2012 NISSAN ALTIMA Power Train Problems

I drove out of town about 40 miles and everything was fine, next day went to leave to come home and immediately noticed high RPMs going about 20MPH. I pulled over, turned the car off and turned it back on, started driving and same thing. I had no choice but to drive it on the interstate. I could get up to 60 very carefully but I was still sitting around 4000rpms. It wouldn’t shift gears at all (I know it’s a CVT and doesn’t have gears). I then noticed a high squealing noise, thankfully made it home with a lot of honking and middle fingers even though I had my hazards on. Once I made it home, plugged in my OBD scanner and had a pending DTC of P1778 which I have found to be the stepper motor. Aka the death code. It’ll start, shift into all other gears, but is making a high squealing noise even when idle and in park and when revving in park the squeal gets louder. I even attempted the “semi manual’ to see if I could get it to catch, I couldn’t at all. No matter what “gear” I was in it wouldn’t bring the RPMs down.

The vehicle is unsafe to driver and others on the road. The power steering hose has had a leak since it was manufactured and was not fixed by the manufacturer at all! Tie rods gave away within 5 years of a mileage less than 24,200 miles. Cv joints along with tie rods have been easily compromised and damaged causing loss of control and steering .suspensions are no longer in tact nor reliable and will pose a danger. All errors were not found by manufacturer and has caused immediate danger to not only driver but everyone on the road. The engine has a rattle only after 2 years which is not usual.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle briefly lost motive power before slamming into gear. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired for the most recent failure. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics after purchasing the vehicle and the mass air flow, spark plugs, sensor coils, and other various engine parts and catalytic converters were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Service Engine Soon light on. Was driving on highway at 55mph Transmission started to slip and car started to slow down while I was pressing gas pedal. The more I pressed on gas pedal the more the car lost acceleration. Had to move off to side of the road and turn car off. Took to mechanic and had transmission flushed and plate replaced. Transmission needs to be replaced. Ran diagnostic and codes for Transmission comes up.

I have a 2012 nissan altima that I purchased in 2018. in florida. check engine light appeared first. it currently doesn't run because of the transmission. it doesnt excelerate above 20mph. is there is a nationwide recall because of the cvt transmissions going bad?. I already tried to fix 2 separate parts on the transmission the code I'm getting is p1778. I changed the stepper motor and valve body and it's still won't go above 20mph. I don't have 5,000 to replace a transmission. we've been stuck on the road twice in traffic when it doesn't want to excelerate above 20mph

When I BARELY accelerate my car it does a very aggressive bucking motion along with loud noise. I have done put over $3k in vehicle! Nissan fix your shit!

Transmission spudders at times. It is very delayed when pulling out sometimes. Turning the car off and back on might help sometimes. Car will go in limp mode. Nissan dealer said it was the Transmission. There is a big safety concern because when you push the gas trying to cross an intersection, it might lag behind and not go. This could result in being hit. This has been a great car but the cat is complete junk and Nissan should be ashamed of themselves for this. If they get enough law suits they may change something. Well maybe, They don't care about peoples lives.

Vehicle when in drive or reverse would barely move and almost got stranded in traffic. Finally will not move at all

After making right turn onto very busy 4 lane road with cars traveling 55 mph, the car failed to accelerate and had no power. Car acted as though it was in neutral. Fortunately, the road was downhill at this point and after turning on emergency blinking lights was able to coast about 3/4 mile to next street and turn right. I was almost rear ended three times during this coasting period at about 15 mph. On this part of the highway there was no place to pull over as the curb was next to the right hand lane. Had the car towed to a Nissan dealer the next day and was told that the transmission had "totally disintegrated" and was "unrepairable." Cost $4800 to repair. Was told that this was a "common occurrence" with the 2008-2014 CVT Nissan transmissions. Nissan has recalled many CVT transmissions but not 2012. Service manager also said that we were "lucky that disintegrated the way it did as some cars locked up in geared and immediately stopped." There was no prior warning of a transmission problem. No lights, no noise, no nothing. There was no way to know a problem or potential failure was imminent. This car is a danger. Had this occurred on a freeway in Los Angeles where we were driving just prior to this failure, it could have caused a major injury accident. This transmission should be recalled. The car had 97,000 miles. Nissan should be required to recall and reimburse owners who have suffered this failure in 2012 Altima transmissions.

I have a 2012 Nissan Altima. Four years ago I drove from Sacramento, CA, to Reno, NV, with two friends in my car. As I was driving over the summit on Highway 80 my car started to lose power. This was extremely scary as the highway is only two lanes and since it was a Saturday there was a lot of traffic. I was driving in the slow lane and as my car continued to lose power and slow there was noplace to get off the road. I pulled onto the narrow sholder between the slow lane and the concrete barrier and my car came to a complete stop. Since there were cars whizzing by I was not able to open either the drivers side door or the passenger side door, which was inches away from the concrete divider. At this point I was shaking uncontrollably and in a panic I called Nissan of Sacramento to tell them what happened. The technician suggested that my transmission may have over-heated. He suggested that I wait for the transmission to cool and see if I was able to then make it to the nearest freeway offramp, which I did. After exiting the freeway we waited for an hour or so and were then able to proceed to Reno, NV. Once there, I took my car to a mechanic who checked the other systems and could find nothing wrong. Once back home in Sacramento I took my car to Nissan of Sacramento and was then informed that my transmission had burned and would need to be replaced. They contacted Nissan and were informed that there were no recalls and that I would need to pay for a new transmission out of pocket and the cost would exceed $4,700. After contacting Nissan myself, they informed me that they would not cover the cost of a new transmission. Since I am a retired, single senior citizen living on a fixed income, I have not been able to replace the transmission and subsequently have not driven more than 20 miles from my home. I have read that CVT Transmission problems are very common with Nissan Altimas. Why would they deny my claim when this is such a serious safety issue?

Had transmission fluid changed now starts bit doesn't go in gear took it to shop and was told I need a new transmission don't understand why new fluid would cause this and have heard nissan has had numerous problems with cat transmission

While driving the car stopped accelerating. Thankfully this happened on a 2 lane road while no other vehicles were around and there was a driveway to pull into. My husband and child were also in the car when this happened. No warning lights/noises alarmed before this happened. We had to have the car towed home. It will turn on but will not drive. This car is notorious for transmission issues. Now we have a car that we can't drive but still owe way more than it's worth to fix. We are unable to trade/sale either. It has been very frustrating situation. We will never own another Nissan.

3 times car has decelerated when driving on interstate for 1 to 2 hours. Last time speed dropped to 20 mph when most cars were doing 70 to 80 mph. This creates a very dangerous situation that could result in loss of life if not corrected. Nissan refuses to address the matter and problem is well documented on the internet and lawsuits. Nissan should have issued a recall covering the defective CVT. My college age grandson is driving the car as he has no other option but he is putting his life and friends at risk each time he goes on an extended trip. Nissan should at minimum replace the transmission as a safety issue but have denied our claim. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

We had a near fatal accident on the highway because the car suddenly lost speed drastically and later on a few incidents won't move up on the slope. My daughter had a hard time reaching home but somehow managed. A quick online research showed many people sharing similar issues due to faulty transmission and sensors. It seems that Nissan is simply hiding behind its 60,000 mile Warranty and not addressing and fixing this issue for the consumers and thereby putting lives at risk.

Transmission lost power (reduced power) after 65000 miles. Initially I was not aware of the Nissan 2012 Altima having transmission issues. Now the repair rather replacement cost is about $5000 as per estimats Iave approached local NISSAN dealerships and national customer service hot line and there has bee ZERO help from them. 2012 is know to have CVT transmission and its related performance and repair issues. Still that year, 2012 , NIssan is not covered under warranty beyond 60K nor there is help for customers who purchased this vehicle

In mid-May 2021, noticed that the Altima (at 105,000 mls) had little power when accelerating. At one point, pulled out from from a stop at an intersection and basically "crawled" through. Barley made it up to the top of our driveway. "Check Engine" light came on. Not safe to accelerate in traffic. Local AAMCO, and local Nissan dealer, both diagnosed transmission failure. Have learned that apparently Nissan knew of this problem.

THREE HOURS INTO MY DRIVE, I WAS GOING ABOUT 70 MPH AND NOTICED MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WAS MAKING A NOISE. I PULLED OVER, GOT OUT, CHECKED MY POWER STEERING FLUID. IT WAS FINE SO I DROVE OFF AND AS I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE CAR WASN'T PICKING UP SPEED AGAIN. I DROVE TO THE NEXT EXIT AND GOT OFF. I LITERALLY COASTED TO A PARKING LOT OF AN INDUSTRIAL BUILDING. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT TRYING TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT, I NOTICED I COULDN'T GO UP THE HILL. I WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES, PICKED UP SPEED AND MADE IT UP THE HILL AND ONTO A 2 LANE ROAD. I DROVE TO A HOTEL ABOUT 4 MILES AWAY, GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. I REALIZED THAT AS LONG AS I DIDN'T STOP, I WOULD BE FINE. THE NEXT MORNING I FOUND A MECHANIC SHOP, CALLED AND DROVE THERE WITH MINIMAL PROBLEMS. HE TOLD ME THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. HE HOOKED A MACHINE UP AND IT GAVE HIM THESE CODES: P0746, P0826, P1778 STEP MOTOR, P0868. HE TOLD ME TO CHECK FOR RECALLS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR 3 HOURS BACK TO MY HOUSE IN WOODBRIDGE.

THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN IN THE FREEWAY AND IT LOST POWER WHILE I WAS IN THE CARPOOL SO I DROVE CAREFULLY TO THE EMERGENCY LANES ON THE SIDE RISKING GETTING HIT BY A CAR CAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER OR SHIFTING. I THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD. I TURN OFF THE CAR FOR FIVE MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND I TRY TO MOVE THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WENT WELL. AFTER COUPLE DAYS OR WEEKS I DON'T RECALL I CALL THE DEALER REQUESTING A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE WHICH THEY ASK ME HOW MANY MILES IT HAD I TOLD THEM 83,000 MILES AND THEY TOLD ME I DON'T QUALIFY TO GET THE TRANSMISSION REPLACE CAUSE IT HAS OVER 80,000 MILES ALREADY. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN MAKES FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION MANUFACTURED BY JATCO. I WANTED TO KNOW IF I QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I RESET THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY FOR FIVE MINUTES IT RAN AND HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN BUT IT'S SUPER SLUGGISH. THE CAR SHOULD HAVE A RECALL NO MATTER THE MILEAGE. FORGOT TO MENTION THEY SAID I DON'T QUALIFY ALSO CAUSE THE CAR IS SALVAGE AND IT VOIDS EVERY RECALL WHATSOEVER.

Mileage: 83,000

NOW I KNOW...AS IN ALMOST ALL NISSAN ALTIMA'S THAT HAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILS. NO PREWARNING FROM THE VEHICLE AND ESPECIALLY NISSAN CORPORATION OR DEALERSHIP. MY TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. IT IS APPARENTLY A HORRIBLE UNJUST SERIOUS PROBLEM THE NISSAN PEOPLE ARE NOT ADDRESSING OR TRYING ANY AT ALL TO HELP. THEY JUST KEEP STICKING IT TO THE IGNORANT PUBLIC CUSTOMERS WHO THOUGHT THEY COULD TRUST NISSAN. YEAH THATS ME.

PURCHASED CAR AUGUST 8, 2020. WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY WHEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 08/24. TOOK THE CAR TO NEBORHOOD TIRE PRO'S IN DECATUR, GA. HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE. CAR RECEIVED 3 CODES. ONE CODE WAS P1718. WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN STONE MOUNTAIN. HEALTH WAGES THE SERVICE MANGER AFFIRMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION.

CAR AUTOMATICALLY REDUCES SPEED FROM 65 MPH TO 35 MPH WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AND WILL NOT INCREASE SPEED WHEN DRIVING AT AN HOUR OR BETTER AT 65 MPH OR GREATER. WHEN IT AUTODECELERATES IT MAKES A WHINING NOISE AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AGAIN UNTIL YOU TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ALLOW THE CAR TO SIT FOR 30 MINS OR BETTER.

2012 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S SEDAN, PURCHASED NEW PLUS EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH 3 MILES ON IT. AT 64K MILES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER ABOUT A. HOUR AT NORMAL SPEEDS ON A HOT DAY THE CAR STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE BECAME SLUGGISH AND THE SPEED REDUCED TO 60MPH. THE RPM GAUGE BEGAN TO RISE ANT THE CAR BEGAN TO DECREASE IT'S SPEED EVENTUALLY DESCENDING TO 20 MPH WHILE THE RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATED FROM 2K TO 5K RPM. THE GAS PEDAL WAS NON RESPONSIVE EXCEPT FOR A LOUDER WHINING NOISE AS IT WAS PRESSED . WE PULLED OVER FOR A WHILE AND THE VEHICLE WENT TO NORMAL. THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE WE ARRIVED HOME. THE DEALER RESPONDED STATING A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED BUT NOT COVERED THEY SAID MY WARRANTY WAS NOT VALID. I COMPLAINED, THEY CONTACTED HEADQUARTERS I GUESS AND STATED TO ME BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNDER 70K MILES THE COMPANY WOULD PAY PARTIAL FOR THE REPAIR BUT MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 1200. NOT ONLY DID I THINK THIS WAS UNFAIR BUT I ALSO DIDN'T HAVE AN EXTRA 1200 LYNG AROUND. SO UNFORTUNATELY I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS CAR DRIVES FINE FOR ABOUT 40 MIN. SO NO LONG COMMUTES.

Mileage: 60

MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS BOUGHT AT 40K MILES. IT RAN GOOD FOR WAS MAINTAINED. AT 108K MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 6TH GEAR (CVT TRANSMISSION) AND WOULD EVENTUALLY LOSE POWER AND NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSION BUT THEY WERE ONLY FOR THE PRIOR YEAR MODELS SO THERE WAS NOTHING I CAN DO. IT IS NOW AT 120K MILES AND IT HASN'T GOTTEN SO BAD I CAN'T DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT COMPLETELY DIAGNOSED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT THREW WHAT THEY REFER TO AS A 'DEATH CODE' AND SAID IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY DIES. I'M A STUDENT AND IN THE MILITARY SO I STAY VERY BUSY AND MY CAR NOT BEING RELIABLE HAS PUT A STOP TO EVERYTHING. A TRANSMISSION GOING BAD AT 120K MILES SHOULD NOT BE A THING. I TRULY FEEL CHEATED BY NISSAN WITH THIS CAR.

Mileage: 110,000

ONGOING ISSUE WHERE VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING FURTHER DISTANCES (30-40 MILES) OR UPHILL IN THE MOUNTAINS AND IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. DRIVER IS FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WAIT UNTIL VEHICLE CAN COOL DOWN AND GAIN POWER AGAIN. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS OR EXTENDED THE WARRANTY AS IT IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE SITUATION.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A LOUD WHINING NOISE AND REVVED UP TO ABOUT 6400 RPM'S AND MY CAR HAD NO ACCELERATION FROM THAT TIME ON.. NOW I'M FACING EITHER PAYING $3400 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION OR JUST TRASHING A PERFECTLY WELL KEPT UP CAR. I'VE ALWAYS MADE SURE TO HAVE MY CAR COMPLETELY SERVICED AND MAINTAINED ON TIME. AFTER THIS I WILL NEVER BUY FROM NISSAN AGAIN. THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE HORRIBLE. NISSAN IS LOOKING AFTER THEIR PROFIT INSTEAD OF RELIABILITY. THIS IS A 2012 ALTIMA WITH 125000 MILES.

Mileage: 125,000

NISSAN ALTIMA 2012 2.5S MODEL AT 115000 MILES :WITHOUT INDICATION THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY COULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED AND RPM WOULD GO UP TILL 4000-5000, ALSO THE VEHICLE COULD NOT RUN OVER 65MPH: THE SPEED WAS LOCKED UP WHILE RPM KEPT GOING UP TILL 3500-4000 I HAD A NEAR MISS FROM AN SEVERE FREEWAY ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THAT PROBLEM AND DARE NOT DRIVE ON FREEWAY AFTER THAT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE FAILURE PATTERN WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS OLDER MODELS(03-10) OF NISSAN ALTIMA, WHERE THE WARRANTY IS EXTENDED TO 120000 MILES FOR TRANSMISSION. COST MORE THAN 3500 TO REPAIR AND ALL THE MECHANICS I MET WOULD CALL THOSE TRANSMISSION UNITS JUNK AND SOME OF THEM HAD MULTIPLE NISSAN ALTIMA UNDER REPAIR WITH THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.

Mileage: 115,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE TO MOVE FORWARD WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH CANNON NISSAN OF GREENWOOD (69900 US-82, GREENWOOD, MS 38930, (662) 453-4211) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CAR HAS BROKE DOWN AND CAN NOT BE DROVE. IT HAS STALLED ON US NUMEROUS TIME DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN NEVADA. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY SEMI TRUCK. THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED NOW AND THE CAR IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY TO FIX. IT HAS 123,000 ON IT.

Mileage: 120,000

NISSAN ALTIMA 2012 S HAS A BUG ON THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TALKED TO A DEALERSHIP LATELY ABOUT HOW I CAN MAINTAIN MY TRANSMISSION TO AVOID THE PROBLEM HE TOLD ME TO CHANGE THE FLUID AFTER 60K MILES. WHICH I DID RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER. I'M SUPPRISE AT 127K MILES, MY TRANSMISSION BROKEN DOWN. AND ALL MECHANICS I BE BEEN TO TELL ME IS A FACTORY ISSUE AND NISSAN KNOWS IT. THEY SAID THE CVT TRANSMISSION MOSTLY COME TO FAIL ON THAT NISSAN AFTER YOU PASS THE 100K MILES. (FACTORY ISSUE WITH THAT CVT TECHNOLOGY THEY SAID). I CALL NISSAN TO SUBMIT THE PROBLEM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY TOLD THEY CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF THE HIGH MILEAGE. THE BAD TRANSMISSION IS VERY DANGEROUS ON THE PUBLIC ROAD, I HAVE BEEN IN THE SITUATION ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHERE I COULDN'T PASS THE 18 WHEELER AND ALMOST CAUSE A CRASH BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

Mileage: 126,854

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR OVER AN HOUR AT SPEEDS 60+ MPH THE TRANSMISSION WILL BEGIN TO WHINE, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME THE RPMS WILL SKYROCKET. THE CAR WILL RAPIDLY DECELERATE WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON ROAD TRIPS WHEN THE CAR WAS AT 20K MILES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN NOW THAT THE CAR IS NEARING 100K MILES.

