 Description of the problemI purchased this car in march 2014. It was a used platinum pathfinder with 4900 miles on it. Within months, i noticed a violent shaking when traveling at low speeds. I took it in october 30, 2014 to get the shudder fixed. I was told nothing was wrong, its just how the cvt works. So, i left. On january 22,2015, the car lost power as i was crossing into traffic on a 4 lane road. This nearly resulted in me and my children being tboned by a uhaul. Thankfully they were able to stop in time. It happened one more time on the way home that day as i pulled off from a stop light. The car gets to about 20 mph and nothing. I immediately call jerry rome nissan and told them i wanted a rental and they needed to fix my car. I agreed to bring it in the following week. In the meantime, the power loss continued to happen. After taking the car to the dealership, a master mechanic took a ride with me and i could not get the car to do it. They hooked the car up to the computer and got no codes... And they were unable to duplicate so there is nothing wrong. I have spent the past week researching this issue and i'm sure you are aware, this is a widespread, very serious issue with these cars. Nissan is negligent in continuing to sell these cars knowing the cvt is too small for this vehicle. I contacted nissan consumer affairs and they told me there was nothing i could do. Then i get a call today from jerry rome stating that they have a service bulletin about this car so they'll be reprogramming the transmission. I researched that and the bulletin they're speaking of came out nov. 2014. It's important that everyone know the scam they're running. This is corporate greed at it's finest. It's just a matter of time before some poor family gets crushed getting on a highway. Maybe that's what they're waiting for.
