When accelerating from 20mph to 40mph the rpms increase to 3rpm and the transmission hesitates to change the gear. It seems to be an issue with the tcm (transmission control module). I bought my car brand new in 2010. It has 220,000 miles on it. I did some research online and saw this us a known issue with the car. Nissan also sent out a bulletin ntb10-121b. They should recall these cars and fix the issue at their cost. Attached is the pdf of the bulletin.
I was owner 2010 Altima . The under excellent maintain. When I buy this . We worry about cvt transimision weak and buy 100k mile waranty. The car only over 125 mile of 100 k the transimision fail. And towing to dealer . The dealer diagnose cvt fail but Nissan refuse dealer replace transimision and request dealer replace tcm(transmission control module) first. That waste my time . 10 days in dealer shop still not any result.