Mileage: 95,000

HELLO TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I'M POSTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE THIS VEHICLE HAS AND I'VE HEARD MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO OF DRIVING THE CAR OR GOING UP A PRETTY STEEP HILL ON A HOT DAY THE CAR LOOSES POWER COMPLETELY AND WILL HAVE TROUBLE TO GO OVER 45MPH AND WHAT I'VE READ UP ON THIS ISSUE THE VEHICLE COME WITH A SENSOR THAT MAKES THE CAR GO INTO A SAFETY MODE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GETS TOO HOT AND IT'S DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT HAVING A FLUID COOLER. I'VE HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS IN THE FREEWAY WHERE CARS HAVE CAME REALLY CLOSE TO REAR ENDING ME IN THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY AS WELL AS OTHERS AND WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE GETTING SUED DUE TO AN ISSUE NISSAN HAS WITH THEIR VEHICLE

I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ONCE LAST YEAR WHEN THE CAR HAD 80,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION WENT WHEN TRAVELING ON A LONG TRIP, AFTER A HOURS WHEN GOING APPROX 65 MPH AND TRYING THE CAR FAILED TO ACCCELERATE. THE CAR THEN WOULD NOT GO OVER 40 MPH. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ASTHERE WAS A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME, WHICH FORCED HIM TO SLAM ON BREAKS. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCAREY SITUATION FOR ALL INVOLVED. AGAIN THIS YEAR WHILE TRAVELING FOR APPROX 2 HOURS THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD ON THE LEFT HAD SIDE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER INSTANCES WHERE THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED OR HAS ALREADY BEEN. THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED AT APPROX 99,000 MILES. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACT NISSAN AND AM GOING TO TAKE CAR FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, IF I AM ABLE TO GET IT THERE. I BELIEVE THAT OTHER CARS FOR OTHER YEARS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED DUE TO A CLASS ACTION SUIT. I HAVE BEEN DOING ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS CAR AND YEAR AND NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME COMPLETE. VERY DANGEROUS AND DEADLY ACCIDENTS WILL OCCUR IF NOTHING DONE ON NISSAN PART. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT ANYTHING WILL HAPPEN. THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR DID NOT GO ON, AND EVEN AFTER PULLING OVER DID NOT GO ON

WHILE IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DRASTICLY SLOW DOWN FROM SPEEDS OF 60 TO 70 MPH DOWN TO 20 TO 30 MPH. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS DURING THE DAY AFTER DRIVING FOR AN HOUR + AND IN ANY KIND OF INCLINE ROAD. AT HARD INCLINES I CAN BEARLY DRIVE UPWARD EVEN HHAVING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE RPM GAGE BEGINS TO JUMP RAPIDLY TO 5 AND 6 RPM WHEN EVEN SLIGHTLY PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE, AND ONCE IT ADJUST , THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO MORE THAT 3 RPM WHILE STILL AT A MPH SLOWER THAN 30. THIS WILL STAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE UNTIL I HAVE STOPPED AND TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME. TBIS BEGAN HAPPENING AT 100,000 MILES AND NOW AT 150,000 MILES IT HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, AND CLEARLY VERY UNSAFE FOR DRIVING LONG DISTANCES ON LARGE HIGHWAYS, WHEN MY VEHICLE SHOULD WORK AS IT SHOULD.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER TWO AND HALF HOURS OF DRIVING COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 45-50 MILES AN HOUR AND STUCK ON THIS SPEED EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL BEING PRESSED DOWN TO ACCELERATE. I HAD SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS ON THE HIGHWAY IN REGARDS TO ASCENDING HILLS AND HAD NEAR SERIOUS ENCOUNTERS WITH TRUCKS AND OTHER VEHICLES ON ALL INCIDENTS I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE MORE THAN THAT DURATION. I AM ON A WEBSITE CALLED CARGURUS AND HAVE A LOT OF NISSAN 2012 ALTIMA OWNERS WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL HAVING EXACTLY THE SAME TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND THAT THEY SHOULD DO A QA OF THEIR CALL LOGS AND CHECK OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS AND ALL THEY COULD SAY IS "THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RECALL ON YOUR VIN". INFORMED THEM ABOUT MEDICINE AFTER DEATH NOT POSSIBLE AND PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH FREQUENT COMPLAINTS BY CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND NOT IGNORED TILL PEOPLE START DYING BEFORE THERE IS A NEED TO FIX THIS OR ISSUE A RECALL. THE GEAR BOX AND CV AXLE BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THIS. I AM NOT A TECHNICIAN BUT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. EVERY TIME YOU ARE IN A CAR ON THE HIGHWAY ON LONG DISTANCE JOURNEY WITH THIS CAR YOUR LIFE IS ON A LIVE WIRE BECAUSE OF THIS GEAR BOX ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN SOUTH HOLLAND IL FOR THIS AND WAS TOLD TO CALL NISSAN AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS WHICH I HAVE DONE. I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR LOOKING INTO THIS PLEASE! THANKS.

TAKATA RECALL MY 2012 ALTIMA HAS BEEN HAVING SOME SHIFTING ISSUES WHILE I AM DRIVING. MIND YOU THIS CALL HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT (YES 2012 WITH 58,000). IT IS OVER THE 5 YEAR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT UNDER THE MILEAGE. NISSAN DOES NOT CARE. THERE SHOULD BE ZERO REASONS WHY A CAR WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES SHOULD BE HAVING ANY TYPE OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

Mileage: 57,000

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THEN NO ACCELERATION W A HIGH PITCH SOUND...CAN ONLY DRIVE IT 20 MPH IF AT ALL..HAD IT TOWED AND A MECHANIC SAID IT IS MY TRANSMISSION..AS I AM RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I AM FINDING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR AND NISSAN HAS TO KNOW THEY HAVE A DESIGN ISSUE OR PROBLEM

Mileage: 160,000

I PURCHASED THE 2012 NISSAN IN 2015 WITH ONLY 22,000 AND SOMETHING MILES. ONCE THE CAR GOT TO ABOUT 76,000 SOMETHING MILES A WHINING NOISE STARTED. SO NOW WITH THE CAR AT ONLY 83,074 MILES THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T GETTING ANY POWER. SO I TURN TO READ REVIEWS AND TALK TO PEOPLE ONLY TO FIND OUT THE CVT'S AREN'T WORTH ANYTHING AND TO GET THEM REPLACED THE PRICE IS RIDICULOUS AND I CAN'T AFFORD IT. BUT YOU WOULD THINK WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT NISSAN WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I WOULD NOT TELL ANYONE TO PURCHASE A NISSAN EVER. ALSO WHEN THE WHINING WOULD TAKE PLACE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS OR MAJOR HIGHWAYS

THE VEHICLE CVT TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED GOING FORWARD AND REVERSE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE VEHICLE MAINTANCE RECOMMENDATIONS.

Mileage: 130,000

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND GAVE ME A CODE OF P1778, HE TOLD ME NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS HAVE A SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH THEIR STEP MOTORS AND THAT NISSAN IS SUPPOSED TO FIX THEM FOR FREE. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT WHEN THEY KNOW THEIR TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT GOOD BECAUSE THEY'RE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN IT STARTED LOSING SPEED THAT IS WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HAPPEN O THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 65,000

WHILE DRIVING, OR WANTING TO DRIVE AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE RPMS WILL INCREASE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED (UP TO RED LINE), BUT THE CAR TRANSMISSION DOES NOT RESPOND UNTIL, SUDDENLY, THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD. THIS CAN HAPPEN FROM A COLD START, AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AFTER A QUICK STOP AT A BUSINESS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL WARM, ETC.

Mileage: 100,000

WHILE DRIVING, EITHER WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL OR WITHOUT, THE ENGINE RPMS WILL QUICKLY BOUNCE BETWEEN HIGH RPMS AND LOW RPMS THOUGH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT CHANGE AT ALL. THE ENGINE IS REVVING FASTER, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ENGAGED. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.

Mileage: 99,000

CVT TRANSMISSION WAS BUILT POORLY, THE TRANSMISSION IS SLOWLY DESTROYING ITSELF CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER, HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE AND EVENTUALLY FAIL. THE DATE I SELECTED FOR WHEN IT HAPPENED IS THE DATE I NOTICED THE ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE.

Mileage: 65,000

NO FORVER GEAR OR REVERSE GEAR AT ALL .AND HAVE ALOT OF CODE 720 1723 1778 0868 0715 1722 0746 0826 1701

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR MORE THAN 1.5 HOURS THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND SLOWS DOWN TO 45MPH OR LESS OR NOW POWER AT ALL. BECAUSE THE CVT OVERHEATS AND SHUTS DOWN. A NISSAN DEALERSHIP INSPECTED IT AND SAID WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION.

THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT AT 115,000 MILES, JUST BELOW OF THE CUTOFF FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF THE 2010 ALTIMAS. THE SAME TRANSMISSION RESIDES IN BOTH OF THESE CARS, WHY IS ONE COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE OTHER NOT?

Mileage: 116,000

MY SON'S 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS 99,500 MILES. THE CVT HAS BEEN ACTING UP MULTIPLE TIMES THIS YEAR. IT HAS GONE INTO THE FAIL-SAFE MODE AT LEAST FOUR TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY, CREATING AN UNSAFE AND HAZARDOUS CONDITION. WE'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TWICE TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD NOT EMITTED FAULTS. THIS IS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THERE'S OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS.

Mileage: 99,500

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR A LONG DISTANCE (30 MILES) THERE IS A WHINING SOUND THAT STARTS AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. IF THE CAR IS ALLOWED TO SIT AND COOL DOWN THE WHINING WILL STOP BUT START BACK AS THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION HEATS UP. DURING THIS PERIOD THE CAR WILL LOOSE POWER AND NOT EXCEED 40 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY

Mileage: 115,000

CVT TRANSMISSION CAUSING EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS. IT SLIPS AND LURCHES CONSTANTLY. IT SHAKES WHEN ACCELERATING UNTIL 20 MPH, AND STARTS AGAIN AT 20-30 MPH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING ON ANY ROADS BUT IT IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN DECELERATING WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 95,000

THE MPH WOULD REGISTER AS 60 BUT I KNOW IT WAS ONLY DOING 20. GOING AROUND CURVES IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WANT TO GO BUT DONT GO FAR. IT WILL START BUT MPH WONT MOVE, AND WONT MOVE FORWARD BUT WILL BACKUP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE SPEED REDUCED TO 50 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EAST TENNESSEE NISSAN (5496 W ANDREW JOHNSON HWY, MORRISTOWN, TN 37814, 423-799-3561) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 132,000.

