Three hours into my drive, I was going about 70 mph and noticed my car started to slow down and was making a noise. I pulled over, got out, checked my power steering fluid. It was fine so I drove off and as I was entering the freeway, I noticed the car wasn't picking up speed again. I drove to the next exit and got off. I literally coasted to a parking lot of an industrial building. After several attempts at trying to leave the parking lot, I noticed I couldn't go up the hill. I waited about 30 minutes, picked up speed and made it up the hill and onto a 2 lane road. I drove to a hotel about 4 miles away, going about 40 mph. I realized that as long as I didn't stop, I would be fine. The next morning I found a mechanic shop, called and drove there with minimal problems. He told me the year, make and model of my car had been having issues with the cvt transmission. He hooked a machine up and it gave him these codes: p0746, p0826, p1778 step motor, p0868. He told me to check for recalls. I was able to drive the car 3 hours back to my house in woodbridge.

Com, carcomplaints. Com, and cars. Com. Nissan Altima owners have secured a settlement offer from the carmaker which would resolve claims that the vehicles' transmissions fail prematurely. Lead plaintiffs alleged that 2013 through 2016 Nissan Altimas suffer from shuddering, hesitation, stalling, and noises stemming from defective continuous variable automatic transmissions. Vaccording to the Nissan class action, vehicles stall unexpectedly, causing them to stop in traffic without illuminating the brake lights. Vconversely, the defect could also allegedly cause an unexpected surge in power, causing drivers to lose control. Vvdespite consumer complaints, Nissan reportedly forced owners to pay for a $3,000 fix that often left them with more defective parts. Case # 42179365. Due to covid, my issue surfaced after 7 year deadline on may 11, 2020. This is wrong and Nissan will not take responsibility for it. I tried to work with madison at Nissan 615-725-7208.

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.

I was driving down the highway and my transmission started making a loud whining noise and revved up to about 6400 rpm's and my car had no acceleration from that time on. . Now I'm facing either paying $3400 for a new transmission or just trashing a perfectly well kept up car. I've always made sure to have my car completely serviced and maintained on time. After this I will never buy from Nissan again. These cvt transmissions are horrible. Nissan is looking after their profit instead of reliability. This is a 2012 Altima with 125000 miles.

Accelerating from a stop sign, about 10 feet later there was no power to the wheels. Neither reverse or forward gears worked and the check engine light came on. Engine runs normally and no abnormal noises. Ended up having to push the car to the nearest safe area and waited for a tow. This seems to be a sudden transmission failure at just over 50,000 miles the shop has quoted me $4000 to replace the transmission citing they have seen many failures on the Nissan cvt's and do not recommend repairing them.

Nissan says my cvt transmission isnt covered by the extended warranty. My car has only 72,000 miles and is starting to show problems. I feel if it doesn't break now it will soon and feel they should honor the warranty that a law suit was filed. The rpms arent climbing when I accelerate and there is a noise when its between 30 and 40 miles an hr.

I purchased a used 2014 Nissan Altima with 58,000 miles. It drove great during test driving and on my way home which is 1 hour away from where I live. By day 2 the car began jerking around 60 mi per hr. And under. I made an appointment to have it looked at my local Nissan dealership. By day 4 on the way to the dealership the rpm would jump up to 4 and the car made a winding noise. It would advance forward quickly and then stall. All of this while driving on a major highway. I came to a place where I could pull over waited a few minutes and then tried to pull off the car would not go anywhere. I finally had to have it towed to the dealership. Nissan has yet to know what the problem is, saying it has an "unspecified code". It's been 3 days. I know there had been a recall on the cvt transmission however I don't see my vehicle VIN on the list.

Cat transmission failure at 129k miles. Winding noise and slipping. Car would not accelerate at any given time. This is a cvt transmission that Nissan has an issue with and refuses to own up to it. Not a safe vehicle to be driving in city or open highways. Nissan want me to pay 3-4 grand to fix. Can someone please wake these people up.

