Description of the problem | Driving home and going up an inclined hill... I noticed my vehicle(2013 nissan pathfinder) suddenly had a hesitation and started to judder abruptly... It happened at low speed of 20-25mph. Nissan is aware of this cvt issue and has not addressed it yet. I read somewhere that they are trying to reprogramming the cvt and seeing if this resolves the issue otherwise folks have had the cvt replaced and still in the same boat.... This is a noticeable judder at 20-25 mph on a slight incline. I am the original owner of a 2003 nissan murano with 88k and the first of its kind with cvt technology and never experienced this type of juddering issue. You would think nissan would have refined the cvt to a point so these issue would not happen.... I like the cvt technology but now i am having my doubts. |
