Summary

Acceleration from stand still occasionally does not occur. This causes us to press harder on the acceleration pedal and suddenly the car accelerates with high RPM. There is no check engine light. This is particularly at risky when left side turns at traffic signals are made. The problem has not been reproduced but has happened occasionally and usually turning off the engine completely and restarting the car results in the resolution of the issue temporarily. Car has not been inspected by anyone so far.

Summary

I was on the highway taking my newborn and my 2 year old home when the car was not going very fast when I went up a hill. I wasn’t sure what the issue was so I proceeded to drive my car the next day. I was driving at towards and intersection and my car did not stop at a red light, at a 4 way intersection. At this point my car did not signal a check engine light so I had no idea what the issue was. I put my car in park at the nearest parking lot and my check engine light came on. My check engine light is on at only 99,000 miles. I had my transmission fluid flushed and changed, the vehicle was running completely fine with no issues, 2 days later it was running as if the transmission had no fluid in it. The Nissan dealership said that the vehicle had internal damage to the transmission.

Delayed acceleration issue. I am stopped at a light or in traffic and I press on the gas to go and it does nothing at all. This is occurring at various intervals...it just happens. I have been stopped to cross intersection and when light turns green, the car does not go at all for several seconds, 6-10 seconds. No warning lights are on. I have read this is a known problem for Nissan and there is no recall or action taken on their part. How many people have to be hurt or potentially killed before action is taken. I have taken it to the dealer and they cannot reproduce problem because it does not happen all the time and their is not error or warning code.

Summary

Starting at around 80k miles I noticed a bit of jerking and stalling while driving with no warning indicator and got it checked out 2 times and was told it was a battery issue and bought a new battery. After the battery replacement I noticed it was still continuing but I was not getting the transmission issue on the reader until one day I was completely stalled in traffic with my newborn baby and tried to floor the accelerator but was slowly moving that it triggered the check engine light and finally the transmission error came up on the reader. Nissan is fully aware of the ongoing issues with the CVT transmission and will not extend the warranty to cover their defective CVTs. The transmission has been replaced by my own extended warranty at the Nissan dealership but I am still experiencing the same jerking and slight stall when I accelerate.

Summary

I have had this 2016 Nissan Altima SR for the past 5 years (1st owner) and it just began giving me acceleration issues about 2 months ago. At random times, while at a stop, reversing, doing a u-turn or changing gears, I step on the accelerator and it will not move. I have pushed all the way down on the accelerator and it won't budge for about 10 seconds, until then, it will just throw itself at a really high speed. There is no warning or light on the dashboard stating something is wrong. It does it at random times. There have been numerous times were I have been put at risk of a car accident because of this issue. Once, I was at a green light waiting to make a left, and when I had a chance to turn before the oncoming cars, I went for it, only to have the accelerator not work and go REALLY slowly (as if it was on neutral). At that speed, I was midway and the oncoming car was honking at me as it was getting closer. I kept stepping on the accelerator and nothing would happen. Luckily, a few seconds later it threw itself to a really high speed and I was able to make it before the oncoming car hit me. I have taken it to the dealer, only to find out I would be charged $169 for a diagnostics test and even then they wouldn't guarantee anything because it doesn't have any kind of warning light on the dashboard. The dealer then stated it could possibly be the transmission or throttle body. How is it possible for me to waste so much money on something the dealer itself is so unsure of the results? How can they guarantee they can fix the issue without happening again and possibly getting into an accident? I have heard of other Altima owners who have been told it is the transmission and they change it, only to have the same problems all over again. This issue really needs to be looked at before it gets more serious and cause devastating accidents. Thankfully it has not done that to me on the fwy yet.

Summary

For the past two years I have been experiencing dim headlights. I have had them change twice and still cannot see 5 feet ahead of me. I was unaware that this could be a common problem with this model. Also, the passenger air light stays on even when no one is sitting in the seat. this problem started about six months ago. Now I think the transmission maybe starting to slip.

My would stall at every stop I made. Would barely pick up speed. My first experience with it was on the highway and I had to put my hazard lights on and turn my car on and off to get it on the side of the road. I then called a Nissan dealership to see what’s wrong but they told me I needed a whole new transmission Was just recently informed that transmissions are prone to fail online. I purchased this car in April 2020 it’s only September 2021. But most definitely there needs to be a recall I could’ve been hit seriously.

Summary

Upon arriving to my grandson's daycare, I applied by brake and put my car in park and suddenly my car accelerated at a fast speed. My car moved forward across an area that the children are usually playing in, but because it was raining they were inside. Thank God! I can't even imagine what would have happened. My car finally stopped because I was trying to avoid the daycare's shed, but hit the corner of the shed and this stopped the car. The air bag did not deploy as well. I am thankful to be alive and unharmed, but most thankful that no one else was harmed. My husband took photos of the brake marks on the pavement and grass and of the vehicle after collision with the shed and showing it was in park.

Summary

My problem: While i was leaving work returning to my apartment my car (2016 Nissan Altima S ~ 2.4L, 4 cylinder, 75k miles, Black) was operating fine nothing out of the ordinary. As I approached a stop sign and stop my car it was still acting normal. However, as i accelerated to take my turn i notice that my car wasn’t moving normal it didn’t accelerate pass 15 mph but the RPM was going up it went up to 5k RPM with no speed change it felt like i was on neutral. (No, I wasn’t in neutral) it was on D i even placed the car in Ds to see if the problem was only on drive but the same problem occurred on Ds. As soon as i noticed that the car wasn’t accelerating and after the person who was driving behind me got mad i moved my car to the break down lane. I powered cycled the car (turn it off and back on) and it was functioning correctly. My friend had the same problem occur to his car which is Answer to Question: 1)I don’t know which specific part is the problem. I do know this isn’t the first case the same problem occurred on a 2015 Nissan Altima S i have a 2016 Nissan Altima S. This happened to the other car a few months prior to the date of my incident which happened August 30, 2021 at approximately 5pm. Yes, it’s available for inspection upon request. 2)My safety was put at risk because I couldn’t accelerate properly to turn my car so I basically slowly cruised into traffic luckily i was able to steer to the side of the road. 3)No, it has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer. The problem is it happened suddenly with no warning of any problems. I only have 75k highway miles on the car with no lights, no accidents, only 5 years old and is in great shape. What makes it difficult to be reproduced is the fact that the problem randomly occurs and when the car goes through a power cycle the problem disappears and reoccurs randomly. 4)There were no warning lights and no problem prior to the car and it first occurred August 30, 2021 at approximately 5pm.

Summary

This vehicle is a 2016 Nissan Altima with only has 36,000 miles. When driving this vehicle and stopping at a stop sign or traffic light the vehicle will not accelerate for a 10-30 seconds. No engine code or check engine light. This has happened two times when my wife drove the car and one time when I drove it. My wife will not drive this car anymore because she does not feel safe in it. She fears she will be rear ended or hit trying to make a turn. I talked to my local Nissan dealer today 8/19/2021 while having the hood latch recall done. The dealership didn't know anything about this problem with this or other Altimas but said it could be the valve body in the transmission ( without looking at the car, just my conversation) MMMMMMM. The dealership said they would charge me $130.00 to do a diagnostic check but without a check engine light it would not show anything and of course the car was doing fine when I went to there. This problem is sporadic and you don't know when it will occur again and can be very dangerous. I have looked at chat forums on google and see this is a big problem with Nissan Altimas of this model year generation. Thank you for your time.

Summary

Car loses power while driving on highways or roads and had nearly cost me my life on occasion where the vehicle cannot complete a turn from loss of power and I cannot proceed and obstruct oncoming vehicle paths. It has also revved up out of the blue to 6000-7000 RPMs despite a holding steady pace on the gas pedal. The speed jolts and has nearly caused me to rear end unsuspecting vehicles. Sometimes the vehicle cannot accelerate and has NO POWER after coming to a full stop at a red light or stop sign. I have been unable to receive help for any of these issues despite many diagnoses and lots of money spent. And it was not made aware to me, an owner of a Nissan Altima vehicle that there is a known probability of failure with CVTs in use in Altima’s of my hear. That lack of effort and total disregard for the lives of customers in similar Nissan vehicles is absolutely disgraceful and unacceptable! Furthermore, they try to deny it and try to take zero fault. Nissan is denying fault for faulty CVT in my vehicle and made NO ATTEMPT to notify owners of affected NISSAN vehicles and is NOT rectifying the issue or admitting their lack of effort on making owners of affected Nissan vehicles aware of issues and threatening consumer wellbeing

Summary

After driving for a period of time (not too far, but more than just around the block) when I come to a stop at a stoplight or stop sign and try to accelerate again, there is a long delay of around 3-5 seconds and then my car will “launch”. I can push the pedal all the way to the floor and nothing happens. Then it will suddenly take off. This is a hazard while trying to turn out into traffic, if I would have to accelerate out of the way of a vehicle approaching me from any angle while at a stoplight or stop sign. Trying to cross intersections that only have 2 way stops, and for many other reasons that are pretty self explanatory. This sits very uneasy with me especially when my wife and child are riding with me. I brought this up to the dealer and they found no codes and could not recreate it, but did reprogram my ecm to most current programming per NTB13-054D. That cost $140 and did not fix my issue. It seems like to recreate the issue the car has to be driven for a little while (at lease 20-30 mins on the highway) before it begins acting up. It also seems like hot weather contributes to the issue as well.I drive an hour each way to work, so it pretty much acts up for me 2x a day since it has gotten warm out.

