It smells like gas when I start the car. It's also wasting alot of gas. I have to put gas every couple of days. I spend more money putting gas. The steering and suspension and the tires keep giving me problems to where the brakes locked up on their own and now it drives really bad especially on the freeway. The steering wheel moves alot when I'm on the freeway sometimes feel like I'm loosing control of the car. The gas pedal gets stuck and the gear shift gets stuck in park. I have to use a nail filer the metal ones and push and hold the shift lock for it to move into gear. The car keeps saying Key not Detected even tho it's in the car with me. I just got the car from a small dealership in pomona in April of 2023

Metal shavings detected in transmission oil (under code P17F1) - car only has 90,000 miles. Dealership quoted $5,760 to fix. This is a common problem with the make/model and should have been recalled. Current extended warranty only covers 5 years, previous models' (Nissan altima 2007-2010) extended warranty for this same issue covered 10 years.

transmission failed twice. first time i would have to floor the gas for the car to accelerate. i took to dealer, warranty was still active and transmission was replaced. again, about 13 or 14 mo later the transmission failed again. i had it replaced again. i have receipts for all work. the car has been driving fair the last 12 months.

The vehicle jerks and stutters while accelerating. In some cases it can lose power completely, which is extremely dangerous when driving at any speed, but particularly on the highway. I’ve also researched this issue online and it is a well known transmission defect with Nissan CVT transmissions and many people have experienced the same issue. I’d be shocked if nobody has been injured or killed.

Transmission failure. Car will not move/accelerate/change gears. This u expected defect can take a driver by surprise and cause them to lose control or hit by other moving vehicles. Inspection will have to be done at the car site.

I bought a used 2014 Nissan Altima on/around April 13th 2022. Two weeks later my transmission gave out with barley any warning. I was driving to pick up my daughter after work when I noticed some delayed shifting. Assuming it was the car needing transmission fluid, I drove home and had planned to take the car to get it serviced at the dealership where I bought it the next day. When I left my house with my daughter the next day I got maybe 10 miles from my house when the transmission completely failed and the engine light came on. I was stalled in the middle of the road, with no working gears. The dealership I bought the vehicle from towed the car and put me in a loaner for two weeks. No clue on the price of repairs or if I’ll even be able to afford it.

I bought my used branded 2014 Nissan Altima 1-2 years ago and did not have any issues with it until recently. Earlier this summer I received 2 notifications for my vehicle 1.) Recall notice to Reprogram Transmission Control Module and the 2nd doc. I received was a doc. which stated Nissan had extended their CVT Transmission warranty for their 2013-2016 Nissan Altimas. Some weeks ago later I started to have issues with my vehicle as it was not driving properly. I then started contacting both my local Nissan and Corporate. Nissan confirmed my vehicle VIN was one of the vehicles with transmissions issues and that I needed a transmission replacement for a cost of $4,324.11. I then opened a case and Corporate as there have multiple complaints/class actions for the same reason and they came back and stated they could not assist because I was out of the warranty year/milage. Nissan delivered a faulty transmission which they were very aware of at some point after delivery and although my transmission held off before it completely needed to be replaced I am looking for Nissan to assist financially for a new transmission which they quoted me $4,324.11 as they manufactured and delivered a faulty transmission which is a common issue with these vehicles. There have been class-action suits regarding the Continuously Variable Transmissions (“CVTs”) in model year 2013–2016 Nissan Altima vehicles.

My 2014 Nissan Altima’s transmission has to be replaced. The Nissan dealership gave me a quote of $4,093.00 to replace it. The car starts to run fine, then when at a stop and go, the car doesn’t go when I step on the gas or is delayed in going and the RPM’s are high and it feels forced. I was on the freeway and the car lost speed which was very scary because I could’ve have caused an accident. My safety and that of others was put at risk. I’ve had to stop using the vehicle until I can repair this costly issue. There were not any lights or warning messages in the car when this happened. Now that I’ve done research I know that there are many complaints and lawsuits related to the transmission issues Nissan has had for many years and they’ve done nothing about it. They should take responsibility and issue a recall on these vehicles to correct the issue.

2014 NISSAN ALTIMA TRANSMISSION DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSTATE WIRH NO WARNING.IT WAS RUNNING FINE WHEN I LEFT FROM HOME

I WAS TRAVELING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY ON JANUARY 25, 2021, WHEN I HAD NO ACCELERATION. DESPITE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, I HAD NO POWER. THE RPM NEEDLE WAS ALMOST TO THE RED ZONE. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THIS HIGHWAY, ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND RESTARTED IT. I STILL HAD NO FOWARD GEAR. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER (SANSONE, NEPTUNE, NJ). AFTER AN EXHAUSTIVE BATTLE BETWEEN THE DEALER AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, IT WAS DETERMINED MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BASED ON THE COMPUTER CODES. THE COST IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY - THE EXTENSION COVERED UP TO 84K MILES, MY ALTIMA HAS 101K. I WAS TREATED POORLY BY THE DEALERSHIP, AND NISSAN CORPORATE. I NEVER GOT NOTIFICATION ABOUT ANY RECALLS, APPARENTLY NOTICES WERE SENT TO A FORMER EMPLOYMENT ADDRESS - I RETIRED FROM THAT PLACE 3 YEARS PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE ALTIMA IN 2015. MY RECORDS SAY ITS A 2015, YOURS INDICATE IT'S A 2014. THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY, ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH. THANKFULLY, AS A POLICE OFFICER, I HAD THE NECESSARY SKILLS TO GET OFF THE ROADWAY, DESPITE ALMOST BEING IN A SERIOUS COLLISION. THIS IS AN EGREGIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND NISSAN'S LACK OF CONCERN IS ABHORRENT. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $4400 PRICE TAG TO REPLACE THIS TRANSMISSION, WHICH WAS POORLY MANUFACTURED. THE DEALERSHIP "FIXED" THE "COMPUTER UPDATE" TO THE TRANSMISSION, AS WELL AS "LUBING" AND NOT REPLACING THE THE FAULTY HOOD LATCH. NOTABLY, THEY ALLEGEDLY DROVE THE CAR THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, BEFORE DECLARING THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FACT THAT THIS TRANSMISSION JUST QUITS, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, IS A DEATH TRAP.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BUCKEYE NISSAN (3820 PARKWAY LN, HILLIARD, OH 43026, (614) 771-2345) WHERE THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY PERFORMED UPDATES TO THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND ASSURED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WOULD NOT RECUR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,300.

Mileage: 84,300

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN PULLING FROM A STOP SIGN OR STOPLIGHT. THE VEHICLE RESTARTS WITHOUT ISSUE THEN WILL STALL AGAIN WHEN ENGAGING INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED ALSO WITH THE CAR TURNING COMPLETELY OFF. AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR RESTARTED WITHOUT ISSUE AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE OFF THE ROAD. AT A STOPLIGHT, IT STALLED AGAIN IN THE INTERSECTION. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE SIMILAR TO MY COMPLAINT. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I DON'T THINK I WILL DRIVE IT AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. ONE MORNING AFTER HAVING DROVE ABOUT 15 MILES ON THE CITY STREET, TURNING MY CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, MY CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF WHEN PUT IN DRIVE. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. MY MECHANIC CALLED NISSAN AND GAVE THEM THE FAILURE CODE. HE WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. IT WAS LOCKED AND SO THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THIS AND OTHER COMPLAINTS. NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL ON THE CVT REPROGRAMMING, BUT I THINK THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS THEY INSTALLED THESE CARS THAN THAT. REPROGRAMMING THE CVT IS SIMPLE FOR THEM, IT'S JUST A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. NOW I'M FINDING OUT THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAILING (LOCKING UP) ON THOUSANDS OF CARS. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE'S RPMS SURGED WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NALLEY NISSAN OF ATLANTA (2551 THE NALLEY WAY, ATLANTA, GA 30360, (678) 825-6749) WHERE THE FAILURES WERE LINKED TO SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: NTV15-102 AND RELATED TO THE CVT; HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAD YET TO DETERMINE IF THE DEFECTS WERE RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION OR THE ENGINE VALVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. * BF*JB

MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART MY VEHICLE AND MOVE IT . IT WOULD START BUT WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT FROM PARK IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED WHEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP NOTHING APPEARED WHEN SCANNED AND DAYS LATER THE CAR BEGAN TO MOVE AGAIN

THE CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPEN ON MORE THAT 4 TIMES BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE IS WAS DIAGNOSED TO FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 81K MILES ON IT. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA STARTED LOSING POWER AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS BACK IN MAY 2019 WITH NO INDICATION WHY AS THERE WAS NO 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' AND IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND WHATEVER THEY TOLD ME TO REPAIR I DID. IT CONTINUED SPORADICALLY STALLING (LOSING POWER DOWN TO UNDER 30MPH)IN JUNE, JULY,AUGUST & NOW SEPTEMBER-DURING THIS TIME WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, CHANGE THE FILTERS, FINALLY TUNING UP THE CAR LAST WEEK WEDNESDAY! DIDN'T DRIVE IT THURSDAY-MONDAY NOW THIS MORNING TUESDAY IT STALLED AND START LOSING POWER AGAIN! STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NOW AFTER TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING I WAS JUST CALLED BY CONICELLI SERVICE REP TELLING ME THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE!!! AT 125000 - 5YRS OLD ! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THIS IS OUR 8TH NISSAN AND ALL THE PREVIOUS ONES LAST UP TO 27700 MILES AND NEVER REPLACED A TRANSMISSION!! THIS IS DEFINITELY A LEMON AND NISSAN USA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING! REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OR BUY IT BACK!!

AFTER DRIVING FOR A LITTLE WHILE THERE WOULD BE NO WARNING NO LIGHTS COME ON AND I WOULD COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGHT, OR TRAFFIC AND THEN WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ABOUT 5-10SECONDS THEN WOULD EVENTUALLY TAKE OFF AT A HIGH RATE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE IS NO STOPPING IT IF A CAR IS COMING FROM ANOTHER DIRECTION IT COULD EASILY END UP IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT AND THERE IS NO STOPPING IT

WHILE ON A 70MPH HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE STARTED SPUTTERING AND WOULD NOT RETAIN SPEED. I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, AND IT WAS LOSING SPEED AT AN ALARMING RATE. I WAS NOW GOING 35 ON A 70MPH ROAD. I PULLED TO THE BERM, WITH MY HAZARDS ON, AND TRIED TO REGAIN NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FOUND A SAFE SPOT TO PARK, HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED (USAA INSURANCE) TO A MECHANIC. MECHANIC COULD NOT REGISTER CODE, HE TOWED IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC. CVT TRANSMISSION WENT. KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ALTIMA'S. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOME STATE ($500, NO RECEIPT, AS IT IS NOT HERE YET). NEED TO TAKE IT TO AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER AND PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET(37-3900, NO RECEIPT, CAN NOT AFFORD IT). HAD TO RENT A CAR TO GET HOME ($300, MY SISTER RENTED IT). I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR, READY FOR VACATION, AND THEY WERE SCARED WE WERE GOING TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SO FAR, I AM OUT OF POCKET 571.62, NOT TO MENTION THE ALMOST 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS I AM FACING.

