2014 Nissan PATHFINDER Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Brand	NISSAN
Model	PATHFINDER
Model Year	2014
File date	11/02/15
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Multiple times when making a right or left turn in awd when moderate to forceful acceleration is required to make the turn or be hit by oncoming vehicles. From a dead stop, a turn is executed and the accelerator is depressed between half-throttle and full-throttle. The vehicle responds normally at first but about 1-2 seconds into the turn the powertrain cuts out and will not accelerate to more than a crawl. This can last up to 6 seconds and puts the vehicle in jeopardy. I have experienced this on multiple occasions and have narrowly escaped collisions several times. When this happens, i have tried different things in order to get the car to respond. None of the following has worked: releasing the accelerator and reapplying (pumping). Giving and holding full throttle. My uneducated opinion is that this is a software glitch for the cvt. I think that the transmission assumes that there is wheel spin upon acceleration (although there is none) and the anti-skid software reduces engine power to prevent wheel spin. This has put me in life threatening situations. I reported it to nissan at the first complimentary oil change and was told that it was nothing to worry about. When i pull out in front of a speeding 18-wheeler, i worry. I feel that i cannot depend on reliable acceleration in normal traffic conditions. The condition is difficult to repeat on-command.
