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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cvt transmission was built poorly, the transmission is slowly destroying itself causing a loss of power, high pitched whining noise and eventually fail. The date I selected for when it happened is the date I noticed the issue on my vehicle.
Cvt transmission and (un)"safe mode" this has occurred on multiple trips on the highway at speeds 60-80 mph that are usually in excess of 70 miles. The vehicles transmission will go into "safe mode". The vehicles transmission will no longer rev above 2900 rpm which inhibits the vehicles ability to maintain safe highway speeds especially if any sort of incline is introduced (it is hard to maintain a speed of 45mph and there is minimal ability to accelerate). The only remedy I have discovered is to let the vehicle cool down. After the first occurrence at ~ 40,000 miles the vehicle was taken to the dealership who stated they could find nothing wrong with the vehicle (codes or obvious defects). After the second occurrence the dealership stated that they could not find an issue, however Nissan extended the warranty out to 100,000 miles. The transmission will still go into safe mode from time to time and has additionally began making a quite obnoxiously loud whining noise (at ~ 60,000 miles, similar to when a power steering pump is a about to fail).