TRANSMISSION WILL GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DYING AND REVIVING UP. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALLS. PER NISSAN NOW, THE TRANSMISSION IS DEAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

ACCELERATION ISSUES. SPORADICALLY THE CAR WILL DO NOTHING WHEN WE STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND WE ESSENTIALLY HAVE ZERO POWER TO MOVE. AFTER HOLDING THE ACCELERATOR DOWN FOR A NUMBER OF SECONDS THE CAR WILL THEN ABNORMALLY START TO ACCELERATE AND REV UP ON RPMS BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AS NORMAL. IT'S AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS THOROUGHLY CONFUSED. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND IT COULD NEVER GET OVER 60 MPH REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE BEHAVIOR. THE ISSUE CONTINUES AT RANDOM TIMES AND WE FEEL INCREDIBLY UNSAFE WHEN WE ARE IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE CAR WILL IDLE FORWARD BUT DO NOTHING EVEN WHEN ACCERATOR IS DEPRESSED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WITH VIDEO OF THE VEHICLES CRAZY BEHAVIOR; THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY TELL ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE UNTIL IT GETS WORSE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE WE ARE AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT THE CAR DOES NOTHING BUT IDLE FORWARD; IT CATCHES US OFF GUARD AND WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IDLING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WHEN MAKING TURNS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN WHO SAID THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN WATCHING THE VIDEO AND THAT THE COMPUTER INDICATES NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. WE ARE INCREDIBLY WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR AND FEEL NISSAN IS COVERING UP AN ISSUE. IT WAS ADMITTED TO ME BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THEIR CVTS; IT IS EVIDENT IN CONSUMER INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AS WELL. I GET THE IMPRESSION NISSAN HAS NO INTEREST IN THE SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY; STARTING WITH THE FACT THAT NEITHER THE DEALER NOR CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS INTEREST IN WATCHING THE VIDEOS SHOWING THE VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. I CAN PROVIDE VIDEO TO NHTSA UPON REQUEST. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD A RUMBLING NOISE AND THERE WAS A STRONG VIBRATION COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SURGED AND THE GEARS FAILED TO PROPERLY CHANGE OVER, WHEN NEEDED. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR KEPT ILLUMINATING. TEMECULA NISSAN (41895 MOTOR CAR PKWY, TEMECULA, CA 92591, 951-972-8400) WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES AND KEPT INDICATING THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR CAUSED THE SYSTEM TO ASSUME TO BRAKE AND ALSO CAUSED A POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER LATER SENT A TECHNICIAN TO PROVIDE FURTHER TESTING. PEDDER NISSAN (200 CARRIAGE CIR, HEMET, CA 92545, (951) 225-4831) WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND INDICATED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN A SETTLEMENT WITH NO REMEDY FOR A PERMANENT REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE RPM DIAL STARTED TO MOVE UP AND DOWN AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLIP GEARS. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO GO INTO TOP GEAR, STRUGGLED TO GO UP HILLS, BEGAN SHIFTING GEARS ERRATICALLY, AND COULD NOT ACELERATE PAST 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR FELT VERY HURKY JERKY AND THE RIDE WAS THE OPPPOSITE OF SMOOTH. THIS PERSISTED FOR OVER SEVERAL MILES. I GOT THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. ACCORDING TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT I AM INVOLVED IN THAT NISSAN LOST, ON JUNE 9, 2019, NISSAN WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR. THE CASE IS CHRISTOPHER GANN ET AL. V. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, CASE NUMBER 3:18-CV-00966, IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE. MY CAR IS AT THE ROCKLAND NISSAN DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW AT 845 -358-6700 AND THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH ACCORDING TO THE LEGAL DEAL THEY MADE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO EXTEND OUR WARRANTY 24 MONTHS OR 24,000 MILES AND PAY FOR ANY SERVICING OF OUR TRANSMISSION.

DON'T HAVE TO REALLY SAY MUCH BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT THAT TRANSMISSION IS A PIECE OF JUNK!! IT WAS SLIPPING REPEATEDLY FROM AROUND 50,000-104,000 WHEN I GOT RID OF IT. IT WOULD ALSO STALL OUT (YES ON A CVT) FROM TIME TO TIME IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT GOT TO A POINT THAT I WAS SCARED I WAS GOING TO BE STUCK WITH A CAR WITH NO RESALE VALVE (BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION) AND OWE A $14,000 PAYOFF BALANCE WITH THE BANK. SO I TRADED IT IN AND GOT A F-150.I BELIEVE ALL JATCO TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD GO UNDER AN INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR AMERICAN ROADS.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR STARTED GRINDING AS IF THE ENGINE WANTED TO SHUT DOWN OR THE TRANSMISSION I WAS GETTING READY TO GET ON THE FREEWAY AND I COULD BARELY MOVE IT WAS IN GEAR IT WOULDN'T DO IT IN LOW GEAR EITHER I WILL COME TO A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT HOME WHICH WAS 5 MILES AWAY, AND IT WOULD JUST BARELY INCH OUT SOMETIMES IT WON'T EVEN START FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS TO A MINUTE TO GO INTO DRIVE AND THE RPMS AT 25 MILES AN HOUR WOULD HIT UP TO FIVE RPM'S THE WHOLE TIME DRIVING,I TAKE REALLY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR IN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT OK AND THEN I STARTED LOOKING UP THAT THIS IS COMMON IN MY CAR SO WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE ANY RECALLS? IT ALL STARTS AT 70,000 MILES BUT THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR THAT BECAUSE YOU ONLY HAVE YOUR WARRANTY IS UP TO 60,000 MILES WHICH IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS GOING TO GO OUT AFTER 60,000 MILES, ANYWAY I BARELY GOT MY CAR BACK TO MY HOME AND I HAVE A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND IT'S GOING TO COST ME ALMOST $4500 TO GET MY TRANSMISSION FIXED, AND I STILL OWE 16,000 ON IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR NISSAN ULTIMA'S BUT LOOKING UP ONLINE MINE IS NOT THE FIRST ONE THAT THIS IS HAPPENED TO SO THEREFORE SINCE I CAN'T DRIVE A CAR BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY ALL THAT MONEY, AND THEN I ALSO AM OUT OF WORK BECAUSE I NEED A CAR TO DRIVE BACK-AND-FORTH, I AM GOING TO FIND AN ATTORNEY THAT WILL DO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST YOU GUYS FOR THE VEHICLES DOING THIS! WHAT IS HAPPENING IS NOT OK, AND SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN BUT WITH EVERYTHING I LOOKED UP ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF NISSAN ALTIMA'S 2014'S AROUND 70,000 MILES THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!

MY CAR STARTED "SPUTTERING" AND SHUTTING OFF WHEN IN MOTION OR COMING TO A STOP. THE CAR THEN STARTED TO REV THE ENGINE BETWEEN 2-3RPM WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, THE CAR REVVED PAST 4RPM AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR, BUT NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO ENDURE THAT DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC EVENT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT IS APPARENT THAT NISSAN HAD KNOWINGLY SOLD CARS WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS THAT WOULD FAIL FAR BEFORE AN ACCEPTABLE TIME WITH MANY CONSUMERS FACING THE HIGH COST OF REPAIRING THE TRANSMISSION. AS I WAS HOPING THIS WAS A ONE-OFF SITUATION AND THAT NO ONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A FREQUENT COMPLAINT FOR THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2014. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND EXTEND THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS AS THEY HAVE FOR THEIR CAR MODELS FROM 2003-2010.

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT REVS UP WHILE I;M DRIVING AND THEN STOPS. I TURN IT OFF AND START IT AGAIN. IT DOES THIS CONSTANTLY. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I'M DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEAR A REVVING UP SOUND, THE CAR STARTS TO HESITATE,, IT SLOWS DOWN AND THEN COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT DOESN;T GIVE ME A CHANCE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS. IT STOPS WITHOUT WARNING. ONCE I HEAR THE REVVING UP SOUND, WITHIN A FEW SECONDS SHE HESITATES, SLOWS DOWN AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN MAKING TURNS ALSO. CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE IF YOU STOP AT A LIGHT LIKE SHE SUPPOSE TO. LET ME EXPLAIN. WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT AND THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE, SHE HESITATES, GO SLOWLY, THEN KICKS IN AND ALLOWS YOU TO PROCEED. I'M VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE HEARD OTHERS AND ON THE NEWS SAY PEOPLES EXPERIENCE WITH THEIR NISSAN ALTIMA SHUTTING DOWN JUST LIKE MINE. FOR ME ITS SHUTTING DOWN EVERYWHERE. IT'S HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, STREET, ALWAYS WHEN IN MOTION, DURING TURNS, AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT AND ITS TIME TO PROCEED. I'VE ALMOST GOTTEN HIT BY OTHER CARS MANY TIMES WHEN SHE SUDDENLY STALLS. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T HAVE VIDEO OF INCIDENT BECAUSE IT HASN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT I'M SURE AN ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY DAY. I'M NERVOUS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. IT'S THE MERCIES OF GOD THAT I HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE NOTE I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE BADLY INJURED OR KILLED ME WHEN I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ON HWY 78. THE CAR STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE SUV ALMOST HIT ME AS I WAS MAKING MY LEFT TURN AND THE CAR STALLED AND THE SUV STOPPED JUST AS IT WAS ABOUT TO HIT ME. I WAS SHAKEN UP SO BADLY, I HAD TO PARK MY CAR AND CALM MY NERVES. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. IT'S A DANGEROUS CAR.

CVT DTC CODE P17F0 BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE CVT FLUID CHANGED AT THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE. THE DEALER SHOWED ME THE DTC CODE INDICATING THAT THERE IS A CVT PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE 2014 ALTIMA WITH AN L33 ENGINE CAME OUT, NISSAN WAS CHANGING THE CVT BECAUSE THE CODE INDICATES AN IMMINENT FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT SINCE THEN BECAUSE IT COST NISSAN TOO MUCH, NISSAN HAS STARTED TO REBUILD THE CVT AND THE DEALERS HAVE A TRAINED MECHANIC TO REBUILD THE CVT AND CORRECT THE CVT JUDDER CODE. THE DEALER STATED THEY WOULD CONTACT NISSAN AND ADVISE WHAT HOW NISSAN WILL CORRECT THE DEFICIENCY. NOW OVER 2 WEEKS, THE DEALER HAS NOT RETURNED MY PHONE CALLS TO ADVISE HOW NISSAN WILL HANDLE. MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR WITH MY YOUNG DAUGHTER AND I TRAVEL FOR WORK. I AM NOW CONCERNED THE CVT WILL BE PROBLEMS WHEN I AM AWAY AND COULD INADVERTENTLY CAUSE A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WHEN SHE IS DRIVING IF THE CVT FAILS. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY CAMPAIGN THAT THE NHTSA TAKES ON AND PURSUES. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS AND EVENTUALLY WHEN THERE IS A FAILURE ON THE HIGHWAY SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED OR IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED AND THE CAUSAL FACTORS HAVE NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED ATTRIBUTED TO THE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN IS NOT CONCERNED OR PERFORMING A RECALL JUST AS THE WAY NISSAN IS HANDLING THE TAKATA AIR BAG PROBLEMS IN THEIR CARS. FURTHER, IT IS EXTREMELY INTERESTING THAT WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR PAS SERVICE, THE OTHER NISSAN DEALERS DID NOT DO THE QUICK SIMPLE CHECK OF THE CODES TO ENSURE THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. WOULDN'T IT BENEFIT THEM AS IT COULD PRODUCE BUSINESS?? HOW STUPID AND POOR SERVICE WE RECEIVE FROM THE DEALERS.

REPLACED TRANSMISSION AT 84000 MILES AT A COST OF $4100 BECAUSE OF SHUDDERING AND STALLING. AT 100600 MILES AND 11 MONTHS LATER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED THE EXACT SAME WAY AGAIN. NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF ANOTHER REPLACEMENT. IT COST ME ANOTHER $1050 WITH THE HELP OF THE DEALER AND NISSAN WHO KNOW THEY HAVE A TOTALLY FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE. IT STALLED AND SHUTTERDAT A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION AND WAS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I AM LUCKY I WASN'T SMASHED INTO ON THE HIGHWAY.

THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING TO ALERT ME OF AN ISSUE. NOW THE CAR WILL HESITATE SEVERLY BEFORE SHIFTING GEARS. IF I TAKE THE CARE OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, IT TAKES UPWARDS OF 30 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO ENGAGE INTO THAT GEAR. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED AT HOME AND AT GROCERY STORES DUE TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION WHICH I'M NOW BEING TOLD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE HAD TO ENDURE RANDOM MOMENTS OF SHAKING AND EVEN FEELING AS IF THE CAR HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY.

