At 97,000 miles the Nissan dealer recommended a transmission oil flush. After the flush the transmission began to slip. I check on line an it is a lot of people having problems with the Nissan cvt (transmission). The dealer told us they will check the vehicle, but it wasn't under warranty, so we must pay for repairs. The vehicle was service on 24 Feb 2020, begins slipping noticeable two weeks later. The lack of power can cause an accident, while pulling from intersections, or driving on the highway.
The transmission is slipping and making a whining noise and needs to be replaced. The car has under 110k miles on it and it should be included in the extended warranty that Nissan has offered to the 2010 Altimas. The problem was not fixed in 2011 and as a result, my car is unsafe to drive.
I bought a 2011 Nissan Altima and at 127,000 miles the transmission is slipping and when it warms up the car will not go over 50 mph. Transmission will not shift. There should be a recall for these transmission from everything I'm finding out about them now. At this point with what this is costing I won't by another Nissan when they don't believe there's an issue with these transmission.
1) when accelerating from s stop, my car will jerk (like the transmission is slipping). It will often jerk while my car is in motion as well. This happens on city streets & freeways/highways. 2) there is also an issue with the "hood latch" not locking completely. It sometimes looks like the hood is going to pop open when driving .
