hours, they told me they could not duplicate i would have to bring to drop off. Scheduled appt to leave for 3 days, took it in after it being there one day they called and said i needed to drive it with tech to duplicate. I drove around for an hour it would not act up. I told them i would leave it, until i spoke with nissan about what to do. It happens randomly and of course it wont happen when its at the dealership. Nissan is fully aware they have an issue and needs to step up and resolve the problem rather than putting nissan loyal customers through a nightmare!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
