“My vehicle will randomly buck and lose drive power. Mostly noticed at slow speeds, but also does it on the highway as well. The description of the problem is exactly like people reported in the 2014 class action suit against Nissan for several of the 2014 Nissan models (specifically, the pathfinder) it is concerning that the transmission will completely go causing a major safety concern.”