Summary

The CVT transmission in my 2016 Nissan Altima causes my vehicle to experience sudden shaking or jerking and to occasionally stall after a traffic stop while driving. I have been in near accidents based on this CVT issue as there is no way to anticipate when my vehicle will experience the aforementioned problems. I have taken my vehicle to an independent service center where technicians confirmed that the issue lies with my transmission. My vehicle was also inspected by my municipal vehicle inspection service which also flagged the problem. I have tried to contact Nissan USA to assist in the resolution of this issue but it has not been helpful in resolving the issue as I am outside the arbitrarily-set extended warranty period due to the vehicle's mileage. The Nissan Altima CVT transmission is a public safety emergency that needs to be fixed and I hope Nissan USA adequately and equitably addresses this problem. As a consumer who has previously only owned and operated Nissan Altimas, I am saddened by the company's inability to fully help consumers who are endangered by its faulty transmission and who may be a danger to others on the road due to this known issue.

On june 10,2021 i had to put my car in the shop bc the engine was running poorly. My car stalled on me at intersection and didnt want to pull. I was in panic thinking a car was going to hit me. Luckly i was able to get it to pull to the nearest vacant lot. I immediately stopped and let all moving traffic clear the way. Then i got my car to go and i had to gain enough speed to make it over the overpass without stalling again. When i finally got tje car home my husband had it put in shop tw next day. Mechanic hooked it up to a machine and the codes for transmission popped up. My life was at risk as i had no oter choice but to play rush and roulette. Li

Summary

2016 Nissan Altima, driving down highway and car would not accelerate, then jerked forward quite intensely. I felt like I did not have control of the car and feared I was going to hit someone or be hit by someone. I was finally able to get the car pulled over to the shoulder and turned it off. I thought it was a bad tank of gas. Let it sit for a bit, restarted, and made it home. We ran it this way for a couple of days so we could run the 'bad' gas out. Filled back up and added additive. Nope, same issue as soon as the car gets warmed up after about 8-10 miles. Took it to my local mechanic to make sure it was not the Mass Air Flow Sensor that I had to pay him to replace a few months back which cost me $600. That came back fine, but he informed me it was the transmission, and is a known issue with Nissans. I began researching, and boy is it ever a known issue all the way back to 2013. What baffles me is they are still using this same transmission, and one day, this will cause someone to get killed because they are allowed to continue doing this. I took it to Nissan Dealership, and opened a case with Nissan HQ Consumer Affairs. They confirmed CVT Transmission. I am at 88,500 miles, warranty out at 84,000. They offered to pay 80% for repair. Not acceptable when this should be a recall. Please have this recalled for goodness sake before someone is hurt. I did not have any warning light at all come on.

Summary

I WAS RIDING ON THE HIGHWAY HEADED TO MISSISSIPPI WITH MY 2 BABIES IN THE CAR AND GOT READY TO GO UP A SMALL HILL AND MY CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WOULDN'T GAS UP THE HILL. SO I PUT MY HAZARDS ON, PUT MY CAR IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON, IT THEN PROCEEDED TO GO UP THE HILL WITH SOME HESITATION BUT IT MOVED. I THEN STOPPED AT AN AUTOMOTIVE STORE TO GET A READ OUT EVEN THOUGH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. I GOT A P0776 CODE WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AT ALL. THAT ALONE IS SCARY! SO I GOT MY TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND THOUGHT THAT WOULD FIX IT BUT WEEKS LATER I'M HAVING EVEN MORE ISSUES. THE CAR QUIT MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF CITY TRAFFIC LUCKY ENOUGH NOBODY RAN OVER ME AND MY BABIES. SO I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON ENOUGH TO COAST TO THE GAS STATION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PAY TOO MUCH MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND KEEPING IT SERVICED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

Summary

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 16 ALTIMA THAT JUST CROSSED 50K MILES ON 3/20/21 WHEN SHE COULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. SHE NOTICED THE RPMS WERE MOVING HIGHER BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. SHE TURNED OFF THE CAR WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. AFTER RESTARTING SHE COULD NOT EXCEED 40MPH. WHILE DRIVING THE RMP BOUNCED BETWEEN 1000 AND 3000 AND THE CAR "JERKED" WHILE SHE CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME. BY THE TIME SHE MADE IT HOME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I USED A CODE SCANNER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THE CAR RETURNED THE FOLLOWING CODES (P0776PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID B PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF; P0841 TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH A CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER THEY DID THEIR DIAGNOSIS I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE, NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED WITH ONLY 50K MILLS AND NOW NEEDS A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. THE TECH FROM THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS A COMMON THING WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS, ESPECIALLY ON NISSANS; WHICH IS WHY HE RECOMMENDS CUSTOMERS BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL OR REDESIGN TO FIX THE ISSUE? IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT HAVE YOUR VEHICLE ACCELERATE WHEN YOU NEED IT TO. HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN CAUSED OR LIVES LOST BY DEFECTIVE CVTS? IT IS A VERY SCARY THING TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE DO SOME ABOUT THIS. WE DO NOT WHAT THIS TO TURN INTO A TAKATA AIRBAG SITUATION. AFTER BEING WARNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IF YOU GOOGLE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, YOU WILL FIND VIDEOS AND FORUMS WITH COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. MY WIFE AND I BOTH HAVE VIDEOS OF WHAT TOOK PLACE.

Summary

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. UPON DRIVING A FEW TIMES, THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT APPEARS AND STAYS ON MY DASH ALONG WITH WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR DOES NOT TURN OFF. IT IS NOW MARCH AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. ACCORDING TO THE CARFAX REPORT I RECEIVED WHEN PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, A MAINTENANCE CHECK WAS CONDUCTED BY THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER CLOSE TO ME IN JANUARY, IT ONLY SHOWS THE CURRENT RECALL OF A HOOD LATCH (20V315 - THAT APPARENTLY NO PART IS AVAILABLE FOR). I WAS ADVISED BY A SERVICE REPAIR REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE AIR BAG SENSORS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT ARE BROKEN AND WERE NOT REPAIRED DURING THAT MAINTENANCE CHECK. I QUESTIONED AS TO WHY WITH NO EXPLANATION GIVEN. I ADVISED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD FALL BACK UNDER THE RECALL FROM 2016 (16V244) WITH THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATING THAT IT DOESN'T!! IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THIS TO BE FIXED UNDER THAT RECALL OR DOES A NEW RECALL HAVE TO BE IN EFFECT?? LOOKING OUT FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FELLOW PASSENGERS. THANK YOU FROM A VERY CONCERNED VEHICLE OWNER.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING MY NISSAN ALTIMA AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHUDDER AND EVENTUALLY STOPPING PULLING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER THAT BARE HAD ENOUGH TIME AND SPACE TO SWERVE AND GO AROUND ME. THIS COULD'VE EASILY BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF A FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND AS EXPECTED THEY SUGGESTED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS A $5,000 OR MORE REPAIR. SO I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN HOPE OF GETTING SOME ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN SINCE THE VEHICLE IS A 2016 WITH ONLY A LITTLE OVER 100K MILES. AND LIKE I'VE READ ON SO MANY OTHER FORUMS AND COMPLAINTS, NISSAN REFUSED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THEY WOULD RATHER RISK SOMEONE BEING INJURED OR KILLED WHEN THESE CARS JUST RANDOMLY STOP PULLING WHILE TRAVELING ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. I'VE OWNED SEVERAL OTHER NISSANS, AND EVERY ONE WITH THE CVT HAD THIS PROBLEM, I SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO PURCHASE ANOTHER PIECE OF JUNK NISSAN BUT I GAVE THEM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT AND TOOK A CHANCE TO ONLY BE IN THE SAME SITUATION WITH A BAD CVT TRANSMISSION. MY THINK IS NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM OF THEY'VE HAD SINCE THEY WENT TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION BUT THEY WON'T OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE OR REPAIR THE ISSUE. EVEN THE LADY THAT I SPOKE TO AT CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAID SHE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN DID HAVE A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED AGAINST THEM FOR THIS WHERE THEY EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 84K MILES BUT THEY'RE PROBLEMS USUALLY START RIGHT AFTER 84K MILES. I KNOW SOME WILL SAY 100K OUT A TRANSMISSION IS GOOD BUT I DISAGREE, IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE COMPETITORS LIKE HONDA AND TOYOTA'S, THEY'RE DRIVETRAINS SURPASSES THE NISSANS BY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES. I OWN A 2013 HONDA ACCORD WITH THE CVT, IT'S AT 265K MILES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUES.

