I purchased my 2015 Nissan Altima in July, 2022 with 56,530 miles on it. At this date it has approximately 71,500 miles on it. I have driven it 14,970 miles in 2.5 years. On [XXX] I was driving home from Thanksgiving in East Brunswick, NJ to my home in South Philadelphia on [XXX] in New Jersey when my car suddenly began to have a slow down in ability to accelerate. I ended up pulling over after a moment of slowing down and not knowing what was happening. When I got to the break down lane, the car stalled. I ended up getting road side assistance to tow me to Ward's Automotive in Mt. Laurel, NJ, where my family and I have brought cars for many years (we used to live in Moorestown, NJ. Ward's ended up telling me the following Monday that my engine was "bad." I have no idea how my engine died after only 71,500 miles on this car! I got oil changes on it every 5,000 miles. I did report to the dealership in December, 2022 that I was hearing weird noises coming from the right front side but they told me they heard nothing. What can I do??? I am still paying for this vehicle (approx. $3,100 left on loan). I did not purchase an extended warranty when I bought it used. I have learned my lesson, but I need help understanding what rights I have. I don't know if there is any Manufacturer's Warranty on the car. Please help me!

I was using cruise control on the highway. My RPMs started going up and down and my speed slowed. I took it off cruise control and the speed was irregular. The car responded slowly to my pressing the accelerator. My car started squealing and I pulled over on the turnpike. I tried to press the accelerator after I stopped but the car would not move. I was unsafe because my car was on the shoulder of a highway and it was 85 degrees. I was also unsafe because my speed was not consistent and there was traffic around me. Lastly, I had to wait an hour for a tow truck. Two mechanics confirmed that this is a CVT judder problem. There were no warning lamps and no signs of a problem before this occurred.

AUTOMAKER REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH THE CVT RECALL.

Vehicle has problem accelerating after a stop, this doesn't flash codes and so dealer claims vehicle is okay to drive... upon asking in forums this is a common issue relating to the Step Motor and has been replicated across various model years with varying mileage. This issue has been happening for approx the last 60k miles and the dealer cannot replicate.

While stopped at a light, pressed gas pedal and car wouldn’t go for some time. After it started going car wouldn’t shift out of first. I revved the car a few times to get it to shift then car wouldn’t shift out of second. Took into mechanic and had diagnosis around a pulley in the CVT transmission. Also was told that the mechanic sees this model many times a year for transmission issues

I have a issue with my vehicle going into LIMP MODE due to a safety issue with the TCM loosing programming with the transmission. This is a BIG SAFETY as I'm on the Hi way. Car will go from 75 mph down to 20mph and can cause for severe car accident. I spike to your warranty department and they gave me the run around. I gave them Info in reguards to a Campaing ID# Which is a clear issue that these NISSAN CARS are still having. A recall was terminated in late 2016, yet a bulletin was posted online of it being active as of 1/ 2017 still. I was told that it's MY PROBLEM NOW AND MY ISSUE TO HAVE NISSAN CHARGE ME FOR A REPROGRAMMING of the TCM when Clearly this issue is still present in. Vehicles in 2024. Many of times I came close to averting a major accident due to car loosing communications with TCM. AGAIN this is very unfair as to how a dealership can brush this SAFETY ISSUE UNDER THE RUG BY SIMPLY TELLING A NISSAN VEHICLE OWNER, SORRY RECALL WAS CLOSED, AFTER LESS THEN A YEAR OF FINDING OUT THE ISSUE ON A CAR. NISSAN must want someone to end up DEAD in there cars due to a TCM MALFUNCTION WITH TRANSMISSION SO THEY CAN BRING THIS TO LIGHT AGAIN. THE SERVICE BULLETIN IS STILL OUT THERE ON THERE FORUMS AND STATES NOTHING ABOUT WARRANTY, MILAGE OF VEHICLE OR ANY TIME FRAME, YET DENY THAT THE ISSUE STILL EXIST IN THERE VEHICLES. I HOPE YOU ALL CAN INVESTIGATE THIS FURTHER AND HAVE NISSAN CORRECT THERE WRONGS AND NOT ALLOW SOMEONE TO DIE ON ANY AMERICAM ROAD DUE TO THERE NEGLECT OF A STILL PERSISTANT ISSUE...

Vehicle has a current defected transmission that Nissan is aware off and fixed vehicles within a certain warranty period. Customers should have received letter making them aware of the defected transmission, I explained to Nissan I never received a letter. I am assuming this happened because I purchased the vehicle used, the person I spoke to from Nissan said unfortunately this happens. Nissan should be required to fix the vehicle as they failed to notify me of the defected transmission.

In 3 different occasions in this same particular order my car would start to slowly loose acceleration of only letting me drive to 10mph before lights on dash would come on such as ps,abs,traction control ect. Then my radio would shut off followed by my whole dashboard before completely the whole vehicle would completely shutdown on me and I could not start up again. I replaced the battery and put in a new alternator, but continued doing the exact same issue. I took it to a mechanic and he determined that for whatever reason the new alternator was not sending out the power and replaced it again and have to reprogram the entire computer because it was sending all kinds of codes that had nothing to do with my vehicles issue. He also noticed the continues whining sort of whistling noise coming from the powersterring as I have read in the past that people have that same problem on this particular model. As of this moment its been about 1 month and has not yet stalled on me for now, but it is very dangerous when this happens in the middle of the street or highway when your running at a certain speed and cannot control your steering since its powersterring.

CVT failure and headlights failure

Original transmissional failed at 67,000 miles. Replaced under a Fidelity warranty. 54,000 miles later, the transmission failed again. My safety and the safety of others was at risk due to the car not accelerating properly. Car was revving to 4rpm and only going 20mph. No warning lights appeared, I drove straight to the dealer to have it diagnosed. 2 "red codes" came back indicating needs to be replaced again, at my own expense.

