Description of the problem	I purchased my pathfinder in november 2012. At about 1000 miles into ownership (less than a month, my vehicle started shuddering and acting like it was going to stall. When i took it in for the first service they told me they checked for it and couldn't find anything. Then they asked me to bring it back in for a computer update. It still shuddered. At the next service repeat the same scenario and they couldn't find anything again. The shudder is progressively getting worse at this point. When i took it back for the 3rd service i told the dealership again and was told the same thing again. Repeat one more time in 9/13 and they told me i needed a new transmission. A new transmission was put in on 10/7 and i picked it up on 10/8. I left for a beach 800 mile trip on 10/9 and the shuddering is still happening and now when i turn my wheels while slowing down (entering my garage/braking in a curve) the brakes will not hold and the vehicle will surge as if out of control. If i leave it running for a 10 or so minutes in park then try to put it in drive the vehicle tries to surge away from me as if i cannot control it unless holding the brakes down. Last week the vehicle jumped across 2 lanes of oncoming traffic then quit. I quickly started it again and jumped into a parking lot. The dealer picked it up and told me they could not duplicate the problem and would do anything to help me. In fact they said it was driver error. The last i heard when you press the gas the car should go and when you press the brakes the car should stop. It is now sitting in the dealer parking lot because i am extremely afraid of it. They told me it was just fine and to come and get it. I almost died last week in it and it is not safe. The dealer will not help me nor consumer affairs at nissan are helping me. No one should be driving this vehicle. So now i am out $44,000 for an unsafe car.

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