Summary

I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. FIRST: I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH A REGULAR TRUCK HAULING AN ENCLOSED TRAILER DROVE OVER A LARGE PIECE OF PLYWOOD ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH IN FRONT OF ME (ALSO GOING ABOUT 70 MPH) CAUSING THE PIECE OF PLYWOOD TO RAISE OFF OF THE ROAD AFTER HE CLEARED IT AND IT FLEW INTO THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND BOUNCED UP ONTO THE HOOD AND THEN HIT THE ROOF BEFORE FLYING OFF OF MY CAR. DURING THIS PROCESS, PIECES OF THE PLYWOOD BECAME STUCK IN THE GRILL AREA OF MY CAR. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, THANKFULLY, BUT I AM CONCERNED THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SECOND: I'VE HAD THIS CAR SINCE JULY OF 2019. OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, THE RPMS RISE BUT THE TRANSMISSION TAKES A BIT TO SHIFT INTO GEAR CAUSING A LAG IN ACCELERATION. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT IF I AM AT A LIGHT OR A STOP AND SHIFT INTO DRIVE SPORT, IT DOESN'T DO THIS. I HAVE GOTTEN IN THE HABIT OF SHIFTING INTO THE SPORT MODE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THIRD: MY DAUGHTER WAS HIT TODAY BY A TRUCK CROSSING LANES TO TURN IN FRONT OF HER. SHE WAS TRAVELING AT APPX 35 MPH. THE TRUCK HIT MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AREA, DESTROYING MY HEADLIGHT, BUMPER, AND GRILL. IT WAS HIT HARD AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK, CAUSING HER TO BOUNCE FORWARD AND SMACK HER HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM CONCERNED NOW ABOUT THE SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS AND AM MORE WORRIED THAT THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SAME ISSUES. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE VERY SAFE AT ALL.

Summary

ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27TH AS MY WIFE CAME HOME FROM WORK, SHE CALLED ME TO REPORT THAT THE CAR WAS BEHAVING STRANGELY, SHUDDERING AND LOSING POWER. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY DRIVABILITY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE WE BOUGHT IT, NOR ANY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OF ANY KIND. SHE MANAGED TO GET HOME AND WHEN I TOOK A LOOK AT IT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND WE DECIDED TO TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY MORNING IN ORDER TO GET THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED. FROM WHAT WAS EXPLAINED TO US AT THE NISSAN DEALER TODAY, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1ST, WE WERE TOLD THAT UNDER NISSAN'S POLICIES, ANY CAR THAT HAS A "BRANDED" TITLE CAUSES THE NEW CAR'S LIMITED WARRANTY TO BECOME NULL AND VOID. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED ON FEBRUARY 7, 2017 WHEN IT HAD 2,356 MILES. THE VEHICLE TODAY HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES SINCE NEW. THE ISSUE IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED, WHICH IS WIDELY KNOWN BY NISSAN TO BE IN AN ISSUE IN SEVERAL MODEL VEHICLES INCLUDING THE ALTIMA FOR AT LEAST SIX YEARS THAT I AM AWARE OF. WE ARE IN NO POSITION TO SPEND OVER $3500 PLUS DIAGNOSTIC COSTS TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE, AND HAVING THE UNCERTAINTY THAT THIS ISSUE COULD RE-APPEAR AGAIN AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE AND WE WILL AGAIN BE FORCED TO SPEND ANOTHER UNDETERMINED AMOUNT SIMILAR OR HIGHER THAN THE CURRENT ESTIMATED COSTS. ADDITIONALLY, IF AND WHEN THIS TRANSMISSION IS REPLACED, WE FALL BACK INTO THE SITUATION THAT THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WILL HAVE AN UNKNOWN LIMITATION ON THE WARRANTY OF THE REPAIR. THROUGH CLASS ACTION REMEDIES NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE FACTORY WARRANTY TO COVER THESE REPAIRS TO CUSTOMERS WHO ARE OUTSIDE OF THE REGULAR WARRANTY PERIOD (ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS NOT HAVING A FACTORY WARRANTY), EXTENDING IT TO AS MUCH AS 120,000 MILES IN SOME CASES, AND EVEN TRANSFERRABLE TO NEW OWNERS. WE CONTACTED AND OPENED A CASE AT NISSAN, BUT THEY SAID NO. NO MORE NISSAN VEHICLES FOR ME!

IF AN OPERATOR PUTS THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THIS DEFECT IS REPEATED, HOWEVER NOW DRIVERS WILL BE RELUCTANT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THUS RESULTING IN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE MAY UNINTENTIONALLY ROLL FORWARD SETTING UP THE POSSIBILITY OF PEDESTRIAN DEATH/INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING FORWARD IF THE BRAKE IS NOT CONSTANTLY ENGAGED. I AM SENDING A SCANNED COPY OF AN ALERT FROM NISSAN THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF TRANSMISSION DEFECTS, I BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE DESCRIBED ABOVE IS AN EXTENSION OF THAT DEFECT AND THAT THERE IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE OF THAT DEFECT. NISSAN CASE #42195183 SARA JANE @ CONSUMER AFFAIRS 615 725-7587. NHTSA ODI #11365560 REF #342354. I FILED THE INITIAL REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION WITH DARLEEN @ NHTSA ON 10/21/20 @ 1015 HRS.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING TOWARDS THE END OF THE TRIP 250 MILES, WAS CRUISING ABOUT 15 MPH, CAR WAS NO LONGER RESPONDING TO ACCELERATION, ENGINE MAKING LOUD NOISE AS IF STRUGGLING AND RPM INCREASED ABOUT 5000, I DROVE LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 2 MILES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NEXT DAY CAR DROVE FINE. HAD TWO SIMILAR EPISODES IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, CAR WITH SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN AND NOT RESPONDING TO ACCELERATION, RPM INCREASED 5-6K, THESE LASTED LESS THAN A MINUTE AND THEN DROVE NORMAL AGAIN.LAST WEEK HAD A MAJOR EPISODE, WHILE IN TRAFFIC AT 40 MILES AN HOUR, WAS NOT ACCELERATING AGAIN AND SPEED STUCK AT 40 MPH. AND RPMS INCREASED TO ABOUT 5 TO 6000, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE SOUND AS IF STRUGGLING. CAR IS NOW JERKING WHEN REVERSING, ONLY HAS 44,800 MILES. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THEY ARE SEVERAL VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE WITH SIMILAR MODEL ALTIMA EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, MOST PEOPLE THINK IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT IS FAULTY AND OVERHEATING.

MY CAR AFTER IT HAS WARMED UP FROM A STOP IT WILL NOT MOVE WHEN ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED , EVEN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THEN WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN TAKE OFF EVEN PEEL OUT AND IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT WILL START REVVING THE RPMS BUT BARELY MOVE. ONE TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SHOWED THE SOLENOID #2 NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF IT RESETS SOMEHOW AND WORKS FINE FOR A WHILE THEN DOES IT AGAIN. SO I WILL STOP AND RESTART THE CAR BEFORE I GET TO AN INTERSECTION SO I WON?T GET HIT BECAUSE MY CAR WON?T GO. IT WILL ALSO SHUDDER ON HILLS REGARDLESS OF BEING COLD OR HOT. DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AND MY DAUGHTER WANTS MY CAR SO BRINGING IT IN TO GET THE SOLENOIDS REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION FLUSHED TO SEE IF THIS FIXES THE ISSUE. REAR PASSENGER WINDOW HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GO DOWN MUCH FROM DAY I BOUGHT IT, SO MAY BE RELATED TO DOOR OPENING RECALL , GUESS WE'LL SEE. *TR

IF I STAY IDLE TO LONG AND GO TO TAP THE GAS THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE IT SLOWLY GLIDES THEN IT TAKES OFF REALLY FAST! I NOTICED WHEN I'M DOING SHORT STOPS OR IDLING OR SITTING ON A HILL IT DOES THIS! IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE IT'S AIR IN THE TRANSMISSION THE WAY IT DOESN'T GO WHEN YOU TAP THE GAS! IT'S BEEN TIMES I'VE BEEN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE I WAS WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR STILL WOULDN'T MOVE! SO I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF WAIT ABOUT 20 SECONDS AND TURN IT BACK ON.

Summary

LAST SUMMER I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BUTTERFLY VALVE ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IT WAS A SATURDAY, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND THE ONLY PLACE THAT WAS OPEN AND THE CLOSEST WAS THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I TOOK IT IN THERE THEY FIXED IT, BUT THE REPAIRS WERE OVER 1 GRAND. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY LYING AROUND SO I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE TO ASK IF I CAN HAVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THEY SAID BECAUSE I DON'T SERVICE MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAN NOT FINANCE ME AND HELP ME WITH IT. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS OUT OF MY WAY TO GET IT SERVICED. SECOND ISSUE STARTED RECENTLY AND THAT IS WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR THERE IS NOT VERY GOOD ACCELERATION AND ONCE I HIT 20 MPH I START TO HEAR A WHINING NOISE. I DID SOME DIGGING IN SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS AND THOSE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN TOLD ITS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. LAST WEEK I BARLEY WENT OVER 73,000 MILES ON MY ODOMETER. I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO REPLACE AN ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, NOR DO I REALLY CARE TO. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN AS LONG AS I LIVE. THERE COOPERATE CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS AS WELL AS THERE CVT TRANSMISSIONS!!

