Description of the problem	Purchased on december 24, 2013, my 2013 nissan pathfinder has a major transmission issue, which has not been fixed after three service calls, and ended with the transmission failing while driving at 70 mph on a very busy interstate highway. Significant safety event. On 6 jul 2014, my pathfinder? S transmission failed in the middle of interstate highway 95 over 150 miles from my residence at posted speed of 70 mph. The car started to shudder with a slight jump in rpm, acted normally, and then, the transmission got stuck in gear. We made it to the side of the road and shutdown the car. I restarted the pathfinder and regain control of the power train; as before, the vehicle drove with no apparent issue. Fifteen minutes later, the vehicle? S rpm started to exceed 5000 to 6000 rpms, cycling between coasting at high and low rpms (with no power being transfer to the wheels to maneuver the car properly), and normal ? Powered? Driving. Finally, it would not respond to fuel pedal actions. I was able to ? Coast? Through the 70+ mph traffic to the highways? Shoulder. Background. I questioned both the salesman/manager on this issue, and both stated that these early problems had been resolved, and more importantly, that my vehicle? S transmission was a newer one. The first vehicle incident occurred shortly after buying the vehicle. The problem consisted of transmission bumps and rumbles that caused the vehicle to shudder or rattle. I took the vehicle to the dealership in fredericksburg, virginia on 19 jan 2014, 4 mar, and 2 may. I was also told that this issue was not a serious problem, and that the vehicle computer would adjust to the individual pattern of the driver and that the problem would eventually go away. Nissan was contacted, and the vehicle's software was updated. The service department was confident that the problem would be mitigated by the last software update.
