PURCHASED 2014 PREMIUM PLATITUM NISSAN PATHFINDER ON 10/9/13. THE SAME EVENING I NOTICED THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKING FROM STOP TO 35 MPH (2000 RPM). I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE. 4 DAYS LATER THE CAR DID THE SAME THING SEVERAL TIMES. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY CLAIM THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. 3 DAYS AFTER THAT, THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKED FROM STOP TO 35 MPH ALL MORNING. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY DUPLICATED THE ISSUE. SAID CAR NEEDS A TRANSMISSION. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE TO DETERMINE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH N…

2014 PATHFINDER WAS PURCHASED ON 5/17. ON 6/1 THE TRANSMISSIONS SHUDDERED WHILE ACCELERATING AT SLOW SPEED, WHICH RESULTED IN A LOSS OF POWER. THIS WAS REPEATED ON-DEMAND BY SERVICE TECHS AT OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP. IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THEM THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CVT ON THE 2014 PATHFINDER. THE SOLUTION PROVIDED BY NISSAN AUTO IS TO REPLACE THE 2 WEEK OLD TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ARE SO PREVALENT THAT THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER AND HAVE NO CONFIRMED DATE AS TO A RESOLUTION. *TR

IT TOOK THEM ABOUT A WEEK TO GET THE PART AND HAD MY VEHIC…

I NOTICED A VERY HIGH PITCHED WHINING/WHISTLING NOISE WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD OF A 2 DAY OLD CAR. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW AND HAD IT TOPPED OFF. THE NOISE REDUCED VERY SLIGHTLY BUT ITS STILL THERE. THEY SAID THAT THE NOISE WAS MADE BY THE ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING PUMP AND WAS AT NORMAL LEVELS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OF MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES MAKE SUCH A SOUND. IT FEELS LIKE WHATEVER PART MAKING THAT SOUND IS DUE FOR FAILURE. *TR
