CommentJerks at low revolutions
Nissan Pathfinder 2015 5000 miles
I have bought the new Pathfinder at the beginning of the year and it already jerks at low engine speeds. The gearbox has been changed twice and, even though the failure is not as hard as it used to be, it is still there.

How can Nissan get away with this... we have the same issues in Australia on a new car under 25k and it seems the replacement of the transmission is not a 100% fix. What next?
Im not sure whats wrong with yours? My pathfinder is on 01 and between second and third gear if im not getting on the gas it kinda slips. They said its a cheap fix a flipper valve
My gearbox was replace twice within the first 30000k has now done 60000 and the issue has not come back lets hope it stays that way. Nothing is cheap about the gearbox even the valves will require a major labour work.
CommentIntermittent Limp Mode / No Acceleration Issue
Nissan Pathfinder 2013 Model S 97000 miles
“It started with the battery light coming on. I replaced the battery and the alternator. Now the battery light no longer comes on, but all the other dashboard lights do, and the problem still persists. While driving, I lose power: the RPMs go up but the vehicle won’t accelerate. Multiple systems stop working (radio, A/C, power steering, etc.). If I turn the vehicle off for 30 minutes or more, the issue goes away, but it returns sporadically. Sometimes after restarting, the dashboard lights are off but it still won’t accelerate. ”

CommentPower loss and stalls
Nissan Pathfinder 2014 20000 miles
Since my car reached 10000km, it has been presenting several problems: power loss, tries to stall and even jerks. It is dangerous to drive it at low speeds. No solution has been yet found.

If your car is equipped with CVT transmission then go to your nearest dealer to replace the CVT. For your information this should be covered under warranty
