| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2018 pathfinder in march 2018 and before i drove it off the lot the mil light came on. They took it to the service dept, said they fixed it. I drove it home and on the way home you could feel the car stutter and when outside of the car you could hear the engine misfire. The aeb light, slip indicator light and mil came on. Took it back to the dealership. They never could figure out how to fix it. They ended up finding another car like mine and i traded vehicles. Now over a year later the aeb light and slip indicator light have come on a couple times. Was told that there was a sensor that was recalled. They fixed that. Now the aeb light and slip indicator lights came on again. Called to get a service appt - days later the mil light came on. It is currently in the service department at the dealership. I do not feel like this problem should be happening already. The car is less than 2 years old. Having the same lights and problems with 2 cars that are identical is scary. There is a problem - it was not a fluke. Everytime the indicator lights come on i am driving on a highway. You can feel the car stutter and you know the lights are going to come on. Then the car jerks a little and the lights come on. Afterwards you can feel the car struggle at times - like it isn't getting enough gas. Although now that the check engine light is on the car is misfiring - you can hear it when it is idling in the driveway. |