For the last few days my car has been hesitant to accelerate. At low speed acceleration it jerks a few times then the rpms go way high and is slow to shift & accelerate. It is automatic. This problem has been gradually increasing over past 2 years. I did take it to a dealership when the hood latch was replaced due to recall this year and they just suggested I drain/replace the transmission fluid in hopes that it fixes the acceleration issues. They already knew when I went into the dealership that it wasn't in warranty anymore and because I couldn't afford to fully fix the problem they just brushed me off. This isn't a safe car anymore to drive. I have 2 children and this is our primary vehicle. I just know whatever this issue with the transmission and power train stuff is not safe and it's only a matter of time until something major brakes down, I just hope it does not clunk out on us to where we wreck. These power train/transmission issues have started affecting the cruise control, air flow of the car, and possibly affecting the sensors which then could be another ordeal with electrical issues. NISSAN WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TRANNY/POWER TRAIN > EXTEND THE WARRANTY OR FIND AND FIX THIS ISSUE I bought the car in 2018 with less than 20,000 miles and have done regular maintenance, new tires every year, oils changes, replacing air filters and wipers, replacing brake pads, ive had to replace the brake booster already and flushed the whole brake system because of this acceleration issue I figured the brakes causing the lag but this car is just falling apart these past 2 years, rust on the trunk near the silver trim has caused the trunk to open on its own and the back-up camera feels like its slowly going out, the headlights are too dim to drive at night(even the brights now are dim), the rear passenger window just dropped down one day off the roller and I can't get the window back up and stay on the roller. Problem after Problem. Safety concern after safety concern.

CVT transmission is shot. Nissan says they have "fulfilled their obligation" due to the warranty being out of date. Had a lifetime powertrain warranty with the dealership which was shut down by SOS police. Now no one is responsible for this transmission which Nissan knows is a terrible product. Lasted 6 years. There should be a recall on all of these transmissions which seem to affect the Altimas the most.

My 2015 Nissan Altima SV begin losing power and revving up and RPMs but would not move. When I exited the interstate to see what was going on because at that time the check engine light had also come on I came to the stop sign and when I proceeded to move forward to find somewhere safe to park the vehicle would not go but the accelerator but the RPMs went up. Putting my wife's life and myself in danger of uncommon traffic because vehicle barely wanted to move I had the vehicle towed to Nissan dealership in the following morning the service manager called me and let me know that they checked out the vehicle and that it was a transmission and also the speed control sensor he said there was no recalls on it but did have three six and 12 month financing so that they can continue to do the repairs. I am currently just paid the vehicle off two weeks ago and I'm frustrated that this has happened. This was the third time this has happened to this vehicle the first two times my wife had to pull over waited close to an hour as vehicle cool down and then proceeded to continue home which was fine but these are happening every two to three months now.

I was driving on the Chicago skyway toll bridge when my transmission went out in my 2015 nissan altima with 103k miles on it. I had it towed to the dealership where thru quoted me 5500 for a new transmission because of cvt failure. I take extra care of my vehicle and even pay for the premium oil change EVERY single time. Cvt transmission should be banned from US roads.

My engine service light is on and I have scanned with diagnostics. The code P0101, C119A, and C1155 with the most likely solution is to reprogram the power train control module(PCM).

Transmission went out with no warning. Ran fine the night before, the next morning I couldn't go anywhere. Shop has confirmed by code that is being thrown the transmission has went out, $2900 fix.

Nissan refused to pay for transmission of $5,221.38 replacement they should have replaced it due to their crappy cvt design and I have made multiple phone calls and they said we can’t help you.

This car only had 136,000 miles. The transmission failed. Research shows this version of Nissan has issues with its CVT transmission. The transmission has to be fully replaced by a new transmission costing upwards of $5,000. Based on my research multiple Nissan cars with CVT transmissions are having issues and costing owners money.

Transmission is out and the car only has 139,000 miles on it. I'm told the cost to replace the transmission is $4,000 on average. I'm told that mechanics are seeing major issues with the CVT transmission. What can be done to help consumers with this issue during these troubling economic times?

Moments car will not accelerate after stepping on gas pedal till one completely steps on it all the way down after coming to a stop. Car will roll first then jerk to accelerate after pressing gas pedal down fully. Notice the issue happens when car gets too hot from frequent stops. Had transmission flushed and it solved the issue for a bit but began again recently.

My teenage daughter drives this car daily and last week upon traveling to work on the highway the RPMs jumped and her car lost acceleration and she wasn’t able to pick the speed back up. She was losing power. The car was shuddering when she was accelerating and taking off and it was jerking with gear shifting. She was almost slammed into from behind when this happened. Dealership is telling us we need a new transmission. We purchased the car in 2016 and Jan 2017 we had the transmission computer module reprogrammed at the dealership, per Nissan recommendation.

Car was misfiring for a while. Got spark plugs and coils changed. Two days after they were changed car still kept misfiring and jerking and wouldn’t change from the first gear and takes a minute to accelerate after a complete stop. Has white smoke coming from the muffler. Two days ago it stalled to start and would not drive or reverse. Dash board keeps saying system malfunction and LDW (lane departure warning) and BSW (blindspot warning) and check engine light stays on.

While driving on the highway at a speed around 65 mph, the traffic suddely stopped ahead, so hard braking was performed and the car came to a complete stop, and afterwards the vehicle didn't respond to any gas pedal input for few seconds. I took the vehicle to my local Nissan dealership for check up, but they claim the vehicle drives normal. Knowing that this generation of Nissan Altimas has defective transmissions and a class action lawsuit was settled with an extension of transmission warranty for 2 years or 24,000 miles. Thank you

I was in turning lane and when traffic cleared enough to turn I pushed gas, and nothing happened it was just idle, no rpm, no movement let go of gas pushed again barely moved and then didn’t go anywhere. Oncoming traffic at that point was approaching then it engaged and was fine! It did it two more times as I was sitting at light and once while just driving

I THINK I GOT SOLD A LEMON. EVER CAR ME OR EVERYONE I KNOW HAD WENT UNTIL EASILY 200-250K MILES BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION WENT ON OLDER VEHICLES; NOW A "NEWER" VEHICLE GOES OUT UNDER 100K? THAT'S WHY THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT FOR THIS AND I REALLY WISH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN ON IT BECAUSE NOW I'M OUT THE COST OF REPAIRS, I CAN'T DO MY JOB WITHOUT A CAR, AND I'M STUCK WITH THE BILL FOR A CAR THAT DOESN'T WORK SO I'M JUST OUT THAT MONEY.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL BECAUSE IT IS OVER 84,000 MILES

