Description of the problem | I bought a new 2013 nissan pathfinder about 2 months ago with only 900 miles on it and the transmission started to have problem. After about 300 miles on the suv i started to feel the shudder/jerking when i accelerate slowly from 0 to about 20 mph. On 2 occasions when i slowed down to make a turn the transmission jerk so hard that the whole car was shaking. I did not feel this jerkiness when i test drove the 2013 at the dealer or the 1st couple hundred miles on my suv. It becomes very annoying for daily driving. I took to nissan dealer couples time and nissan dealer said that it's normal for a cvt transmission to act that way and nissan does not have a software update to fix it yet. I do not think it is normal for a brand new car to act that way. |