Summary

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE HER AND OUR THREE CHILDREN. SOMETHING WAS GOING ON MAKING THE CAR STALL WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AND SOMETIMES ACCELERATE. THE RPM WOULD GO ALL THE WAY UP EVEN WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NEWARK DELAWARE AND THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK. I BELIEVE THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPAIR SOMETHING ON THE TRANSMISSION. WHATEVER WAS WRONG THEY COVERED IT UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER A WEEK WE GOT THE CAR BACK AND MY WIFE DROVE TO NEW JERSEY TO VISIT FAMILY WITH THE KIDS ABOUT 45 MINUTES AWAY. WHILE COMING BACK ON THE DELAWARE MEMORIAL BRIDGE THE CAR RPM ROSE ALL THE WAY UP MAKING THE CAR ACCELERATE BEHIND ANOTHER CAR ALMOST RAMMING THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. SHAKEN FROM WHAT JUST HAPPENED SHE DROVE SLOW AND CAREFUL THE REST OF THE WAY HOME ABOUT 10 MINUTE DRIVE FROM THE BRIDGE. I TRIED TO CHECK IT OUT MYSELF BECAUSE WE JUST GOT IT BACK AFTER A WEEK SO IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANYMORE TROUBLE BUT THE CAR THEN WOULD NOT START. THE BATTERY DIED FROM TRYING TO START IT. AFTER ALL THAT WE DID A VOLUNTARY SURRENDER DUE TO THE CAR NOT BEING SAFE. SHE FELT IF SHE AND THE KIDS GOT BACK IN IT SHE WOULD JUST BE ASKING FOR SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN. IT ONLY HAD ABOUT 39000 MILES SO SHOULD NOT BE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ABOUT 07:30AM CT. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND HEAR A VERY LOUD BANG AND HEAR GLASS. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HIT ME BUT DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING. LOOKED IN MY MIRRORS, CARS GOING BY ME AND REALIZED I WAS NOT HIT. THEN I THOUGHT SOMEONE SHOT MY CAR. I CONTINUED TO HEAR GLASS BUT DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. VERY SHAKEN UP NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I PULLED OFF ON THE NEXT EXIT AND FOUND MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THE GLASS FLYING OUT (HWY SPEED) CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE PAINT ON THE ROOF AND TRUNK OF MY CAR. I CALLED NISSAN DEALER WHO SUGGESTED I CALL CORPORATE. CORPORATE SAID TO BRING CAR TO DEALER. DEALER CHECKED VENTS SAID THEY WERE CLEAR. SERVICE MANAGER AS WELL AS A COUPLE SERVICE PEOPLE CAME OUT TO TALK TO ME AND TOLD ME THIS IS DEFINATELY A NISSAN DEFECT AND THE SUNROOF AND PAINT WOULD BE COVERED. AFTER A FEW DAYS WITH NO WORD I WENT TO THE DEALER (THEY DID GIVE ME A COURTESY VEHICLE). WHEN I WENT TO CHECK ON MY CAR THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE SUNROOF WAS IN. I AGAIN TOLD HIM I NEED TO KNOW IF ALL INCLUDING PAINT IS COVERED. I HAD OPENED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE BEFORE I CALLED NISSAN AND I DID NOT CLOSE THAT CLAIM UNTIL I KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. NISSAN WENT AHEAD AND PUT IN THE SUNROOF. TOLD ME AGAIN PAINT WOULD BE COVERED. TWICE THEY SAID IT WAS DONE. TWICE REFUSED BECAUSE PAINT WAS NOT TOUCHED. NISSAN DEALER THEN SAID THAT NISSAN WILL PAY $1000 TOWARDS THE $1230 SUNROOF AND WILL NOT COVER PAINT. CALLED CORPORATE BACK WHO SENT TO REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHO DENIED ANY CLAIM WITH MY CAR. I HAD TO PAY THE $230 AND BRING TO AUTOBODY SHOP FOR PAINT REPAIR. WITH ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE. NO CAR NOW FOR 3 WEEKS.

TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES UNTIL THEY FINALLY DECIDED TO LOOK FURTHER. THEY REPLACED LEFT REAR SHOCK; HOWEVER, THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. IT SEEMS AS THE TIRES AND STEERING WHEEL ARE OFF.

ON NOVEMBER 16 2019 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK, WHEN I FELT MY CAR JERK WHILE I WAS DRIVING 70MPH . IT CONTINUED TO JERK ON AND OFF. I TOLD MY HUSBAND AND WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TEST RESULTS READ CVT, WHICH IS TRANSMISSION FOR ALTIMA. AFTER RECEIVING THAT INFORMATION I WENT TO THE NISSAN WEBSITE TO CHECK FOR RECALLS. I PUT IN MY VIN NUMBER AND TWO RECALLS CAME BACK. WE THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED THEM OF THE RECALLS, AND ASKED WHY WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALLS. IN A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL IT STATES IF THE RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS NOT FIXED, CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION CAN LEAD TO ACCELERATED WEAR AND DAMAGE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THIS RECALL WAS POSTED DECEMBER 2016. I PURCHASED THE CAR AUGUST 2017 AND I HAVE DROVE MY CAR EVERYDAY UNTIL NOVEMBER 25, 2019. WITH NO NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL. I AM GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN NISSAN'S DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATE TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT NO CHARGE BUT THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE I DIDN'T PURCHASE THE VEHICLE FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP.

Summary

MY CAR IS BARELY 4 YEARS OLD, I'M IN MY EARLY 40S AND I'M VERY NERVOUS DRIVING AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON DARK BACK ROADS. IF A CAR IS COMING FROM OPPOSITE DIRECTION I LOSE SIGHT OF THE LINES ON THE ROAD & HAVE TO DEPEND ON THE CAR COMING AT ME TO JUDGE WHERE I SHOULD BE. IT'S 10X WORSE WHEN THERE'S A NEWER CAR WITH THE BRIGHT LED LIGHTS. THEY ARE BLINDING. EVEN WHEN BEHIND ME, I HAVE TO MOVE MY SIDE MIRRORS. THE REFLECTION IS TOO BRIGHT AND AFFECTS THE POOR LINE OF SIGHT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH DUE TO MY VERY POOR HEADLIGHTS. I'LL ALSO ADD THAT I HAVE TINTED WINDOWS THAT DON'T HELP TO BLOCK THESE LIGHTS. I DID ASK MY EYE DR & HE TOLD ME LOTS OF PATIENTS HAVE COMPLAINTS. I DID READ THAT PREVIOUS YEAR ALTIMAS HAVE POOR HEADLIGHTS. APPARENTLY, IT HAS TO DUE WITH THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, WHICH IS A NISSAN PROBLEM. BELOW IS THE SITE I FOUND WITH INFO ON IT. MY FRIEND HAS A 2018 ALTIMA AND SHE CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT EITHER SO I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING. HTTP://WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/ALTIMA-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS/ ONE LAST STATEMENT I'D LIKE TO MAKE. I HAD A 2008 ALTIMA BEFORE THIS ONE AND MAYBE SPENT $500 IN REPAIRS OVER A FEW YEARS. I GOT THIS 2016 ALTIMA IN FEBRUARY 2019, CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES AND I JUST HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. HAD STRANGE ACCELERATION ISSUES SPORADICALLY AND THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE. I TOOK VIDEO OF THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED SO I HAD DOCUMENTED PROOF. 2 WEEKS AGO THE ISSUE STARTED AND DIDN'T GO AWAY THIS TIME. HAD PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, STUCK AT 30 MPH AND RPMS AT 5000. WORK WAS JUST FINISHED LAST WEEK THAT WOULD'VE COST ME AROUND $4000 IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY WARRANTY. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I DID GET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT NOTICE TO NISSAN REGARDING THE CVT......AND WEEKS LATER I WAS ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE ONES WHO WAS BURDENED AND STRESSED.

ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON YESTERDAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CANE ON AS WELL AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WHICH CAUSED MY CAR TO LOSE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET RIGHT BACK OFF THE FREEWAY AND TURN INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT STARTED WITH THE SAME LIGHTS ON. I HAD MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT 73,000 MILES WITH A 12,000 MILE WARRANTY ALREADY BUT I DON'T THINK THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS THE ISSUE THIS TIME. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN OF GRAPEVINE DEALERSHIP AGAIN BECAUSE I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH MY 3 MONTH OLD AND SIXTEEN YEAR OLD IN THE CAR

Summary

STARTED VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND PUT IN REVERSE AND PRESSED THE PEDAL TO BACK OUT AND HAD A DELAYED REACTION AND THE RPM'S JUST INCREASED. THE CAR DID NOT MOVE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR TO FIVE SECONDS AND FINALLY BACKED OUT. PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND DROVE TOWARD A STOP SIGN APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS AWAY AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND AGAIN THE RPM'S INCREASED BUT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD NOT MOVE. DROVE VEHICLE BACK HOME AND WITH SAME ISSUES AND PARKED FOR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES. TRIED TO DUPLICATE BUT DROVE JUST FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHILE AT A RED LIGHT ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. TRIED ACCELERATING AND WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. PLACED IN PARK, CUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND IT DARTED OFF. LUCKILY, THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS BUT HAVE CONCERNS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. THIS ALTIMA ON HAS OVER 53K MILES AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT HAVE READ SEVERAL STATEMENTS ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NOT SURE WHY NISSAN HAS NOT PLACED A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT IS VERY UNSAFE.