THE DEALER (CROWN NISSAN OF DECATUR, 165 W PERSHING RD, DECATUR, IL 62526, (217) 615-1047) DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER OPENED A CASE AND AGREED TO REIMBURSE THE CONTACT FOR 90% OF THE REPAIR COST. THE REPAIR WOULD CONSIST OF INSTALLING A RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION COVERED BY A 12 MONTH OR 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THE RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION HAD A HISTORY OF FAILING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. *BF UPDATE 2/20/19*JB

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS STUTTERING BETWEEN GEARS, HAS HESITATION, VIBRATIONS, AND DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER ON 11/15/2017 WITH 76K MILES AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I HAD THEM CHANGE THE FLUID AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORSE. THE PROBLEM GOT A LITTLE BETTER, BUT NEVER WENT AWAY. IT NEVER GENERATED A CODE FOR A SPECIFIC PROBLEM, BUT THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THINKING IT IS IN OVERDRIVE AND NOT REACTING PROPERLY. IT IS NOW A YEAR LATER AND ANOTHER 30K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL STUTTERING WITH VIBRATIONS AT EVERY SPEED AND EVEN ON CRUISE CONTROL.

Mileage: 76,000

TRANSMISSION IS DONE. SHUDDERING UNDER POWER AND RPMS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.

Mileage: 117,000

MY CAR WAS LOOSING POWER AND DYING WHEN PUT INTO GEAR OR SHORTLY AFTER TRYING TO GO. THOUGHT IT MAY BE A ALTERNATOR PROBLEM AS I WAS LOOSING POWER. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. FOUND OUT THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS REPROGRAMMED ONE YEAR AGO AND NOW IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN I PLACED THE CAR IN GEAR AND STARTED MOVING AND IT DIED ON ME CROSSING A MAJOR HIGHWAY. NO WARNING SIGNS BEFOREHAND THAT ANYTHING WAS GOING ON WITH THE CAR.

Mileage: 73,000

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SPUTTERING AND JERKING SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT DISMISSING ME SAYING THERE ARE NO WARNINGS DASH LIGHTS ON . THE CAR DIED IN A STORE PARKING LOT AND I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP. THE CODES INDICATED A TECH SERVICE BULLETIN THAT STATES "NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION". NOW MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IS DENYING THIS IS THE CORRECT CODE AND IT ONLY NEEDS SOME MINOR ADJUSTING. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR OVER A YEAR AND NOW MY POWER TRAIN WARRANT EXPIRES IN LESS THAN 100 MILES. INITIALLY THEY AGREED WITH ME AND TOLD ME IT NEEDS THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, BUT NOW THEY HAVE DENIED IT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. IT SPUTTERS,JERKS, HESITATES AND LOSES ACCELERATION AND IT IS SCARY TO HAVE TO DRIVE IT. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE.

Mileage: 59,833

THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT DID NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY. AFTER TRYING SEVERAL TIMES THE CAR STARTED. ALSO, IT WOULD SLOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING UP HILL UNTIL THE CAR STOPPED. AFTER WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES AND FLOORING THE GAS PETAL THE CAR CONTINUED FORWARD. MY SAFETY CONCERN IS THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC TODAY, HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

IN DECEMBER 2016 WITH APPROXIMATELY 40K MILES ON ODOMETER, THE CAR STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION. AFTER STARTING AGAIN, IT STALLED EACH TIME WHILE PUTTING IT IN GEAR. AFTER A TOW TO NISSAN DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME OF A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THEY MENTIONED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION, BUT DECIDED TO CHANGE AN INTERNAL COMPONENT (I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT PART) TO THE TRANSMISSION INSTEAD OF THE WHOLE THING, WHICH AT THE TIME I WAS O.K. WITH BECAUSE I WASN'T PLEASED A 2 1\2 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 40K MILES WHICH I BOUGHT BRAND NEW SHOULD NEED A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT (ESPECIALLY WASN'T PLEASED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH A REBUILT ONE). IT RAN OK AFTERWARDS, BUT SOMETHING WASN'T THE SAME AS WHEN IT WAS NEW. SEVERAL TIMES I REPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE REVS JUST BEFORE THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. RPM'S WOULD SPIKE AND THEN DIP DOWN LOW LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO STALL BEFORE LEVELING OUT AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER COUPLE TIMES AFTERWARDS AND THEY EXPLAINED IT WAS NORMAL AND SIMILAR MODELS THEY TESTED DID THE SAME THING. FAST FORWARD TO AUGUST 2018, THE CAR NOW HAS 65K MILES AND THE PROBLEM WITH STALLING WHILE DRIVING IT HAS RE-OCCURRED. ANOTHER TOW TO DEALER AND NOW THEY SUGGEST A $4000+ TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT (WITH A REBUILT ONE). NOT A HAPPY NISSAN OWNER! HAVE READ MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE (2014 NISSAN ALTIMA) WITH SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND DECLARE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS THEY CAN STALL OUT AT ANY TIME ENDANGERING LIVES! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

I LAST MONTH FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NTHSA ABOUT MY 2014 ALTIMA'S BAD TRANSMISSION. I HAD CONTACTED NISSAN USA MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY FIRST ACKNOWLEDGED LIABILITY (EVEN THOUGH IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY) AND OFFERED TO PAY THE PART (NEW TRANSMISSION). BUT ON AUG 15, 2018, THEY CLAIMED THAT SINCE THE LOCAL DEALER "CANNOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN", MY CAR IS "OKAY TO DRIVE", DENYING ANY RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY FUTURE ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP NISSAN MAGUIRE DOES NOT AGREE WITH NISSAN USA. THE CAR IS NOT IN GOOD OPERABLE CONDITION. WHEN I SHIFT THE GEAR TO DRIVE, THE STEPPING ON THE GAS DOES NOT DELIVER POWER TO THE ENGINE FOR 2-3 SECONDS. SO, WHEN I STOP ON THE HILL AND PUT IT TO DRIVE, THE CAR ROLLS DOWN FOR SECONDS UNTIL IT MOVES FORWARD. BUT NISSAN USA RENOUNCED ITS LIABILITY AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE A NEW TRANSMISSION. I ASKED WHAT IF I GET INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND ALL THEY SAID IS CONTACT THEM WHEN IT HAPPENS. I THINK THEY ARE ACCOMPLICT IN MURDERING ME AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

LAST YEAR CVT WAS SLIPPING, DELAYED ACCELERATION WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT THEN TRYING TO DRIVE, THEY UPDATED SOFTWARE. SAME THING HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE THE OTHER DAY. NO PRIOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THE CAR HAD DELAYED ACCELERATION TWICE WHEN I STOPPED AT LIGHTS, THEN MINUTES LATER I TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, CAUSING MY CAR TO REV UP TO 4RPM BUT BARELY GO 20 MPH. BEING TOLD BY NISSAN THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ONLY HAS 82000 MILES. NO PRIOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

Mileage: 82,102

I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED A BUSY INTERSECTION WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. WITH NO WARNING THE CAR JERKED FORWARD. THE FORCE OF THE JERKING MOTION WAS SO GREAT THAT I INITIALLY THOUGHT I WAS REAR ENDED. THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF, I HAD CARS IN FRONT AND BACK OF ME AND HAD NO WHERE TO GO. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK TO TRY AND GIVE IT SOME GAS TO KEEP IT FROM SHUTTING OFF AND IT IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND IT IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN AS SOON AS I TRIED TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE CAR KEPT SHUTTING DOWN. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME AND KEEP THE CAR RUNNING. I MADE IT TO WORK THANKFULLY I WAS ONLY TWO BLOCKS AWAY AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK HOME. I WAS SHAKING AND SCARED TO DEATH. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! I LATER FOUND OUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WILL COST APROX $4000! THIS CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH AND READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION.. I AM SHOCKED THAT NISSAN IS STILL ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITH THIS "DEATH TRAP" OF A CAR! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT IN THIS CAR!!

IN AUGUST OF 2017 MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA'S TORQUE CONVERTER FRAGMENTED PIECES OF ITSELF INTO MY TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS RESULTED IN MY CAR TUGGING AND SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING UNDER SPEEDS OF 30 MPH INCLUDING SLOWING DOWN AND ACCELERATING. AT A POINT MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AND I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE SELMA NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AFTER A WEEK OF NO FINDING OF THE ISSUE IT WAS BROUGHT TO FRESNO LITHIA WITH THE SAME RESULT OF NO FINDING OF THE ISSUE. A YEAR LATER THE VEHICLE PRODUCED THE SAME PROBLEMS AND AGAIN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE FRESNO LITHIA DEALERSHIP FOR A FULL INSPECTION AGAIN. UPON FURTHER IDENTIFICATION THEY NOTED THAT THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2013 & 2014 NISSAN ALTIMAS AS THE TORQUE CONVERTER WILL BECOME STUCK AND WHILE SHIFTING AND FORCE THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND SHUT OFF. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND YET I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR MY VEHICLE. I'VE CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AT (615) 725-7154 AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY DO NOT CONDUCT RECALLS. I SEE THAT IF THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS SO COMMON WHY IS IT NOT ON A RECALL AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS FIX ON MY 4 YEAR OLD CAR. I'M A MARINE VETERAN WITH A 2 MONTH OLD BABY AND $3500 FOR A TRANSMISSION IS NOT CHEAP FOR ME IN MY POSITION. I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM 3 DEALERSHIPS NOTING I BROUGH IN MY VEHICLE WITH THE OCCURRING PROBLEM DATING BACK A YEAR AGO. I ALSO HAVE PRINTED DOCUMENTATION OF MY NEW TRANSMISSION FOR MY VEHICLE AND POSITIVE TEST RESULT OF MY VEHICLE PERFORMING 4 OUT OF 10 TIMES OF VEHICLE SHUDDERING AND TURNING OFF. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY NISSAN AS THEY MIGHT FEAR A RECALL OF THEIR VEHICLES.

LAST WEEK (JULY 19, 2018) MY FAMILY WAS ON A TRIP BACK FROM NYC TO ITHACA. WHEN WE ARRIVED IN THE ITHACA AREA AND STOPPED THE CAR AT A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE ENGINE BUTTON AGAIN TO RESTART THE CAR. SO, I THOUGHT IT WAS NOT A BIG DEAL. TWO DAYS LATER, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AT A RED LIGHT ON THE ROAD AND IT DID NOT MOVE. CARS BEHIND ME KEPT HONKING AND MY DAUGHTER CRIED IN HORROR. THE ENGINE WAS IGNITED WHEN I PUSH THE ENGINE BUTTON AND THE SHIFT IS IN PARK. BUT AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN. THEN I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK, PUSHED THE ENGINE BUTTON, IT WAS TURNED ON. WHEN I PUT IT BACK TO DRIVE, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS FOR A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE ENGINE ALIVE IN DRIVE AND DROVE THE CAR, AND PARKED THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE DEALERSHIP. I BARELY MANAGED TO DO THAT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I REALIZED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED SEVERAL TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL IN SHIFT MODE. THE FAILURES OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALFANO NISSAN (522 WINSTED RD, TORRINGTON, CT 06790) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDING TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 260,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN SLOWLY TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER (UNIVERSAL NISSAN, 12785 S ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FLORIDA 32837) WAS CALLED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

SHORTLY AFTER THE FIRST YEAR THE CAR BEGAN HESITATING AND EVENTUALLY WENT ON TO COMPLETELY CUT OFF WHILE MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I DIDN'T HAVE THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM FOR ANOTHER YEAR AFTER THE NEW TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIPS WOULD ALWAYS SAY THEY COULD NOT SUPPLICATE MY CONCERN. THE PROBLEM PERSISTING. I'M AFRAID TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT STALLS, JERKS OR HESITATES. I WON'T ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS JUST TOO DANGEROUS. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE PAID TAKEN IT FOR DIAGNOSIS THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I'M TAKING IT YET AGAIN TOMORROW. I CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PATTERN. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE ONCE PAUSING AFTER A LONG DRIVE > 50 MILES. WHILE TRAVELING THIS WEEKEND, I PAUSED AT THE HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE BEYOND 15 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THIS TIME. I PULLED OVER AND CUT THE CAR OFF. IT DID FINALLY GO BUT THE RMPS STILL IDLED HIGHLY. THERE ARE SOME DAYS THE PROBLEM ISN'T PREVALENT AND THE DRIVE SEEMS SMOOTH. THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO DANGEROUS. I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THERE'S NO TRAFFIC BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TURN OR PULL INTO TRAFFIC.

NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO HONOR THE FREE SERVICE CAMPAIGNS AND JUST WANTS ME TO PAY $4000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS NEW OF A CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE ISSUES.

THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT AROUND 25,000 MILES WHICH THEY TOLD US TWICE BEFORE FINALLY REPLACING THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE CAR WOULD ROLL WHILE IN PARK AND STALL AFTER TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW. AROUND 68,000 MILES THE CAR NOW HAS A SLIGHT HESITATION AND WILL STALL. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND A CODE OF P0776 WAS THROWN. SERVICE IN FINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND STILL ISN'T ON. TALKED TO A FEW SHOPS AND THEY ALL TOLD ME THIS IS THE THIRD MOST LOOKED UP CODE FOR NISSAN. NISSAN WARRANTY IS ONLY 1 YEAR AND 12,000 MILES ON THEIR TRANSMISSION. THAT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME EITHER WITH SUCH A SHORT MONTH AND MILEAGE AS WELL. NOW WE ARE HAVING TO POSSIBLY BUY ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FOR A CAR WITH ONLY 68,000 MILES WITH A PRETTY MUCH NEW TRANSMISSION. HOW DOES A TRANSMISSION GO OUT WITH ONLY 43,000 MILES ON IT. WITH THE ISSUES NOW THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN. TO SUM IT UP THE GAS PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR TO GET TO 70 MILES AN HOUR WHILE ON THE GA400.

I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SEEM TO NOT CHANGE GEARS. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT WHICH MADE THE VEHICLE TO WHAT I CALL "RESET". THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL MONTHS LATER. NOW MY VEHICLE FROM TIME TO TIME, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SEEM AS IF IT WILL NOT GO WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP IN TRAFFIC. I THOUGHT IT NEED TRANSMISSION FLUID. I DISCOVERED THAT IT REQUIES CTV TRANSMISSION FLUID AND CAN ONLY BE DONE AT A DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS NOT TRUE. MY LOCAL CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION REPAIR CENTER SAID THEY COULD PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC FOR $99, WHICH WE DID. WE ARE NOW BEING TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM ON MOST OF THE NISSAN ALTIMA'S. REPLACEMENT WOULD COST ABOUT $4,800. WHY HASN'T NISSAN RECALLED THESE VEHICLES AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINTS?

Mileage: 127,000

MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS 68,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 60 MPH, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING THE GAS. THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $4,000 TO REPLACE IT.

MY VEHICLE STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY IN A BUSY EVENING TRAFFIC. FOR 10 MINUTES I WAS NOT ABLE TO DO, BUT SIT IDLE. AFTER THAT CAR STARTED BUT IT WAS JUDDERING AND SHAKING EVERY TIME I USED TO STOP AT RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THE VIBRATIONS WERE VERY VIOLENT AND SCARY. EVEN, IN NEUTRAL, CAR ENGINE REVS UP TO 2K-3K RPM WITHOUT ACCELERATING. NISSAN COMPANY AND DEALER ARE NOT HELPING AND PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER AS I COULD HAVE GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR/ TRAILER.

RECALL TO REPROGRAM CVT DONE 10/4/17 AT NISSAN. 12/6/17 VEHICLE BEGAN RAPIDLY DROPPING SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITHOUT ME APPLYING BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS SINCE THERE WERE NO BRAKE LIGHTS TO ALERT OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO DECREASE SPEED. TURNED HAZARDS ON & MADE IT TO SLOW LANE, THEN SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. IT WOULDN'T GO BACK INTO DRIVE FOR 15 MINS. ONCE I COULD IT DRIVE AGAIN, IT CONTINUED TO HAVE DECREASED SPEED. AT TRAFFIC LIGHT IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE IN DRIVE & I HAD TO WAIT AWHILE BEFORE IT DID. DROVE TO MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS & THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE TAKEN TO NISSAN. HAD TO BE DRUG ONTO A FLATBED TO BE TOWED A VERY SHORT DISTANCE SINCE IT WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT INTO DRIVE, REVERSE OR NEUTRAL. SERVICE ADVISOR AT EAST CHARLOTTE NISSAN SAID IT NEEDED NEW TRANSMISSION & GAVE A $4,200 QUOTE. HE SAID THIS WAS KNOWN ISSUE WITH CVT TRANSMISSION, MANY WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES BUT THOSE WERE STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. HAD NEW NISSAN FACTORY REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION INSTALLED (THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE A CVT BECAUSE VEHICLE WON'T TAKE ANY OTHER TRANSMISSION) WHICH ALSO FAILED AFTER JUST ONE WEEK. THEY SHIPPED & INSTALLED ANOTHER ONE & IT HAS BEEN DOING OKAY FOR 2 WKS NOW. FORUMS SIGHT MANY DRIVERS WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS & DANGEROUS INCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING & SAY THE 'NEW' CVTS FAIL AGAIN WHICH HAPPENED TO ME. NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE TECHNOLOGY THAT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVER SAFETY. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COST OF THE RECALL AS OWNERS HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS, A HUGE REPAIR. IT COST ME $3,600 AND I WILL RETAIN MY COPIES. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TECHNOLOGY, NOT JUST IN THE ALTIMA. THEY DON'T HAVE AN ALERT ON NHTSA WEBSITE TO WARN CONSUMERS AGAINST BUYING THEIR UNSAFE VEHICLES. THIS REQUEST IS TO PREVENT FATALITIES NOT THAT AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN MY CASE.

A FEW MONTHS BACK I TOOK MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA, 4-CYLINDER TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL THAT WAS IN CONNECTION WITH RECALL WITH THE SOFTWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION OF SOME SORT. I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTICE BUT WAS ADVISED OF THIS RECALL WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO NISAAN TO GET SERVICES FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED. SINCE HAVING THE RECALL COMPLETE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. AT TIMES I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR SHUDDERS AND LOSES POWER. I HAVE COME CLOSE TWICE TO AN AUTO COLLISION AS I AM SHIFTING LANES MY CAR COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AND DROPS SPEED WITHOUT MY CONTROL WITH HE RPM DROPPING DRASTICALLY BUT REGAINING WITHIN SECONDS. THE CAR JERKS AND SHUDDERS. I HAVE HAD ANOTHER FAMILY TEST AS WELL AND HAS SAID THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND SOMETHING IS WRONG. I RESEARCHED AND SEE A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE TO THIS PARTICULAR YEAR AND MODEL. I AM TAKING TO THE DEALER TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETE AND HAVE EXPLAINED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS FINE PRIOR TO THE SOFTWARE ADJUSTMENT WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE ISSUES AND POSSIBLY I WILL GET STUCK WITH PAYING WHATEVER REPAIRS. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A TRANSMISSION DEFECT THAT THOUSANDS OF NISSAN OWNERS ARE HAVING THE ISSUES AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE TO REMEDY THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE INVESTIGATION TO BE DONE ON THIS AND IN THE EVENT THAT WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND THIS OCCURS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT I WILL HOLD THE MANUFACTURER AT FAULT FOR ALLOWING THIS VEHICLE TO GO UN-REPAIRED FOR A FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT AS BEING A "LEMON OF A CAR" AND "UNSAFE." THE DATE THIS ISSUE LAST OCCURRED WITH ME DRIVING MY VEHICLE WAS AROUND 8:30A.M. ON JANUARY 5, 2018.

IT'S 3 YEARS OLD! THIS CAR STALLED ON HIGHWAY 30. I WAS TOTALLY FREAKED OUT. WHEN I TRIED TO GO IT ROLLED BACKWARDS AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. CARS WERE FLYING BY ME HONKING AND PEOPLE YELLING AT ME. THIS CAR IS THREE YEARS OLD! APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY MORE LIKE IT OUT THERE AND NISSAN IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM! THEY WANT $4196 TO REPLACE IT OR A NEW CAR FOR MORE PAYMENT, SALES TAX AND INSURANCE. I'M RACKING UP RENTAL CAR COSTS AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $89 FOR DIAGNOSTICS WHEN I ALREADY HAD IT DONE AND TOLD THEM IT NEEDED A TRANSMISSION! THE NISSAN CONSUMER COMPLAINT LADY, THE SERVICE GUY, THE MECHANIC AND THE SALES GUY AT SUNTRUP NISSAN ALL AGREED THAT THIS TRANS MISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT AT 3 YEARS OLD. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON SOME ALTIMA'S BUT NOT ON MINE! SUNTRUP NISSAN HAS MY CAR NOW. IT WILL NOT GO AT ALL. I ASKED FOR EITHER THEY PAY FOR THE TRANS OR PUT ME IN A NEW CAR AT SAME PAYMENT EVEN WITH HIGHER INSURANCE AND SALES TAX. THEY WON'T DO EITHER AND I HAVE TO PAY THE $89 DIAGNOSTICS.

THE ANSWER FROM NISSAN WAS WE CANT HELP YOU WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION BUT WE CAN OFFER $1500 FOR A NEW NISSAN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THESES CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE CONSISTENTLY FAILING ON NISSANS. AS THE CONSUMER WE ARE GETTING FINANCIALLY KILLED BY THIS. ACTION IS REQUIRED AGAINST NISSAN THEY KNOW THERE IS A ISSUE YET THEY ARE STILL ALLOWED TO SELL AND NOT STAND BEHIND A MAJOR PART OF THEIR VEHICLES. PLEASE DO SOMETHING THIS IS DANGEROUS.

PRIOR TO TAKING MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA TO A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER FOR A SCHEDULED ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE, MY VEHICLE WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY. THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER I HAD MY ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE ON MY VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING IN FIRST GEAR AND IMMEDIATELY I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THE SAME DAY OF THE OCCURRENCE AND I EXPLAINED TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING. (THE DAY AFTER I HAD A SCHEDULED ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE). WHEN THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER DIAGNOSED MY VEHICLE I WAS TOLD MY CVT TRANSMISSION INDICATING A BAD INTERNAL SENSOR WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY $3,800 DOLLARS TO REPAIR MY CVT TRANSMISSION. I EXPLAINED TO THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER REP. MY VEHICLE WAS JUST AT THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER YESTERDAY FOR A ROUTINE OIL & FILTER CHANGE AND THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS OR WARNING SIGNS ON MY DASHBOARD THAT WOULD INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION TO MY VEHICLE HESITATING IN FIRST GEAR IT ALSO APPEARED NOT TO CHANGE GEARS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOLD THE NISSAN REP THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WANTED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE WAS TO MUCH MONEY AND THE NISSAN REP STATED MY VEHICLE IS PASS THE WARRANTY LIMIT BECAUSE I HAVE 78,000 MILE AND MY LIMIT IS 60,000 MILES TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SERVICE REP STATED THEY CAN HAVE A SALES REP CONTACT ME TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR IF I DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR. AFTER REFUSING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED AT THAT PRICE I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE FROM THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AND DROVE MY VEHICLE HOME AND IT RAN FINE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE CHANGED GEARS AND DROVE PERFECTLY. I JUST WANT TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AND TO RED FLAG THIS PROBLEM WITH MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. IF SOMEONE'S DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE PLEASE ADVISE.

NISSAN'S 2014 ALTIMA CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF THE CARS. I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN FEBRUARY OF 2014. 1) MY FIRST TRANSMISSION DIED NOV 2016 AFTER ONLY 50K MILES. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD, IT KEPT DYING AS SOON AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WAS STRANDED IN STREET UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME. 2) THE TRANSMISSION IT GOT REPLACED WITH DOES NOT DRIVE SMOOTHLY - IT JERKS, IT GOES TO HIGH RPM'S FOR NO REASON. WHEN I AM IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, IT SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF IT'S OWN: WHEN I AM BRAKING, I FEEL A PULL AS IF THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO STOP. OR SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL FEEL LIKE IT'S REVVING HARDER THAN I NEED IT TO (UP TO 4-5K RPMS WHEN GOING UNDER 25MPH). 3) THIS TRANSMISSION HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AT A RED LIGHT. I WILL TRY TO ACCELERATE, AND IT WON'T MOVE. IT FINALLY BEGINS TO GO AFTER 3-5 SECONDS OF STALLING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL IT DIES COMPLETELY, AS MY PREVIOUS TRANSMISSION DID FOR THIS CAR. 4) I WAS CRUISING ON A SIDE STREET ONCE, GOING AROUND 40-45MPH, AND SUDDENLY THE RPM'S SHOOT UP TO 4-5 FOR NO REASON (USUALLY CRUISE BETWEEN 1-2). I PUT MY FOOT COMPLETELY OFF THE GAS, AND IT WOULD NOT STOP. IT FINALLY DID AFTER ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR- ANYTIME I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I AM WONDERING IF MY CAR IS GOING TO DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN, AND IF I AM GOING TO GET T-BONED. I'VE COMPLAINED TO MY DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES (TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS), AND THEY ALWAYS SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. SEARCH ONLINE AND YOU WILL SEE THE MANY COMPLAINS ABOUT NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION. WITH ONLY 65K MILES ON A CAR I BOUGHT NEW, WE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING TO DEAL WITH SUCH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. AND NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THEIR TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY.

