Description of the problem | I purchased a 2013 nissan pathfinder sl. The vehicle shudders and vibrates excessively from 20 to 30 mph and at low rpm's(1000 to 1,500 rpm's). Also, the vehicle has begun to shudder like this at speeds up to 50 mph. I tried switching to 2wd and to full time 4wd mode but without luck. I also tried to switch off the overdrive also without luck. The service advisor at the dealer told me that this is happening with all of the pathfinders and that these new cvt transmissions operate this way. I asked to speak to the service manager, who repeated everything the original advisor stated, but stopped short of saying it is 'normal' for the vehicle to perform in this fashion. He also told me he is driving the same model as me and that he has gotten used to the vibrations. I hope nissan comes up with a simple fix for this problem, until then i am unpleasantly surprised. |
