Description of the problem	The transmission has given me problems for the past year and a half. Initially when i took it to the dealership they said they could not recreate the problem. When accelerating from a complete stop the vehicle would shudder and struggle to get into a higher gear. The car would go slower than it should based on the pressure applied to the gas pedal. This shuddering would also occur when accelerating on the freeway. I could be going 55mph and then needed to merge or pass and when the gas is pressed a strong shudder would occur sometimes feeling like the car would stop at any second. I mentioned this to the dealer two more times. There were some software updates and eventually, last july, they said i needed a new transmission. A 2 year old car with approximately 40k miles. That is unheard of. After the transmission replacement things seemed to be working fine. Every now and then i would feel a slight shudder but wasn't sure if that was actually occurring because of what i was used to before. Well it definitely was and got noticeably worse. When accelerating from a complete stop the car would move and seem to be stuck in gear. I could push the gas pedal down to the floor and would go no faster than 20 mph. This was a problem as i was in traffic numerous times when this occurred. I took it back to a different dealership and they said it was a software update that was needed. The update was applied last week and the problem has gotten worse. Accelerating from any speed whether from 0 or 55 the car gets stuck and doesn't go any faster, this happened several times in one day on the highway and luckily no accident occurred. The car is now back at the dealership. I have a family with 2 small children and am afraid to put my family in the car. Nissan has really disappointed me with this and it seems this is an ongoing and known issue for 2013 pathfinders.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