16 NISSAN ALTIMA SOMETIMES HAS ABOUT A 5 SECOND DELAY IN ACCELERATION AS CAR JUST IDLES AND SLOWLY ROLLS AHEAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE TAKING OFF AND CROSSING ON COMING TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE IT DOESNT SHOW AN ERROR CODE. SAME WITH NISSAN USA CORPERATION. SAYS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTILL SHOWS A CODE OR FAILS COMPLETELY. SO BASICALL THEY ARE SAYING THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE? NEW TRANSMISSION ABOUT 4500 DOLLARS. MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 90,000 MILES, WICH IS AN AFTERMARKET WARRANTY THAT I PAID 2500 $ FOR. IM SURE THAT THEY HOPE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES SO I GET THE BILL. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND FOOTPEDAL POSITION SENSORS AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. HOW CAN THEY BE IN BUISNESS? HOW VAN THEY TELL ME IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. I THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

ON THE 14TH OF JUNE, 2019 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. WHEN SUDDENLY I FELT MY CAR POWER DECREASING AS I PRESSED THE GAS. SOON AS THAT HAPPEN I NEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG SO FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHER I TOOK THE NEAREST EXITED TO LOCAL STREET AND FOUND A SAFE AREA TO CHECK MY CAR. TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND I STARTED DRIVING SGAIN IT SEEMED LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED BUT AFTER ABOUT 10 LATER IT COMPLETELY LOST POWER NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED THE GAS. SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND WE TOOK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND I FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR HAS DIED AND IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. AND THAT WILL COST ME ALOT OF MONEY. SO I CALLED A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WILL. COST ME $3000 FOR NEW TRANSMISSION. SO MY NEXT OPTION WAS TO CHECK WITH NISSAN IF THEY WILL HELP ME SO I CALLED THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE SO THEY ASKED HOW MUCH MILES I HAD IN THE CAR AND I TOLD THEM 70,000 MILES. BUT SADLY THEY TOLD ME MY WARRANT END AT 60,000 MILES. I NEED MY CAR FOR WORK SO AT THE END IT TOOK ABOUT A WEEK TO GET IT FIXED AND COSTED ME AROUND $2000. WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH WITH THIS CAR. WHAT SURPRISED ME IS THAT I ALWAYS TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT SINCE THE FIRST TIME I GOT IT I MADE SURE ALL MAINTENANCE THAT WAS NEEDED FOR IT WAS DONE BUT I WAS SURPRISED THAT MY TRANSMISSION DIED AT ONLY 70,000 MILES.

Summary

IN MARCH 2019 MY VEHICLE HAD 54,000 MILES. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT & WHEN I HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR JERKED FORWARD AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, LEAVING ME SIT IN TRAFFIC. IT EVENTUALLY MOVED. I TOOK IT TO JONES JUNCTION NISSAN AND THEY "COULD NOT HAVE AN ERROR CODE" FOR THE PROBLEM, MADE ME BUY A CARB KIT TO FIX IT. TWO MONTHS LATER, IN MAY 2019, WITH 58,000 MILES ON MY CAR, I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. IT WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN I HIT THE GAS AND I HAD TO DRIFT FOR 2 MILES TO AN ADVANCE AUTO PARTS. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN, BUT WOULD HESITATE ON OCCASION, PARTICULARLY WHEN STOPPED. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY COULD NOT FIND AN "ERROR CODE" SO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH WHEN THE MECHANIC DROVE IT, HE ALSO FELT THE HESITATION. NISSAN HAD THE DEALERSHIP "RE-PROGRAM" THE TRANSMISSION AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. ONE MONTH LATER I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND LET THE MECHANIC KNOW IF WAS STILL HESITATING A LITTLE BIT WHEN I WOULD BEING TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. YESTERDAY, AUGUST 26, WITH 62,000 MILES ON MY CAR, IT STARTED HESITATING AND JERKING ON THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS DRIVING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL OVER, STOP THE CAR, RESTART IT, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. IT DID THE SAME THING ON THE RIDE HOME, JERKING EVERY TIME I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS, AND NOT ACCELERATING AT STOP LIGHTS AND IN TRAFFIC. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO JONES JUNCTION NISSAN 4 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE. TO DATE, THEY HAVE NOT REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION - WHICH IS A CVT TRANSMISSION - AND AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. IT HAS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS FIXING! IT IS GETTING RIDICULOUS THAT I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN THERE SO OFTEN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NISSAN WILL NOT RESOLVE IT.

NISSAN STATED I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE AND THEY WILL TRY AND NEGOTIATE SOMETHING TO LOWER THE COST OF REPAIR DEALERSHIPS WANT TO CHARGER ANYWHERE FOR $99-$150 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I AM ALREADY OUT OF MONEY BECAUSE I DRIVE FULL-TIME FOR A LIVING AND ONLY HAVE ONE CAR. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT NISSAN WOULD EXTEND A WARRANTY ON AN OLDER CAR BUT NOT ONE 3 YRS OLD FOR A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE FULL WELL AWARE OF.

I JUST PURCHASED A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM HERTZ CAR SALES IN APRIL 2019. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY, AND NOW I HAVE A NEW HEADACHE. ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019 OF LAST WEEK WHEN I STOPPED AT A CROSSWALK, ON A CITY STREET, TO ALLOW A PEDESTRIAN TO CROSS, WITHOUT ANY FOREWARNING THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. I HAD TO RESTART IT AND IT DID SO WITH NO PROBLEM, BUT THEN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR FELT VERY HESITANT TO DRIVE. AS I WAS DRIVING IT FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS GOING TO STOP AT ANY MINUTE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I WOULD BRAKE, SLOW DOWN, OR COMPLETELY STOP.I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR A FEW TIMES DURING MY COMMUTE. ALSO, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW DAYS NOW SO I HAD 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT MY CAR. THE FIRST ONE SAID THAT IT MAY BE THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR, BUT HE WAS NOT 100% CERTAIN. THE SECOND SHOP I WENT TO SAID IT WAS THE VTC SOLENOID,AND THE THIRD PLACE THAT I CHECKED GAVE ME AN ACTUAL ERROR # OF P0011 INTAKE VALVE TIMING, VALVE CONTROL.

WHEN I AM STOPPED (AT A STOP SIGN, TRAFFIC LIGHT, ETC.) THE CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESS THE GAS. IT SOMETIMES TAKES 5 TO 7 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY, AND THERE IS NO WARNING. THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES WHEN THE RPMS REV UP EXTREMELY HIGH AND THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND SINCE THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE, AND NOTHING SHOWS UP WHEN THEY RUN DIAGNOSTICS, THEY HAVE STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW AND CURRENTLY IT HAS 46,000 MILES, AND I CURRENTLY DON'T FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING IT. THIS HAS BEEN RANDOMLY HAPPENING FOR MONTHS.

AS MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DROP SPEED FROM 70 MILES TO ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR. AS I TRIED TO SPEED UP BY ACCELERATING, THE SPEED WOULD NOT GO HIGHER AND WOULD JUST CONTINUE TO DROP. THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO SEE I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY AND WOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN THEY GOT CLOSE AND GO AROUND ME, SO I AM GLAD NO ACCIDENTS HAPPENED SINCE WE WERE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN HIGH SPEED WHEN THIS STARTED TO OCCUR. WE DROVE LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES SINCE WE WERE DRIVING BACK HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN. AT SOME POINTS IT FELT AS THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO TURN OFF WHILE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WOULD JERK WHILE DRIVING AND SPEED UP ON IT'S OWN AS WELL AT TIMES. WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT THE CAR SAID IT WAS GOING 60 MILES PER AND I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. IT WOULD NOT BREAK AS I STEPPED ON THE BREAK, TAKING IT A WHILE TO RESPOND. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AFTER I ACCELERATED, AND AFTER A WHILE START TO MOVE SLOWLY AND GAIN SPEED VERY SLOWLY. AN ERROR ALSO APPEARED BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT DISPLAYED.