VEHICLE WAS AT DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE, SERVICE ADVISED THAT "RECALL" CAMPAIGN PC4900 REPROGRAM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS PERFORMED. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 6 DAYS AND 447 MILES, IT DIED WHILE SITTING COMPLETELY STILL, IDLING IN TRAFFIC (IN "DRIVE"). THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED SO VIOLENTLY WHEN IT DIED, I THOUGHT THAT I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART BUT DIED IMMEDIATELY UPON ANY ATTEMPT TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER, DIAGNOSIS WAS TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE. TOTAL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. NEVER HAD ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR UNTIL NOW.

IN AUGUST OF 2017 I WAS ABOUT TO PARK MY ALTIMA WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. EVENTUALLY, AFTER MANY ISSUES WITH A NISSAN SECURITY PLUS WARRANTY BAIT AND SWITCH ISSUE I GOT THE CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I HAVE NOTICED EVEN ON THIS NEW TRANSMISSION IT STILL SHUDDERS AROUND 25 MPH FREQUENTLY.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS LOST EXCELLERATION POWER. AFTER COMING TO A STOP, IT WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED WHILE HOLDING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT PICKED UP SPEED. MAKING A SOUND, LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT OF GEAR. EACH TIME IT HAS DONE THIS, I HAVE PULLED OVER TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. AFTER RESTARTING IT SEEMS TO DRIVE FINE, UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75 THE VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE.. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC,I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD,AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TRY AGAIN AND IT STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF THE EXIT HAD IT CHECK AND WAS TOLD THEY WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM.. TOLD NISSAN SAID AT 30,000 MILES WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVER TIME WITHOUT WARNING

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT IS NEARING THE END OF THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY; I TOOK MY CAR IN LAST WEEK FOR VEHICLE RECALLS AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I EXPLAINED HOW THE CAR WILL SHUDDER BETWEEN 10-25 MPH SPONTANEOUSLY AND THAT THERE WAS NO SUREFIRE WAY TO KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT OR WHEN IT WOULD HAPPEN; I EXPLAINED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A HANDFUL OF OCCASIONS WHERE I AM AT A STOP AND PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL TO DRIVE AND THE CAR BARELY MOVES WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS - ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY; AND LASTLY, I EXPLAINED HOW THE RPM'S WILL REV AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD STICK. THE FIRST DAY THAT NISSAN HAD MY CAR, THEY SAID IT ACTED UP, BUT THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO DO IT AGAIN AND NO CODES CAME BACK TO REVEAL THE PROBLEM. AFTER DAY 2, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO REGARDING THE ISSUES I COMPLAINED ABOUT. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR, THE SERVICE MANAGER JEFF THIBODEAUX SAID HE BELIEVES IT IS MY TRANSMISSION AND WANTED TO REPLACE IT,BUT HE COULDN'T BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE COMING BACK TO SHOW THE PROBLEM AND THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO ACT UP AGAIN. I EXPLAINED MY CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR, THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND HOW THE WARRANTY WAS ABOUT TO EXPIRE IN LESS THAN 500 MILES; HE SAID THEY HAVE IT DOCUMENTED IN THE SYSTEM AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES, THEY WOULD "GO TO BAT" FOR ME. I WENT A STEP FURTHER AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AT NISSAN (LAST FRIDAY). TODAY, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM AMANDA, THE CASE MANAGER FOR OUR REGION (CASE NUMBER 27815853). SHE WASN'T HELPFUL; INDICATED THAT UNLESS THE PART FAILS, THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN OR WILL DO. SHE TERMINATED THE CALL WHEN I TOLD HER I WAS RECORDING HER.

NISSAN SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND DIDNT BOTHER TO TELL ME THERE WAS A RECALL. WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT WAS WORSE THAN WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME.

VEHICLE IS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA 4 CYLINDER MOTOR. IT RECENTLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION RECALL, DISGUISED AS A "CAMPAIGN" PERFORMED. IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. SINCE THEN, THE CAR UPSHIFTS WHILE DECELERATING, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STUMBLE & ALMOST STALL. IT IS SIMILAR TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKING UP & AFFECTING THE DRIVETRAIN. IF THE ENGINE STALLED, DRIVER WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE & MIGHT CRASH THE CAR. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A ROAD WHERE SPEEDS ARE ABOUT 50 MPH, WHICH IS ABOUT THE SPEED WE WERE DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR IN MILD TURNS.

2014 NISSAN ALTIMA S, 74,000 MILES. I SHIFTED THE CAR FROM PARK TO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE, THE CAR SHUDDERED AND DIED. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WASN'T HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD MY DAUGHTER STEER THE CAR WHILE I PUSHED IT OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, IT WOULD RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DIE. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS AND NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE A PROBLEM.

NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON THE CVT ON THE 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA, THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR SOME, BUT NOT ALL. I'VE EXPERIENCED MY VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND VERY STRONG JERKING, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TISCHER NISSAN IN LAUREL AND THE JERKING AND SHUTTING STOPPED AFTER THEY RESET THE CVT PER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, IT HAS STARTED AGAIN AND THEY'RE NOW STATING I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES. THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS PART, YET THEY WON'T BE ACCOUNTABLE. IT IS DANGEROUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE AND IT SHOULD BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

ON 14 MARCH 2017, MY TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 WITH ABOUT 30, 000 MILES ON IT. FROM DAY ONE, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT VARIOUS TIMES BUT THE MECHANICS STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND NO WARMING WAS EVER ABLE TO BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE HALT THROWING ME FORWARD. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO SAFETY AND GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER MATT BOWERS NISSAN LOCATED AT 13050 INTERSTATE 10 SERVICE RD. NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70128. THE CONTACT NUMBER IS (504)245-5900. PRIOR TO ARRIVING, I LEARNED THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL DEALING WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT NOT SPECIFICALLY WITH IT STALLING AND GOING OUT. ACCORDING TO ONLINE AND THE DEALER, NISSAN RECALLED WHATS CALLED A CVT WHICH RESETS THE TRANSMISSION. EVERY LAST ONE OF THE SERVICE MEN AUTOMATICALLY KNEW THE ISSUE WHEN I TOLD THEM IT STOOPED ON THE FREEWAY. ONE GENTLEMAN EVEN STATED HE WOULDN'T EVEN PURCHASE ONE FOR HIS DAUGHTER OR HIS WIFE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ASSUMING NISSAN NAME WAS STILL GOOD. THERE ARE REPORTS OF TRANSMISSION GOING OUT WITH 10, AND 30 THOUSAND MILES. MY HOOD ALSO POOPED OPEN WHILE ON THE FREE AND CRACKED MY WINDSHIED A FEW WEEKS AGO. I LEARNED TODAY THERE IS A RECALL ON THE HOOD. THE BACK DOOR CAME OPEN WHILE MY GRANDKIDS WERE IN THE BACK. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO GET THE REAR DOOR TO CLOSE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN TOYOTA BY KEEPING THIS INFORMATION FROM THE PUBLIC. MY VEHICLE HAS 127512 MILES AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I PUT ALMOST 400 K ON MY IMPALA AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL GOOD. PLEASE MAKE NISSAN PAY AND RECALL THIS TRANSMISSION. OFTEN TIMES CONSUMERS FAIL TO REPORT ISSUES WHICH CAUSE GREAT HARM TO OTHERS. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS IS IN YOUR DATA REGARDING THIS? PLEASE HELP ME. SINGLE MOTHER

FIRST TIME THIS HAPPEN I WAS AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR JUST CUT OFF. STARTED BACK UP PUT IN DRIVE STALLS OUT WHEN IN DRIVE. TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THE NEXT DAY IT'S THE TRANSMISSION IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AT THIS TIME THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS TELLING ME THEY WAITING ON A APPROVAL FROM NISSAN TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. FINALLY I GET A CALL WITHIN THAT LAST WEEK THE CAR IS READY WHEN I GET UP TO NISSAN THEY TELL ME THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED AND THAT THEY DROVE THE CAR TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DIDN'T STALL OUT AGAIN AT THIS TIME THE CAR HAD AT THIS TIME MY CAR HAS 53,000 MILES WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED NOW MY 60000 MILE WARRANTY IS UP I HAVE 63,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT STALLED OUT AT ME AT WORK. THE CAR STARTS UP FINE BUT AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE IT MAKES A WHINING NOISE AND RUMBLING NOISE AND FINALLY GET A CUT OFF ALSO THE CAR WHEN IT DON'T STALL IT DON'T GO IN REVERSE OR DON'T DRIVE FORWARD.

DURING DRIVING THE VEHICLE JERKS AS IF IT'S GOING TO CUT OFF. IT HAS ACTUALLY CUT OFF A FEW TIMES WHILE IN TRAFFIC. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OF SOME OF THE SAME VEHICLE, BUT NOT ALL...EVEN THOUGH IT'S A CONTINUOUS ISSUE. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SALE CARS THAT THEY KNOW HAVE THESE PROBLEMS, LEAVING THE CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. MY VEHICLE HAS 71K MILES AND I UPKEEP WITH ALL MAINTENANCE. *TR

PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS TO MY DEALER REGARDING MY CAR IS THE 'STUTTERING OR JUTTING' OF MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING - AT TIMES ALMOST VIOLENTLY. THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. ON DECEMBER 29, 2016 WHILE TRAVELING FROM MO TO IL, WHILE ON I-44 TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH UPHILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE THE BEST WAY I WOULD DESCRIBE IT. THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED REVVING TO OVER 6,000 RPMS, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT REACT, IT WAS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS REVVING THE ENGINE. THE LOSS OF ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CARS SPEED WHILE GOING UPHILL ON THE EXPRESSWAY PUT US IN SERIOUS DANGER. WE WERE ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS PUT INTO 'PARK' WE WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES BUT DUE TO OUR LOCATION ON THE EXPRESSWAY SHOULDER WE KNEW WE NEEDED TO GET INTO A BETTER SIGHT OF ONCOMING VEHICLES, IT SEEMED AS IF THEY DIDN'T SEE US UNTIL THEY WERE RIGHT NEAR US, MANY TRUCKS WERE UNABLE TO MOVE OVER ON SHORT NOTICE SO WHEN THEY PASTED US AT 70+ MILES THE ENTIRE CAR SHOOK. WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO EITHER 'DRIVE' OR 'REVERSE'. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED, DUE TO HEAVY VOLUME THEY COULD NOT GET TO US FOR AT LEAST 1 1/2 HOURS, THEY DEEMED THE SITUATION DANGEROUS AND THE MISSOURI STATE HIGHWAY PATROL WAS CALLED. WHEN THEY ARRIVED APPROXIMATELY 1/2 HOUR LATER THE CAR WOULD GO INTO DRIVE, BUT WITH EXTREME JERKING AND CONSTANT REVVING OF THE ENGINE. SINCE THE CAR MOVED THEY ESCORTED US THE 1 1/2 MILE TO THE NEAREST EXIT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY, WHILE TRAVELING DOWNHILL, JUST COASTING THE CAR WOULD CONSTANTLY JERK AND THE ENGINE WAS REVVING. THE CAR WAS TOWED BACK THE 200 MILES TO OUR DEALERSHIP. THE CAR EXPERIENCED 'TRANSMISSION FAILURE' AND IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AGAIN. *TR

HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY 2014 ALTIMA, THE SYMPTOMS ARE WHILE SITTING AT A STOP AND ENGINE IDLING AT A NORMAL RPM IN DRIVE THE CAR WILL AT RANDOM BEGIN TO LURCH FORWARD RPMS WILL FLUCTUATE AND AT TIMES ENGINE WILL DIE. AFTER THE ENGINE DIES AT TIMES RESTART IS DIFFICULT AND MAY TAKE TWO OF THREE ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE CAR (ENGINE/TRANSMISSION) WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND THEREFORE (THIS IS MY OPINION) THERE IS NO PROBLEM. WITH ONLY 10,000 MILES LEFT ON MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I FEEL THAT NISSAN HAS PUT ME BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN. *TR

WAITED FOR 25 SECONDS AND RESTARTED CAR TO DRIVE HOME. NEXT DAY, CAR CONTINUED SAME BEHAVIOR MORE OFTEN HOWEVER IT TOOK LONGER AND LONGER TO GET THE CAR TO REMAIN ON AND I HAD TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL EVERY TIME I STOPPED. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THE CAR WOULD NOT PRODUCE ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES. THE CAR SHUT OFF WHEN THE TECH ATTEMPTED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY ON THE FIRST TEST DRIVE. THEY ALLOWED THE CAR TO COOL AND ATTEMPTED A SECOND TEST DRIVE BUT WERE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING LOT.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON 12/31/13. THIS VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS HAD A MINIMUM OF 2 RECALLS ON IT SINCE I HAD IT. I WOULD DRIVE THE CAR NEARLY ALL DAY (NO MORE THAN 50 MILES PER DAY) AND SUDDENLY ONCE I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION AND WAS ABOUT TO CROSS IT, THE CAR ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I COULD HEAR THE RADIO. NOTE: MY TODDLER CHILD WAS WITH ME. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES BUT AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN THE DRIVE GEAR, IT WOULD SHUT OFF AGAIN. I HAD TO SIT TO THE STOP SIGN WITH TRAFFIC APPROACHING FOR NEARLY 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WOULD ALLOW ME TO START AND PUT IT IN GEAR TO DRIVE IT HOME. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A FULL DIAGNOSIS AS THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE COOLED. I HAD NO WAY HOME AS I LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP'S SHUTTLE RADIUS AND WAS OFFERED A RENTAL CAR BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR IT. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TRUST THAT I WOULD MAKE IT BACK HOME WITH IT. I DID MAKE IT HOME BUT IT SHUT OFF IN THE YARD. I HAD IT TOWED A FEW DAYS LATER TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER TESTING AND IT WAS REVEALED TO ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. I AM BOTHERED BY THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND IS 2 YEARS OLD. ALSO, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY CHILD AS IT COULD HAVE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION IN WHICH WE WERE CROSSING.

I EXPERIENCED A GRINDING, SHAKING NOISE AT 2.0 RPM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND THAT WAS WHEN ALL OF MY TROUBLES BEGAN. THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND JERK WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE WAS NOW A VIBRATION AT 1.5 RPM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT A BELT WAS LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME AND IT STILL WAS NOT DRIVING SMOOTHLY AND NOW THE ENTIRE GEAR CONSOLE WAS LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FROM EITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE UPON STARTING, EVEN WHEN THE GEAR SHIFT WAS MOVED. IT WOULD TAKE TWO TRIES EACH TIME TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE FROM PARK. THE VEHICLE WENT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE GEAR CONSOLE WAS ADJUSTED. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE - VEHICLE NOT MOVING WHEN GEAR PLACED IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. THIS WEEKEND (4/30/16) I DROVE THE VEHICLE IN VIRGINIA AND HAD TO NAVIGATE SEVERAL HIGH ELEVATIONS WHILE ON THE I-81 HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH AT BEST, DRAGGING AND THE GEARS WOULD NOT CHANGE. THE CAR WAS RACING LOUDLY TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED, RPM WAS UP AT 3.5 AND THE CAR WAS AT 50 MLES; SPEED LIMIT WAS 70. ONCE I CLEARED THE HILL THE RPMS LEVELED OUT TO 1.5 AND THE CAR HELD THE 70 MPH SPEED. NOTE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PERFORMING THIS WAY BEFORE THE "NEW TRANSMISSION" WAS INSTALLED. I DID HAVE THE GRINDING AND RACING NOISE AT 2.0 RPM, BUT NO HESITATION, JERKING OR ANY DIFFICULTIES IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS. THAT LEADS ME TO CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ALSO LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHOM I AM AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM ON MY COMPLAINT. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 18,694 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST OF 2014.

HELLO, I BOUGHT NISSAN ALTIMA 2014 IN NOV 2013 FROM NISSAN FAULKER JENKINTOWN, PA AND AROUND JULY-AUG 2014, I HAD ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED ITSELF WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON GAS PEDAL, I HAD TO TOW IT TO NISSAN FAULKER IN JENKINTOWN, PA, THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG AND ASKED ME TO PICK MY CAR, AGAIN ON JAN 30TH, 2016 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I680 FROM SACRAMENTO TO SAN JOSE, THE CAR STARTED DE-ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN FROM 65MPH TO 5MPH AND I HAD TO PULL IT ON SHOULDER AND LUCKILY NO CAR WAS ON WAY AND HAD TO TOW IT TO NISSAN DEALER, MY CAR IS AROUND 55K MILES AND NOW I AM AFRAID AFTER THIS MY CAR WOULD BE OUT OF WARRANTY AND I HAVE TO SHED LOT OF MONEY FOR REPAIR IN NEAR FUTURE OF NO FAULT OF MINE.

I PURCHASED A USED 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA THE END OF APRIL 2015 FROM ENTERPRISE CAR SALES. I WAS TOLD THEY DID SUCH A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES THAT THE CAR WAS IN GREAT CONDITION. IN OCTOBER 2015, WITH APPROXIMATELY, 61,000 MILES ON THE NISSAN, IT STARTED RANDOMLY HESITATING. I WOULD PUSH THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. A FEW DAYS LATER, I WAS PULLING OUT FROM AN INTERSECTION AND I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE!! I BARELY MADE IT HOME. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, $3400 AND THAT THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. I CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND FILED A CLAIM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTER ABOUT 5 OR 6 DAYS, I RECEIVED A CALL BACK AND WAS TOLD NO, THEY WOULD NOT COVER OR HELP PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I ASKED IF THEY WERE AWARE OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS, THE REP SAID THEY HAD PROBLEMS ON PREVIOUS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLES BUT NOT ON THE 2014(S). OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE STILL PROBLEMS!!! A 2014 VEHICLE SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION!!!

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA S WITH 48,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR FOUR MONTHS I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND ACTING LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS. I PURCHASED THE STUFF FOR FUEL THAT YOU USE TO INCREASE THE OCTANE IN THE TANK AND FILLED UP THE TANK. THE CAR DROVE OK FOR A DAY OR TWO, THEN IT STARTED WITH THE FOLLOWING. WHEN I DEPRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AT A STOP LIGHT, IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO PULL OFF. AT THAT TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOOKED AT THE OWNERS MANUAL AND IT STATED IT WAS A FUEL EMISSION ISSUE. FILL THE TANK WITH HIGH OCTANE GAS AND THE LIGHT SHOULD GO OUT IN A FEW TRIPS. THE ISSUE CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AS I WAS DRIVING SAT, 10/10/15. I WENT FROM PULLING OFF SLOWLY, TO WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR IT WOULDN'T GO AT ALL UNTIL I KEPT PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, THEN DRIVE, THEN PARK, THEN DRIVE MANY TIMES UNTIL IT DECIDED TO DRIVE. AT THAT POINT I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR HOME CAUSE THE ISSUE WAS GETTING WORSE. ONLY I NEVER MADE IT HOME THE CAR SUDDENLY DECIDED IT WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 35 IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT JUST SLOWED DOWN IMMEDIATELY AND MADE THIS LOUD WHINING NOISE. HAD I NOT BEEN IN AN AREA WHERE I COULD PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY MY 72 YEAR MOTHER AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN TOAST.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SV FROM BAKER NISSAN NORTH IN HOUSTON, TEXAS (19630 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77065 (281) 890-5656). MY TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE (REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AND NOW HAVING TO BE REPLACED AGAIN) AND I HAVE BEEN GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. THEN TO TOP IT OFF I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND HAVE PURCHASED A TOTAL OF FOUR CARS FROM THIS DEALERSHIP NOW. I FILED A CONSUMER AFFAIRS REPORT WITH NISSAN CORPORATION AND HAVE YET TO HEAR SOMETHING. I ALSO CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE IN CHARGE SUCH AS THE GENERAL MANAGER AND THEY INFORMED ME TO CONTACT THE CONSUMERS AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT WITH NISSAN CORPORATION. THEY SAID THEY HAVE A CHAIN OF COMMAND TO FOLLOW AND THAT WOULD BE MY BEST BET OF GETTING THE SITUATION RESOLVED. I WOULD LIKE THIS SITUATION TO BE INVESTIGATED AND JUSTICE. I DO NOT SPEND MY HARD EARNED MONEY TO HAVE A CAR THAT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AND COULD PUT MY LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER. IT COMES DOWN TO THE FACT THAT THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND I SHOULD BE GIVEN BRAND NEW TRANSPORTATION OR THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD PURCHASE THE CAR AND PAY OFF THE LOAN AND LET ME TAKE MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE....... I ALSO HAVE COPIES OF MY MAINTENANCE RECORDS FOR DOCUMENTATION PURPOSES.....THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON. *TR..UPDATED 11/05/15 *BF THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE AC WAS BLOWING OUT HOT AIR, THEN COOL AIR AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN.

TRANSMISSION FAILS ON THE HIGHWAY THIS IS THE SECOND TIME FOR A BRAND NEW CAR. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CAR THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER . THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED WAS @ 3000 MILES . THE SECOND TIME IS AT 13000 MILES. THE BIGGEST RISK IS BEING REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND NISSAN KNOWS THEIR CVT FOR ALTIMA AND ROGUE 2014 IS AN ISSUE, NO MOVE FROM MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE THE CAR OR RECALL ALL CARS IN QUESTION

WE TOOK A TRIP TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN FROM ASHEVILLE NC, OUR ALTIMA BEGAN TO DIE WHEN IDLING IN DETROIT. I THOUGHT WE HAD BAD GAS SO PURCHASED LUCAS FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER AND FILLED THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE IMPROVED WE CONTINUED OUR TRIP TO INDIAN RIVER MI. ONCE WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION I PARKED THE CAR AND IT SAT FROM SATURDAY UNTIL THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY MORNING. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE, I SHIFTED THE CAR BACK INTO PARK AND THEN TO REVERSE AGAIN DEPRESSED TO FUEL PEDAL AND IT BEGAN TO MOVE. WE STARTED ON OUR DAY TRIP AND ABOUT TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED AND WOULD NOT GO FAST THAN 20MPH, WE CALLED NISSAN ASSISTANCE AND THE SENT A WRECKER TO GET US. THE WRECKER TO US TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP TWO HOURS AWAY, AFTER SPENDING ANOTHER FOUR HOURS AT THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT OUR VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP GOT US A RENTAL CAR AND WE ARE CURRENTLY ON OUR WAY HOME. I WILL BE TALKING TO NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE ON MONDAY TO SEE HOW THEY PLAN ON GETTING OUR VEHICLE BACK TO US. WE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNALS CAME ON TO WARN US UNTIL THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL.

