Description of the problem	Drivetrain software issue: when i bought the 2013 pathfinders, like any new owner i was thrilled. . Unfortunately there were a few things i did not anticipate. . So when my pathfinder began shuttering and shaking at 900 miles, i contacted nissan consumer affairs, who said they had no knowledge of the problem, who then referred me to the dealership service department, who with all of there up-to-date computer diagnostics could not fit the problem. The shuttering & shaking continue every few days. The more mile i put on the car, the worst the shakes and shutters became. Sometimes the car would shake so violently, that the engine would bog down and loose all power. So, after multiple trips to the service repair department, i finally got a straight answer. . Apparently, software that controls the drivetrain, and was designed to improve the vehicles mileage, actually ends up damaging the belt drive. Not something nissan was expecting, but knew about before i bought the car. What has happened to my vehicle, also was reported by other people earlier in the year. "the shuttering is actually the result of damage to the drivetrain from the glitch in the software". So if the shuttering occurs to the vehicle, the drivetrain is already damaged and needs to be replaced.
