| Description of the problem | Cvt transmission problems since the vehicle purchased as new on 05/08/2014. Reported to nissan dealer at regular service the transmission is jerking and bucking in early january 2017. Since then vehicle at dealer service many times once for almost 4 weeks at a streach. Multiple software and program/updates with no resolution of problem. Nissan consumer affairs not responding to calls or messages left. 8/08/17 transmission rebuilt with no correction of problem. 9/11/2017 transmission replaced with no results. As of 10/31/17 pathfinder at dealer. As per shop manager judder/jutter still present and they are waiting for nissan response. The transmission jerks and jumps shaking whole vehicle. Nissan service unable to fix after mutiple attempts over a span of 11 months. I beleive this could be a safety issue to all in the vehicle and around if transmission fails, since this vehicle is equipped to carry 7 passengers. Nissan consumer affairs and the sales department are ignoring messages. The problem happens regularly when vehicle travelling in urban roads under 40 mph speed. This vehicle purchased as new. Serviced only by nissan dealer where it was brought from. |
