Description of the problem | The transmission in my 2014 pathfinder has been a problem since i purchased it. I have dealt with replacing computer components in the transmission, fixing faulty braking systems that cause the car to shutdown, and a transmission that was finally replace only to fail roughly 4 weeks later! The government should stop allowing nissan to sell any car with a cvt transmission to consumers. They are unsafe and will cause a fatality wreck due to malfunctions. Nissan refuses to replace or repurchase my vehicle even though this has been an ongoing ordeal as far back as 2015. Most recently my car transmission does not change gears properly. When i slow down and try to accelerate the car will either shudder and fail to go past 20mph. Additionally i have experienced the transmission violently jerk while driving on the highway. I had to reduce my speed due to traffic, and when i tried to accelerate the car began to make a jerking motion where the speedometer jumped to 60mph and immediately feel to 20mph. The car went through this cycle for almost one minute. |
