Description of the problem	I purchased my pathfinder in may of 2013. I loved my suv initially. Starting around july of 2014 - i started experiencing shuddering while driving. Thought maybe i needed new tires. Beginning in august - started noticing that when accelerating from a stop that i would lose power and it would stay about 20 mph & after pumping the gas pedal several times then it would kick in. It started happening more and more. This past sunday while starting to accelerate up a hill, my pathfinder just wouldn't kick in. Stayed at about 25 mph & i had to put on my emergency breaks until i reached the top of the hill & then it kicked in. Then the next day as i was merging onto the freeway with my 2 children in the car & my daughters friend, my car just lost its power. Continued to drive at maybe 20 mph even with my foot pressed all the way down on the gas pedal. This was a very scary experience for myself & my kids. We could have been totally rear ended. There are so many complaints here. Does nissan need to wait until someone is tragically killed before making steps to issue a recall? I did take my car in today to the dealership with print outs of the comments here & told them i would not drive my pathfinder & put my family in jeopardy until the issue is fixed. They did give me a rental car & contacted me by the end of the day today that they received approval to replace the transmission & will continue to do further testing on the shuddering & reason that the transmission needs to be replace on a vehicle that is a little over a year old. Please with the dealerships response. I have always driven honda's or acura's and made the mistake to try nissan. This will be my last nissan purchase! I am also posting this on facebook to spread the word about the pathfinder. Maybe that will get a recall going!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