Summary

I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ABOUT 68,000 MILES AND MY TRANSMISSION HAS TROUBLE CHANGING GEARS AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW MINUTES. AS I CHANGE GEARS FROM 0 TO 40 MPH, THE CAR STARTS JERKING OR TAKES A WHILE TO REACH 40 MPH. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING AROUND THE CITY AND I MAKE A FULL STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, WHEN I START ACCELERATING THE CAR WON'T SPEED UP NO MATTER HOW FAR I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR, AFTER 6-10 SECONDS HAVE PASSED IT'LL START MOVING BUT IN A VERY JERKING MANNER. TO FIX THE ISSUE AT THE MOMENT, I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND LET IT REST FOR A FEW MINUTES. BUT, IT STILL DOES THIS EVERY TIME I DRIVE. IN THE HIGHWAY, I CAN NOT GO FASTER THAN 70 MPH BECAUSE ONCE I GET OUT OF THE HIGH WAY AND SLOW DOWN THE CAR WILL HAVE THE SAME GEAR CHANGING ISSUE AND IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR WILL GIVE UP ANY SECOND. THIS WASN'T AN ISSUE WHEN I GOT THIS CAR WITH ABOUT 48,000 MILES ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. IT STARTED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AFTER GETTING IT AND IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO LET ME KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL MADE FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION, MY ONLY SOLUTION WOULD BE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

WITHIN A MATTER OF A FEW DAYS THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. I FEEL LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED WHEN MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO CROSS TRAFFIC. AFTER MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $4,087 FOR A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, I CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND REQUESTED THEY COVER THE REPLACEMENT COST OF THE CVT BUT THEY REFUSED. NO THREE-YEAR-OLD, NORMALLY-DRIVEN VEHICLE UNDER 100,000 MILES SHOULD EVER HAVE ITS TRANSMISSION FAIL. THE NISSAN CVT PROBLEM IS A NATIONAL TRAVESTY. I WAS A NISSAN CUSTOMER FOR LIFE BUT WILL NEVER PURCHASE NOR ENDORSE THEIR VEHICLES EVER AGAIN.

ONCE I HIT 70,000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT ON ME. JUST 10,000 MILES OVER THEIR FACTORY WARRANTY. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IN THE PAST. HOWEVER, SINCE MY CAR IS A 2016 IT IS NOT COVERED IN THAT WARRANTY EXTENSION. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS. RATHER THAN FIXING THE ISSUE THEY EXTENDED IT ON OLDER MODELS, AND LEFT EVERYONE ELSE TO FIX IT ON OUR OWN DIME. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR EVERYONE OF THEIR VEHICLES NOT JUST A SELECT FEW OLDER MODELS. I HAVE OWNED A NISSAN FOR 12 YEARS. NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL I PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN.

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM ANDERSON NISSAN - LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ AND WE ALSO PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY (UP TO 60,000 MILES). AT APPROXIMATELY 64,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN COMPLETELY. WHEN THIS WAS TOWED TO THE ORIGINATING DEALERSHIP, WE SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY "KNOWN TRANSMISSION ISSUES" WITH THIS VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. WE WERE ONLY TOLD "THIS CAN SOMETIMES HAPPEN". WE HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. ANDERSON-NISSAN CHARGED US $3700 TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION AND IS NOT ACCEPTING ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR REPLYING TO ANY EMAILS AS TO THEIR LACK OF TRANSPARENCY REGARDING TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN I'M DRIVING WHERE ALL OF A SUDDEN I CAN'T ACCELERATE. I'LL HAVE THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENING. THE GAS PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED AND YET THE CAR SLOWS DOWN THE WAY IT WOULD IF YOU TOOK YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW 2 YEARS AGO. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. I'VE BEEN TO 2 DEALERSHIPS AND THEY BOTH TELL ME THEY AREN'T GETTING A CODE SO THEY CAN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG. ONE OF THE NISSAN MECHANICS ROAD TESTED IT WITH ME AND EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM BUT I'M STILL BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I SUSPECT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CVT. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT'S HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS - 5 MPH IN A PARKING LOT, 30 MPH ON THE STREET, 45-60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. MOST RECENTLY IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. THE RPM WENT WAY UP BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I COULDN'T GET IT TO GO ABOVE 60 MPH.

I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO GO FORWARD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE SO I PUSHED HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF. I WAS ON A CITY STREET. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY RAN A FREE TEST AND SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $130 TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THAT WOULD LET ME KNOW IF IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NINE MONTHS AGO AT 30,000 MILES AND NOW IT IS OVER 60,000 MILE S. THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. NISSAN KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND YOU HAVE DRIVERS WITH COMPLAINTS. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME WHEN THEIR CARS WILL HESITATE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. FAMILIES ARE GOING TO BE TRAVELING AND THESE CARS HESITATE. THAT IS GOING TO BE A DEADLY SITUATION. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN.

Summary

THE CAR IS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD AND I BROUGHT IT NEW WITH ONLY 8 MILES. THE CAR STARTED HESITATING WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. THAT'S WHERE I NOTICED THE HESITATION FIRST. THE ISSUE OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS, TURNING, AND CAR HAS HAD ISSUES WHILE IN MOTION. WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR HAVE TO STOP TO MAKE A TURN THE CAR HESITATES ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS AND THEN TAKES OFF. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS SO SWITCHED GAS STATIONS AND IT STOPPED FOR A WHILE AND THEN STARTED BACK. WHILE DRIVING CAME TO A STOP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE CAR HESITATED AND THEN WHEN THE TURN WAS COMPLETE THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASS 40MPH. I CAME TO ANOTHER STOP SIGN, CAR HESITATED, AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASS 20MPH. I HAD TO PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. IT STARTED ACCELERATING PROPERLY BUT STILL WITH THE HESITATION FROM A STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR $125 WHICH LED THEM TO SAY THAT THE VALVE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR THE CAR NEEDS A NEW CVT. THE DEALERSHIP REQUEST ANOTHER $400 TO INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION TO SEE WHICH WAY IT COULD BE FIXED. ($1100 VALVE BODY AND $4000 CVT REPLACED. THIS IS VERY COSTLY AND A 2016 CAR SHOULD NOT NEED A TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S CVT THAT I WAS NOT AWARE OF UNTIL NOW. AMONG OTHER THINGS THE SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED THAT THIS JUST HAPPENS. WELL IT SHOULD NOT JUST HAPPEN IN A 3 YEAR OLD CAR.

Summary

WE PURCHASED THIS CAR LAST MAY AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER MAY BE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I START EXPERIENCING DELAYS ON ACCELERATION. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY SO I USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. SO WHEN I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE DELAY ON ACCELERATION I STOP USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE ISSUE. TO SHORTEN A LONG STORY AFTER I STOP USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE ISSUE REMAINED. I'M GOING TO GO MORE IN DEPTH ABOUT THE ISSUE. FOR EXAMPLE, I AM STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, I ACCELERATE NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A FEW SECONDS THERE'S A DELAY FOR ABOUT FOUR TO 5 SECONDS AND THEN ACCELERATION COMMENCES IN THE RPMS GO WAY UP. AT THIS TIME I HAVE TO LET UP OFF THE EXCELERATOR AND EASE INTO ACCELERATION NOW. EVERY TIME I GO TO ACCELERATE THE RPMS GO WAY UP THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WANT TO GO INTO THE NEXT GEAR. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURN OFF THE CAR TO RE-BOOT IT. MOST OF THE TIME THIS WORKS SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. SO ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. NOW I HAVE CODES TO TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS, TRANSMISSION RELATED CODES COME UP AND NOW THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR IT WAS ABOUT 49,000 MILES ON IT. I STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE WELL BEFORE I GOT TO 60,000 MILES. 60,000 MILES IS THE CUT OFF FOR NISSAN'S POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IF I HAD GOTTEN THE CODES BEFORE 60,000 MILES, IT WOULD BE COVERED ON UNDER NISSAN'S WARRANTY. MY GIRLFRIEND CHECKED ON CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND NOTICED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION FOR RECALL ON THIS MATTER.

ON WEDNESDAY 1/30/2019 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING NORTH ON I-17 ENTERING FLAGSTAFF WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. THE ENGINE WAS REVING TO ABOUT 6000 RPM BUT THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MPH. SHE MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT AND CALL ME FOR HELP. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE TRANSMISSION COOLED DOWN AND WORKED NORMALLY. I HAD HER TAKE THE CAR TO A LOCAL SHOP AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY GOT A CODE P0776. THEY CONTACTED NISSAN AND FOUND THE CAR TO BE UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED UNTIL 100,000 MILES. MY DAUGHTER DROVE HOME THE NEXT DAY AND WE TOOK IT INTO PINNACLE NISSAN WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY COULD NOT GET THE CODE TO COME UP SO ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS ABOUT THE TENTH TIME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED, THIS BEING THE MOST SEVERE. PINNACLE NISSAN AND NISSAN USA ARE TELLING ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, THEN BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. I TOLD THEM BOTH THAT THE WARNING LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, SO COULD THERE BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CARS COMPUTER ALSO WHICH IS WHY THEY CAN NOT GET A CODE TO COME UP? THEY SAID NO, THAT IS NOT HAPPENING?