Mileage: 132,000

CVT, THE CAR JERKS, SHUDDERS, STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! ENGINE REVS ON ITS OWN, READ ABOUT THE HORRIBLE NISSAN CVT WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN NOR RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! TURNING IS A NIGHTMARE, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IS QUITE SCARY. CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE NISSAN DOES NOT CARE! CLASS ACTION SUIT SHOULD BE FILED ASAP THIS IS PEOPLE LIVES YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT !

NHTSA TEAM, I AM FILING THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT REGARDING MY DAUGHTERS 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. HER VEHICLE HAS 94,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE CVT IS ACTING UP. THIS YEAR, THE VEHICLE'S CVT HAS GONE INTO THE FAIL-SAFE MODE AT LEAST THREE (3) TIMES WHILE ON INTERSTATE TRIPS. EACH TIME IT WAS DURING HOT WEATHER (SHE LIVES IN SOUTH CAROLINA) AND CAUSED HER TO RUN VERY SLOWLY ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS CREATED AN UNSAFE AND HAZARDOUS CONDITION. THE NISSAN DEALER IS SHARING THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO INSTALL A TRANSMISSION COOLER. I THINK THIS IS MORE OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT IS CAUSING HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF NISSAN INTENDS TO CORRECT THIS VIA A RECALL FOR THE 2012 ALTIMA'S CVT. THANK YOU.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY TRANSMISSION MISFIRED- MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WENT FLAT AT 60MPH. I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 60MPH FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP AND THE CAR VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY QUITE A BIT.

Mileage: 96,800

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER CLIMBING A STEEP GRADE UPHILL, ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT SANDWICHED BETWEEN TWO 18 WHEELERS ALSO GOING UPHILL ONE OF WHICH HAD TO SWERVE SHARPLY TO AVOID HITTING US. CVT TRANSMISSION LIKELY WENT INTO FAIL-SAFE MODE, SAME THING REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES ON STEEP WINDING CLIMBS ON MOUNTAIN HIGHWAYS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH ENGINE CUTTING OUT AND LOSS OF POWER. NISSAN HAS ISSUED CVT RECALLS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MODELS UP TO 2010 BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE IN THIS 2012 ALTIMA AND IN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT ON LATER MODELS. NHTSA SHOULD GET NISSAN TO EXTEND ITS RECALL/WARRANTY TO MODELS AFTER 2010 JUDGING BY THE MANY COMPLAINTS BEING REPORTED ABOUT THE SAME LOSS OF POWER ISSUE WITH THE CVT.

Mileage: 60,000

INITIALLY EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER AROUND 30,000 MILES WHILE GOING 80 MPH ON INTERSTATE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE ONLY OPTION IS TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TOOK IT TO DEALER BUT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY LOSE POWER WHILE AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED, AS WELL AS A LOUD WHINING AND HUMMING SOUND. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 8 DIFFERENT TIMES AND STILL COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. WAS TOLD IF A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THAT WOULD HELP LOCATE ISSUE. CHECK ENGINE CAME ON DURING LOSS OF POWER ISSUE, AND DEALERSHIP STILL TOLD ME COULDN'T PINPOINT PROBLEM. THE MOST RECENT LOSS OF POWER IN JUNE 2018, I WAS NEARLY STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY A SEMI TRUCK TRAVELLING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING FOR THE LOSS OF POWER AND THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL OFF TO. STILL AN ONGOING ISSUE, AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR DO ANYTHING TO ASSIST.

Mileage: 30,000

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE OIL COOLER CHANGE TWICE WITHIN 14 MONTHS OF OTHER. AND THE ENGINE OIL SENSOR.

2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD TO SHUDDER AND JERK. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED ASSISTANCE WITH THE VEHICLE REPAIR. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER NISSAN HIGHLANDS RANCH (91320 PLUM VALLEY LN, HIGHLANDS RANCH, CO 80129, (720) 907-0718) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO REVERT TO LIMP MODE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A COOLING PUMP NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED TO COOL THE TRANSMISSION WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. WHINING WHEN ACCELERATING OR SLOWING DOWN GOING UP A HILL OR GOING DOWN. NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON EARLIER MODELS BUT NOT THE 2012 ALTIMA.

Mileage: 113,000

CVT TRANSMISSION ON THE NISSAN ULTIMA 2012 HAS BEEN HAD GIVEN ME A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. UPON SEEING REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET IN HEARING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN BALTIMORE FROME YES BEFORE THE 2012 MODEL UP UNTIL NOW THAT SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN DEALERS TO FIX THIS BROW WITH ALL THE ALTER MOST THIS HAVING A STRONG WITH FAULTY EQUIPMENT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BY LOSING POWER ESPECIALLY IF YOU ONLY IN A STATE WILL CALL SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO LOSING POWER TO UPGRADE AND WANTING NOISE IS JUST CREATES A BIG PROBLEM MOON IN A STATE IF YOU DRIVE-IN IN YOUR FEWER IN A MAJOR CITY WITH THE THE VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT YOUR CONTROL.

Mileage: 137,000

LOSE OF POWER CLIMBING STEEP GRADE AT HI ALTITUDE TRANSMISSION OVER HEATING. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

Mileage: 106,000

I OWN A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING GOOD UNTILL 70000. AFTER 70K MILE ITS STARTED MAKING TOO MUCH NOISE AND AT 80K MILES ITS LOSING POWER EVEN IF I RUN THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY.THE RPM WILL STATY AT 2500 AT THIS POINT.WHEN I RESEARCHED FOUND OUT THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS HAS DESIGN FALW AND MOST OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.I CANT BELIEVE THAT NISSAN CARS LASTS FOR ONLY 70K MILES. THESE PROBLEMS ARE COMING WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN AND ITS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR.

Mileage: 80,000

WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE CVT STARTS MAKING NOISE, THE RPM GO UP TO 6,000 RPM THEN I LOOSE ENGINE POWER SUDDENLY SO THE CAR SPEED STUCK ON 40 MPH SUDDENLY AND DECREASE THE SPEED EVEN WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT JUST MAKES NOISE AND INCREASE THE RPM AND THE NOISE BUT THE SPEED DON'T INCREASE, SO A CAR BEHIND ME CRASH TAILGATING MY CAR, I'M NOW WITH SERIOUSLY INJURIES, THE NISSAN CVT IS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS, MY CAR ONLY HAS 96,000 MILES.

Mileage: 96,000

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE WHILE DRIVING IT. GOING UP THE HILL MY CAR ON A HIGHWAY IN THE DESERT WHEN THE SPEED DECLINED IT'S FROM 70MPH TO 45MPH, WHICH I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND IT WAS STUCK ON 45MPH, AND ALMOST CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO CRASH INTO ME WITH MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. A LOT OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND NOTHING'S HAS BEEN DONE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE A LIFE TO BE TAKEN IN ORDER FOR A RECALL. THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THESE CARS ARE CRAP. EVERY TIME SOMEONE WALKS INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SEEM TO BE WELL AWARE BUT NO RECALL HE BEEN DONE.

Mileage: 94,100

O HILLS AND ON WARM DAYS THE CAR LOSSES POWER AND WONT GO OVER 60 MPH THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CUASED A WRECK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE SAID IT WAS LOW ON FLUID. IT WAS CHECKED AND WAS GOOD.

Mileage: 132,000

WHEN DRIVING IN WARM WEATHER FOR 1.5 HOURS OR MORE CVT TRANSMISSION LOSES POWER AND MAKES A WHINING NOISE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE REGARDING THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON VEHICLES UP TO 2010 BECAUSE OF IT. TRANSMISSION SAYS IT IS OVERHEATING AND PUTS ITSELF INTO "SAFE MODE" THEREBY LOSING ALL POWER AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ON HILLS, ETC. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND ACCELERATION.

Mileage: 118,000

CVT TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. 6 YEARS OLD. LESS THAN 120,000 MILES. STOPPED AT REDLIGHT, COULD NOT PULL OUT OR REVERSE, CAR WOULD ONLY GO 3-5MPH. CAR ENGINE RUNS FINE.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR WITH ITS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

Mileage: 90,000

IN WARM OR HOT WEATHER, 75 DEGREES F OR ABOVE, THE TRANSMISSION GETS HOT AND FAILS TO PULL. IT GOES INTO SOME TYPE OF MODE THAT SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY RESET THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES OF LETTING THE CAR SIT WITH NOTHING ON. THE CAR WILL CONTINUE FOR A WHILE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME APPROXIMATELY TEN TIMES. THE TRIPS THAT IT HAPPENS ON ARE OVER 75-80 MILES. PLEASE REPLY WITH A POSSIBLE REMEDY.

I HAVE 135,000 MILES ON MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. AND I STARTED HEARING A WHINING NOISE AND ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THEY SAID THAT'S JUST HOW THE ALTIMA SOUNDS. NOW I AM HAVING TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THAT'S GOING TO COST ME 4,000.00. I RESEARCHED TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON THE INTERNET AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. GOING UP A HILL THE CAR WOULD WHINE OR WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR STARTED TO JERK UPON PULLING OFF AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL I LET OFF THE BRAKE THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN.

