2014 Nissan Pathfinder
I believe the transmission is again failing on this vehicle, however my local dealership said the MAF was bad. So we bought a new one, which has a Nissan code on the package, and popped it in. The car is still bucking like a bronco and idling rough. NOW the dealership states ONLY a nissan dealership MAF will work on the car and they will not run a diagnostic on the transmission. (We are 2 weeks from the tranny warranty being up). SO do I need a code or will popping in the new MAF work? It is in but again no performance improvement. Thank you!

Stay away from the dealership. Take the car to a good independent mechanic instead.

You don't have to buy a s MAF sensor from the dealer but you do need to buy/use an OEM sensor.

If the transmission is still under warranty, you need to make sure you have proof of what is going on. Emails are a good way, include all pertinent information.
As @hixster said, get an oem maf and get it to a good local shop.
A misfire can make it feel like the transmission is bucking, hopefully it is just that. The transmission would not make the car run rough at idle.
