2016 Nissan Pathfinder Transmission Problems

At 160,000 miles, your CVT transmission suddenly failed with no warning lights, leaving you stranded and forcing you to limp the car to a dealership where they deemed it unsafe to drive. The transmission repair cost $14,000 out of pocket because your extended warranty specifically excluded CVT transmissions due to known Nissan reliability issues. Since the repair, you've also experienced engine problems and catalytic converter failure—issues you wouldn't normally expect until well over 200,000 miles. The repair may involve replacing the entire CVT transmission assembly and potentially addressing related engine and emissions components.

Your car stopped running suddenly while you were entering an expressway and had to be towed to the dealer. The dealer found that your alternator had failed and also detected a problem with your CVT transmission, recommending replacement. You're concerned because you've learned that 2016 Pathfinders were involved in a lawsuit regarding CVT issues, and you want to know if Nissan should cover the transmission replacement at no cost given your car's low mileage (under 120k miles) and age (under 10 years). Fixing this will likely require alternator replacement and possibly CVT transmission replacement, depending on warranty coverage.

Your car hesitates and sputters when you press the accelerator pedal at various speeds, with no warning light appearing on the dashboard. A dealer diagnosed an internal CVT transmission failure (error code P17F1) that requires a complete transmission replacement. Since your vehicle is out of warranty, Nissan declined to help cover the cost.

Your 2016 Nissan Pathfinder was subject to a CVT transmission recall, but you were never notified about it despite owning the vehicle for 7 years. You should contact Nissan or check your vehicle's recall status to see if this issue has been addressed.

When you make slow turns, you notice vibration and noise coming from the rear of your vehicle. You may also feel a binding or grinding sensation from the rear differential during these turns. This typically requires inspection and service of the rear differential components.

My car hit 62,000 miles, it started having transmission issues. It shakes, makes large noises, the car tries to stall, having issues accelerating, and loss power. I am concerned that the car will turn off or broke down while driving
