2013 Nissan Pathfinder drivetrain & axles problems

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated that while stationary and in the park position, her vehicle suddenly began to roll backwards as she was standing outside of the driver side door. The vehicle had rolled over the contact's left foot and suddenly came to a stop after rolling a few feet. An ambulance was called to the scene and the contact was treated for a broken ankle and bruising to left knee. As a result, the contact had to have surgery on her left ankle.

Shortly after purchasing the 2013 nissan pathfinder in december 2012, we noticed the vehicle shaking when accelerating or decelerating. This occurred in both the 2wd and the 4wd/variable transmission settings. The recall notice received said the continuously variable transmission (CVT) chain might slip and cause the vehicle to "judder", which it did many times. The vehicle acts like the engine will die when stopping or accelerating from a stop, causing hesitation that could result in an accident.