DRIVING DOWN THE US23/119 INTERSTATE NEAR PIKEVILLE, KY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED DECELERATING FROM 60 MPH AND WOULD NO LONGER ALLOW ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE SPEED KEPT DECREASING UNTIL IT WAS GOING LESS THAN 20 MPH AND TH DRIVER HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A TOW TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THE DANGER WAS IT OCCURRED SO SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH NO WARNING AND VEHICLES EASILY COULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH OUR VEHICLE. UPON LEARNING OF THE REPAIR NEEDED I SEARCHED FOR OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN ALTIMA. I FOUND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT FOR 2013-16 VEHICLES DUE TO FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THE SUIT SETTLED WITH AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY BY 24 MONTHS OR 24,000 MILES. HOWEVER, THIS RESOLUTION, IN MY OPINION, IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO PROTECT THE CONSUMERS FROM PAYING OFTEN IN EXCESS OF $3000 FOR A REPAIR AND THE RISK OF LIFE WHILE DRIVING A KNOWN FAULTY PRODUCT. NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO INCREASE THE WARRANTY PERIOD TO BE MORE TIED TO THE LIFE OF A TRANSMISSION AND PROTECT CONSUMERS OF POTENTIAL INJURIES DUE TO THEIR KNOWN FAULTY PRODUCT.

THE VEHICLE HAS LITTLE TO NO RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, OR EVEN PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IT WILL SOMETIMES ENGAGE AFTER PUTTING THE CAR BACK INTO PARK, AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. OTHER TIMES IT WILL VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATE TAKING AS MUCH AS 30 SECONDS TO INCREASE 10 MPH. I DID SOME BASIC INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY NISSAN VEHICLES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS HAVE ISSUES, AND SUBSEQUENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER, WITH 102K MILES. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAULTY CVT, AND INDICATED THAT MY SPECIFIC MODEL DOES NOT HAVE ITS TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 120K MILES LIKE OTHER VEHICLES, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WARRANTY IS ONLY VALID UP TO 84K MILES. I ASKED FOR DOCUMENTATION AS I COULD NOT FIND ANY ON THE WEB DESIGNATING THIS NEW 84K MILE LIMITATION, THEY EMAILED ME AN IMAGE OF A SERVICE BULLETIN INDICATING 84K MILES AS THE LIMITATION WHERE NISSAN ACCEPTS LIABILITY FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AND THEN HAVE NOTHING AFTER YOU HAVE PULLED INTO TRAFFIC. LUCKILY, I HAVE NOT BEEN HIT WHILE ENTERING OR TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC. SO IT HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION, ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, BOTH TURNING AND GOING STRAIGHT. *TR

I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA N I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 69K MILES AND IT BARELY HAS 101K MILES N MY TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP BUT SINCE IT?S PAST 89K THEY SAID THE RECALL IN NO GOOD. *TR

CAR WILL FREQUENTLY DELAY MOVING FORWARD FROM A STOP WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. IT TAKE ABOUT 5 SECONDS FOR IT TO RESPOND. ALSO THE CAR DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS FOR THE CAR TO SHIFT TO STOP THE RPMS FROM REVVING TOO HIGH. THIS WILL OCCURS WHEN TRYING TO GAIN SPEED FROM A STOP. THESE ARE BOTH SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE MY CARS REACTIONARY TIME IS DELAYED OR IMPAIRED. *TR

I CONTACTED THE CLAY COOLEY DEALERSHIP IN DALLAS FOUND AT 39690 LYNDON B JOHNSON FWY SOUTH, DALLAS, TX 75237 ON MAY 1ST, 20202 VIA CHAT FOR AN AIRBAG SERVICE RECALL. AFTER OVER A MONTH CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ONE PHONE CALL OR EMAIL FROM CLAY COOLEY NISSAN. DURING THIS TIME, I SPOKE WITH FOUR (4) DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVES OVER THE CHAT ABOUT THE NEED TO SCHEDULE AN AIRBAG SERVICE RECALL. AFTER THE SECOND REPRESENTATIVE IN A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS, ALL REPRESENTATIVES APOLOGIZED FOR NO ONE CONTACTING ME ABOUT THE ISSUE AND ASSURED A SPECIALIST WOULD CONTACTED ME SOON. TODAY IS 5/31 AND I'M STILL WAITING ON THE PHONE CALL OR EMAIL. I'M ATTACHING THE COPY OF ALL CHAT WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES.

Mileage: 48,000

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR WILL SHAKE A LITTLE BIT AND THEN WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE THROUGH A LIGHT THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP AND THE CAR WILL JUST SIT THERE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL KICK IN AND THERE WILL BE A JERK AND OFF I GO. THIS HAPPENS WAY TOO OFTEN. THIS HAPPENS ALOT. YOUR ENTRIES ONLY HAVE PLACE FOR 1 DATE. BEDN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

Mileage: 95,000

WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM THE START. HAS A FEW SECOND DELAY BEFORE ACCELERATION OCCURS. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND NEED TO START ACCELERATING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT WHILE AT A RED LIGHT.

Mileage: 130,000

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. IT RAINED AND THE WATER FLOODED IN THROUGH SOME DRAIN. NOW THE VEHICLE HAD 2 INCHES OF WATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, FRONT AND BACK. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ARE NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY. THE VEHICLE IS DEVELOPING MOLD AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IT IS NOT SAFE TO SIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IS A MAJOR HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS MANUFACTURING ISSUE BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR REPAIRS SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

Mileage: 63,940

THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS IDLING HIGH WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT. WITHOUT REALIZING IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, THE CAR WOULD JERK WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. AS THE CAR WAS DRIVING TLAND WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS IT WOULD IDLE TO THE TOP AND WHEN IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT WOULD JERK INTO GEAR AND TAKE OUT. EVENTUALLY IT WOULD STALL AT 2ND GEAR AMD OF I WAS CROSSING TRAFFIC OR TURNING A CORNER IT WOULD STALL FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN KICK INTO HIGH GEAR WITH A HARD JERK.

Mileage: 77,000

TRANSMISSION STUTTERS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON HIGHWAYS AND REGULAR STREET DRIVING. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED.

Mileage: 100,450

I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE THE ACCELERATION PEDAL THERE IS SOMETIMES AN EXTENDED DELAY AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALWAYS, BUT I HAVE READ THAT ALOT PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE CAUSE. PERSONALLY, AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, TURNING OFF AND TURNING ON THE CAR SEEMS TO ALLOW IT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. MY SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE WITH THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN A TWO WEEK SPAN. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED DOWN ON A REGULAR TWO WAY ROADWAY. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, AND THE RPMS WOULD JUST GO UP. THIS SAME EXPERIENCE HAPPENED ANOTHER TIME AS WELL. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT AS A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR SOME PROGRAMMING ON THIS CVT TRANSMISSION, AS THIS COULD BE A VERY POTENTIALLY BAD RISK, ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE CAN RESULT IN MAJOR ACCIDENTS/DEATHS.