2016 ALTIMA, BARELY 3 YEARS OLD, 71,000 MILES. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND SHUDDER AND RPM'S JUMP UP AND DOWN WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. BEFORE THE DAY WAS OVER, IT WAS HAPPENING WHILE I WAS DRIVING (ANY WHERE FROM 0-60+MPH). THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I HIT THE GAS, IT MAY JERK/LURCH FORWARD OR MAY NOT GO ANYWHERE. I WOULD HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS AND TRY AGAIN. SOME TIMES IT WOULD CORRECT ITSELF, OTHER TIMES NOT AND RPM'S WOULD STAY HIGH-- 3-5. FELT LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO "CHANGE GEARS" (ITS A CVT SO ONLY ONE "GEAR") WHILE JERKING AND ACCELERATING/DECELERATING. VERY DISTRACTING AND CONCERNING TO SAY THE LEAST. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSTICS RAN. WAS CONTACTED AND TOLD IT WAS THROWING 2 CODES - SUB ASSEMBLY FAILURE AND PRESSURE FLUID SENSOR FAILURE. THESE ARE TRANSMISSION CODES. WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, $4200 OUT THE DOOR..... IN WHAT WORLD IS IT "NORMAL" FOR A FAIRLY NEW CAR WITH NO PRIOR ISSUES TO HAVE A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE?? THE DEALER AGREED THERE IS NOTHING WE COULD'VE DONE TO PREVENT THIS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND FILED A COMPLAINT, REQUESTING GOODWILL ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. I WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME BY CLOSE OF BUSINESS TOMORROW. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. READING THESE COMMENTS, IT APPEARS THAT THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS DO NOT PERFORM MUCH BETTER. I WILL BE GETTING OUT OF THIS CAR ASAP.

THE CAR IS STALLS AT STOPLIGHTS, REVERSE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL TIMES EXCESSIVE EXHAUST WAS COMING OUT OF TAILPIPES. ON HIGHWAY, THE TACHOMETER MOVES FAST WHEN ADDING ACCELERATION AND POWER DELAYS. WHEN I GO TO THE WYLER DEALERSHIPS IN CINCINNATI, OHIO, THEY HAVE 2-3 MONTH DELAY ON TRANSMISSION WORK AND OTHERS IN THE AREA (WYLER EASTGATE) ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH A BACKLOG OF TRANSMISSION WORK - THIS SEEMS TO BE A BRAND ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND WHEN ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE GETTING WORK DONE ON THEIR NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS AT THE DEALERSHIPS THIS IS DEFINITELY A QUALITY ISSUE. I HOPE YOU REQUEST A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS OR PROVIDE A REBATE TO GET THIS WORK DONE AT THE DEALERSHIPS FOR THE NISSAN CUSTOMERS. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPOKE W/ ADAM HE PROVIDES ME WITH A CASE #33804054 (VERY PLEASANT FELLOW) ONCE I CAN GET INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE THIS WEEK (WYLER OF CINCINNATI) IN COLERAIN.

THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 35-40 MPH, AND THE RPMS ARE JUMPING ALL OVER. THE ESTIMATE OF REPAIR IS 4600.00 THIS CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 66,500 MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT WITH APPROXIMATELY 49,000. THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY TRANSMISSION, AS I HAVE HAD CARS WELL OVER 120, 000 MILES AND NO TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

PURCHASED MY NISSAN ON FEBRUARY 23, 2017... UNFORTUNATELY I NEVER TEST DROVE IT AND THE NEXT DAY TOOK DELIVERY... TWO MINUTES ON THE ROAD I HEARD AN AWFUL NOISE... TURNED OUT IT NEEDED A NEW WHEEL BEARING... SINCE THEN THEY ALSO REPLACED BALL JOINTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.... NOW WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL I HEAR AND FEEL A CLUNKING NOISE WITH WHAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PLAY... CLUNKING IS VERY APPARENT WHEN BACKING UP AND STEERING INTO A PARKING SPOT... DEALERSHIP HAS ACTUALLY GONE OUT OF THERE WAY TO ASSURE ME THAT IT'S NORMAL FOR NISSAN'S.. I HONESTLY BELIEVE I PURCHASED A CAR WITH LEFT FRONT WHEEL DAMAGE AND NEVER LISTED ON A CAR FAX... I ENJOY DRIVING THE CAR AND HOPE YOU CAN HELP GETTING THIS RESOLVED/STEERING RACK REPLACED.. IF YOU DO FOLLOW UP WITH THIS COMPLAINT, I'M SURE THERE ARE RECORDS OF WHAT THEY HAVE REPLACED ON THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL.... THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE, SO THERE'S NO SPECIFIC DATE I NOTICED THIS... IF YOU CAN SECURE THOSE RECORDS YOU WILL SEE MY COMMENTS WHEN GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS DEALERSHIP HAS GIVEN ME GREAT SERVICE AND HOPE YOU CAN HELP

I ARRIVE AT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL, STOPPED, WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, I HAD TROUBLE WITH MY CAR PICKING UP SPEED. PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCING THIS SITUATION FROM AN OLD CHEVROLET VEHICLE I KNEW IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I CALLED MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND EXPLAINED WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY CAR, AND I THINK THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. MY MECHANIC EXPLAINED MY CAR IS TOO NEW TO HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES, HE ASKED I BRING IT TO THE SHOP. MY MECHANIC IS AN HONEST MECHANIC IF HE IS UNABLE TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE, HE WILL NOT TOUCH YOUR VEHICLE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC HE DROVE MY VEHICLE HIMSELF, RETURN TO THE SHOP IN 5 MINUTES, EXPRESS TO ME, "TAKE YOUR CAR TO NISSAN RIGHT NOW! THERE MUST BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION YOUR VEHICLE IS TOO NEW FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES." MY 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA, I PURCHASED OCOBER 15, 2016 STARTED OUT WITH 22 MILES, I PUT THOSE 22 MILES AFTER TEST DRIVING. NOW AT 66,048 MILES, I AM FACED WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

Summary

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA WHEN I REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT WAS STATIONARY AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX 30MPH, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN BY GENTLY APPLYING MY BRAKES BUT MY NISSAN ALTIMA CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN AT ALL. I THEN SLAMMED THE BRAKES DOWN FIRMLY, STILL NOTHING, THE ABS DID NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. I SWERVED TO MY RIGHT TO TRY AND AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HEAD ON. I CAUGHT IT'S RIGHT HAND BACK FENDER, BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, THE IMPACT OF HITTING THE MERCEDES STOPPED MY CAR- BOTH AIRBAGS INFLATED. MY 90LB, 18 YEAROLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I BROUGHT IT UP TO NISSAN ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WAS ON AND OFF WHEN MY SON SAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. ON THE FIRST OCCASION NISSAN JUST RESET THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR. IT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE, THE SECOND COMPLAINT, NISSAN SAID IT WOULD ONLY GO OFF IF MY SON WEIGHED OVER 110LBS. IN THIS ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG DID GO OFF, CONSIDERING THIS CAR WAS GOING TO BE THE CAR HE DROVE- HE HAS HIS PERMIT RIGHT NOW, SO IF THE DRIVER WEIGHS LESS THAN 110LBS IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. SECONDLY, I BELIEVE THE NISSAN ALTIMA BRAKES FAILED IN THE ACCIDENT. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER PICKED UP THE CAR ON ITS FLATBED, HE SAID THAT IT APPEARED THERE WAS SOMETHING FUNKY WITH THE FOOT BRAKE, IT WAS ROCK HARD WHEN COMPRESSED. THE ABS COMPLETELY FAILED, I NEVER FELT IT ENGAGE AFTER PUSHING FIRMLY HARD ON THE BRAKES. THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS ON THE ROAD. I NOTED THE ROAD WHERE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED HAD TWO TYPES OF FLUID ON IT, ONE OILY ONE LIKE COOLANT. THE CAR WAS RECENTLY SERVICED, BY NISSAN VAN NUYS, THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR DROVE INCREDIBLY WELL FOR A WEEK, BUT THE LAST FEW DAYS I NOTED THE SLUGGISHNESS AGAIN RETURNED. MY TIRES AND BRAKES WHICH WERE ALL FINE. THEY DID REPLACE THE BRAKE FLUID.