I purchased the 2012 Nissan in 2015 with only 22,000 and something miles. Once the car got to about 76,000 something miles a whining noise started. So now with the car at only 83,074 miles the transmission isn't getting any power. So I turn to read reviews and talk to people only to find out the cvt's aren't worth anything and to get them replaced the price is ridiculous and I can't afford it. But you would think with all the complaints about it Nissan would do something about it. I would not tell anyone to purchase a Nissan ever. Also when the whining would take place the car was being driven on city streets or major highways.

Cvt transmission on the Nissan ultima 2012 has been had given me a lot of problems for the past 6 months. Upon seeing reviews on the internet in hearing a lot of complaints due to the transmission problems with the Nissan baltimore frome yes before the 2012 model up until now that something has to be done to correct this problem with Nissan dealers to fix this brow with all the alter most this having a strong with faulty equipment. It is very dangerous to drive by losing power especially if you only in a state will call several accidents due to losing power to upgrade and wanting noise is just creates a big problem moon in a state if you drive-in in your fewer in a major city with the the vehicle slowing down without your control.

My car started making a whining noise while driving it. Going up the hill my car on a highway in the desert when the speed declined it's from 70mph to 45mph, which I tried to accelerate and it was stuck on 45mph, and almost caused the car behind me to crash into me with my three young children in the back seat. A lot of complaints have been made and nothing's has been done. What does it take a life to be taken in order for a recall. The transmissions on these cars are crap. Every time someone walks into the dealership they seem to be well aware but no recall he been done.

My car is a 2013 Nissan Altima and it just hit 90,000 miles. I purchased the car in March 2013 with 45,000 miles on it. May 25th my car started having trouble. It included going backwards when the car was in drive, losing power as I'm driving, reving/winding noise, and finally not moving at all. Everything pointed a problems with the transmission and to take it to a Nissan dealership. After doing the diagnostics, they said I needed to replace the transmission. Because my warranty ran out in March I asked about the cost of the replacement and was told it was $3,800. I spoke with Nissan consumer affairs on may 29th and was told that the regional consumer manager would call. Jason did call and said he had to research. On Tuesday, June 5th, the decision was that because the car was out of warranty they would not cover the transmission replacement. I asked him about the recall that was issued by Nissan in December 2016 acknowledging the cvt transmissions needed to be reprogrammed and if not it would lead to accelerated damage. I also made him aware that I never received that notice. His response was because I was not the original owner of the vehicle, I did not receive the recall notice. He would not answer how if Nissan knew that the cvt transmissions were a problem on some vehicles why did it matter that my warranty had expired in March. He also had no response to me saying that a normal transmission does not need to be replaced on a car that is only 5 years old and has not even hit 100,000 miles. So although it is a well known issue with some of the cvt transmissions, a recall that is on Nissan's website associated with my VIN number, the acknowledgement that I did not receive the recall notice to bring it in for service, I am stuck with a $3,800 repair bill if I want to fix my car.

I own a 2012 Nissan Altima and the car was running good untill 70000. After 70k mile its started making too much noise and at 80k miles its losing power even if I run the gas pedal all the way. The rpm will staty at 2500 at this point. When I researched found out that the cvt transmissions has design falw and most of the cvt transmission has the same issue. I took it to the Nissan dealer and they said I have to replace the transmission. I cant believe that Nissan cars lasts for only 70k miles. These problems are coming when I am driving on the highway all of a sudden and its very dangerous to drive this car.