Mileage: 40,000

P17F1 CVT JUDDER CODE...THERE ARE RECALLS ON V6 NISSAN ALTIMAS FROM 2015, BUT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE 4 CYLINDER MODELS, YET THE CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. MOST LIKELY THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED REPLACED. VERY COSTLY FOR A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE ($3500 FROM NON-DEALER, $4000 - $5000 DEALER ESTIMATE). DEALER CHARGES $140 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. TRANSMISSION COMPANY I SPOKE WITH SAID THIS WAS THE 4TH ALTIMA HE HAD SEEN THIS WEEK WITH THE SAME ISSUE....TYPICALLY HAPPENS BETWEEN 100,000 - 120,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE HAS 111,000 MILES.

Mileage: 38,074

PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2016 WITH 22,000 MILES. AT THE 2ND OIL CHANGE, NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID IT NEEDED THE CVT REPROGRAMMED. FROM THAT POINT UNTIL NOW, I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT JUDDERING, SHUDDERING, DELAYED ACCELERATION, AND JUST NOT GOING WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED BEFORE BEING COMPLETELY DISABLED, IT LEFT ME STRANDED ON AN INTERSTATE RAMP MERGING INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, THE CAR JUST WOULD NO GO. IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS STARTING OFF IN 3RD GEAR, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS! WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, BUT IT WOULD COST ME $200 FOR A DIAGNOSIS SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOW, MY CAR HAS 140K MILES AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THEY STILL WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE MULTIPLE TSB'S ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA 4-CYLINDER CVT, WHICH MY CAR IS, AND THEY'VE TOLD ME THAT NONE OF THEM APPLY TO MY CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AFFECTING MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS!

Mileage: 140,000

BOUGHT MY ALTIMA USED WITH 60K MILES. AT 80K IT STARTED EXHIBITING A DELAYED ACCELERATION FROM TOTAL STOP AFTER SOME WARMUP PERIOD. WITH 106K MILES, AFTER WARMUP, IT NOW ALWAYS HAS DELAYED ACCELERATION FROM ANY COMPLETE STOP. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS NO EFFECT UNTIL 80% DEPRESSED THEN IT STARTS LIKE ITS IN 3RD GEAR. SCARY IF TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC. DEALER SAYS ITS A FAULTY SOLENOID IN THE TRANSMISSION. ON LINE COMPLAINTS ACROSS SEVERAL MODELS ARE PREVALENT.

Mileage: 106,000

WHEN DRIVING IN HOT WEATHER OR A LONG DISTANCE (60+MILES) ON STREETS AND/OR HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. STOPPING IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT OR EVEN AFTER HAVING TO DO AN EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL 5-10 SECONDS HAVE PASSED WITH THE ACCELERATION PEDAL PRESSED. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED NUMEROUS CLOSE REAR END ACCIDENTS JUST TO MYSELF. A NORMAL DAY OF DRIVING TURNS INTO A GUESSING GAME IF I WILL BE REAR ENDED DUE TO THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. MANY 2013+ NISSAN OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND NISSAN OF AMERICA REFUSES TO RECALL THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. AFTER THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTS ACCELERATING, RATHER HARD DUE TO HAVING TO HOLD THE ACCELERATION PEDAL TO MAX FOR IT TO MOVE, IT LOSES POWER WHEN IT SHIFTS TO THE NEXT GEAR. RPM FALLS UNDER THE OPTIMAL RPM FOR THE GIVEN SPEED AND FEELS LIKE YOU GO FROM 1ST GEAR TO 4TH GEAR.

Mileage: 78,000

MY CAR STARTS TO SHUDDER AND SOUND LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL. I WAS TURNING INTO A STORE AND IT STALLED, BUT IT THEN KICKED INTO DRIVE SO I COULD MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY A REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION PERSON AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT BACK TO NISSAN BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RECALLS OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I CALLED AND LONG STORY SHORT, I WAS TOLD IT HAS NO WARRANTY DUE TO BEING OVER THE MILEAGE AND THERE AREN'T RECALLS. I HAVE CHECKED AND SEE SOME COMPLAINTS FILED BACK OCTOBER OF 2018. MINE IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. I SEE IT WAS SOME OF THE MODELS; HOWEVER, IF ALL OF THESE CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, THE WARRANTY SHOULD BE EXTENDED SO THEY CAN BE REPAIRED.

Mileage: 102,264

HAVE SHUDDERING OF THE CAR WHEN DRIVING UP TO 40 MPH. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP (WHERE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED) AND DIAGNOSTICS DETERMINED A "BAD" TRANSMISSION WITH IDENTIFIED "JUDDER" CODE. HOWEVER, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BY NISSAN TO ADDRESS TO THIS ISSUE DOES NOT CURRENTLY EXTEND TO 6 CYLINDERS, OF WHICH MINE IS. I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS, AS MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS STATED IN BULLETIN NTB16-085 AND NTB15-015G.

Mileage: 74,107

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE SINCE 25K MILES. THE CAR REVS AND LOSES SPEED. SOMETIMES I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND IT WILL NOT GO FOR 2-5 SECOMDS. RECENTLY GOING UP A HILL THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. TURNING THE CAR OFF CAN "CURE" THE SYMPTOM UNTIL IT RANDOMLY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS DIFFICULT DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, OR DECIDING TO MAKE LEFT TURNS BECAUSE I CAN NOT DEPEND ON ACCELERATION

Mileage: 25,000

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE NO MATTER HOW FAR PUT MY FOOT DOWN ON THE PEDAL IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS EXTREAMLY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTION IN VERY BUSY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. I WOULD SAY I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THIS SITUATION, BUT THE DRIVERS COMING THE OTHER WAY SAW I WAS HAVING. A PROBLEM AND SLOWED DOWN SO THEY WOULD NOT HIT ME.

