2022 Pathfinder SV AWD in limp mode

Have you had any of the same issues since your post in January? I am in Florida and my 2022 Pathfinder (6600 miles since last March 2022 when we bought it), is now at the dealership for 'diagnostic' since I had a similar issue yesterday..... would re-start after I had shut it off but would not go into gear. Had the AT error on the dash. I tried a bunch of times. Then after sitting for a bit I was able to get it in D mode, but the check engine light came on. I drove straight to the dealership and since it was late Friday and they only work 1/2 day on Saturday, I probably won't hear anything until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest what they come up with. This isn't the first 'issue' with it. I had another problem with the Auto Hold that caused the car to lurch forward into the truck in front of me when I was stopped at an intersection red light. Fortunately no damage to the truck in front of me.... just their hitch went into the lower grill on my car. But damaged it and the sensor and bracket that it is mounted on. To repair that is $2000 for grill, sensor and bracket and $1000 labor! I have been in contact with Nissan and they did all their diagnostics (had to leave my car then too) and they came up with it isn't their fault and won't help with parts cost of repair! At this point I am beginning to think I have a lemon!

We purchased our new 2022 Pathfinder in Mid November and it currently has 1816 miles on it. We haven't had any issues other than the remote start being temperamental and trying to acclimate to the shifter. Last night we left one of our relatives house about ten miles away and drove home. After I pulled into the garage and shut the car off I noticed I hadn't pulled in far enough. I restarted the car and it powered up for about 3-5 seconds and then shut off by itself, it did the same thing after four or five attempts to restart. After the forth or fifth time trying to restart it finally stayed running and started throwing up messages "Service AT power reduced" check engine light came on and a additional warning light I don't recognize, it would not go into gear the shift selector light remained in "P" no matter what I did. I went out this morning and looked over the car (engine compartment and bottom of vehicle) I see no obvious damage or fluids leaking anywhere. We are in Idaho and have had substantial snow fall over the last week and have been using the car to travel locally. There is a lot of ice and snow built up under the car and around the wheel housings and suspension. I was able to get the vehicle to start this morning just like normal and travel around for maybe a mile everything seemed normal except the check engine light is remaining on. I am very concerned having had a issue this soon with a 40K car. Has anyone experienced anything like this or am I the chosen one.

My 2022 with just over 6500 miles on it (bought March 2022) did the same thing. Took it into the dealership and it will be ready tomorrow. It has been at the dealership for a week. We are in Florida, so cold weather isn't an issue here. Would re-start but would not go into Drive. I let it sit for a while and then re-started and it did shift into Drive. Went directly to the dealership with the check engine light on..... (Hat the same AT error on the dash as shown here). Seems there are a couple of recalls about reprogramming the ECM (Electronic Control Module). I can't explain further since I haven't picked it up yet. They also replaced the battery (under warranty) since the battery checked 'bad'. This isn't the first issue I have had with the vehicle. If you have the "Auto Hold" option in yours - I can't stress enough - DO NOT USE IT! It is supposed to keep the car stopped if you have it engaged and the car won't move forward until you press on the gas. Well, I had it engaged and was behind another vehicle at a red light. I did NOT step on the gas. My car lunged forward into the truck in front of me! Luckily the truck had a hitch, so there was no damage to their truck, but it broke my lower grill and damaged the sensor located behind the grill. Repair parts (grill, sensor and bracket) are $2000.00 and another $1000 for labor to do it. I contacted Nissan and they are not willing to help with anything saying (after they had their rep do diagnostic testing) that it didn't have anything to do with the car. Geez.... since I didn't step on the gas, I think it did have to do with the car, but how can I prove it? We have owned 8 Nissan vehicles since 2005! And my son has had 2. You would think they would want to do something. Even some help with the parts. Anyway..... saying it again.... DO NOT trust Auto Hold if you have it. Take your car to the dealer and find out about the recalls! And be sure they check your battery condition!
