Vehicle Shudder problems of the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder

My engine is loosing power when driving. The car shudders(lose power) and then it has delayed engagement. Since the first time it happened it continue to happen intermittently.

2014 Nissan Pathfinder hybrid. My vehicle failed to accelerate after stopped at a light; car shakes like it's going to stall out; car shakes when going at low speeds and lightly pressing the gas pedal, it seems as if the transmissions tries to shift but the gear doesn't go in. My vehicle shifts into od on its own. Also steering wheel doesn't feel right. Lastly, trunk closes abruptly after opening; has fallen on my head several times.

Vehicle shudders / shakes when driving 30-45 mph. Feels like not shifting properly.

Car shakes when going at low speeds and lightly pressing the gas pedal, it seems as if the transmissions tries to shift but the gear doesn't go in. The car consumes more gas than usual, and it feels very heavy even when flooring the gas pedal.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle shuddered and the rpms increased and decreased. The contact stated that the failure occurred twice. The vehicle was taken to vallejo Nissan (3287 sonoma blvd, vallejo, CA 94590, (707) 656-4483) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced for the third time. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

When starting to take off (going anywhere from 5-20 mph) my car shakes like it's going to stall out, the engine or transmission does not allow the car to property speedup when accelerating. I feel extremely uncomfortable and not safe. But, I don't have another vehicle to drive. I've notice other people are having this issue too, mileage on my Pathfinder is only 49,000. It's very stressful yielding on to highways and proceeding from a traffic light I was stopped at. Also, I would like to mention that I got an oil change last week. After, doing so my car smelled like burning oil after driving more than 500 miles. I took it back to them to check that everything was done properly. They told me that my oil pan is rusted out and my oil stick needs to be replaced. Because, the rubber on the top of the dip stick is wearing. He said that is very uncommon for this age of a vehicle. Please help!!.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving between 15 to 40 mph, the vehicle shuddered and failed to accelerate properly. The vehicle was taken to m'lady Nissan (5656 northwest hwy, crystal lake, IL 60014, (815) 459-2288) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was called and they agreed to cover half of the repair cost. The repair had not been completed. The contact stated there was a class action lawsuit that caused the manufacturer to extend the warranty from 60,000 to 84,000 miles. The failure mileage was 95,000.

Nissan issued a "campaign" due to a class action lawsuit settlement where the cvt transmission was malfunctioned which cause shuddering in the vehicle. The vehicle would shake while driving at 20mph. After bringing the issue to the attention of the dealership they could not determine what was wrong with the vehicle. On 2/28/17 the vehicle completely immobilized on the interstate in the middle of traffic nearly causing a tragic accident involving both myself and my children. Nissan failed to send correspondence advising of the ctv update which caused the issue to go unresolved and ultimately causing the fail of the transmission. This issue should be rectified with models containing the ctv transmission. Nissan has just advised the total cost of repairs would cost me a total $4,800. 00 for their negligence of sending the proper correspondence regarding the campaign. They should buy back this car and all others like it as this can cause tragic accidents.

The transmission in my 2014 Pathfinder has been a problem since I purchased it. I have dealt with replacing computer components in the transmission, fixing faulty braking systems that cause the car to shutdown, and a transmission that was finally replace only to fail roughly 4 weeks later! the government should stop allowing Nissan to sell any car with a cvt transmission to consumers. They are unsafe and will cause a fatality wreck due to malfunctions. Nissan refuses to replace or repurchase my vehicle even though this has been an ongoing ordeal as far back as 2015. Most recently my car transmission does not change gears properly. When I slow down and try to accelerate the car will either shudder and fail to go past 20mph. Additionally I have experienced the transmission violently jerk while driving on the highway. I had to reduce my speed due to traffic, and when I tried to accelerate the car began to make a jerking motion where the speedometer jumped to 60mph and immediately feel to 20mph. The car went through this cycle for almost one minute.

Vehicle has a defective cvt transmission. Vehicle shakes or jerks upon changing gears, during acceleration or slowing down. Vehicle is also slow to accelerate upon take off, putting me at risk for other car to crash into me. Vehicle max speed is 50mph. Mechanic states cvt is faulty.

Bought 2014 Nissan Pathfinder new. About 2 weeks ago car began shaking upon acceleration both in drive and reverse. On 1/21/2017 car became stuck in 1st gear and upon stopping at a red light, car did not move at all. Car was towed to dealership and today was diagnosed with needing a completely new transmission.

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.

Tranmission cvt issue. . While driving at low miles 5-30 mph. . Car will shake shudder . Jutter shutter almost like a washing machine shaking. I did some research and it looks like I am not the only one having this issue. . . I checked my car for recall of issue and found out that it is not listed!!! how can I get this problem fixed ? it makes me feel very unsafe . . I bought this car because of the size and since my wife is pregnant and having a child. . We are afraid to drive the car now since it has this issue with the transmission.