Mileage: 60,000

WHILE WAITING TO TURN LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION FOR A BREAK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES PAUSE FOR 2-3 SECONDS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THIS LEAVES ME VULNERABLE TO AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT FINALLY KICKS IN AND STARTS MOVING. WHEN HAVING TO JUDGE AND MAKE CRUCIAL DECISIONS WHILE DRIVING IS COMPLICATED BY A CAR THAT DOESN'T MOVE WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO I TRULY FEEL IT'S LITERALLY 'AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.' I ALSO DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE IT'S NOT EVERY TIME, SO I HAVE NO WAY TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO MY DECISION MAKING WHILE DRIVING. NEITHER I WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR DO I WANT TO PUT SOMEONE ELSE AT RISK.

I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 38,500 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT AT 31,000 MILES. ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND RECENTLY TAKEN A TRIP TO VIRGINIA.WE WERE LEAVING THE LAST DAY AND WE CAME UP TO THE FIRST LIGHT AWAY FROM THE PLACE WE WERE STAYING AT. AS I CAME UP TO THE LIGHT MY CAR HAD JERKED REALLY HARD SLOWING DOWN AND THE RPMS WENT WAY UP. I DIDN'T REALLY THINK THAT WAS WEIRD AS IT HAS DONE THAT BEFORE ON MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS AND NOTHING HAD HAPPENED FOR A SOLID 10 SECONDS IT WOULD ONLY REV UP TO 2 AND WOULDN'T GO PAST 10 MILES PER HOUR. AS THIS LIGHT WAS FAST AND IT WAS TURNING YELLOW AS SOON AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH IT THE PEOPLE WERE HONKING BEHIND ME AS MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I PULLED OVER AND CUT MY CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I STARTED OUT AGAIN AND IT HAD A HARD TIME ACCELERATING AND I PULLED OVER AGAIN. AT THIS POINT NO LIGHTS CAME ON OR ANYTHING. I THOUGHT MY CAR JUST LEFT US STRANDED IN VIRGINIA. I TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN AND STARTED OUT AND IT WAS DRIVING NORMAL. I FIND THIS UNSAFE BECAUSE CARS AT THE LIGHT COULD HAVE STARTED TO COME THROUGH MY MY CAR IS JUST TEETERING ALONG THROUGH THE FAST LIGHT

MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON A HIGHWAY. IT ONLY HAS 30K ON IT. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN 2 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. JULY 21, 2019, IT WAS TOWED AGAIN WHILE I WAS ON THE LONG TRIP. OVERALL, IT HAPPENED 10 TIMES. CAR FALLS ON ITS FACE. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HADS TO TOW IT 2 TIMES ALREADY. THE OTHER TIMES I HAD TO WAIT 30 MIN OR SO. WHEN ON HIGHWAY YOU GO 65, IT DROPS TO 40, THEN 20; IT SPUTTERS AND THEN YOU HAVE TO STOP. MY NISSAN ALTIMA WAS MOVING WHEN THE ACCELERATION GAVE UP NO MATTER HOW STRONG YOU PUSH THE PEDAL. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOO. I WAS IN LOGANDALE NEVADA. TURNED THE CAR OFF. THEN WAITED. AFTER 15 MIN, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT BARELY AT 20 MIN PER HOUR ON HIGHWAY 15 COMING FROM LAS VEGAS TO MOAPA PAIUTE TRAVEL PLAZA GAS STATION. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS BECAUSE OTHER CARD=S DO NOT KJNOW THAT YOU HAVE ACCELERATION FAILURE AND THEY DRIVE BEHIND YOU AT 60-70 MILES PER HOUR AND IT CAN BE VERY SCARY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS THE ACCELERATION DOES NOT WORK AND CAR GOERS EVENTUALLY TO 0 MILES PER HOUR NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

WITH NO MECHANICAL WARNING OF ANY TYPE (WARNING LIGHTS OR OVERALL VEHICLE PERFORMANCE), MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA HAD THE CVT (TRANSMISSION) FAIL. THE CAR STARTING TO SPUTTER AND ACT UP WHILE DRIVING IT, NO WARNING INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES STILL, AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. STOPPING ALL FORWARD MOTION OF THE CAR. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN 2.4L ENGINES WITH CVT, NO MATTER THE MODEL OF VEHICLE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON A MULTIPLE LANE HIGHWAY GOING 70-80 MPH AT THE TIME OF FAILURE AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN! HAD I BEEN DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC LANE, PUTTING MY LIFE, ALONG WITH MY PASSENGERS LIVES, IN DANGER. IN SPEAKING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY SEE THIS FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES IN A WEEK. HAD MY 16 YEAR OLD, NEW DRIVER, BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, WE COULD BE DEALING WITH AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION. THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN IS KNOWINGLY INSTALLING IN THEIR VEHICLES EVEN TODAY. NISSAN DID EXTEND THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY FOR MULTIPLE MODELS FROM 2003-2010; HOWEVER THE PROBLEM WITH THE CVT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED EVEN BY 2015.

MY CAR KEPT CUTTING OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT GIVES NO WARNING ON WHEN IT GOING TO TURN OFF. VERY DANGEROUS CAN GET A PERSON KILL WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

I PURCHASED A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 SV IN NOVEMBER 2, FROM QUEENS AUTO MALL IN QUEENS, NY. 3 WEEKS LATER THE CAR WOULD NOT GO EVEN IF I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT AND HAD ME PAY FOR THE NEW SPARK PLUGS. HERE I AM 3 MONTHS LATER AND I HAD TO FIX THE TPMS. THE. DRIVING THE CAR A FEW TIMES LONG DISTANCE. THIS IS WHAT STARTED HAPPENING: STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, I WOULD PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN IT WOULD KICK IN AND ACCELERATE. I WENT TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO PASS 10 MILES AN HOUR WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE RPM WAS RACING BETWEEN 1.5-3 RPM. THIS WOULD STOP ONCE I PRESSED THE BRAKES. IT STARTED MAKING A RACING NOISE WITH NO GAS POWER, THEN IT WOULD KICK IN AGAIN. I PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF THE CAR, AND RE-STARTED. THE CAR WAS "NORMAL" AGAIN. I LET IT SIT FOR THREE HOURS BEFORE DRIVING HOME. AND IT STARTED MAKING THE NOISE AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $2,000 DOLLARS. HE ALSO SAID THAT HIS SHOP HAS BEEN FIXING THIS ISSUES ON MANY NISSAN AND THAT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH NISSAN. ALSO ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY AND DO. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT, BUT LOOKING UP AND READING CARCOMPLAINTS.COM I SEE THIS ISSUE IS HUGE AND NISSAN SHOULD DO A RECALL. NOT EVERYONE HAS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO KEEP PAYING FOR THE SAME ISSUE MONTH AFTER MONTH.