Mileage: 35,000

CVT TRANSMISSION ARE NOT , NOT CARS! THERE WAS A RECALL UP TO 2010, BUT THEY CONTINUED TO MAKE THEM WITH CVT! OFTEN WHEN DRIVING MY CAR IT LOSE ALL ACCELERATION! I WENT TO NISSAN AND THERE WAS NO ISSUE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL AND THEY SAID THAT DUE TO THIS BEING THE MAIN JOB OF THE CHT, THEY SAID A COOLING KIT CAN BE INSTALLED, WHICH IT WAS. 2 YEARS LATER, MY CAR AGAIN SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL. MY GEAR SHIFT MOVES SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES, JUST NO ACCELERATION THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW OVER 10 TIMES IN 2 DAYS!!!!!! BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS NOT SHOWING ON DIAGNOSTIC, THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT THE CARS TRANSMISSION, TRANS FLUID, OR THE GEAR SHIFT. THEY WOULDN'T DO A THING TO MY CAR! THIS IS FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH UNSAFE CONDITIONS! I AM TAKING INTO A REAL AND HONEST MECHANIC!! NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE AND THAT MANY DRIVERS ARE DRIVING DANGEROUSLY, AS THEY REFUSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING!!! THERE IS NO DIPSTICK TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OR ELSE I WOULD DO IT MYSELF. DO THE RIGHT THING AND SAVE MANY PEOPLE FROM GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS AND POTENTIALLY LOSING THEIR LIVES!!! COMING OFF AN OFF RAMP, NO ACCELERATION; DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY NO ACCELERATION, PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AFTER WARMING MY CAR UP NON ACCELERATION. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL!!!!! THIS ISSUE BEGAN 2-3 YEARS AGO, WAS TEMPORARILY FIXED WIT THE COOLING KIT THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET, AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST 5 DAYS!!!! GOOGLE THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND NISSAN OFFERING NO HELP NOR EVEN A SIMPLE MECHANIC ONCE OVER LOOK!!!! I AM A SOCIAL WORKER WHO WORKS WITH CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE, OFTEN TRANPORTING THEM FROM UNSAFE CONDITIONS TO SITUATIONS THAT I AM PROMISING ARE MORE SAFE AND COMFORTABLE! I CAN NO LONGER PROMISE THEM THIS IF MY CAR IS UNSAFE!! I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A MINIMUM OF 5 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! DEALERSHIP NO HELP!!

Mileage: 96,000

MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. JUST UNDER 7 YEARS OLD AND MY TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING AND RPM 'S WERE HIGH WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 107,000

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DOING SPEED 70 TO 80MPH, VEHICLE BEGINS TO REDUCE SPEED AND GOES INTO LIKE A SAFE MODE. VERY UNSAFE ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. WHILE SEARCHING ON GOOGLE FIND OUT CVT TRANSMISSION VECHILE ONLY HAS 81823 MILES ON IT. NISSAN NEEDS TO COVER THE WARRANTY TO FIX THE VECHILE.

Mileage: 81,823

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW IT REFUSED TO MAINTAIN MY SPEED OR ACCELERATE AT ALL. I HAD TO PULL INTO THE MEDIAN TO AVOID BEING HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER. I HAD MY SISTER AND TWO OF OUR LITTLE KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME IT HAS DONE THIS IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND THE MECHANICS CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE READ SEVERAL PLACES WHERE OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.... I BELIEVE THEIR IS A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT WITH EITHER THE ACCELERATION OR TRANSMISSION.... IT JUST REVS UP SOUNDS LIKE IT'S DOING SOMETHING BUT NOT INCREASING SPEED. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT OCCURS MOSTLY AFTER I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING A WHILE...LIKE ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF OR SO

Mileage: 60

MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2012 HAS SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN SPEED WHILE TAKING TRIPS LESS THAN 40 MILES. DRIVING ON FAST LANE ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 70 MILES THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT REDUCES ALL BY ITSELF TO 35-40 MPH AND I ALMOST GOT INTO IN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I DID TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT HAD TO GET OFF THE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 35

2012 NISSAN ALTIMA SL 115,425 MILES AND TRANSMISSION DEAD.

Mileage: 115,425

SINCE WHEN MY CAR HAD 31,000 MILES IT'S BEEN WINGING AND LOSING POWER RAPIDLY, NO ACCELERATION, IT'S A CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE. IT'S A REALLY DANGEROUS CAR. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SO MANY TIMES . NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION ARE VERY DANGER. IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FREEWAY BECAUSE IT CAN GO FROM 65 MPH DOWN TO 5 MPH RAPIDLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND PROTECT THE LIFE OF PEOPLE.

Mileage: 31,000

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS ON A TRIP THE CVT TRANSMISSION STOPS ACCELERATING AND YOU SLOW TO A CRAWL WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WAS ALMOST KILLED BY A BIG RIG WHO COULDN'T SLOW DOWN IN TIME

Mileage: 85,000

THE 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE 3.5 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN SUDDEN LOSS OF CLUTCH PRESSURE OCCURRED. THIS RESULTED IN THE INABILITY TO CHANGE GEARS AND THEREFORE EFFECTIVELY CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SPEED SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE GIVEN GEAR. THIS WAS THE RESULT OF A FAULTY CONCENTRIC CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER.

Mileage: 75,000

MY 2012 ALTIMA 2.5S HAS SHUT DOWN TRANSMISSION WISE(CVT) AND IT WILL NOT SPEED UP EVEN WHEN GAS PEDAL IS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR! TODAY IT DID THIS FOR A TOTAL OF 120 MILES...THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU CANT GET YOUR CAR OUT OF THE WAY OF EVEN GET TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN THE GAS IS PUSHED DOWN...I BARELY MADE IT HOME TODAY WITH OF COURSE A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR AND MY CAR WOULDNT RESPOND...I GOOGLED "2012 ALTIMA WILL NOT SPEED UP GOING UPHILL" WHAT I FOUND ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT...WHATS IT GOING TO TAKE? SOMEONE GETTING KILLED WHICH IS WHAT IT USUALLY TAKES TO GET SOMETHING POSITIVE DONE? NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS IMMEDIATELY..

Mileage: 94,000

WHEN TRAVELING ON FREEWAY AT 70-100 MPH CAR WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION AND SLOWLY SLOW DOWN TO 40 MPH NO MATTER HOW FAR THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. WILL NOT REGAIN POWER UNTIL THE CAR IS PULLED OVER SHUT OFF AND WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES RESTARTED AND WILL REPEAT AGAIN WITHIN 15 -20 MINUTES OF REACHING 70 MPH.

Mileage: 75,000

SUSTAINED DRIVING MORE THAN AN HOUR THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND FORCES SENSOR TO "FAIL SAFE MODE" CAUSING VEHICLE TO DRIVE ONLY AT LOW SPEED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE OPEN ROAD DUE TO DRIVING WAY UNDER POSTED SPEED OR HAVING TO STOP N ROAD SIDE.

Mileage: 92,300

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 75MPH, MY CAR JUST STOPPED GOING. I DECELERATED VERY QUICKLY. I WAS PRESSING GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED. IT JUST WOULD NOT GO. THE RPMS WENT OVER 3,000. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ANY WARNING IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THIS EVENT THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THERE WERE A LOT OF VEHICLES ON ROAD AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME AND A TRUCK HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING BEHIND ME. THE TRUCK AND OTHER VEHICLES WERE ALL SWERVING ON EITHER SIDE OF ME TO GET OUT OF MY LANE AND AS A RESULT, I COULD NOT GET MY VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD UNTIL THEY ALL PASSED. AS I KEPT COASTING ALONG WAITING FOR OPPORTUNITY TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, I KEPT PRESSING GAS PEDAL. EVENTUALLY THAT WORKED AND I BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN, BUT MY CAR WAS ACCELERATING VERY SLOWLY. I DROVE TO EXIT AND GOT OFF OF HIGHWAY. I WAITED ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE RETURNING HOME SAME WAY. ON DRIVE HOME ACCELERATING WAS SLOW AND RPMS WERE ERRACTIC. THERE WAS ALSO A WHINING NOISE WHEN I GAVE CAR GAS. THIS HAPPENED ONCE MORE. I NO LONGER DRIVE CAR ON HIGHWAY SO I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED IT STOPPING WHILE DRIVING, BUT IT STILL WHINES, ACCELERATES SLOWLY, AND RPMS ARE ERRATIC. VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED AT SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP. MY CAR ONLY HAS 108,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE NEVER MISSED ANY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WHICH DEALERSHIP PERFORMED MAJORITY OF IT. THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY COVERED UP TO 60,000 MILES. NOW I'M TOLD THAT AT 108,000 MILES, I NEED A NEW TCC, VALVE BODY, AND SOLENOIDS.

Mileage: 108,000

AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE FOR 1 HOUR OR MORE, VEHICLE GOES INTO FAIL-SAFE MODE, MEANING THE RPMS WILL NOT GO OVER 2500. SO, IF ONE IS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH, THEN ARRIVES AT A HILL, THEN THE VEHICLE SPEED COULD DECREASE TO 40 MPH. ACCORDING TO MECHANIC, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NISSAN HAS A SERVICE KIT FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I AM NOT SURE WHY IT IS NOT A RECALL...

Mileage: 80,000

TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. CAR STOPPED MOVING.

Mileage: 120,000

AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR FOR 45 MIN ON THE FREEWAY GOING AROUND 70-85 MPH THE CAR LOSES POWER AND ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. ONCE I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY AT THE INTERSECTION WHEN I ACCELERATED MY CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS ALMOST BEING REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS SAME ISSUE. THEY SAY ITS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING AND GOING INTO SAFE MODE IN HOT TEMPERATURES. MY VEHICLE WAS DOING THIS WHEN IT WAS 65 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I THINK SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND WITH THE SAFETY BEING A CONCERN NISSAN SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Mileage: 130,000

1ST INCIDENT: DRIVING ON HWY 5 IN CA ON A HOT DAY AT FREEWAY SPEED CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DROPPED BELOW 30 MPH. PULLED OFF OF HWY AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND NO LONGER EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. 2ND INCIDENT: DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 80 IN CA IN 95-100 DEGREE WEATHER. GOT OFF FREEWAY AND CAR LOST POWER AGAIN THIS TIME NOT GOING OVER 5 MPH. TOOK VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING BUT "MILEAGE IN" WAS THE SAME AS "MILEAGE OUT" WHICH TELLS ME THEY DIDN'T DRIVE VERY FAR IF AT ALL. THEY PUT IT ON DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND GOT A CODE SAYING "CVT A AT 4" AND "CVT B AT 7" CVT HAS BEEN OVERHEATED. RECOMMEND REPLACE VALVE BODY AND INSTALL EXTERNAL COOLER FOR CONCERN. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAME ISSUE WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION.

