| Description of the problem | I have experienced a shuddering on a brand new 2014 nissan pathfinder, which started with less than 100 miles on it. At 3200 miles it happened 5 or 6 times. Today i learned it needs a new transmission, but when i ask if the new transmission has been upgraded or if they have found a fix i am told "it is a new transmission coming from nissan" "we are not told of the upgrades, they just send us the new transmission". As far as i can tell, there has not been a resolution to the well known problem with nissan cvt transmission. I am concerned i am getting a new transmission with an old problem and no one can/will tell me otherwise. Is my car going to be safe? Where can i find out if this new transmission does not have the same problem my 2014 transmission had? |
