2017 Nissan Pathfinder Power Train

The transmission is failing. The car has about 117,000 miles on it. The transmission issue is a known problem with this vehicle and is causing safety concerns while driving it due to acceleration problems.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the CVT after identifying a transmission judder. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 89,000.

The Nissan CVT transmission on my low mileage Nissan Pathfinder 2017 with 90k miles is showing that there is an issue with transmission. it can stop working while driving and it can be an issue with safety if you are driving anywhere. it can potentially cause loss of life of my family or others.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle briefly hesitated to shift into gear, displaying symptoms consistent with the transmission slipping. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 145,000.

We have just under 80,000 miles on this & the transmission has started slipping. Pulled into an intersection after slowing (we were on the right-of-way), turned right to go up a hill & transmission hesitated. Car shuddered, then tranny kicked in & up the hill we went. We've noticed similar issues when moving from a 'slowing' motion to accelerating - highway lane changes when passing, etc. The hill thing was a stunner.

I am told my transmission needs to be replaced and I need timing chain repair kit. I had transmission service in June 2023 and our car started with a funny noise. Had oil changed and tune up and still same sound Car started to jerk really hard on accelaration after 25mpg then would catch itself up and then loose power. I took to back to place that did my transmission service and they deemed 2 parts in my transmission went out. I have only driven my car for 54585 miles. When I got it it had 48583. I have not driven the car 100000 miles ourselves and this happens. I argued with them because Ihad no problems with my car, we were trying to follow the guidlelines of service for mileage. Now we are stuck with no car and the cost of repair 10,500 that we do not have plus having a high car payment. I asked when purchasing the car about the transmission because of things I had heard but the sales guy reasured us they have fixed the problems with the CVT engines. Not true thats why with the new models they went back to the standard transmission. WE NEED HELP!!!!

Was at a light making a left hand turn, the truck went forward and stopped in the middle of the traffic on a major highway. Passengers include myself and my 6 year old daughter. No check engine light on any lights came over the truck gave no physical warning that this was about to happen. The problem was confirmed by the Nissan dealership.

WHENEVER I'M DRIVING THE CAR BETWEEN 30-40 MPH THEN RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINER MAKING A THUD AND THEN CREATE A GRINDING NOISE. THE NOISE WILL GO AWAY WHEN GAS PEDEL IS PRESSED OR THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. I HAD BEEN CONTACTING LOCAL DEALER TO FIX THIS BUT THEY WAS HELPLESS AND SAYING THIS IS NORMAL. THE PROBLEM IS CONCERNING ME BECAUSE I'M PLANNING TO TOW MY NEW TRAVEL TRAILER WITH THIS PATHFINDER AND WHOS KNOW WHAT HAPPEND WITH THIS ENGINE WHEN I TOW MY TRAILER ON FREEWAY. I WANT NISSAN TO EXPLAIN WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THE CAR AND WHAT IS THE CAUSE. THE ANWSER, 'IT'S TOTALLY NORMAL' IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I'VE DRIVING LOTS OF DIFF CAR LIKE HONDA, TOYOTA, FORD, MURANO, ETC. NON OF THOSE MAKE THIS KIND OF NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN OF ATHENS (4735 ATLANTA HWY, BLDG.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,381. *BF CONSUMER STATED THAT VEHICLE HESITATES TO EXCEL.*JB

I CURRENTLY HAVE 38000 MILES ON MY CAR AND HAVE ALREADY HAD THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP REPLACED PLUS THE LOW PRESSURE ONE. MY ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED LAST MONTH AND NOT MY COOLANT FAN IS MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE AND HAS TO BE REPLACE. I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THE ENTIRE VEHICLE CAUSE WITHIN A YEAR I HAVE HAD WAY TOO MANY PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE FOR BUYING THIS 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER! JUST A WASTE OF MONEY.

MY PATHFINDER HAD LESS THAN 50K MILES WHEN THE FAN ASSEMBLY STARTED MAKING A CLATTERING NOISE WHILE THE A/C WAS ON. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FAN WAS OFF BALANCE AND HITTING THE ASSEMBLY. IT QUICKLY PROGRESSED TO DOING IT SPORADICALLY WHILE THE A/C WAS TURNED OFF (IT HAPPENED IN THE FALL, SO WEATHER WAS TEMPERATE). AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, I FOUND OUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE OVER A FEW YEARS' WORTH OF NISSAN MODELS. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR TSB, BUT EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED IT AND DEALERSHIP COMPED MY DEDUCTIBLE WHEN I PRODUCED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JOLTED FORWARD, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NISSAN OF BRADENTON (1611 CORTEZ RD W, BRADENTON, FL 34207, (941) 755-1571) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A JUDDER CODE FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BODY BELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND, IF THE FAILURE PERSISTED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND CALLED THE MANUFACTURE 6 TIMES. THEY SAY IF IT DOESN'T SHOW A CODE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE CAR WHILE DRIVING WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY CAUSING YOU NOT TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AT THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC FOR UPWARDS OF 20 SECONDS AT A TIME.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP, THEN ATTEMPTING TO ENTER TRAFFIC OR CLIMB A HILL, THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. IT HAS A HESITATION WHICH IS VERY CONCERNING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE ALMOST APPEARS TO SPUTTER OUT. THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH ME SEVERAL TIMES BUT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AT LEAST FOUR TIMES. THE DEALER DID ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE SITUATION WITH A RECALLED PART ON THE TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER, IT IS STILL HAPPENING. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE FEBRUARY 2017, STILL ONGOING.
