Transmission Noise problems of the 2009 Nissan Altima

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...

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.

The transmission in my 2009 Altima began to make a whining noise. It began to shutter and made the whole vehicle respond erratically. When stopped, the vehicle would move forward. Nissan apparently knows there is a problem and extended the transmission warranty to 120,000 miles. The problem is Nissan is replacing the faulty cvt transmission with a "new" replacement faulty transmission. There is no recall on the vehicle. After searching the internet, there are many people having problems with the transmission. There are even videos on youtube documenting problems with the 2009 Altima transmissions. Even after an initial replacement, many vehicles are needing multiple replacement transmissions. To my knowledge, no attempt has been made by Nissan to solve the problem, they just replace transmissions. A recall needs to occur, and Nissan needs to fix the problem instead of replacing it. Once again, there is no recall.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Altima. The contact was driving 88 mph when the vehicle exhibited an abnormal whining noise from under the hood. The vehicle then decelerated without warning and would not accelerate past 20 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer performed a diagnostic that located several failures, unknown to the contact. The dealer then test drove the vehicle and was able to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer advised the dealer that the specifications for the transmission had recently changed and there was an excess of transmission fluid in the vehicle. The dealer removed one half quart of the transmission fluid, but the failure continued to recur. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 41,550 and the current mileage was 42,800.

Rented a 2009 Nissan Altima from avis los angeles airport. Less than 1000 miles on the car and the transmission had a wining noise. The vehicle would rev when excess acceleration and on a hill with oncoming traffic the vehicle went into neutral and popped out of gear. The engine would not engage with oncoming traffic.