Mileage: 110,000

IN WARM WEATHER, CAR CONSISTENTLY GOES INTO LIMP MODE. IT WILL ONLY ACHIEVE SPEEDS OF AROUND 30MPH EVEN THOUGH RPMS ARE ACCELERATING. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND WAIT FOR 20 MINUTES IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN OUTDOOR TEMPERATURES ARE COOLER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND IS APPARENTLY A WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS.

Mileage: 150,000

I HAVE 78K MILES AND MY CAR IS LOOSING POWER WHEN I AM DRIVING. LOOSES POWER AFTER SITTING AT A LIGHT, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR BUCKS AS IF ITS GETTING STUCK IN IT'S GEARS AND WHEN I GET UP TO A CERTAIN SPEED THE CAR MAKES A SQUEALING NOISE.

MY VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE OVER 700 COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE NHTSA AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND THIS ONGOING ISSUE IS GOING TO HURT OR EVEN KILL SOMEONE. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE CVT ISSUES AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. THIS RECENTLY HAPPENED THIS PAST WEEKEND (2ND TIME NOW). WE TRAVELED MAYBE 35 MILES, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO WHINE JUST BEFORE WE REACHED THE EXIT, I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. NO LIGHTS, NO WARNINGS, NOTHING STATING THERE WAS AN ISSUE. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP, WHERE THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AS IT IS MOST LIKELY THE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS THEN, AGAIN TOWED TO THE DEALER. KEN GARFF NISSAN. WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT MY 5 YEAR OLD CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION! A YEAR TO DATE I HAD TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, SERPENTINE BELT ECT! THIS IS NOT OKAY AND NOT ACCEPTABLE. SHOULD I HAVE HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND LOST ACCELERATION ON THE FREEWAY, I CANT EVENT FATHOM. THIS ISSUE TRANSMISSION DEFECT HAS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRED THE USE, MARKET VALUE AND MOST OF ALL THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. MY FAMILY IS WORTH MORE THAN THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN MORE THAN HELPFUL AND THEY AGREED A 5 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES. I AM ASKING THAT NISSAN DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS PROBLEM AND CARE ABOUT THE CONSUMER. I TRULY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT NISSAN CARES ABOUT THEIR CONSUMERS AND I REALLY HOPE THAT THEY REVIEW THIS COMPLAINT AND ACT UPON IT, DOING THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THESE ENGINES. I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY HOW MANY NISSAN OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE BBB, CARGURU, NISSAN AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS. PLEASE, HAVE THIS LOOKED INTO. I KNOW NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE AND THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

Mileage: 36,000

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AFTER 65K MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS ONLY UP TO 60K THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME OR WARRANT ANY REPAIRS. BECAUSE OF DEALER COST I WAS ABLE TO REBUILD IT AT A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP FOR $4000.00. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR, THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING DAMGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN HAD A RECALL ON MODELS UP TO TO 2010 AND ALSO GAVE EXTENDED WARRANTIES. HOWEVER THE 2012 IS NOT ON THIS REACALL. I FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST AND A RECALL FOR MY MODEL SHOULD TAKE PLACE. MY COST WAS 4000 DOLLARS, IT JUST DOESNT SEEM FAIR. NO TRANSMISSION SHULD GO OUT BEFORE 100K. THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS VEHICLE AND IT QUIT FUNCTIONING IN TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHERE SHE COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD OWN UP TO.

DRIVING DOWN FL. I75 DID NOT HAVE POWER TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. PUSH THE GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TINES NO POWER. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH. AFTER SEVER MILES SAFELY GOT OFF I75. FOUND OUT CVT OVER HEATED AND SHUT ENGINE DOWN. NISSAN WAITING FOR SOME ONE TO GET KILLED. IS THAT WHAT NISSAN IS WAITING FOR? THERE IS A FIX FOR OVER HEATING CVTS.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE ROAD HEADING TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT. IT WAS A SUNDAY NIGHT, IT JUST STARTED MISTING RAIN. I DROVE ON MY USUAL CURVY 2 LANE PAVED HIGHWAY AND THEN PROCEED ONTO MY USUAL 4 LANE PAVED HIGHWAY TO MCDONALD'S WHERE I GOT FOOD INSIDE AND THEN UPON LEAVING DECIDED TO GO THROUGH DRIVE THROUGH FOR ANOTHER ITEM. I LEFT AND HEADED APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES BACK ON THE SAME ROAD I TRAVELED TO TOWN ON. AS I WAS ON THE 2 LANE ITHE ALL OF A SUDDEN APPEARED TO BE RAINING HEAVIER AND I COULD TELL BY THE RAIN CROSSING OVER MY HEADLIGHTS. SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL CAUGHT MY EYE, IT LOOKED LIKE ORANGE RAIN, I ASSUMED JUST THE APPEARANCE FROM ONE OF THE BULBS. UNSURE THOUGH, I CONTINUED DRIVING BUT SCOOTED TO THE EDGE OF MY SEAT AND SET UP TALL TO GETTA BETTER LOOK, AT THAT TIME I SEEN FLAMES. THE CAR WAS ON FIRE, I COULDN'T PULL OFF SIDE OF ROAD AS IT HAS NO DITCHES JUST RAVINES SO I SLOWED DOWN AND TRIED UNLOCKING MY DOOR TO OPEN IT WOULDN'T AND MY WINDOW WOULDN'T ROLL DOWN, TERRIFIED I PROCEEDED TO CALL 911 AND INFORM THEM MY CAR WAS ON FIRE AND I WAS IN IT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WAS HOPING TO GET TO NEXT ROAD I KNEW I COULD PULL OFF. THE ENTIRE TIME NEVER DID ANYTHING WARNING LIGHTS OR GAUGES COME ON NOR DID THE TEMPERATURE RISE. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO EXIST THE CAR FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND FIRE DEPARTMENT FINALLY ARRIVED. THEYOU GOT IT PUT OUT BUT IT WAS COMPLETE LOSS. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHY THIS FIRE HAPPENED I TOOK WELL CARE OF MY CAR, MAINTAINING IT REGULARLY AS RECOMMENDED AND ALWAYS CAUTIOUSLY DRIVING IT. I HAVE ANOTHER NISSAN ALTIMA THAT'S STILL RUNNING STRONG WITH 300,000.00 MILES ON IT, SO THIS SHOULD SHOW I CARE FOR MY VEHICLES ABOVE WHAT'S RECOMMENDED.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAR ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED TO APPROX. 5000 RPM. PULLED OVER AND UPON ACCELERATING AGAIN THE CAR WOULD DRIVE BUT THE ENGINE REVVED VERY HIGH AND THE CVT WOULDN'T CHANGE GEAR RATIOS ("SHIFT") AS IT NORMALLY DOES. REALIZED CAR WOULD ACCELERATE AND NOT REV AS HIGH IF I ACCELERATED EXTREMELY SLOWLY. CAR HOWEVER IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. ALSO COULDN'T DRIVE ABOVE 55 MPH WITHOUT THE ENGINE REVVING VERY HIGH APPROACHING REDLINE. AFTER APPROX 5 MORE MILES OF DRIVING THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND I SCANNED THE CODE. SHOWING CODE P1778 WHICH APPEARS TO BE A STEPPER MOTOR PROBLEM WITH THE CVT. CALLED DEALER AND SOUNDS LIKE THEY DON'T FIX CVT, JUST REPLACE FOR BETWEEN $4000-$5000. VERY DISAPPOINTED NISSAN HASN'T RESOLVED THESE PROBLEMS YET AND THAT THEY TREAT A $5000 PART AS A REPLACEMENT ITEM AND NOT ONE THAT CAN BE FIXED.

DRIVING VEHICLE AT TIME OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HAVE A 2012 NISSAN 2.5L ALTIMA WITH RECENT EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT JUST EXPIRED. (OF COURSE). I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE CAR AND ITS HESITATION AND CHUGGING ISSUES SINCE OCTOBER 2015. I BROUGHT CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS CONCERNED ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE. FIRST TIME IN SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT THE SCOPE SHOWED NO WARNING CODES AND RECOMMENDATION WAS TO COMPLETE THE 100,000 MILE MAINTENANCE OF FLUSHING TRANSMISSION AND SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT, WHICH WAS DONE AND CAR SEEMS TO RUIN OK... FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN SAME ISSUES. WE TOOK A TRIP TO COLORADO FROM MINNESOTA AND THE PROBLEM WITH HESITATION AND CHUGGING WITH AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFTING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN AND AGAIN IN DECEMBER WITH TECHNICIAN NOW DRIVING THE CAR WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS SHOWING UP. CAR CONTINUED TO GET WORSE WITH NOW NO ACCELERATION, SO I TOOK IT IN A WEEK AGO WHEN THE CAR WAS SHOWING ALOT MORE SIGNS OF SOMETHING WRONG, AND TECHNICIAN DROVE WITH ME IN THE CAR AND STATED TO SERVICE MANAGER THAT HE DIDN'T EXPERIENCE ANYTHING THAT INDICATED AN ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY, OF COURSE ON A SATURDAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MILES AN HOUR AND CREATED ALMOST A MASSIVE ACCIDENT ON LOCAL CITY STREET. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS FINALLY GIVEN THE NEWS (WHICH I KNEW ALL THE TIME) THAT CODES WHERE INDICATING A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND UNFORTUNATELY WAS IN NEED OF A NEW TRANSMISSION! COST $3,900 AND SOME CHANGE!!! THAT'S WHEN I STARTED RESEARCHING AND SAW THIS PROBLEM DATED BACK TO 2008 WITH NISSAN PRODUCTS. NISSAN DID SETTLE ON A CLASS ACTION SUIT BY PROVIDING CAR OWNERS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, YET KNOWINGLY, THEY CONTINUED TO MANUFACTURE CARS WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION! I AM OUTRAGED THAT DEALERS CONTINUE TO SELL THESE CARS.

