Description of the problem | Brought pathfinder into get serviced october 30, 2013 at 5,604 miles as the car was shuddering when accelerating. Dealership had car and reprogrammed the transmission. On november 8, 2013, we brought the pathfinder back in for service as the shuddering continued. At 5. 945 miles they found that the transmission had failed and the dealership then replaced it. On march 25, 2014, we again had to bring the pathfinder in for service as the pathfinder would shudder when accelerating. At 10,075 miles the transmission was then replaced again due to it failing. We then lodged a formal complaint with nissan na and requesting a replacement automobile because we do not feel safe driving the pathfinder with an 8 week old daughter inside. The claim was then formally declined by nissan with no explanation except that they are extending our warranty. I am absolutely disappointed with both nissan na and the nhtsa for not moving forward with a formal recall because this is a serious issue that affects the acceleration of a 6,000 pound suv. |
