Bought a 2014 Model from Micheal Jordan Nissan in Durham, NC in Oct. 2013! Was told by sales person that the transmission "sudder" issue was fixed on the 2014's. At 1500 miles the sudder issue started happening at around 20 MPH. Took it back they said needed a new transmission. Work with Nissan corp. for 2 weeks and they would not give me a new vehicle or my money back!! Would anyne in their right mind want a brand new SUV with 1500 miles on it with the transmission already replace? DON'T THINK SO!! I'm stuck with this piece of crap because can't trade it and will lose $6000.00 on it and differently can't sell it. Nissan stinks and NEVER AGAIN will I buy another one!!! Honda or Toyota!!

Here we go again!! In October of 2013 I purchased a brand new 2014 Nissan Pathfinder from Michael Jordan Nissan in Durham, NC. At 2000 miles the transmission did the shutter thing and the transmission was replaced by Michael Jordan service department. Case #15450446 was opened up by Nissan Corporation (useless individuals). I wanted my $32,000 back or a brand new Pathfinder. Corporation would not budge one bit other than upping my warranty on the transmission to 100,000 miles. Still was extremely mad because who wants a brand new car with transmission taken out already at 2000 miles. No way I could sell it! Well guess what, at 18000 miles that transmission went out and this time my wife barely made it to Michael Jordan Nissan without it breaking (making all kinds of noise) down on her. Still corporation would not budge one bit! Service department replaced transmission again and wife was always scared to drive it far on a trip because she was afraid it would break down on her. Well guess what, at 46000 miles that transmission is in Michael Jordan service department right now getting replaced. I’ll be on my 4th transmission at only 46000 miles on car. Case# 20757949 is now opened up and I’m waiting on a response back from them. They better give me my money back or a brand new 2016 Pathfinder. If not, then it might be time to start seeking for a lawyer.

This is the worst car I have ever owned. It has the shudder problem at 28 mph. Third time taking it in tomorrow. They say they cannot duplicate the problem so there is nothing wrong with it!! So frustrated with this car. Do not recommend anyone to buy this car.
2014 Pathfinder SL Transmission problems

I've read many reviews and problems with the 2013-2014 Pathfinder. Sad to say, I now must join the crowd. Bought a 2014 Pathfinder SL new, started judder/shutter @ 10,000 miles. Took to dealer for a "reprogram." Shudder/judder again at 20,000 miles. Took to dealer for a "new/rebuild" CVT transmission (under warranty). 60,000 miles later, sudder/judder has returned. Dealer is saying we need yet another transmission, and it's OUT of warranty. Why would I want to sink $3,500-$4,000 into ANOTHER nissan pathfinder transmission? Almost 90K miles, taken to dealer 3x for transmission problems. Sadly, this has ruined me from buying another CVT Nissan. The dealership was great, and we loved the SUV, size, and design but can't handle the transmission problems again.

Buyer Beware- Failure to Disclose Safety Issues

I continue to receive requests to "update my review," but I stand by what I posted originally. Working with Nissan was the worst experience ever. Their refusal to address my valid concerns will not be forgotten (September 23, 2023). Their deceitfulness in not disclosing known transmission issues and transponder key "dead zones" could have resulted in the loss of life of my children. As I attempted to resolve this matter, by just wanting to exchange the vehicle, it was ignored. I even attempted to reach individuals at the corporate level and my messages were blocked. Even one of the Nissan Dealers admitted that Nissan knew about transmission issues yet, rushed to get the product to market. Please stop harassing me by asking me to "update my review." My opinion of Nissan/Infinity is forever damaged. To this day, no one from the company ever reached out to me. Even though I have received multiple requests to "update my review," I stand by what I posted originally. Working with Nissan was the worst experience ever. Their refusal to address my valid concerns will not be forgotten (March 23, 2023). My Original review that they keep asking me to change...."Had multiple issues with my 2014 Pathfinder SL. Needed a new radiator, new transmission, new software, and new fuel sensors. First, no 4 yr. old vehicle with only 42K miles should not need a new transmission. The keyless entry doesn't work consistently locking keys in the vehicle. Nissan is aware that their vehicle has specific areas known as "dead zones" where the key does not work, yet fails to disclose this to consumers. This is very dangerous as a mom could easily shut a door to retrieve something from the trunk and end up with her children locked in the vehicle. A simple safety bulletin warning consumers of "known" dead zones where the key transponder does not consistently work (cup holder/trunk, per Nissan Corporate Office) would be much appreciated and is the right information to share with consumers for their safety. Failing to disclose known issues with a vehicle is total negligence on Nissan's part and should be changed. Hopefully, Nissan will do the right thing and update their owner's manuals to reflect these dangerous "dead zones," or issue a consumer safety bulletin.
