In owners' own words
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving various speeds, there was a knocking noise coming from the transmission. The vehicle was taken to brown dallas Nissan (45155 towlern pl, sterling, va 20166) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000. Power train · reported at 42,000 miles
Twice on this date I was completly stoped first time at a red traffic signal after the light turned green I began to accelerate and my vehicle shuttered for a few seconds and did not increase speed'second time after refueling vehicle restarted engine selected drive on transmission tapped gas and vehicle shuttered without increase in speed. Both ocacions road surface was dry and vehicle was in drive 2 wheel drive Power train · reported at 31,950 miles
After 2 days of purchasing this vehicle I traveled out of state and the car started jerking after making a stop and resuming speed. I had to drop off at a nearby dealer and had to rent a vehicle to get back home. They have not fixed the problem yet but I think it will end up being transmission failure. I am very disappointed with Nissan. It is the second car that we get and have the same problem. Power train · reported at 17,700 miles
