general problems of the 2010 Nissan Altima - part 2

There were 3 incidents. First, I was driving on the washington beltway, in October 2012. I was driving about 65 mph. The vehicle stalled and I coasted to the shoulder. I was terrified. Second, I was driving on I-95 at around 50 mph the vehicle would not respond to the accelerator. I gave it gas but nothing happened. I was able to coast to the shoulder. Third, I was once again on the freeway, traveling at speed and the vehicle was non responsive to the accelerator. I coasted and eventually it did respond. The 2010 Nissan Altima is equipped with the cvt. There are hundreds of complaints all around the internet about this very same problem. . Read more...

I was leaving work when I had no acceleration I floored the accelerator pedal still nothing. I put the trans in park waited 15 seconds and back in drive and everything normal. I recently had it happen again last week. I was leaving a grocery store and it happened in the middle of traffic I pulled to the side for little bit.

While driving home from mexico we stop at the border check point and after coming to a complete stop and trying to accelerate, I had the gas pedal all the way to the floor and the car would not accelerate at all. From there after it did that after everytime time I had to come to a complete stop the entire way home. I have only had this car for less than a year.

Seat slid off the bracket . . Passenger air bag never was on and the trans sometime would not shifed when it should . .

I own a 2010 Nissan Altima coupe 2. 5 and have had problems with acceleration. When I come to a stop, I push the gas pedal down tothe floor and experience very little speed then it accelerates thereafter. I have had problems where there are vehicles behind me at a stop then when its time to accelarate my vehicle takes time to accelarate almost causing rear end accidents.

When stopped at a stop sign pressed the gas. The car moved very slow then sped up very fast then slowed down again. I feel this car is very unsafe. I have read countless same issues with other people on the internet. If Nissan does not recall this car it will kill thousands of people over the coming years. I hope you can help save them.

After driving at highway speeds for several hours , then exiting and coming to a full stop, the auto will barely move in drive or reverse when given gas. This has created a dangerous situation for me when cars come up behind and expect me to pull out. I can only go at 2-5 mph until the cvt transmission finally allows the car to go at normal speed levels. Nissan service advisor in florida, my destination, told me it was a " computer glitch" where the computer was fooled into believing the car was still in highway speed gear and which had no fix.

When at a stop and starting to accelerate, it's almost as if the power train shifts immediately from low or 1st gear to hi and then vehicle starts to lunge and buck. Also, has little acceleration capacity when this happens.

I bought my vehicle in August of 2010. In October we were on our way to florida, and at the end of a full day of travel, aprox 6 hours- we exited i95 in virginia to go to our hotel. When we came to a stop sign at the bottom of the ramp, we attempted to cross a state road to get to our hotel. When I depressed the accelerator the car barely moved and we were almost t-boned by another vehicle. We got to the hotel and after a nights rest the car seemed fine, but the car did the exact same thing the next night. When we got to florida the dealer was unable to find anything wrong and couldn't offer a solution. On the trip back to NY this spring the same problem occurred every day after a long drive, even though we made rest stops during the day. I feel this is a very dangerous situation, not being able to accelerate to avoid a potential accident and do not feel safe driving this vehicle.

My 2010 Altima 2. 5s has poor acceleration after coming to a stop. This is very dangerous, especially when making left handed turns in front of on-coming traffic. I would press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and the car will not accelerate quickly, it's almost like a hesitation or bogg. This issue is worse when the a/c is on. Nissan has not issued a recall, but they really need to, because there are many other Nissan Altima owners with the cvt transmission that are experiencing the same issue. I also own a 95 Altima and have never experienced an issue like this, quite frankly I am very disappointed and concerned with my 2010 Altima purchase because of this poor acceleration issue.

After a hard application of the brakes (abs activates) and stop, the vehicle fails to accelerate at a normal rate of speed. Pushing the accelerator to the floor does not increase the speed of the vehicle. There is a delay before the vehicle will accelerate normally. Nissan reports there is nothing wrong with the transmission or the brakes. The process occurs everytime after the abs is activated and rapid acceleration is attempted.