I WAS TRAVELING FROM ALABAMA TO ATLANTA GEORGIA ON INTERSTATE I-20. AS I TRAVEL ABOUT A HOUR AND A HALF INTO THE TRIP THE CAR BEGIN TO DECLINE IN SPEED. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 80-85 MPH AND HAD TO MOVE OVER FROM THE LEFT LANE TO GET IN THE RIGHT LANE IN ORDER TO EXIT OFF, IT DECLINE DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH. AS I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR, IT DID NOTHING. IT WOULDN'T GO PAST 40MPH. IT CONTINUED SO I PULLED THE CAR OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF LETTING THE CAR SET AND I BEGIN TO START THE TRIP BACK THE CAR WAS FINE. SO ON MY WAY BACK TO ALABAMA IT DID IT AGAIN. WHEN I RETURNED BACK FROM THE TRIP THAT SUNDAY I WENT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER THAT MONDAY MORNING AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. IT WOULD COST ME $5000 FOR A NEW ONE OR $3500 FOR A USED ONE. AS I LOOK AT THESE COMPLAINTS, THIS IS A NISSAN PROBLEM. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR AND AS I SEE OTHERS. NISSAN NEEDS TO PUT A RECALL ON THIS FOR IT IS A PROBLEM!!!

I HAVE HAD THE ISSUES OF LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING MY ALTIMA AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR I WOULD LOSE ALL POWER . I WOULD BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MOVING WITH TRAFFIC AT A SPEED OF 75 -80 MPH AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS MY CAR WILL START TO LOSE POWER AND DROP ALL THE WAY TO 40 MPH . NOW I AM TRYING TO GO FROM THE FAST LANE OVER TWO OTHER LANES WHILE LOSING POWER . I AM LUCKY THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN REAR ENDED AT THIS POINT . I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO NISSAN SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2012 I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO NISSAN ON OCT 2013 , MAY 2015 AND JUNE 2016 THAT I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR . IN 2013 AND 2015 I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR THEN IN JUNE 2016 I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION . I RECEIVED A QUOTE OF $2304.72 AND 10 HOURS OF LABOR IN JUNE 2016 NOW AUG 29 2016 I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT WILL BE OVER $3500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION . THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT DATED NOV 25 2015 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE I AM HAVING MY TRANSMISSION HAS FINALLY GONE AND I THINK IT IS JUST WRONG THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT NISSAN KNOWS IS BUILT POORLY .THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET SERIOUSLY HURT

8/12/16 I WAS DRIVING FROM SCHAUMBURG IL. TO LA CROSSE WI WITH MY DAUGHTER IN MY CAR AND MY SON FOLLOWING BEHIND. DRIVE IS APPROX 3 HRS & 50 MINS. THE WEATHER OUTSIDE HIGH 80'S & HUMID. AN HOUR INTO MY TRIP ON 90WEST IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. WENT TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO TO 20 MPH WITH MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR & IT TOOK SOME TIME. THE RPMS DIDNT MOVE, THE CAR DIDNT REV, THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO LIGHTS DIMMING ON THE INTERIOR & THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS JUST WHERE IT SHOULD BE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE. WHEN APPROACHING THE WI DELLS 2 HOURS INTO MY TRIP & AN HOUR & A HALF REMAINING, I WAS IN THE "FAST LANE" OF TRAFFIC DOING ABOUT 80 MPH, I WENT TO ACCELERATE MORE I NOTICED THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING. ONLY NOW MY SPEED WAS RAPIDLY DECREASING. I MOVED OVER & GOT OFF ON THE NEAREST EXIT STILL ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION. HESITANT ON SHUTTING THE CAR OFF NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING. CALLED MY BROTHER & DESCRIBED THE EVENT I HAD EXPERIENCED. ADVISED TO SHUT IT DOWN THINKING MAYBE THE SYSTEM JUST NEEDED A RESET. WAITED 20 MINS & ADVISED MY SON THAT WE WOULD STAY IN THE "SLOW" LANE. CAR STARTED RIGHT UP & WENT THE HOUR & 30 MINS WITH NO PROBLEM. CAR SAT AT THE HOTEL WE WERE STAYING AT ALL NIGHT. MORNING OF THE 13TH DID SHORT TRIPS, GOT LUNCH & ATTEND A MEETING NEAR CAMPUS. CAR WAS JUST AS IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. 4 PM CST I GOT ON 90E TO HEAD HOME. THE SAME 3HR 50 MIN 248 MILE TRIP. OUTSIDE MID 80'S NOT AS HUMID AS THE DAY BEFORE. 1 HR & 30 MIN FROM MY HOME DOING 80/85 MPH, NOW IN VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION AREAS THAT DO NOT PROVIDE A SHOULDER, MY CAR STARTS TO LOSE ACCELERATION WHILE I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVING ONE THE INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY AT 55-70 MPH. THE CAR WILL DECELERATE AND SLOWLY LOSE SPEED. I CAN SLAM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS IN VERY HOT WEATHER. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS IN MOTION, AND SOMETIMES ON A HILL. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE REAR-ENDED WHILE HAULING CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE. IF I STOP THE CAR AND WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I CAN START IT UP AND CONTINUE ON GOING 300 OR MORE MILES BEFORE IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS HAD HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 4-5 MONTHS, BUT NOW IT IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT AND IT WAS NOT GIVING A CODE. I TOOK IT TO EAST TENNESSEE NISSAN IN MORRISTOWN, TN, WHO COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM BUT SAID SIMILAR CARS ARE EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I TOOK IT TO A LICENSED TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO COULD NOT GET A CODE. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP SAID IT COULD BE A PROBLEM STARTING WITH THE VALVE BODY OF THE TRANSMISSION AS HE HAS SEEN AS MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE 2011-2012 MODELS AS THE EARLIER MODELS THAT GOT EXTENDED WARRANTIES. BOTH PLACES SAID THEY COULD NOT GIVE A GUARANTEED FIX BECAUSE IT IS NOT SHOWING THEM A PROBLEM. YESTERDAY, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES ON OUR WAY HOME FROM VACATION, ALMOST GETTING US HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. FINALLY, AFTER 6 RESTARTS YESTERDAY, THE CAR IS SHOWING CODE P0744, WHICH IS TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH INTERMITTENT WHICH WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE DANGER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED.

CAR LOSES ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING. I NOTICED IT DOES THIS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE GETS HOT. I TOOK MY CAR INTO NISSAN LAST YEAR (WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY) AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BESIDES IT NEEDING BRAKES. NOW THAT THE WEATHER IS GETTING HOTTER (PALM SPRINGS, CA 120 DEGREES) AND MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY (75,000 MILES) IT'S DOING IT AGAIN!! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS! SINCE I KNOW IT'S BEEN HAPPENING I'VE BEEN TRYING TO USE CRUISE CONTROL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ON THE FREEWAY (GOING ABOUT 65-70) BECAUSE I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO DO IT AGAIN! LAST WEEKEND I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY 3 TIMES BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 40 MPH!! I READ ONLINE THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED WITH A RECALL!

I BOUGHT MY CAR PRETTY MUCH BRAND NEW (IT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE 20 MILES ON IT). MY FIRST TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING AROUND 30,000 MILES. EVEN THOUGH I ASKED MY SERVICE ADVISOR TO CHECK IT, HE ASSURED ME THE TECH'S CHECKED IT AND THE ONLY THING LEAKING WAS FROM THE AC. I LEFT, PUT THE CAR ON A LIFT, TOOK PICTURES, AND BOUGHT THEM TO THE DEALER. THEY THEN REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. AROUND 90,000 MILES, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES GETTING THE CAR TO GO AFTER A COMPLETE STOP. ITS VERY RANDOM BUT IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN YIELDING TO TRAFFIC, I HAD PLENTY OF TIME. HOWEVER MY CAR WAS CRAWLING FOR 30 SECONDS OR SO. I AM GLAD I DIDN'T GET STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION. WHEN A LIGHT TURNS GREEN, PEOPLE WILL BEEP THEIR HORN AT ME, OR TRY TO CUT THE PEOPLE OFF IN THE OTHER LANES TO PASS ME. I FRANTICALLY SEARCHED THE WEB TO FIND THAT TONS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH NISSAN ALTIMAS OF DIFFERENT YEARS NEAR MINE. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THEIR WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS BETWEEN CHAT FORMS, COMPLAINT WEBSITES, AND EVEN SO MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS. YOU CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, BUT IT CRAWLS FOR A RANDOM AMOUNT OF TIME (MAYBE UP TO A MINUTE). HERE IS SOMEONE WHO CAPTURED IT ON VIDEO ON A CAR WITHOUT EVEN 30,000: HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=ULIODPOI1_M I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WARRANTY IS ONLY GOOD FOR 12,000 MILES OR 12 MONTHS. OTHER COMPANIES HAVE LONGER WARRANTY PERIODS FOR THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. FORD HAS 2 YEARS. DOES NISSAN KNOW HOW AWFUL THEIR TRANSMISSIONS ARE SO THEY WON'T COVER THEM FOR A LONGER PERIOD? I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, AND I FEEL LIKE I COULD BREAK DOWN AT ANY TIME, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR PAYMENT RIGHT NOW. PLEASE DON'T LET NISSAN GET AWAY WITH THIS ANY LONGER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA ON A BUSY 4 LANE ROAD. I WAS IN THE TURNING LANE WHEN MY CAR REFUSED TO ACCELERATE. I HAD POWER AND THE ENGINE REVVED WHEN I PUSHED ON THE PEDAL, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR THEN JERKED ITS WAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. A FEW HUNDRED MORE YARDS AND IT STOPPED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I RESTARTED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAILED CVT TRANSMISSION. I CALLED NISSAN AMERICA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP, AND THEY SAID TOW IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD REVIEW IT AND SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID MY CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT WILL COST OVER $4000 TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS EVENT. I DID NOT KNOW WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT THE PROBLEMS NISSAN HAS HAD WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. AFTER A WEEK OF WAITING, NISSAN AMERICA CAME BACK AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT HELP. THEY WOULD NOT OFFER A REASON WHY. I ASKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT NISSAN RETROACTIVELY DOUBLED THE WARRANTY ON MODELS BEFORE 2010, WOULD THEY DO THAT FOR MY 2012. I WAS TOLD NO. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A MANAGER AND I WAS REFUSED, SAYING THE REVIEW PROCESS IS COMPLETE. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT CONSIDERING WHAT HAPPENED. I AM ANGRY THAT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION OCCURRED. AND I AM FRUSTRATED THAT AFTER SUGGESTING THEY MIGHT HELP, NISSAN WASTED ANOTHER WEEK OF MY TIME, WHEN I COULD HAVE GOTTEN IT FIXED BY MY MECHANIC, INSTEAD OF BRINGING IT TO A DEALERSHIP.