I JUST CALLED NISSAN. ON JUNE 8 18 I TOOK MY CAR TO CHANDLER NISSAN FOR PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION. THEY SAID IT HAD A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION, CHECKED IT AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I RECEIVED A QUOTE ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHILE THERE. I LATER CALLED AND EMAILED TO EXTEND MY WARRANTY BUT KEPT GETTING THE RUN AROUND. FAST FORWARD TO THIS WEEKEND, GETTING ON THE FREEWAY NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. RPM JUST THROUGH THE ROOF. ITS DONE THAT A FEW TIMES NOW, SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT (AFTER INSPECTION) IT WOULD LAG TO ACCELERATE JUST NOT TOTALLY LIKE IT DID NOW. I'M A GIRL AND THOUGHT THAT WAS NORMAL IT JUST DIDN'T PICK UP AND GO AND WHINED A LITTLE. TODAYS MILES = 61850. CALLED NISSAN, THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK TO ME... THE CAR HAD 57468 MILES AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE OTHER ISSUE WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO, BEFORE I HIT 60K THE SIDE AIRBAG ALERT WENT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT DISAPPEARED. TOOK IT TO MIDWAY NISSAN AND THEY SAID COULD BE A FAULTY SENSOR OR COULD BE A DEFECT IN THE AIRBAG BUT ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY QUOTED $1400 TO FIX THAT. I FORGOT TO TELL THE NISSAN REP THAT WHEN I CALLED BUT I WILL DO SO WHEN THEY CALL ME BACK. HOPING THEY WILL BE HELPFUL. I WILL UPDATE AS I GET MORE INFO.

A FEW WEEKS AGO MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AND PRESSED ON THE GAS. I HAD TO ALMOST FLOOR IT FOR IT TO EVEN GO AND THEN IT WOULD ACCELERATE SLOWLY. I GOT IT LOOKED AT AND IT DROVE FINE AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN A FEW DAYS AGO IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN, EVERY STOP I MADE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL I PRESSED ON THE GAS HARD THEN IT SLOWLY STARTED MOVING, ONLY THIS TIME THE RPM WENT CRAZY AND IT STARTED SHUTTING DOWN AND WOULDN'T GO AT ALL, IT COMPLETELY STALLED. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT SO CALLED THE TOW TRUCK. ONCE THE TOW TRUCK GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT STARTED AND WORKED FINE AGAIN. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID IT MAY BE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST 1500$ IF THAT IS ALL IT IS IF THEY GO IN AND IT DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM THEN I WILL NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID MY WARRANTY SHOULD COVER IT BUT MAY NOT COVER ALL OF IT. MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD IT SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. WHEN I FELT THE CAR DOING THE SAME THING I TOOK THE BACK ROADS INSTEAD OF THE FREEWAY. IMAGINE IF MY CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF FREEWAY OR IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND ME AND HIT ME BECAUSE IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. NO ENGINE LIGHT AND NO WARNING OF ANY KIND CAME ON.

I KEEP READING THE SAME EXACT STORY AS MINE, YET NO RECALLS OR HELP FOR THIS PROBLEM ON SO MANY NISSAN ALTIMAS. SITTING STILL AT A REDLIGHT, LIGHT TURNS GREEN, YOUR FOOT IS ON ACCELERATOR BUT NOTHING HAPPENS FOR FIVE TO TEN SECONDS. FINALLY THE ENGINE BEGINS TO REV. EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN TURNING IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. CAN ALSO HAPPEN WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TACHOMETER RACES, ENGINE RACES, AND WONT COME DOWN UNTIL YOU PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TURN IT BACK ON. THIS RESETS SOMETHING AND EVERYTHING IS OKAY THEN. TURNING IT BACK ON RESETS THE PROBLEM SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY A SIMPLE ISSUE BUT IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. MY WHOLE FAMILY HAS COME CLOSE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF BEING IN A SERIOUS WRECK DUE TO THIS PERSISTENT PROBLEM. I'M SHOCKED THAT NISSAN HASN'T HAD A RECALL ON THIS. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE IS A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE VALVE BODY BE REPLACED, BUT THIS IS NOT IN EFFECT FOR MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER. YOU ASKED BELOW WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I HAD THE VEHICLE FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. SPORADICALLY, MAYBE ONCE EVERY TWO TO THREE WEEKS.

TOOK MY NISSAN TO JEFF WYLER KINGS NISSAN IN CINCINNATI, OHIO ON OCTOBER 16TH AFTER I WAS MADE AWARE OF A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPROGRAM CVT TRANSMISSION. PICKED UP CAR THAT AFTERNOON DROVE IT REST OF DAY AND THE NEXT DAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $4200. MY CAR IS ALMOST 4 YRS OLD WITH 84,000 MILES ON IT. THE TECH SAID THE REASON FOR THE REPROGRAMMING WAS TO PICK UP ON THE ISSUES IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TECH TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR MONTHS AND EVEN A YEAR OR SO AND THE COMPUTER NOT THROW THE ENGINE CODE BECAUSE OF EITHER FAULTY TRANSMISSION OR TRANSMISSION PROGRAM. I JUST FEEL ITS EXTREMELY FISHY THAT AFTER THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION THE VERY NEXT DAY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND HAVE A CASE # OR CA # OF 33093284 AND AM ASKING NISSAN TO COVER THE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY RPM GAUGE RACED OVERV7000 THEN DROPPED TO 0 AND I LOST ALL ABILITY TO CONTROL THE TRANSMISSION. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTERWARDS. CALLED NISSAN AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT IS COMMON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WITH NO WARNING.?NICE HAZARD AS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AND NISSAN SAID SINCE IT HAD 115K MILES NOTHING THEY WOULD DO ABOUT IT

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY, WHEN I ENCOUNTER A HILL OR ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE TO MAINTAIN SPEED THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND BUT INSTEAD HESITATES AND STARTS TO SLOW. ONLY WITH A SECOND OR THIRD APPLICATION OF PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL DOES THE VEHICLE START TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. ALSO, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE FROM A SHOPPING CENTER THAT I FREQUENT I HAVE TO CROSS TWO LANES OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC TO ENTER THE THIRD LANE HIGHWAY ENTRANCE. FROM A STANDING FULL STOP I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ADVANCES TWO OR THREE FEET AND THEN COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL PRODUCES NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, THE GEARSHIFT LEVER IS IN DRIVE BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. APPROACHING HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC IS NOW SWERVING TO AVOID MY STOPPED VEHICLE. THIS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR RESOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM. ON THE LAST OCCASION THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT FOR FOUR DAYS AND I GAVE PERMISSION TO THE TECHNICIAN TO OPERATE THE CAR AT WILL TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. NO PROBLEM COULD BE DETECTED. THE VEHICLE HAS 34,000 ON IT. I BELIEVE OPERATING THIS CAR IN THE PRESENT CONDITION PUTS ME AT GREAT RISK. IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED WHILE IT STILL UNDER WARRENTY.

