Possibly related to the past year models Nissan cvt issues. 2015 Pathfinder with less than 10k miles under 2 years old transmission failure. My wife was driving on the highway with my 3 kids (4 year, 2 year, and 1 month old) when the vehicle stop accelerating. She was lucky enough to pull over to the shoulder safety. When she tried to restart the vehicle, the vehicle would not move when it was in drive mode or low gear. The vehicle however did move in reverse. My whole family was stuck on the side of a fast moving highway, without me, until I was able to leave work, an hour away, to get to their location and safety get all the kids and my wife to a safer location. Towed the vehicle to the dealership where we bought the car and they said that they have to replace the transmission. The issues may stem from the same issue in previous model Pathfinders and other vehicle models with Nissan¿s cvt in them. Less than 10k miles on a brand new vehicle. Under 2 years in age and the transmission fails. Makes me rethink if I want to keep the vehicle knowing my family will mainly be driving in it without me there.
