Description of the problem | Approximately two months after purchase, i began having trouble with my 2013 nissan pathfinder, noticing that it "shudders" and loses power when accelerating from a standstill or at low speeds. This typically happens between approximately 20 to 40 miles per hour. The sensation is described as being like "driving over a rumble strip" and the power loss occurs for about three to five seconds. The dealership has tried to correct this issue on three different occasions through a software update, new torque converter and even a new transmission. I dropped the car of this morning for the fourth time because the problem continues to occur and this problem substantially impairs the use of my vehicle and creates a serious safety hazard. |
