Description of the problem	The 2013 and 14 pathfinder have a faulty cvt transmission that nissan can't seem to fix. The cvt will "judder" between 18 and 35 mph. It feels like riding over rumble strips. This is a problem as the car can not accelerate during the judder and it is also an unexpected behavior which could cause someone to panic. For instance, if you try to pass or pull out in front of someone, you may find the car not moving. Nissan has tried multiple fixes for this - started with tcm reprogramming, then torque converter replacement, then entire cvt replacement. Many vehicles, like mine, are on their 3rd cvt. Worse, they are replacing them with remanufactured cvts. This is a serious defect that has safety implications. I pulled out in front of an oncoming vehicle with plenty of distance/time if my car was working properly but when my cvt started juddering and my vehicle slowed, i was almost hit.
