Why is the transmission still giving problems after a second replacement?
What is your question?
I bought our 2014 Nissan Pathfinder about a year ago and up to now I had to replace the transmission twice in a year and still having problems. Engine light on again. I have also replace new tires twice due to arm control problems driving on highway and feels like it sways to the sides and very scary and dangerous. There’s a noise like over speeding going 60mph. Replaced bushings and twice the bar links, and done various Alignments. Oxygen sensor and other parts. There’s some bad fumes with either heat or AC on. Not sure on leaks as it’s been raining on our area. Had Various recalls and still waiting on front hood recall to get fixed!
Please help! Thanks!
What makes this problem better or worse?
Worse with cold weather, but throws out bad fumes

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010.
My first thought is, has this vehicle been in some sort of accident which has caused frame damage or unresolvable alignment issues?
Secondly, are all the tires exactly the same size, brand and worn evenly? Tires that are dissimilar can cause drivetrain issues.
I question if the folks testing your vehicle are mindful of your concerns and trying to drill down to the cause -- it would seem to me something is not being found here. The replacement transmissions - if not of high quality - could also be suspect of course.
As far as fumes and leaks and engine performance issues - this all needs competent troubleshooting.
From my computer keyboard it is difficult to offer much advice without being able to evaluate your vehicle -- so my best suggestion is to get someone trustworthy and skilled near you who can thoroughly do that.