I purchased my car in 2012 shortly after purchasing the car I noticed something didn't feel quite right I called the Nissan service dept and explained the issue they assured me everything was okay but then in 2016 I complained to Nissan about the whining noise again and when traveling on the interstate how my car would just slow down with no warning causing the tractor trailer traveling behind me to think quickly and jump into another lane or else I probably would not be alive to be writing you. The next incident was after I exited off of the interstate and stopped at the stop sign once I begin to accelerate my car stalled in the middle of the street causing a car coming around the curve to quickly exit onto the interstate to keep from hitting me. When I explained all of this to Nissan they already knew about this issue and I said why wasn't this something you send out to consumers because if you already know then this isn't the first incident. At the time I reported this I had 119,876 miles on my car the rep proceeded to tell me I was past the extended warranty I said what extended warranty I knew nothing about this and never received anything in reference to this. Needless to say Nissan never followed back up with me and I reached out to them again recently about this same issue and told them nobody ever followed up and I was almost hit once again due to losing power in the middle of the interstate. Took the car in to a Nissan service depart explained the issue once again they said OH there is a service bulletin on the engine but this had nothing to do with the transmission but assured me this was the issue needless to say two days later and $390 later the problem still isn't fixed. This is a safety hazard and one day may cause fatalities. This should be a recall for those vehicles under the warranty. They have lawsuits. . Read more...

When driving in warm weather for 1. 5 hours or more cvt transmission loses power and makes a whining noise. This is a known issue regarding these transmissions and Nissan extended warranty on vehicles up to 2010 because of it. Transmission says it is overheating and puts itself into "safe mode" thereby losing all power and ability to accelerate on hills, etc. I was almost rear ended due to the sudden loss of power and acceleration.

My transmission is troubling when on d car dont or if the car driving all the certain goes to neutral make loud noise on the street.

On April 2018, I visit the Nissan del oeste at aguadilla pr to report noise in the power steering noise, no action was taken, they just said that was normal with all Nissan power steering pump. February 25, 2021 I contact Nissan del oeste at aguadilla pr and notify about the issue of the power steering noise and transmission noise. Appointment for March 2 2021 was set and I notify them with problem. They told me there was not any recall for power steering pump and cvt transmission. I did mention the recalls for 2013 Nissan Altima iaw NHTSA with ref. : st12-009b, ref:ntbb-0176 and�TSB ntb12-081. They inform at the voucher the mileage in and out, they did not took the car for a run of 6 miles like it says on voucher 48133s. The main concern is that the car could have any situation with one of those parts just mentioned during a drive and cause any accident with out having the control. My question is, if there is a malfunction for my 2013 Altima that is already knowledge by Nissan motor comp. And provide recalls why my have to be exclude? the power steering noise is at every moment when on and running, power steering fluid is good. The transmmision is during the driving with some noise after 20 miles drive on highway between 65 to 70 mph and then pressing the brake, the noise feel like it come from the transmmision. Another situation is ocaccionaly some lowt of power and some times accelerate. Brakes pads are good, brake fluid is good. My car mpg is 31. 2 and mileage at this moment is 76,680.

Transmission making noises and causes car to stall I was in the center lane of highway car stalled almost was struck by semi-truck scared us to death I've since read many problems with these units very dangerous I think Nissan should have a recall to rectify this issue for public safety reasons.

I have 135,000 miles on my 2012 Nissan Altima. And I started hearing a whining noise and asked the dealership to check it out about 2 months ago. They said that's just how the Altima sounds. Now I am having to replace a transmission that's going to cost me 4,000. 00. I researched transmission issues on the internet and a lot of people are having the same issues. Going up a hill the car would whine or when I try to accelerate. The car started to jerk upon pulling off and would not accelerate until I let off the brake then tried to accelerate again.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from under the hood. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the transmission was having a failure and drained the torque. The contact stated that the failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnostic test or repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000. Dr.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. While driving various speeds, the contact heard a drowning noise coming from the front driver's side of the vehicle that became increasingly louder.