The vehicle started shuddering and shaking while driving and when I accelerated would hesitate and after a few seconds would move a little slow with continual shaking and shuddering. Once stopped and parked I tried to the vehicle back on the check engine light would come on with the battery and wouldn't start. The vehicle was towed to Nissan where they said it was the induction air flow , ecm, and cost $400. After leaving Nissan I had to take it back the next week for the same issue. The service manager drove it and said that he thought it was the transmission and that the 2014 are known to have problems. He said to bring it back in the next couple of weeks. I took it back again after being stranded 3 times, almost hit several times and once by a semi- truck when it shuddered and would not accelerate. Nissan confirmed that it needed a new transmission because it was defective. They want me to pay $4000 because it has 80,000 miles on it. I filed a consumer complaint with american Nissan corp and they told me that there was nothing they could do because it was out of warranty. The vehicle was bought brand new. Nissan knew that the cvt was defective when they sold it. They sent out a service letter to their dealerships about the issue in September 2013. This is very dangerous and is going to cost someone their life. Nissan should backup their vehicles. A two year old vehicle should not need the transmission replaced. Especially a $40,000 vehicle. This is extremely dangerous, and theft by deception.

Brakes are prematurely worn and makes noise. At times the vehicle shudders unexpectedly which leads to pulling off the road to inspect the vehicle.

At slow speed car started shaking in hot weather with a/c on.

I purchased a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder as used vehicle in September 2015. Since purchasing the vehicle my wife has complained about the vehicle shuddering at low speed or when turning. This shuddering has become more frequent and now happens when the vehicle is cruising down the road. We have also noticed that the passenger airbag will show that there is no body in the seat even when there is someone sitting in the seat. The first time we took the vehicle back to the dealership the mechanic was not able to experience the issues that we had communicated to them ad dismissed our claims. Contacting dealership 6/6 to have vehicle issues checked again.

I purchased a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder as a new vehicle in October 2015. Since purchasing the vehicle I noticed the vehicle shuddering at low speed or when turning. This shuddering has become more frequent and now happens when the vehicle is cruising down the road. We have also noticed that the passenger airbag will show that there is no body in the seat even when there is someone sitting in the seat. The first time we took the vehicle back to the dealership the mechanic was not able to experience the issues that we had communicated to them and dismissed our claims. Will be going back to the dealership to discuss shuddering issue as it feels like the transmission is going to fall out.

Transmission failure- my vehicle has had a shudder when turning and at low speeds since day one, and it was purchased brand new. It now has 38,000 miles. Each time I brought it in for the shudder, the dealer would blame it on some 'other' issue. Since I bought the car, I have replaced the tires 2 times at the advice of the dealer (yes, they tried to blame it on the tires) and have had the brakes replaced at their advice. None of that fixed the shudder. I've spent a few thousand dollars proving that. Last week it was at the dealer for 4 days, and they admitted there is still a shudder, which is constant and gets worse when going uphill, but said it is because my tires are "square". Brand new tires they just talked me into buying. They told me there is nothing more they will do and asked me to come get my vehicle . This is the fourth dealership my car has been to. I picked up the vehicle and not 2 blocks down the road at about 10 mph it started violently jerking and no amount of gas would make it go. It stalled in the middle of the road, with my baby in the back seat. It did the same thing several more times on the way back to the dealership. Their mechanic drove it and again, it immediately jerked violently as he first pressed the gas pedal- he did not experience it stall (or said he didn't ). Now they admit it is not tires and said they need the computer to verify that there is a problem. They won't fix it unless the computer says there is an issue, even though it is not drivable. Nissan corporate called me today to say the computer says there is no issue and told me I have to return the loaner car and pick my broken down Pathfinder back up. No repair will be performed, since the "computer" isn't getting a fault code. So I am stuck with a $40,000 hunk of junk that I can't drive or even sell. Corporate even said that if it is not drivable, I should tow it away.

My Nissan is having the same transmission problems that have been granted recalls but I mine isn't eligible for recall according to Nissan. My vehicle shudders when I accelerate and my mechanic can't tell me what's wrong with it.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving at low speeds, the vehicle vibrated and hesitated when attempting to accelerate from a stop position. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.

Vehicle began to shudder and nearly stall at low speeds. Vehicle would lose all power, and then suddenly surge. Vehicle returned to abeloff Nissan (broadheadsville, PA) , and the mechanic was able to verify the issue. Nissan identified the issue as the cvt transmission and replaced the transmission. On 02/05/2015 this same loss of power was experienced while driving at low speed. My wife was entering roadway and vehicle lost power, nearly causing an accident. The vehicle was taken to the ken pollock Nissan dealership in wilkes- barre, PA , and they were eventually able to duplicate the loss of power. Nissan-USA advised the dealership to replace a brake light switch as the brake lights would not go off when parked. I picked up the vehicle from the dealership on 02/16/2015, and the next day the same loss of power occurred three times on a five mile trip. Nissan -USA was contacted and a complaint filed. Nissan has not been able to correct the problem, and have refused to buy back the vehicle. Nissan continues to sell this model year, and I believe this is a major safety issue , and needs to be addressed.

Accelerating from stoplight across highway when transmission begins to violently shake the entire vehicle. Released accelerator pedal to stop violent shaking. Reapplied pressure to accelerator pedal to keep vehicle behind us from smashing our vehicle. This exact same scenario has occurred over and over again in the last 4200 miles. This exact violent shaking (juddering) has also occurred when accelerating onto the highway. Nissan corporation is fully aware of this issue and refused to fix my vehicle. The Pathfinder transmission has a design defect that is a serious safety issue.
