drivetrain issue?? 14 Pathfinder

[plummer66]

Ok....i don't really know how to explain this....or have any idea what it is (guessing drivetrain?).

Here it goes. From sitting still...to a moderate acceleration there feels like a sluggish movement underneath the middle of the vehicle like something is loose. Almost like their is a slight delay in the car going from front wheel accel to the rear wheels. Does not do it when doing a gradual slow increase in speed or a hard acceleration.......only a moderate.

Sorry for the major lack of description........but i have no idea how to explain it.

Thanks for any help!

Sounds like a CVT issue, which wouldn't surprise me.

I believe there's been some discussion about a dealership reprogram of the CVT logic, but you may want to search that... Keep us posted?

ok sorry I should have mentioned earlier. This problem started just before I took it to the stealership for them to look at a possible transmission issue. They replaced the transmission under warranty. I thought maybe it was a CVT issue as well........so assumed that the issue would have been resolved. However it was not....so I assume that it must be something else. Not sure if it is an axle issue or what.

Ah, that helps. I'd go back to them and have them look at the programming.
