I was experiencing shaking and guttering during acceleration. I was coming from a full stop (red light, stop sign). It shakes, and I have back off the accelerator. When it happened, I had my children in the car on a busy roadway. I would hate to think of what could have happened if my vehicle had stopped on the busy road or crossing railroad tracks. Thankfully, we were close to home, roughly 2-3 miles away. I took the truck to the closest service center to have it looked at. It turns out it is a cvt failure. The service technician could reproduce the same guttering I explained and received various error messages. I have not had the vehicle taken to the dealer yet, as I would have to tow it because I fear driving the truck. I didn't experience any warning lights before the cvt failure. Now my airbag warning light comes on. I called the closest Nissan dealership and explained the issue I was having. Unfortunately, my vehicle has not been repaired because I don't have the $6k plus I was quoted for the repair. I have been made aware of a class action lawsuit regarding failing cvt transmissions. I don't have any information on where I can get help with this issue, and I don't have any correspondence from Nissan. My Pathfinder has been parked since April 2023.

2015 Pathfinder will intermittently not accelerate while driving. Occurs mostly after being at a stop. Has also occurred while in motion in a 35 mph zone. The traction control light will illuminate and stay on until vehicle is shut off and restarted. This is dangerous and will eventually cause a crash.

Cruise control does not always brake when coming close to object. Abs, traction control and collision warning lights will come on periodically causes cruse control to not operate at all. First time it happened was Dec of 2020, was told by dealer it was faulty sensor and was supposedly fixed yet warning lights continue to come on frequently and cruise control will not work until car if shut of and back on. Since 2020 I have reported is to keating Nissan a few times but they say they lights have to be on when I bring it it. When car shut off lights go off and don’t always come back on right away. Car has tended to speed up on its own when cruise control is on when no need to speed up on flat straight road stretch. Last time light illuminated was Feb 1st, Jan 14 2023 although it has happened periodically since 2021 after first incident in 2020. Also warning sensor for coming close to objects in front of you when parking does not alert at all.

My vehicle has a cvt transmission problem, it would shake when driving the car, when I made turns or went down hills. On the interstate it shook so bad a had to pull over. I got stuck in the parking a lot one day, the gears were stuck. I tried to go in reverse and the vehicle was moving forward. Then I tried to put the car back into park and try to put it in drive it was still stuck. So I cut my vehicle off and cut it back on just to move. My vehicle would stall out in traffic, there would be no acceleration of the vehicle and the vehicle would jerk, shudder and pull. It felt like its going to cut off. The shaking of the vehicle terrified me the most because it felt like my tires would fly off on the interstate or any road I was driving on.

Unavailable radar obstruction notification warning, loss of cruise.

While on the highway, I accelerated to pass a vehicle and the gas pedal stuck down quickly accelerating the car to over 90mph. I used the brake to slow the car, tried to stomp on pedal and ultimately had to remove my left shoe and jam my left foot under the pedal to pull it back up. I have manufacturer installed mats positioned in the proper placing with photographs to prove the all weather mat was pushed as far forward as possible.

Abs light comes on and stays on. . . Checking for recalls seeing if our vehicle could have same problem with brake fluid leaking on internal circuit board and possible fire danger. Also, several times our Pathfinder will lose power or act as if you have shifted the transmission into neutral. This has happened at speeds from 30mph to 60 mph. Stalls and then after a few seconds it will resume speed.

On January 16, 2022, my husband and I had to be escorted off of the road by a police officer. Luckily, turning off the Pathfinder resulted in resetting whatever occurred. At that time, the vehicle would not accelerate past 20 mph and showing about 4000 rpms. This happened a few more times in our neighborhood, causing us to turn it off and restart in the middle of the road. Since then, the Nissan dealership has changed the battery, claiming that it was the only computer reading. Within two days of the new battery, it happened again to my husband in orlando. The dealership is unable to replicate the problem, and my husband and I are afraid as he uses the Pathfinder for travel with business to atlanta. These "revving" events occur randomly, and the dealership is unable to contact the Nissan engineers until they are able to replicate the problem. It's two days now the Pathfinder has been in the shop with no progress. My husband and I are afraid as this is our work vehicle and only reliable source of transportation.

The icc gives false crash warnings and automatically brakes your vehicle while driving at highway speeds, which is a dangerous situation. I believe it to be a bad bosch radar sensor which is faulty. Other owners have told me of their same problem.

Upon attempting to rapidly and fully press the accelerator pedal to the floor, the accelerator pedal broke at the point where it connects in the footwell. This occurred while highway driving at an approximate speed of 70 to 80 mph.

Unknown. Every time I drive above 50 mph the car vibrates hard and it’s audible. It feels like the engine. I had it checked out by two mechanics but they couldn’t figure it out. I had my wheels balanced, bought new tires at the mechanic suggestion. That hasn’t helped. I’m not sure if this is safe to drive and it doesn’t make me feel safe. This has been going on for months. Please let me know if they’re similar complaints and what I should do about it. Thank you.

I was driving down the road and the car wouldn’t shift into second gear. The speed limit was 35 mph and my car would only go 20 mph. I couldn’t drive home safely, no warning lights came on or anything. Dealership said my cvt transmission needs to be replaced. This sudden drop in speed became a hazard for me and my passenger.

