Description of the problem | On june 15, 2013 my vehicle began shaking while i was driving it. I took in into the dealership that day. They said there was a recall on the torque converter so they replaced it. They called me 2 weeks later to come get my vehicle. Within the first day having it back it was shacking even worse like it was going to cut off. It scared me. I called dealership again they came and picked up the vehicle. After the dealership had my vehicle for several weeks they told me they had to replace the transmission. The 2013 nissan pathfinder's were reporting issues with them and i was told i wasn't the only owner going through this problem. I should call the corporate nissan office and start a claim. I did so that day. I got a call saying my car was ready and they would drop it off to me. After two days of having my vehicle i had problem's once again. I was driving up onto my driveway and there was a incline. My engine made the noise like it was rearing up i tried it 3 times pushing down on the gas pedal and still nothing. So, i put it in park and called the dealership the next business day, they test drove it and found no problem's with it. Meanwhile i had a open case with nissan to try and buy back my vehicle because i didn't feel safe in it with my 3 children. I heard back a couple days ago that my request had been denied. They have offered me 2 more years extension on my transmission warranty. I am extremely dissatisfied. This will be my 3rd nissan owning and this is the first problem i have ever had. I am worried about this matter. I spend a lot of money for a vehicle and i expect to not get a lemon. I have been out of my vehicle since june 15 pretty much. I don't want to get stranded on the side of the road because my brand new vehicle is not reliable. |