I OWN 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA, I WANT NHTSA TO BE AWARE OF SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I WAS ON 95 SOUTH IN WASHINGTON DC WHEN MY VEHICLE HESITATED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AS I PUSHED MY GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR MY CAR WOULD SLIGHTLY MOVE FORWARD. WHEN I WAS TRYING TO MOVE TO THE FAR RIGHT SHOULDER, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY MACK TRUCK. MY CAR WAS BARELY MOVES. THE ALMOST CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE MY LIFE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY 8/23/2018 ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS AT STOP LIGHT I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AND MY VEHICLE BARELY MOVED. I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALER THAT IT CVT TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE GETTING A DOZEN 2015 NISSAN A WEEK WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THIS IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO FIX.

CAR SHUDDERS AT LOW RPM ACCELERATION AND SOMETIMES STALLS WHEN TURNING ON TO A BUSY STREET. TOLD BY DEALER TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAS 46000 MILES AND A BRANDED TITLE. CAR RESTORED TO PERFECT CONDITION AFTER MINOR ACCIDENT. NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FURTHER WARRANTY DUE TO THE BRANDED TITLE. THE REASON FOR COMPLAINT IS THAT THERE IS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE POWERTRAIN FOR UP TO 60,000 MILES REGARDLESS OF THE EXTENDED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT NISSAN HAS GRANTED TO OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM.

GREETINGS, I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT TO NOTIFY THE NHTSA OF A DEADLY PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE NISSAN ALTIMA! I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WHERE THE VEHICLE EITHER TURNS OFF, STUTTERS, OR AND HESITATES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THIS HESITATION IS DEADLY BECAUSE WHEN PULLING OUT OR MERGING ON TO A HIGHWAY THERE IS LOSS OF POWER AND THIS WILL CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT ACCELERATING AS EXPECTED. IN FACT, THIS ISSUE IS SO PREVALENT THAT NISAAN REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM). THIS HALF MEASURE IS LITTLE TOO LITTLE TOO LATE AS TRANSMISSION DAMAGE HAS ALREADY OCCURRED AND IT LEADS TO PREMATURE FAILURE. THIS FAILURE LEADS TO THE VEHICLE BEING A HAZARD IN TRAFFIC. I PERSONALLY HAVE DOZENS OF ACCOUNTS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. THE MOST RECENT WAS ON 12/11/17 WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET WHEN THE CAR SIMPLY LOST POWER AND DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. A CAR BEHIND SWERVED EXCESSIVELY TO AVOID HITTING ME AND IN DOING ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER MOTORIST! THE CAR HAD TO BE PUSHED INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND THIS RATHER DUBIOUS AS THE VEHICLE IS A 2015. I BEGAN INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE FURTHER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMLY PREVALENT WITH THIS MODEL. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF INCIDENTS OF OWNERS HAVING AN EXPERIENCE AKIN TO MINE. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS YET TO ADMIT FAULT. THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE TCM IS A CLEAR INDICATION NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IS ATTEMPTING TO REMEDY IT BY ELIMINATING CERTAIN SHIFT POINTS; HOWEVER, IT IS INADEQUATE AND THE DAMAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. THE LIVES OF PEOPLE ARE AT STAKE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION! IS IT JUST OF MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE LOSS OF LIFE WILL OCCUR BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION! THANK YOU!

I OWN A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA - AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN I95 SOUTH IN WASHINGTON DC, THE CAR STARTING REVVING AND JERKING. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND WHILE DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR, IT BECAME VERY UNSAFE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - $4300 AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE OF 79K MILES ON THE CAR. I CHECKED ON-LINE AND THEIR SEEMS TO BE A TON OF CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH NISSAN, TO INCLUDE SOME CLASS ACTION SUITS. WHEN TALKING TO THE SERVICE REP HERE, HE SAID THEY SEE IT ALL THE TIME. I AM NOT SURE WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS. DRIVING A RELATIVELY NEW CAR (2 YEARS OLD) THAT STOPS / REVS / JERKS WITH OUT WARNING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING!

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN, WHEN I'M AT A LIGHT THAT THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 5-10 MPH AND I HAVE THE PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN IN TUSCALOOSA, AL ON 08/21/17 TO CORRECT THE CVT TRANSMISSION OPEN RECALL. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM DUE TO THEM NOT FINDING ANY CODES AND TEST DRIVING THE CAR.

ABOVE OR BELOW ITS FINE. IVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS OF OWNING IT AND THEY TELL ME ITS NORMAL. IN COLDER WEATHER ITS A LOT WORSE. YOU CAN PLAY WITH THE RPM AND EVERYTIME IT WILL VIBRATE AND YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL IT AT 2000 RPM. BUT BOTH DEALERS SAY THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING AND THAT THEY DON'T NOTICE IT. THAT WORRIES ME WHEN A 5 YEAR OLD ASKS ME WHAT THAT NOISE AND FEELING IS BUT A CERTIFIED MECHANIC CANT FIND THIS PROBLEM. ITS LOUD AND CLEARLY YOU CAN FEEL IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. ALL I WANT IS FOR IT TO BE FIXED. IF NOT I'M NEVER BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT. IVE HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS BRAND AND IVE OWNED A LOT OF BRANDS. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS AND SPEND MORE MONEY ON TRAINING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 YEARS THAT IVE OWNED THIS CAR.