Purchased this vehicle in February 2019. Two years later in may 2021, I was slowing down to make a turn and when it was time to accelerate out of the turn, the car felt like it lost power and even though I was pushing the gas pedal, the car seemed to be stuck and hesitating. It wouldn't go over 5mph. Brought into carmax where I purchased it from, but because there were no lights on they couldn't find the problem and the diagnostic didn't pick up any codes. Two days later the car did this again and this time it literally died as well in the middle of a busy street. This time is rattled and shook when it died. Carmax said to bring it in to a Nissan dealership. Nissan tried to get me to pay for a new engine!! said there was sludge on the oil cap and that was an indication that we never changed the oil. We change the oil every 5,000miles! carmax warranty wouldn't approve a new engine based on 1 mechanics opinions. I kept insisting it felt like a transmission issue, but they can only investigate if they have a direction via idiot lite or code from the diagnostic. So if they did the inspection and there was an issue, then it would be covered by the ext. Warranty. But if they didn't find an issue, I was responsible for inspection and labor $300+. They replaced the alternator. Car has been running great for the last 9 months until this week! the car is doing it again. Several times in a matter of 3 days the car has literally felt like it loses its power and wont go over 20mph no matter how far you push on the gas pedal. Seems to happen when accelerating from a slow down, stop, turn or an incline. You can literally feel the loss in power. Brought it to a different Nissan dealer, who said right away it sounds like the cvt transmission issue. I am devastated. I love everything about this vehicle. I am praying that carmax's extended warranty covers this and that it fixes the problem. Concerned when I read others had it fixed but still having the issue!.

Transmission problem transmission shakes badly when pick up.

I got new transmission and dealership told me I had to pay for alternator battery and fuel pump and after I got my car back not to mention the dealership stole everything from my car and my car was as till the same and they said my warranty was up and I barely drov e it around and it broke down again.

The vehicle swings left to right when cruising at about any speed. When the vehicle is pulling it does not swing or sway, however once the vehicle has got up to a desired speed and you try to maintain a steady speed it starts a “death wobble” which nearly cannot hold it on correct side of the road. You have to increase speed or reduce speed dramatically to regain control of the vehicle.

The car suddenly started stalling on the highway and would not accelerate and stuck at the same speed. The check engine light came on. This happened a few times where the car would stall and the acceleration would not work on local roads as well as the interstate thus considerably slowing the speed of the traffic upon getting it inspected at the dealership, they found the crankshaft sensor was faulty.

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.

On multiple occasions (at least 6 - twice within 10 minutes of each other), when turning after slowing down or being at a complete stop, the car seems to lose power. It will not accelerate unless your foot is taken off the gas pedal and the gas pedal is pressed down again. It a a safety concern because there has been oncoming traffic when this has happened. An accident is bound to occur. The car dealer can't isolate the issue. Their recommendation is to replace the abs module which they think might fix the problem. . The cost is $2100 for the part alone to repair what they hope will fix it. This should absolutely be a recall.

Vehicle will not accelerate when stopped at light, stop sign, switching from reverse to drive intermittently. This happens when it wants to. The brake light switch was replaced a couple weeks ago when the brake lights were noticed to not shut off and vehicle would turn on without pressing the brake pedal. Seemed to fix the situation but now again having the same issues. Bringing car back to Nissan dealer for repair. Found that years prior there was a safety recall but not for the 2015. This is very dangerous especially when pulling out in front of traffic. Car will not accelerate until brake pedal is pressed or letting off the gas pedal, then reengaging. This is in city or stopped then accelerating to ramp to get onto the highway. Brake lights stay on which is also hazardous when others wouldn't know when I'm actually stopping. The acceleration issue seems to happen when stopped then accelerating. The brake lights seem to stay on when they want to stick. The brake light is hard to turn off. Pressing the brake pedal when car is off a few times helped after 3 tries. Hard to know if brake lights are on constantly in the day but when it's darker out able to notice more.

To whom it may concern; I hope that this email doesn't fall under deaf ears and someone can reach out and assist me with my vehicle problem. This is a safety concern and needs your immediate attention. I have taken the vehicle to my local dealership who has informed me that this is a manufactory problem. I have three lovely kids that depend on their mother to drive them around. As a loyal Nissan owner, the brand history and quality is why I have been with you for years and the reason I invested in the purchase of your vehicle (brand new). My entire family has always been Nissan loyal customers for years and this has eroded our concerns in the quality and brand. My family and I have never experienced this poor quality on previous vehicles that we purchased in the past so this is why I come to you now that the dealership is unable to assist us. I hope this last effort to reach out to you and address my safety concerns. We expect that you are as loyal to your customers as your customers are loyal to you when there is an issue. My vehicle seems to shudders (jerks and stutters) during acceleration or driving for no apparent reason. It has happened several times and without warning and for no apparent reason. My local dealership inspected the vehicle and informed me that this is a manufactory issue/defect and I needed to contact you. I attached a copy of the dealership inspection. I reviewed the us NHTSA website and noticed several similar issues related to my model from various customers seem to have this problem. Please review and informed me what course of action I need to proceed. We wait for your response and hope to see this matter resolved.

Vehicle loses acceleration when driving, and even with full gas pedal doesn't pickup speed. This is very unsafe when driving and prone to causing accident or death risk. The dealer couldn't trace the issue after performing standard diagnostics. This issue is happening very frequently, with no remediation or resolution by dealers. This same vehicle has brakelight issues. The brakelights stay even though no brakes are in use and/or vehicle is parked. The brake and acceleration has to be pressed frustrating number of times before they turn-off. This issue may potentially cause on-road accident risk or drain the battery. There is no error message nor diagnostic displayed in teh vehicle.

I pulled out to turn left on a four lane city street, entered into the first 2 lanes (traffic coming from driver's side) when the car stopped accelerating and just sat motionless while cars in both lanes were moving toward me. Speed limit on that street is 50 mph. I maintained pressure on the gas, and eventually the car began to move. The next morning, I took the car to the brandon florida Nissan dealer and it was determined that the transmission had failed and needed to be "rebuilt". This is a 2017 Pathfinder with 45000 miles.
