Description of the problem	I purchased a 2013 nissan pathfinder the day before thanksgiving (2013). Almost immediately, i noticed a shudder (jutter) when accelerating from low speeds. The car loses power during acceleration and a strong vibration/shaking (shudder) is felt. I returned the car to the service department and was told that the transmission had to be reset. Less than one week after this procedure (dec. 2013) was done the shudder returned. In jan. 2014 the service department replaced the torque converter. By feb. The shudder had returned yet again. As of april 19, 2014 the car continues to shudder upon acceleration and has yet to be repaired because the service computer only shows "minor" error codes and technicians have been unable to duplicate the severe shudder. The vehicle is unsafe to drive as it loses power upon acceleration. This is my 3rd purchase from nissan. I have a tremendous amount of money invested in this vehicle and nissan refuses to correct the problem. I have filed a complaint with nissan, have an open case, but have been unable to speak with the representative because her workday is over promptly at 5 pm and mine is not. I have tried to contact her two dozen times, but my calls go straight to voice mail. It is clear that nissan has a problem with the cvt transmission used in the 2013 pathfinders and that they do not stand behind their product. What is it going to take to get nissan to address this issue? Do people have to be hurt or killed because of these defective transmissions, or is going to take a congressional investigation (like gm?) to get nissan to work with its' owners and correct this problem? Why are these vehicles still being sold? Nissan continues to sell these vehicles with defective transmissions to unsuspecting customers who will be burdened with unsafe vehicles which have diminished values with virtually no recourse against this automotive giant.
