Description of the problem	We have a 2014 nissan pathfinder sl, with 3551 miles on it. We purchased it used on 8-6-2014 with approximately 2240 miles on it, we are the second owner. On 8-20-2014, while attempting to access an interstate from an on-ramp we experienced a shutter and strong shaking of our 2014 nissan pathfinder sl, at that time it had approximately 3336 miles on it. We were forced to pull over, almost causing an accident. We turned the car off and restarted it to continue on the interstate but did not experience another incident that day. The following six days the car began doing the same thing but it would usually be several times a day. I did research on the transmission and found that the cvt transmission is rife with problems. We took the car to the local dealership (not where we purchased it) and they ran a dynamometer diagnostics on the car and said that the transmission would need to be replaced. As we were discussing this issue the tech mentioned that the records showed the transmission in this car had already been replaced once before, at approximately 2000 miles. Also, i was informed by the dealership, who is going to replace the transmission, that they have been unable to get through to the nissan "cvt hotline" to report the problem and arrange for a new transmission. We have been told by the dealership that it will be replaced but that nissan is the hold up. It is extremely unfortunate that a car manufacturing company can get away with this and force customer to wait for a resolution when they know (and have known for years) that there is a problem. I sincerely hope that there will be a push by our government to resolve this ongoing problem with nissan and possibly a very large fine for nissan's deceptive practices by denying this problem, based on other people's reports who had reported this same cvt transmission problem dating as far back as 2003 .