My 2013 Nissan Altima, which was purchased new has had issues with the cvt transmission since it was purchased. In 9/2014 at 42k miles the transmission failed and was replaced. Now in 9/2017 I am being told by Nissan that the transmission that was replaced by them in 2014 is also bad and needs to be replaced at a cost to me of $4,100. 00. Who can afford a $4,100 repair on a vehicle that is still being paid for monthly, and why is it the consumer's fault that Nissan na is making and selling faulty, unsafe products? Nissan na knows of the ongoing issues with these cvt transmissions, but choses to nothing to rectify the issues. My vehicle will not pull and makes a whining noise while I am driving. This it the same issue that occurred in 2014. While I was in motion on a major interstate the vehicle began to lose power, spudder and jerk, and dropped down to about 10-15 mph. It was a horrifying experience to be in the middle of the interstate traveling at 60 mph, and all of a sudden start to lose speed. I was finally able to get the vehicle to the shoulder safely. These vehicles are unsafe to be driven. I am in total disbelief that none of the agencies charged with the protection of consumers safety and ethical treatment , will or has gotten involved to force Nissan to stop endangering the well being of those of us who drive these vehicles. I am a loyal Nissan owner, who has owned 2 other Nissan vehicles. In fact, I currently own a 1995 Nissan maxima that has never had a transmission issue. How can a 22 year old car still drive perfectly and a 2013 need 2 transmission replacements. Someone needs to hold Nissan accountable for their actions and treatment of consumers, as well as their blatant disregard for the safety of those of us who drive and transport passengers in their vehicles everyday.

Few weeks ago I noticed a whining noise from my car, and then the check engine light came on. I had my brother look at my car because he works on cars and is a mechanic and he said it is my transmission. The car is 6 years old and this shouldn't be happening.

2012 Nissan Altima 2. 5s sedan, purchased new plus extended warranty with 3 miles on it. At 64k miles while driving on the highway after about a. Hour at normal speeds on a hot day the car started making a whining noise from the engine compartment. The vehicle became sluggish and the speed reduced to 60mph. The rpm gauge began to rise ant the car began to decrease it's speed eventually descending to 20 mph while the rpm gauge fluctuated from 2k to 5k rpm. The gas pedal was non responsive except for a louder whining noise as it was pressed . We pulled over for a while and the vehicle went to normal. This exact same issue happened 2 more times before we arrived home. The dealer responded stating a new transmission was needed but not covered they said my warranty was not valid. I complained, they contacted headquarters I guess and stated to me because the car was under 70k miles the company would pay partial for the repair but my out of pocket expenses would have been about 1200. Not only did I think this was unfair but I also didn't have an extra 1200 lyng around. So unfortunately I've been dealing with this issue for years car drives fine for about 40 min. So no long commutes.

First time this happen I was at a light and the car just cut off. Started back up put in drive stalls out when in drive. Took it to Nissan and they told me the next day it's the transmission it needs to be replaced. At this time the car is still under warranty, they kept the car for two weeks telling me they waiting on a approval from Nissan to replace the transmission. Finally I get a call within that last week the car is ready when I get up to Nissan they tell me that the software needed to be updated and that they drove the car to make sure that it didn't stall out again at this time the car had at this time my car has 53,000 miles when all this happened now my 60000 mile warranty is up I have 63,000 miles on the car and it stalled out at me at work. The car starts up fine but as soon as you put it in drive it makes a whining noise and rumbling noise and finally get a cut off also the car when it don't stall it don't go in reverse or don't drive forward.

Steering lock 48700-9n00b went out no warranty Nissan dealership said. We did not get any information on this issue. All they have been doing is giving us the runaround said we could bring it in and it would cost us $1k dollars after parts and labor. This is there issue don't see how they are not responsible to fix the issue. They said there was a warranty on the transmission and the noise while we drive don't know if I will ever buy an Nissan again after not receiving any information on recalls.

When driving vehicle I hear a loud whining noise when accelerating at b all times. And when I put the car into neutral the whining drivetrain noise from transmission goes away. I also hear a rattling noise from center exhaust at idol and notice catalytic converter pipe has rusted out near engine flex pipe.
