| Description of the problem | I purchased a brand new 2013 nissan pathfinder on 02/16/2013 and steering wheel off balance. 2 days later, i took the car back to henderson nissan but it was just a patch up to the problem. Today 02/26/2013 a new problem occurs when i drive at 15mph the transmission jerk cause a big vibration to the car and i'm afraid this will lead to a major problem. I purchase this car to transport my 4 years daughter and i don't want this car transmission to break down on freeway which could cause a major pile up. Please consider a safety to our family and many others family own this nissan pathfinder by investigation into this matter. Sincerely. |