PURCHASED NEW 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SL 3.5L AT APPROXIMATELY 2200 MILES WHEN ACCELRATING AT A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE JERKED (AS IF IT COULD NOT CHANGE GEARS), HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST. TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP AT 2 DEALERS IN 2 STATES WHO COULD NOT CAPTURE INFORMATION AT THAT TIME. BY 12000 MILES WHILE RETURNING FROM VACATION (1/4/2015) THE VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVEABLE. TOOK TO LOCAL DEALER AND NEEDED A COMPLETEE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. AT THIS TIME, VEHICLE WAS JERKING, MISSING GEARS, CHANGING GEARS INDEPENDENTLY, TRYING TO GO IN TO A LOWER GEAR WHILE BREAKED AT A STOP LIGHT AND ENGINE WOULD REV TO ACCELRATE, VEHICLE SHOOK, AND WAS LITERALLY DETERIORATING EACH MILE. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, AT APPROXIMATELY 14500 MILES, THE SAME VEHICLE SYMPTOMS HAVE BEGUN. TOOK TO DEALER WHILE TRAVELING, THEY WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE MINIMAL DATA BECAUSE AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND SHAKE, THEIR BATTERY DIED IN THE LAP TOP. HOWEVER, SOME DATA WAS RECORDED. ADVISED TO DRIVE HOME AND FILE COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN MOTORS NORTH AMERICA (WHICH I HAVE DONE,) VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER FOR CONTINUAL STUDY AND NEW TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. WAS ADVISED BY REPAIR MANAGER, THAT TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOW BEING KNOWN TO SEIZE WHILE BEING DROVE. I HAVE REQUESTED NISSAN PURCHASE MY VEHICLE BACK, PAY OFF MY LOAN AND REFUND ANY TRADE IN VALUES AND PAYMENTS MADE ON NMAC LOAN BECAUSE I REFUSE TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION EVERY 2000 MILES. AT THIS TIME VEHICLE IS SHIFTING SPURATICALLY AT ANY MILEAGE. MORE AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT ALSO AT 70MPH ON HIGHWAYS.

WE RENTED A 2014 ALTIMA S FROM A LOCAL HERTZ RENT-A-CAR AND TRAVELED ROUNDTRIP FROM FLORIDA TO NEW YORK. ON THE RETURN TRIP WE STOPPED AT A REST AREA JUST ENTERING SOUTH CAROLINA. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WENT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE THE CAR STALLED OUT. I PROCEEDED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE AGAIN IN REVERSE, AGAIN IT STALLED; TRIED AGAIN TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, AGAIN IT STALLED. I THEN CALLED HERTZ EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO GET A TOW TO THE NEAREST HERTZ RENTAL WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE TO THE NEAREST AIRPORT. THE TOW CAME IN 45 MINUTES SINCE THE NEAREST RELIABLE TOW WAS IN NORTH CAROLINA. EVEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER COULD NOT PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR WITHOUT THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT EVEN AFTER COOLING FOR ALMOST AN HOUR. THE CAR RENTAL GAVE US ANOTHER VEHICLE, A NISSAN SENTRA, WHICH WAS THE LARGEST VEHICLE THEY HAD AVAILABLE. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO FINISH OUR TRIP TO FLORIDA WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INCIDENCE. THE RENTAL AGENT OR HIS BOSS COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED; THAT THEY'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THEIR RENTALS; THAT SHE'LL GIVE ME A TOKEN DOLLARS OFF MY RENTAL SINCE NO OTHER PLACES WOULD EVEN DO WHAT SHE DID FOR US....UPDATED 07/30/15 *BF UPDATED 9/24/2015 *JS

I HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 15 MONTHS AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. SO ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A JERK WHEN I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS WHEN COMING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. ONE TIME MY CAR EVEN SLIGHTLY SLID AND THE TIRE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE THAT HAPPENED BUT THEY SAID THAT THE ONLY ISSUE THEY SAW WAS THAT MY WHEELS WERE UNBALANCED. I STILL EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE FROM TIME TO TIME AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR FOR A REASON AND THAT WAS TO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH CAR ISSUES FOR A WHILE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR LAST YEAR AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN ABOUT 13 MONTHS. ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A KIND OF JERK WHEN I WOULD START OFF A STOP LIGHT AND ACCELERATE. FIRST THINKING IT WAS NOT A GREAT DEAL, I KEPT GOING HOWEVER I NOTICED IT THAT IT WAS BECOMING MORE CONSTANT. ONE DAY ABOUT TO REVERSE OUT OF A PARKING LOT, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AT ALL FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I THEN TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT STARTED WORKING FINE. BEING LATE FOR WORK, I THEN CONTINUED ON AND UNTIL YESTERDAY EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. YESTERDAY, I GOT INTO MY CAR, STARTED IT, SWITCHED TO DRIVE, AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, TURNED IT ON AGAIN, MOVED THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN. I HAVE SINCE HAD IT TOWED AND IT IS BEING CHECKED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS BEING A ONE YEAR OLD CAR, I DO NOT EXPECT IT TO GIVE THESE ISSUES.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RPMS BEGAN JUMPING. IT WAS ACTING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THEN AFTER STOPPING, THE TRANSMISSION TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS TO GO INTO GEAR. A SHORT TIME LATER, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 60MPH. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAD UNDER 20,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED 5 TIMES. *TR

DRIVING IN MIDDLE LANE ON EXPRESSWAY IN CHICAGO, WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AGAIN I THOUGHT I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE MY CAR JUMPED. AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, CAR JUMPED AGAIN AND THEN DIED. TOWED TO THE DEALER, WAS FIRST TOLD IT WAS AN ECM DEFECT AND WOULD REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. THEN RECEIVED A CALL THAT SOME OTHER ERRORS CAME UP REGARDING MY TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION BASED OFF THE ERROR BUT WILL HAVE TO PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE. THE ISSUE OF THE CAR JUMPING HAD BEEN HAPPENING PRIOR AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HAD THEY NOT FOUND THE OTHER ERRORS I WOULD HAVE PICKED UP THE CAR THINKING IT WAS FIXED AND THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING 60MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES FROM IT! I HAVE READY MANY REVIEWS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T WANT TO RECALL FOR IT! *TR

Mileage: 70,000

I HAVE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE - 2014 ALTIMA SL. SEVERAL TIMES AFTER STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION STOPS SWITCHING GEARS (SPEEDS). IT GETS STUCK ON A FIRST GEAR EQUIVALENT IN CVT TRANSMISSION. THE FIX IS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, OBVIOUSLY THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS ON THE ROAD WHERE THERE ARE NO PLACES TO STOP. ANOTHER MAJOR PROBLEM IS A HEAD UNIT (NAVIGATION, RADIO, ETC). IT RESTARTS BY ITSELF NOW AND THAN, SOMETIMES RIGHT IN A MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHEN I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EXIT TO TAKE AND I NEED THE GPS GUIDANCE. ITS ABSOLUTELY UNRELIABLE. I'M NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE SOFTWARE HERE THAT IS TERRIBLE, BY THE WAY, BUT IN ANY SITUATION IT SHOULD NOT RESTART BY ITSELF! ANOTHER PROBLEM, AS MENTIONED BY OTHERS, IS MILEAGE. I GET MUCH LESS MILES AS ADVERTISED! THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN! *TR

AFTER SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING, IE AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN OR AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT WAITING TO GO, WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP OR SLOW DOWN THERE IS A HESITATION BEFORE THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE PROPERLY. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BECAUSE OF THIS HESITATION, I WAS IN DANGER OF NOT GETTING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION OR OF NOT COMPLETING A TURN IN TIME TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO DEALER TODAY (1600 MILES ON ODOMETER), EXPLAINED PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND CONFIRMED THAT THIS HAPPENS AS I EXPLAINED; TECH DID NOT KNOW WHY UNTIL HE FOUND SERVICE BULLETIN VIDEO. THEY CHECKED SERVICE BULLETIN (SERVICE VIDEO) THAT DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING BUT NISSAN INDICATES THAT THIS IS NOT A "PROBLEM" AND THAT IS "NORMAL" FOR THIS 2014 MODEL "CVT SHIFTING"; SAYS IT IS A "NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC" OF THIS 2014 MODEL CVT AND NOT A "PROBLEM". I AM RELUCTANT NOW TO KEEP THIS CAR FOR FEAR OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK YOUR DATA BASE TO SEE IF 2014 ALTIMA WITH THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN AN UNUSUAL NUMBER OF INTERSECTION ACCIDENTS. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS A PUSH BUTTON START/STOP. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE CAN BE LEFT IN GEAR AND THE AUDIBLE WARNING INDICATORS ARE CONFUSING AND INCONSISTENT. AS I WAS WALKING AWAY FROM THE CAR IT WOULD NOT REMOTE LOCK. I LOOKED BACK AND IT WAS ROLLING ACROSS THE PARKING LOT. ANY NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE LEFT IT IN NEUTRAL BY MISTAKE. THE AUDIBLE WARNING SYSTEM IS TERRIBLE, INCONSISTENT AND THIS IS DANGEROUS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO FIX AND YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND NISSAN SAID THEY DON'T ACCEPT REDESIGN SUGGESTIONS OVER THE PHONE. I HAD TO JUMP IN THE CAR WITH A BAD BACK AND HIP TO STOP IT AS IT ROLLED ACROSS THE PARKING LOT. VERY DANGEROUS. AUDIBLE DOOR OPEN AND LIGHTS ON WARNINGS ARE INCONSISTENT AS IS THE KEY RECOGNITION SYSTEM. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR IF I KNEW IT HAD SUCH A DANGEROUS FLAW AND BAD ELECTRONICS. MY PHONE MESSAGE HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THIRD GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300.

Mileage: 300

AS THE SPEED REDUCES BELOW 25 MPH, WHEN YOU LEAVE GAS PEDAL, EVEN ON A LEVEL ROAD, THE ENGINE RPM APPEARS TO FALL AT OR BELOW 1000 RPM AND THEN SHOOTS UP TO 1300 RPM. IT THEN STRUGGLES TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR RATIO AND FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 1000-1500 RPM WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION. THIS CREATES A JERKY BEHAVIOR AND ACCELERATION WHEN NONE INTENDED ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE INTENDS TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ALMOST ZERO ENGINE ASSIST FOR DECELERATION. INSTEAD OF DROPPING TO AROUND 1000 OR LOWER AND THEN STAYING STEADY THERE, IT DROPS AND JUMPS UP WHICH CREATES DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION ESPECIALLY IN RAIN AND SNOW. RPM APPEARED TO DROP AND THEN SHOOT TO STAY ABOVE 1000 RPM INSTEAD OF GRADUALLY DROPPING AND STAYING STEADY. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND HE REPRODUCED THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, OTHER ALTIMA IN INVENTORY SHOWED SIMILAR BEHAVIOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NISSAN WAS CONTACTED AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A "FEATURE". THIS IS NOT RIGHT - IN FACT THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR REPORTS AS FAR BACK AS 2007 ALTIMAS - AND MUST BE CORRECTED. IT APPEARS THAT THEY FIXED AN ISSUE WITH STALLING VEHICLES IN 2013 ALTIMAS AND INTRODUCED NEW PROBLEM WHERE YOU HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES MANY TIMES TO ACHIEVE STABLE IDLE SPEED OF 750 RPM. THIS IS WEARING MY BRAKES PREMATURELY AND IS A HAZARD IN RAIN AND SNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION WHEN IT SHOULD REALLY DECELERATE. I CAN NOT OVERSTATE THE RISK WHEN ONE HAS TO DRIVE 10 MPH OR 20 MPH IN SNOW... *TR

Mileage: 1,300

CAR WILL SHUDDER AT LOW SPEEDS (15-35 MPH) TOOK CAR IN TO DEALER, THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE BUT, THE TRANSMISSION "FAILED' THE DIAG TEST. A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN THE CAR. THE CAR STILL WILL SHUTTER UNEXPECTEDLY MOSTLY AT LOW SPEEDS (HOWEVER A COUPLE OF TIMES HAVE BE DOCUMENTED BY ME AT HI-WAY SPEEDS) IN GENERAL, WHEN THE MOTOR RPMS ARE AROUND 1000 RPMS AND YOU GIVE IT A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION, IT WILL GET IN TO THE TORQUE STALL SITUATION. SO, COMING TO STOP LIGHTS AND THEN NEEDING TO GO BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, OR TURNING ON SUBDIVISION WHERE SLOW SPEEDS ARE REQUIRED OR TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT OR PARKING SPACE. HAVE DOCUMENTED MANY MANY DATES WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT WAS BACK TO THE DEALER BUT, THE HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE HAPPEN TO THEM. I HAVE NOT LET MY TEENAGED DRIVERS DRIVE THE CARS AS I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE FOR THEM TO DO SO. THIS SITUATION IS NOT SAFE. *TR

MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO SHOPPING CENTER AND CAR STARTED JERKING , TWO DAYS LATER GOING THROUGH A 25MPH SCHOOL ZONE AND CAR STARTED JERKING ,TOOK CAR INTO DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WHEN I PICKED CAR UP, ON THE WAY HOME WHENEVER I WOULD SLOW DOWN TO STOP THE CAR WOULD MAKE A WHINING NOISE AND IT WOULD COME TO A HARD STOP, TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL . IT WAS NOT DOINTHAT BEFORE THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS SENT A SPECIALIST OUT TO CHECK THE CAR OUT HE DROVE THE CAR AND HE FELT THE ISSUE , I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKING UP AND THAT WAS NORMAL, TOOK CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION AND HE DROVE THE CAR AND EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKING UP , IT MAKES THIS JERKING AT DIFFERENT SPEED LEVELS AND THE WHINING AND HARD STOPPING IS CONSTANT THE SECOND DEALER TOLD ME THAT I MAY HAVE A SOFTWARE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE COMPUTER THAT THEY HOOKED UP TO THE CAR SHOWS NO PROBLEMS I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM . SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE .IT WAS NOT MAKING THE WHINING NOISE AND MAKING THE HARD STOPS WHERE IT MAKES THE CAR MOVE.I AM STILL DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA MY WIFE HAD PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND "PUSHED" THE STOP ENGINE BUTTON WHILE THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS OUT INTO THE STREET INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE WERE LUCKY IT DIDN'T CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! THIS CARS GEAR SHIFT "DOES NOT" HAVE TO BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO "PUSH" THE BUTTON THAT STOPS THE ENGINE IT CAN BE IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AND THE CAR WILL START ROLLING IF IT IS ON A HILL!. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WITH-OUT THE ENGINE RUNNING YOU LOSE ALL YOUR POWER STEERING AND BRAKES! IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HILL OR STEEP MOUNTAIN GRADE THE CAR COULD ROLL OVER A CLIFF OR OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THIS MALFUNCTION MANY TIMES AND EACH TIME I WAS TOLD "THE CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED" PLEASE HAVE THEM CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE IS KILLED!

I STOPPED THE CAR AND BELIEVED I PUT IT IN PARK. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR--IT DID NOT MOVE. I WENT TO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND GOT MY TWO YEAR OLD OUT OF HER CAR SEAT. I PLACED HER BESIDE THE CAR AND SHUT THE REAR DOOR. I WALKED AROUND BEHIND THE CAR TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I TURNED THE CAR OFF LIKE I ALWAYS DO. THE CAR SHUT OFF--AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING--BEGAN RAPIDLY MOVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. MY BABY WAS AT THE REAR OF THE CAR AND SHE USUALLY FOLLOWS ME. I RAN AND HAD TO JUMP IN THE MOVING CAR. THE FRONT LEFT DRIVER WHEEL NEARLY RAN ME OVER. I TRIED TO GAIN CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE BY DESPERATELY TRIED TO STOP IT. I WAS ROLLING THE SPEED OF A SKATEBOARD RELEASED FROM THE TOP OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL HAD LOCKED. I HAD TO PUSH HARD ON THE BRAKE. I STOPPED IT AND THERE WERE SKIDMARKS ON THE ASPHALT. I STOPPED THE CAR BEFORE IT SLAMMED INTO MY NEIGHBOR'S CAR. HAD I NOT STOPPED IT AND RISKED PERSONAL INJURY THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH TO MOVE AND LOOK. I THOUGHT MY BABY WAS DEAD. I THOUGHT THE CAR HAD CRUSHED HER. MY NEIGHBOR TOLD ME MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN MISSED BY INCHES. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE GEARSHIFT, IT WAS IN D. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT SHUT OFF IN DRIVE. IT ALMOST KILLED MY DAUGHTER, DAMAGED PERSONAL PROPERTY, AND I AM INJURED. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS: THEY STATED THAT THIS HAPPENS "IN ALL AUTOMATIC CARS." WHICH THAT IS FALSE. I CALLED BACK TO TELL THEM I HAD FRIENDS AND FAMILY WITH VARYING 2014 PUSH BUTTON CARS TRY AND TURN THEIR CARS OFF IN D. NONE OF THEM WOULD TURN OFF UNLESS IN PARK. WHAT IS SOMEONE WAS DRIVING AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE BUTTON ON THE FREEWAY? LOSS OF STEERING, BRAKES, CONTROL??? THIS IS A FATAL ENGINEERING PROBLEM. I KNOW GM HAD A HUGE RECALL FOR SIMILAR. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TOLD ME " THERE WOULD BE NO RECALL" AND THAT I SHOULD "BE MORE CAREFUL." *TR

EXAMPLE 1. WHILE DRIVING IN MY TOWN HOME COMMUNITY AND SLIGHTLY TURNING RIGHT WHILE GOING UP A SLIGHTLY INCLINED ROAD THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND IT SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION IS LOCKING UP. GOES AWAY EITHER BY REMOVING ALL PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR OR IF EXCESSIVE ACCELERATOR PRESSURE IS APPLIED. THE TYPE OF ACCELERATOR PRESSURE NEEDED TO STOP THE EXCESSIVE SHAKING WOULD BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SPEED THAT IS UNSAFE RELATIVE TO OBSERVED SPEEDS LIMITS IN COMMUNITY. EXAMPLE 2. THESE EXHIBITED SYMPTOMS HAVE ALSO OCCURRED WITH AN INCREASING FREQUENCY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS IN LIGHT TO MODERATE TRAFFIC: WHEN YOU ARE COASTING UP TO SLOWER MOVING TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF YOU AND THEN NEED TO ACCELERATE AS THAT TRAFFIC INCREASES SPEED, THE CAR WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS OCCURS MOSTLY AT SPEEDS UNDER 30 -35 MPH BUT HAS BEEN FELT AT SPEEDS AS HIGH AS 55 MPH. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE ENTIRE DRIVE TRAIN OF THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 1200 MILES ON ODOMETER AND SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN INCREASINGLY NOTICEABLE AND FREQUENT SINCE 605 MILES ON ODOMETER. SEPARATE ISSUE: NAVIGATION / AUDIO SYSTEM HAS FROZEN SCREEN UPON START UP AND BECOMES UN RESPONSIVE. NO ABILITY TO CHANGE PREVIOUS VOLUME LEVEL OF RADIO WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN LEFT AT HIGH VOLUME LEVEL DURING PREVIOUS DRIVE. INPUT IS NOT ACCEPTED ON HEAD UNIT OR STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS. NAVIGATION WILL NOT INITIATE. CAR MUST BE RESTARTED FOR SYSTEM TO REBOOT AND THIS MAY REMEDY THE PROBLEM FOR ONE DRIVE CYCLE OR MORE. HAS OCCURRED 5 OR MORE TIMES IN FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. SHOULD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THE DRIVE TRAIN OCCUR, I FEEL THAT I AM AT RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. ADDITIONALLY I AM CONCERNED THAT RESALE VALUE OF VEHICLE WILL BE DIMINISHED DUE TO DAMAGE CAUSED BY INHERENT DESIGN FLAW IN POWER TRAIN AND IN-CAR ELECTRONICS. *TR

LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH ON A FREEWAY. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD A DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *JS

Mileage: 8,200

I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. WHEN THERE WAS AN OPENING IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO PROCEED FORWARD AND AS I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROPPED THE RPM'S AND ACTED AS IF IN "LIMP MODE". I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR TO TRY TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND AND ONLY "CRAWLED" THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION DUE TO THIS ISSUE ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND ALMOST HIT ME. ONCE I EXITED THE INTERSECTION I LOOKED FOR A PLACE TO PULL OVER AND STOPPED ABOUT A 500 YARDS FROM THE INTERSECTION. I THEN NOTICED THE VDC LIGHT WAS ON. I PRESSED THE VDC BUTTON AND IT LITE UP ANOTHER INDICATOR ON THE DASH SHOWING OFF. I PRESSED IT AGAIN AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT HOWEVER THE OTHER VDC LIGHT ON THE DASH STAYED ILLUMINATED. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND WAITED A COUPLE MINUTES AND WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THE OTHER VDC LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE VEHICLE THEN DROVE NORMAL. I HAVE SINCE NOTICED A SOUND LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SPINNING WHENI PRESS THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SO I WENT HOME. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO "FAULT CODES" AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY MY NEW CAR WHEN INTO "LIMP MODE" AND THE VDC LIGHT CAME ON. THIS CAR IS NEW AND NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT! THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN BRING IT BACK. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS PROBLEMS ON OTHER INTERNET CAR FORUMS REGARDING OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA'S WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE IS EVEN ANOTHER ONE ON THIS SITE! THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ASAP. I COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR NO MATTER WHAT I DID. *TR

2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SL 2.5 MAKES ALLOT OF NOISE AND VIBRATION WHEN YOU ACCELERATE TO GET UP TO A HIGHWAY SPEED WHETHER IT IS FROM THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION IT IS VERY LOUD INSIDE THE CAR! THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT OF PLAY IN IT AT A DEAD STOP WITH ENGINE RUNNING BY TURNING THE WHEEL RIGHT TO LEFT! YOU ALSO HEAR CLUNKING NOISES TURNING IT RIGHT TO LEFT! THE FUEL IN THE TANK MAKES LOUD SWISHING NOISES SORT AS IF I HAVE A SMALL OCEAN IN MY FUEL TANK!

NO UNUSUAL SOUNDS OR CHECK ENGINE NOTICED WITH THE FOLLOWING: 1) WHILE SITTING IN CRAMPED TRAFFIC, I LET OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO INCH FORWARD A FEW FEET WHILE RIDING THE BRAKE. RMS DROPPED TO 500 FOR EVERY INSTANCE AND CAR BEGAN TO SHUTTER. *TR 2) COMING TO STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS. AFTER TRAVELING A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 1/8-1/4 MILE @30-40 MPH, THE DECELERATION CAUSED THE RPM TO DROP TO 500 AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUTTER AS I REACHED THE STOPPING POINT. I NOTICED THIS EVERY NOW AND THEN. I CANNOT REPLICATE, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE RPM DROP ON TWO OCCASIONS WITHIN 5 MIN OF EACH OTHER. 3) SHUTTERING THAT OCCURS AT LOW SPEEDS IS FELT AT HIGHER SPEEDS (50+).FEEL THE SHUTTERING AS IF TRANSMISSION WAS TRYING TO GET TO NEXT GEAR, BUT IT HOLDS STEADY AND VIBRATES. NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE. 4) AT RANDOM PERIODS OF JUST WAITING IN THE CAR WITH IT RUNNING, WILL FEEL SURGE AS RPMS DROP FOR AN INSTANCE. TOOK VEHICLE IN BASED ON COMPLAINTS. SERVICE CENTER INITIATED THE CAR TO "RE-LEARN" IDLE. ISSUE 1, NO LONGER A PROBLEM THUS FAR. ISSUE 2, STILL AN ISSUE. ISSUE 3 STILL AN ISSUE. ISSUE 4, STILL AN ISSUE. TAKING IT BACK TO SAME DEALER AGAIN, AND ANOTHER DEALER FOR A 2ND SERVICE TEAM DIAGNOSTICS. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE AND I FEEL MY GAS PEDAL VIBRATE WHEN DRIVING APPROX. 30-40 MPH AND UP. NISSAN TECHNICAL SERVICES MECHANIC SAID THAT IS NORMAL FOR NISSAN ALTIMA 2013/2014. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN AT A STOP LIGHT, VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SLOW DOWN. IT FELT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO LOSE POWER. I HAD TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR HARDER THAN EXPECTED AS THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE BEARING DOWN ON ME IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND IT APPEARS TO BE A TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUE. THE SHAKING IS NOT AN ISSUE IN ITSELF, HOWEVER IT COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS IF SOMEONE IS MAKING A TURN AND NEEDS TO GET OUT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SEEM TO RESPOND AS EXPECTED. *JS