Summary

WHILE ALREADY IN MOTION THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED EXTREMELY SLOWLY ONCE AGAIN AS I HAVE REPORTED ON THIS WEBSITE BEFORE, BUT THIS TIME IT WAS MORE DANGEROUS BECAUSE AS I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY, I WAS PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR AND WHEN THE RPM GOT TO 2000, IT STOPPED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING EXTREMELY SLOW. THERE WAS A 18 WHEEL TRUCK APPROACHING ME FAST FROM BEHIND, BUT I COULD NOT GET ANY SPEED. LUCKILY HE SWERVED ON TO THE NEXT LANE AND PASSED ME. THE RPM METER STOPPED AT 2000 AND IT TOOK 22 SECONDS TO GET FROM 60 MPH TO 75MPH AS THE VIDEO SHOWS. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES DURING THIS DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO RECORD EACH INSTANCE PANNING FROM THE GAUGE DISPLAY TO THE ACCELERATOR SHOWING I AM PRESSING IT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T RESPOND. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN AND WHEN I SHOWED THE VIDEO TO THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, HE IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO BLAME THE ISSUE ON MY FLOOR MATS. HE SAID THAT IT APPEARS THE FLOOR MATS WERE PREVENTING THE ACCELERATOR FROM GOING DOWN THUS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT GAIN SPEED. HOWEVER I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THAT IS NOT THE CASE AS THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR AT ALL. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE MY FOOT PRESSING IT DOWN ALL THE WAY WITHOUT ANY INTERFERENCE FROM THE MAT. IN ADDITION, IF THE FLOOR MAT WAS PREVENTING THE ACCELERATOR FROM BEING PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN AS HE CLAIMS, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO GAIN SPEED, ALL BE IT EXTREMELY SLOW? THAT RIGHT THERE PROVES HIS THEORY WRONG BECAUSE IF THE ACCELERATOR WAS INDEED STOPPED BY THE MAT, THEN THE MPH AS WELL AS THE RPM WOULD MAINTAIN AT THE SAME RATE. I ALSO REMINDED HIM THAT THIS HAPPENED ON A LOCAL STREET WHEN I WAS ONLY GOING 35 MPH AND THE ACCELERATOR WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WHERE NEAR THE FLOOR BOARD. NISSAN ADVISED ME THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND ARE CONTACTING NISSAN TECH SUPPORT FOR DIRECTION

Summary

FOR THE SECOND TIME WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, THIS TIME ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. I PRESSED IT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE RPM WOULD NOT GO UP AND THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. IT HAPPENED BEFORE ON A LOCAL STREET WITH THE SAME SCENARIO. ON THE FREEWAY I WAS AT 70 MPH WHEN IT HAPPENED AND ON THE LOCAL STREET I WAS AT 35 MPH. IT STARTED ACCELERATING AFTER I HAD TO LET THE CAR CRUISE FOR ABOUT TEN SECONDS AS IT WAS LOSING SPEED. ALSO I AM NOW HAVING TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO SERVICE FOR THE 5TH TIME BECAUSE THE REVERSE BACK UP CAMERA WILL NOT WORK. THE CAMERA GOES BLACK AND NOTHING IS VISIBLE. NISSAN TRIED TO SAY IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY PHONE CONNECTED TO BLUETOOTH IN THE CAR AND TO TRY IT WITHOUT A PHONE CONNECTED. I DID AND IT STILL HAPPENED. I RECORDED A VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT AGAIN BUT IF I CAN'T HAVE A PHONE CONNECTED TO BLUE TOOTH TO BE HANDS FREE, THEN I AM VIOLATING THE LAW. I CAN'T SEE BEHIND ME WHICH IS VERY TROUBLESOME WHEN IT IS FOGGY OUTSIDE AND CAN'T SEE VERY WELL OUT THE WINDOWS. I HAVE PROVIDED TO IMAGES. ONE SHOWING NO BLUETOOTH DEVICE CONNECTED AND THE OTHER WITH THE BLACK REVERSE CAMERA. *BF *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING CHRONIC ISSUES WITH ENGINE ON MY 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. INITIALLY (11/2016), THE CAR WOULD "JUMP/SKIP" WHEN I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATOR AND EVEN FEELING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF ON ME. WHEN I CALLED I WAS INFORMED IT WAS DUE TO DEFECT AND IT WAS ON RECALL. THE ISSUES APPEARED TO RESOLVE UNTIL 11/2017 I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE BUT WORSE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND BACK HOME. THIS OCCURRED ON FLORIDA TURNKPIKE AND LOCAL HIGHWAYS. CARS WERE HOOKING AT ME BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO PROCEED WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, EVEN THOUGH I WAS FLOORING THE CAR PEDAL. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP, I WAS INFORMED IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION AND THEY HAD TO REBUILD IT. AFTERWARDS, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR CUTTING OFF ON ME AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. I BROUGHT IT BACK, AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CRANK SENSOR. THEY REPLACED IT BUT KNOW THE ENGINE CONTINUE TO SOUND LIKE IT IS WORKING OVERTIME TO PERFORM AND MAKE A CONSTANT HIGH PITCH SOUND. I AM BRING IT BACK TO THEM A 3RD TIME TO INVESTIGATE.

IN AUGUST, THE VEHICLE AGAIN HAS THE LIGHT ON, TAKE IT BACK TO DEALER; THEY REPLACE THE FIRST SENSOR (THE ONE THAT WAN'T BAD) AND THE LIGHT GOES OFF. HOWEVER I AM TOLD THAT THE TECH THOUGHT IT MAY BE A WIRING HARNESS ISSUE; "LETS SEE IF THIS CORRECTS IT"; SINCE THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY IF THE SENSOR IS BAD!! DECEMBER 19TH; DRIVING IN A SNOWSTORM, THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. SINCE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE IT AS WITHOUT THE SENSOR; THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. SO HERE WE ARE THIRD TIME TO GO OUT; AND IT SEEMS LIKE WIRING SHOUDL HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT FIRST.

THE STEERING WHEEL COMES CLOSE TO A FROZEN STATE, HALF WAY WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER. IT HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES IN A MONTH OR TWO(SEPT/OCT-2017). I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MYATT NISSAN IN SALISBURY, NC. IT TOOK THEM 3 WEEKS TO REPAIR IT DURING WHICH I HEARD CONTRADICTING STATEMENTS FROM THEM. AFTER A WEEK IN THEIR SHOP I WAS TOLD BY ONE PERSON(WEST) THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM(WHEN ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS DROVE IT). THE SERVICE MANAGER(ROGER) DENIED IT NEVER HAPPENED, BUT THEY CHANGED THE ELECTRICAL STEERING PUMP FOR FREE ANYWAY THOUGH IT WAS 14,000 MILES ABOVE THE WARRANTY. THEY EVEN DOCUMENTED THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM, BUT CHANGED THE PUMP ANY WAY. THE REASON I WANT TO REPORT IT IS OF THE CONTRADICTING STATEMENTS AND THEIR EFFORT TO DOCUMENT IT AS NON-ISSUE, BUT CHANGED THE PUMP ANYWAY. CLEARLY THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING. STILL NOT SURE IF THE REPAIR RESOLVES THE ISSUE AS I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT ENOUGH TO VALIDATE FOR SURE.

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 11 NOV OF 2016, THE DAY OF PURCHASE THE LEFT PASSENGER WINDOW WOULD NOT GO DOWN. THE NEW CAR WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER THE DAY OF PURCHASE FOR REPAIRS. THREE PLUS WEEKS LATER, AROUND 12/03/2016 I HAD TO CALL TO FIND OUT IF THE CAR HAD BEEN FIXED. NO COMMUNICATION FROM THE DEALER.

Summary

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT I HAVE OWNED ABOUT 6 MONTHS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD VERY WELL WHEN IT IS RAINING. IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE WHEN IT IS RAINING AND IT IS SCARY. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER NISSAN'S, A 2007 ALTIMA AND A 2011 ALTIMA AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE WIPER BLADE IS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE WINDSHIELD TO CLEAR IT PROPERLY. I MENTIONED IT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICEMAN SAID THEY HAVE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL. I ASKED IF HE THOUGHT IT WOULD HELP TO REPLACE THEM AND HE SAID THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE. WE WERE IN PANAMA CITY, FL LAST WEEKEND AND HAD OUR SON-IN-LAW AND GRANDCHILD WITH US AND IT STARTED POURING RAIN. WE COULD BARELY SEE, THEY WERE TRYING TO LOOK OUT THE SIDE WINDOWS TO SEE HOW TO STAY ON THE ROAD. IF THE WIPERS WOULD CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD PROPERLY THIS WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. WE WERE ALL SCARED TO DEATH. WE WERE BARELY MOVING AND WAS RIGHT AT OUR CONDO. IT WOULD BE NICE IF A RECALL COULD TAKE PLACE TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THIS ISSUE. THE WIPERS WON'T EVEN CLEAR A BUG OFF THE WINDSHIELD IF YOU WET IT WITH WIPER FLUID AND TRY TO RINSE IT OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

Summary

MY 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA SR STALLS/LOSES POWER WHILE ACCELERATING, LIKE INTO TRAFFIC, OR WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND THE ACCELERATING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CAN'T DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND CAN'T DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT ON FEB 29, 2016 THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW PART PERTAINING TO THE BRAKES WHICH CAUSE IT TO NOT ACCELERATE WHILE THE BRAKE IS APPLIED BUT THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THAT WAS INSTALLED. THE ISSUE HAS ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAPPEN AFTER THE CAR HAS SET FOR AN EXTENDED TIME (WHILE I'M AT WORK, ETC) USUALLY AFTER IT HAPPENS IT WILL DRIVE AND FUNCTION AS NORMAL FOR SOME TIME. (PROBLEM WITH DUPLICATING IT BY THE DEALERSHIP) THE DEALERSHIP HAS MY CAR AT THE PRESENT TIME BUT PLANS TO RETURN IT TO ME WITHOUT SOLVING THE PROBLEM. MY FEAR IS THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE IF ITS NOT SOLVED.