I AGREE WITH OTHERS ABOUT NISSAN NEEDING TO REPURCHASE/COMPENSATE FOR ALL THE ISSUES.THIS VEHICLE FEELS VERY UNSAFE AND THEY JUST PUSH IT ALL OFF. THE POWER STEERING MAKES VARYING LOUD,ANNOYING,DISTRACTING, WHINING NOISES THE ENTIRE TIME YOU DRIVE IT. THE CAR HESITATES AND JERKS WHILE DRIVING OR TRYING TO DRIVE FROM A STOP WHICH FEELS VERY UNSAFE AND MAKES ME WORRY ABOUT BEING HIT. THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT ARE UNSAFE WITH THE 2015 ALTIMA AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ADMIT THEM AND CONSTANTLY SAYS "EVERYTHING IS NORMAL" OR 'ITS THE WAY THAT TRANSMISSION WORKS". A HUGE WASTE OF TIME AND ENERGY TRYING TO DEAL WITH NISSAN. THEY ALSO KEPT INSISTING TO ME THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON WHILE A GROWN ADULT WAS SEATED WAS "NORMAL" AS WELL UNTIL ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A RECALL...JUST TO SHOW HOW THEY LIE AND COVER EVERYTHING UP .I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2015 AND HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES SINCE. HAVE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES FOR THE ISSUES AS WELL AS HAVING A NISSAN TECH COME TO ASSESS BUT OF COURSE EVERYONE STICKS TOGETHER AND STATES IT "ALL NORMAL".THERE ARE ALSO PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT SAFETY ISSUES BUT VALUE ISSUES SUCH AS THE XM SERVICE THAT IS HORRIBLE BUT YOU PAY FOR AND THE CHEAP BUILD OF THE VEHICLE/PAINT.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. IN SEPT 2015 AT 25,000 MILES, WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY, THE CAR SLOW DOWN AS IF I WAS DRIVING IN A LOW GEAR. THE RPM WENT UP, BUT THE CAR IS MOVING VERY SLOW. I STOP THE CAR AND CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME TO STOP AND PARK THE CAR THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AFTER GIVING IT SERVAL MINS OF COOLING DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR THE SERVICE THE NEXT DAY, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR ANOTHER SIX OR SO MONTHS THEN THE SAME HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND AGAIN. COUPLE MONTHS LATER, THE CAR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE CAR IN, STILL NO PROBLEM WS FOUND. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T MIMIC THE PROBLEM AND ASKED THAT I CONTIUE TO DRIVE AND STOP AND PARK IF THE PROBLEM ARISE. I TOLD THE SUPERVISOR/MANAGER AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND IN A CAR THAT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BUT CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE CAR, BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH TRANSIMITION BECAUSE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I FELT THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS PROLONGING THE REAL PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE WARRANITY, AND I FELT THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE DISCOVER ONCE IT'S OUT OF THE WARRNITY COVERAGE. I HAVE TWO MAJOR CONCERNS: 1.

IN MY DRIVEWAY I PUT CAR IN PARK AND GOT OUT CLOSING DOOR. I THEN REALIZED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, SO I OPENED THE DOOR AND REACHED IN TO PUSH THE OFF BUTTON. THE CAR STARTED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE WITH ME CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DOOR AND BODY OF CAR. I WAS ALMOST RUN OVER. IT STOPPED BY HITTING INTO AN ISLAND OF TREES AND SHRUBS.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE 2015 FRONTIER IS PROBABLY GOING TO FAIL AFTER 50,000 MILES. MOST OF THE TIME IT WORKS, BUT ON OCCASION IT STUTTERS ON ACCELERATION FROM A STANDSTILL, OR VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY IN GENERAL. WHEN, NOT IF, THE TRANSMISSION FAILS IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN IT WAS EXPECTED TO.

CVT TRANSMISSION VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY IN INTERIOR (FLOORBOARDS, STEERING WHEEL, GAS PEDAL, AND AND ME) NOISE LEVEL EXTREMELY HIGH INSIDE CAR. DEALER AND NISSAN AMERICA SAY THEY WILL NOT FIX OR BUY BACK CAR. PURCHASED NEW IN SEPT 2014. HAD SAME CAR 2014 MODEL THAT HAD NO VIBRATION OR NOISE. DEALER HAD SEVEN TEST DRIVES AND ALL AGREE WITH ME, BUT NO ONE WOULD COMMIT TO SAYING THE CAR NEEDS TO BE FIXED - THEY SAY IT COULD BE DEFECTIVE OR COULD BE A DESIGN PROBLEM. EITHER WAY I AM STUCK!!! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYONE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA ON THE ROAD AND THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC SO IT WAS SORT OF STOP AND GO AND LOTS OF IDLING. EACH TIME I PRESSED ON THE GAS, IT SEEMS THE CAR HESITATED TO GO. AFTER I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I THEN DROVE ONTO INTERSTATE 85 IN GASTONIA, NORTH CAROLINA AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE DRIVE SHAFT ALSO STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD. THE CAR STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF AND THE CAR COASTED OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR STOPPED ON ME. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR TO GET DIRECTION ON WHAT TO DO AND THEY WOULDN'T SPEAK TO ME OR RETURN MY CALLS. I ENDED UP CALLING NISSAN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IN RE THE CAR. THE GUY ASKED FOR MY VIN # AND I GAVE IT TO HIM AND HE IMMEDIATELY ASKED IF MY CAR'S ENGINE STALLED ON ME. I ADVISED THAT IT DID IN THE MIDST OF MY DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN ON AN INTERSTATE. HE ADVISED THEY WOULD SEND A TOW TRUCK TO GET MY CAR BUT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING HE COULD DO FOR ME TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION AND I'D HAVE TO SPEAK WITH THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE A LOANER. THE DEALERSHIP ENDED UP DIAGNOSING THIS AS A BAD TRANSMISSION IN THIS BRAND NEW CAR. I WANTED TO KNOW HOW THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE GUY KNEW THAT THIS CAR HAD STALLED ON ME PRIOR TO ME EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRED IT ALSO ASKED ME IF I HAD HAD THIS PROBLEM 3 TIMES PRIOR. I HAD NOT. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT HAD 101 MILES ON IT AND I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAD PROBLEMS THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF AND THEY SOLD IT TO ME ANYWAY. I REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE FROM NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS B/C I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR AS IT WAS A NEW CAR WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION AND I DO NOT TRUST IT'S SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME THING AND THIS HAS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY. *JS