CVT TRANSMISSION AND (UN)"SAFE MODE" THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE TRIPS ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS 60-80 MPH THAT ARE USUALLY IN EXCESS OF 70 MILES. THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION WILL GO INTO "SAFE MODE". THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION WILL NO LONGER REV ABOVE 2900 RPM WHICH INHIBITS THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SAFE HIGHWAY SPEEDS ESPECIALLY IF ANY SORT OF INCLINE IS INTRODUCED (IT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN A SPEED OF 45MPH AND THERE IS MINIMAL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE). THE ONLY REMEDY I HAVE DISCOVERED IS TO LET THE VEHICLE COOL DOWN. AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE AT ~ 40,000 MILES THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE (CODES OR OBVIOUS DEFECTS). AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE, HOWEVER NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OUT TO 100,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION WILL STILL GO INTO SAFE MODE FROM TIME TO TIME AND HAS ADDITIONALLY BEGAN MAKING A QUITE OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD WHINING NOISE (AT ~ 60,000 MILES, SIMILAR TO WHEN A POWER STEERING PUMP IS A ABOUT TO FAIL).

ALRIGHT SO TODAY I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, JUST AFTER LEAVING MY CAR KEPT SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR. I GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THEN IM STUCK IN 5TH GEAR FOR THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. I GOT THE FLASH CODES AND DID A BIT OF RESEARCH, HERE IS WHAT I FOUND. 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA SEDAN - TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT PAUSIBLE CAUSES: - FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE - TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE HARNESS IS OPEN OR SHORTED - TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE CIRCUIT POOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION - LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL - DIRTY TRANSMISSION FLUID I HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES THEN START MY CARE FOR THE SENSOR TO RESET SO THAT I CAN DRIVE MY DESIRED SPEED LIMIT. ONCE IT GETS HOT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE MORE THAN 60-65MPH. THE DEALER SAYS I NEED TO NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE 95,000 MILES ON MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S AND IS ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS. IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ME TO TRAVEL AS MUCH BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES. AFTER AN HOUR OF DRIVING, MY TRANSMISSION WHINES AND MY SPEED LIMIT DROPS WHEN DRIVING THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DEADLY. I FEAR THAT BECAUSE OF THE DECREASE IN SPEED COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.

TODAY WAS THE SECOND TIME I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF LONG. MY CAR BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 60 MPH. WHILE I HAD THE GAS PEDAL DOWN COMPLETELY ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AS THE CAR COULD NOT GAIN SPEED. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH ALL THE TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY, I HAD TO MERGE OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT FOR SAFETY. I DROVE MY CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER TO NISSAN SO THEY COULD VERIFY THIS ISSUE. THEY FAILED TO HELP ME IN ANY WAY RECOMMENDING I INVEST IN A CVT COOLER, DUE TO NOT BEING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. A COUPLE MONTHS BACK WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I TOOK IT TO NISSAN WITH THE SAME ISSUE, AT THAT TIME THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DETECT AN ISSUE. BUT NOW MY WARRANTY IS UP THEY'RE SUGGESTING WHAT THE CAR NEEDS. I'M VERY UPSET WITH HOW DANGEROUS THIS CAN BE AND HOW CARELESS NISSAN IS. IT'S LIKE THEY ARE JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SERIOUSLY BE HURT IN AN ACCIDENT TO THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

ON 5/16/2013 AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF HIGHWAY DRIVING MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE IN ORDER NOT TO GET HIT FROM TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. AFTER AWHILE I WAS ABLE TO LIMP INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. NISSAN SERVICE SAID IT WAS A ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM). NISSAN REPLACE AND REPROGRAMMED THE ECM UNDER WARRANTY. ON 7/11/2013 THE SAME ISSUE RETURNED LEAVING ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH NO POWER ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS! AGAIN I LIMPED BACK TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THIS TIME THEY DIAGNOSED THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THEY GRACEFULLY COVERED IT EVEN THOUGH I NOW HAD 41K MILES. NOW LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER 5/13/2015 MY CAR LOST POWER JUST AS IT HAD BEFORE ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, NARROWLY GETTING CREAMED BEFORE PULLING OVER! BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND AT FIRST THEY REPORTED NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I TOLD THEM IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS HOT, THEY REPLIED THAT THEY COULDN'T DRIVE IT THAT LONG! FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL CALLS THE DEALER FOUND A TSB (NTB-13-079) IDENTIFYING THE SENSOR ON THE TRANSMISSION FORCED IT TO GO INTO LIMP MODE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GETS HOT. NISSAN'S FIX IS TO SELL ME A $640. TRANSMISSION COOLER. THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS PUTTING DRIVERS AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY AND NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT IT!

WORK/REPAIR ORDERS, AVAILABLE ON REQUEST. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN ALTIMA'S FEATURING THE CTV TRANSMISSION. 1) PURCHASED THE CAR FROM HERTZ, 12/13. 2) ACCELERATION PROBLEM NOTED WHEN FIRST EXTENDED TRIP WAS TAKEN TO BAKERSFIELD IN 5/14. 3) PROBLEM: WHEN THE ENGINE WAS WARM THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILS AND CAR CAN NOT ACCELERATE. CAR FAILED GOING OVER THE "GRAPEVINE" IN GORMAN, CA. 4) UNDER NISSAN 60M WARRANTY, TOOK THE CAR TO GET CHECKED. CAR HAD 59M MILES ON IT. EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS A THROTTLE SENSOR. FIXED IT UNDER WARRANTY. 5) NEXT TRIP TO LAS VEGAS, GOING UP THE I-15 THROUGH VICTORVILLE, AUG/2014. THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. ACCELERATION FAILED WHEN ENGINE WAS WARM AND CLIMBING A GRADUAL INCLINE. 6) TOOK THE CAR BACK TO BP NISSAN. NOW THEY CLAIM TO KNOW FOR SURE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT WITH THE THROTTLE SENSOR BUT WITH THE CTV TRANSMISSION. UNFORTUNATELY THEY NOW CLAIM MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND REQUIRES A $4,000.00 NEW TRANSMISSION. 7) AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE NEW ALTIMA CTV TRANSMISSION. THEY NEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR IN WITH 59M MILES ON IT. THEY "KICKED THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD" HOPING I WOULDN'T COME BACK UNTIL AFTER THE 60M MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED. DANGEROUS SITUATION HAVING TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR. THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME A "DECLINE OF SERVICE" LETTER. PLEASE ADVISE.

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 17 GOING UPHILL WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR WENT INTO WHAT IS KNOWN AS "LIMP MODE"(LOSS OF POWER). MY SPEED DROPPED TO 25 MPH. I HAD NUMEROUS TRUCKS ALMOST REAR END ME, UNTIL I COULD LIMP ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO A NISSAN DEALER IN FLAGSTAFF AZ. WHEN I GOT THERE HE POINTED TO FOUR OTHER VEHICLES AND SAID TO ME "WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU, HAPPENED TO THOSE OTHER 4 NISSANS RIGHT THERE". I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER " YOU NEED A TRANSMISSION COOLER INSTALLED BECAUSE OF THE HOT CLIMATE WE LIVE IN THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, THE TRANSMISSION GETS OVERHEATED, IT'S A DEFECT NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR AWHILE NOW". I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED WHEN THEIR CAR LOOSES POWER ON AN INTERSTATE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ONLY TO BE TOLD "SINCE NO CODE POPPED UP NOTHING CAN BE DONE". THE POWER TRAIN IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE TRIED GOING THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS WITH NISSAN, BUT IT'S BEEN IN VAIN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM YET THEY WILL NOT RECALL THESE VEHICLES. AGAIN SOONER OR LATER THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND I'M AFRAID IT COULD BE FATAL. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND WERE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. ACCELERATOR PEDDLE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE MOST WE COULD GO WAS 45 MPH. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE SHIFT SELECT ASSEMBLY THAT HAD BROKEN/MALFUNCTIONED AND THE CAR HAD GONE IN TO FAILURE MODE. THERE WAS NOT WARNING LIGHT AT ALL AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS ON THE INTERSTATE. FIRST I FEEL THAT THIS PART OF THE CAR SHOULD NEVER HAVE BROKEN IN A 2-YEAR OLD CAR AND I HAVE TO WONDER IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE PART FOR THIS MODEL YEAR OF THE ALTIMA. SECOND, IF AND WHEN THIS PIECE DOES BREAK OR MALFUNCTION, THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH TO MAKE THE DRIVER AWARE AND PULL OVER. NISSAN IS AWARE OF MY CONCERNS AS I HAVE SHARED THEM WITH THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT. *TR
