FLUTTERING WIND NOISE WHEN DRIVING. THE NOISE STARTS OUT AT 40 MPH AND GRADUALLY INCREASES TO A HIGHER DECIBEL RANGE WHEN SPEEDING UP TO 70 MPH. ALL THE WINDOWS ARE WIND UP BUT THIS STRANGE WIND NOISE CANNOT BE LOCATED. THE NOISE IS FLAPPING SO LOUD AT 70 MPH THAT IT HURTS MY FAMILY'S EARS. DEALER STATED IT'S AN ENGINEERING ISSUE AND IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. I'VE CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT THEY'RE SAYING THERE' S NO OTHER REPORT BESIDE MYSELF SO THEY'RE NOT TAKING ACTION. I NEED HELP AT THIS POINT- WHERE DO I GO OR WHAT DO I DO??? *JB

PURCHASED 2014 PREMIUM PLATITUM NISSAN PATHFINDER ON 10/9/13. THE SAME EVENING I NOTICED THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKING FROM STOP TO 35 MPH (2000 RPM). I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE. 4 DAYS LATER THE CAR DID THE SAME THING SEVERAL TIMES. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY CLAIM THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. 3 DAYS AFTER THAT, THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKED FROM STOP TO 35 MPH ALL MORNING. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY DUPLICATED THE ISSUE. SAID CAR NEEDS A TRANSMISSION. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE TO DETERMINE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN. IT HAPPENS QUIT FREQUENTLY WITH THE 2013/2014 CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN THE PATHFINDERS. CHECK EDMUNDS.COM, KBB.COM, ETC FOR REVIEWS. THE CUSTOMER REVIEWS ALL SAY THE SAME THING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR IS TRYING TO LEAVE 2ND GEAR WHILE JERKING, IT IS NOT PICKING UP SPEED AND CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR; CAUSING INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO IMMEDIATELY AND NISSAN NEEDS TO STOP PRODUCTION OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS UNTIL THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. NHTSA PLEASE GET INVOLVED TO STOP NISSAN FROM PRODUCING THESE FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND TO FORCE THEM TO FIX THE ONES THEY HAVE SOLD TO INNOCENT PURCHASERS. IT'S NOT RIGHT THAT THEY CONTINUE TO TAKE INNOCENT PEOPLE'S HARD EARN MONEY AND PROFIT FROM THAT, WHILE WE ARE FORCED TO PAY TO RIDE IN WHAT COULD BE A ACCIDENT CAUSING VEHICLE; RESULTING IN INJURY AND/OR WORSE CASE, DEATH!!! PLEASE BE PROACTIVE. LET'S SAVE LIVES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! *TR
