Description of the problem | Nissan pathfinder 2013 platinum premium was purchased by me in the middle of july 2013 from nissan dealer at rt. 440, jersey city, new jersey. After driving the vehicle for about 2000 miles in a period of 3 month, the vehicle started shuddering and slowing down (decelerating) of its own. This problem became frequent. The dealer has been contacted and requested for addressing the issue but to no avail. We have made at least three visits to the dealer requesting to find the fault and resolve but to my amazement, they could not diagnose the problem and put the machine right. I am really afraid to use this vehicle for fear of breakdown or accident while in operation. It is almost a year, i possess the vehicle and the mileage i put is less than 4000 till date. I would appreciate if your good office communicate the drawbacks to the nissan usa corporate office and advise them to take steps to address the issues relating my vehicle.
