Description of the problem | From time to time, my 2014 nissan pathfinder will not accelerate on full throttle while driving. I noticed this for the first time when the mileage was around 22k, and now around 34k, it is happening more frequently. I took it to the dealership a week ago to address this issue. They changed a brake relay and did some recall-related software updates. Since then, it is happening more frequently. I almost got hit by another car in the interstate ramp as i could not accelerate. I looked up online and found that this was the major issue among the 2013-2014 pathfinders and they have recalled close to the million vehicles for this. However, according to the manufacturer's tag on my car, this batch was built after the recall date (august 2014). It looks like nissan probably have not yet found the real solution for this issue, or, their cvt transmission design is fundamentally flawed. Whatever might the reason be, nhtsa should investigate and put more pressure on them to fix it. This is definitely a safety issue... Please investigate!!! |
