It's hard to understand how these car companies can continue to sell defective products for years with feeble or non-existent attempts to correct known issues. I was looking at used Pathfinders only to discover the CVT transmission nightmare. CARMAX will gladly selll you one and probably knows it has a POS transmission. Thankfully there are sources of information today to reduce ones chances of buying a lemon or vehicle with certain defects. I puchased a used 2011 Ford Escape a few years back and it has several known issues, but nothing like the CVT issue. The transmission slips a bit when cold and the electronic power steering stops working sporadically. The transmission issue can be corrected with a ECU update. The power steering has only shutdown once in 30K+ miles. It resets if you stop and start the car.
I guess most cars are not perfect but the manufacturers should certainly address the defects that render the vehicle useless and cost thousands of dollars, or endanger ones life.
