general problems of the 2013 Nissan Altima - part 2

Gear shift got stuck in park one day at grocery store. When trying to shift out of park the gear shift will not shift. We had to engage the shift override button using a screwdriver. This is dangerous because having the shift override button exposed makes it easy for anyone to shift the car out of park accidentally. We plan to take the vehicle to a dealer on 10/1/2021 to have it inspected. Second issue : low beam headlights are very dim not bright at all making it difficult to see at night without using my high beams which is dangerous to myself and other drivers.

When trying to shift out of park the gear shift will not shift. We have had to engage the shift override button using a screw driver. From what we have researched online it has happened to many people with a 2014 Nissan Altima. This is dangerous because having the shift override button exposed makes it easy for anyone to shift the car out of park accidentally and without mashing the break to do so. We have had this inspected by a mechanic and it was going to cost over $1000 because we would have to have the entire shift assembly replaced rather than just the part affected by this issue.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the gear shifter would remain stuck in the park position and a screwdriver was used to unlock the gear shift lever. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the gear shift actuator was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 44,000.

I own a 2013 Nissan Altima sv with about 70,000 miles. It had an extended warranty, that expired late may 2021 and started have problems thereafter. The cvt transmission would cause the car to lunge and stall when shifting from park. The car would stall once you backed out onto the road. Several times at a busy traffic signal, the car would lunge forward, even though you had your foot on the brake. I had the car towed to the local dealer after the first incident. They kept the car about 4 days, but mainly worked on the recalls. They said, nothing showed up on diagnostic. However, I drove my car south about 1000 miles and the situation became worse. Made an appointment, at the local dealership and drove my car there. Within 1 hour, the service guy stated I needed a new transmission, a $5,600 repair. It was mentioned that I may want to contact Nissan about the situation. By reading many reviews, this is a serious problem that Nissan should fix. S.

Cvt transmission failed when driving on interstate. The car lost power, jerked and stopped. I have a special needs child (3 year old) in the car during the incident and it almost put both of our lives in danger. We followed all the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations for the engine and transmission and changing the fluid and filters at the proper recommended mileage and time. All services including a transmission fluid (last one on Dec 2020) were done at the dealership. There are absolutely no warning signs. There are no diagnostic codes also when tested at the delership. No warning signs also. This is the scary part of the problem. It just broke down all at once in the middle of interstate. When towed to the dealership, they said, it would cost about $4500 to replace transmission. My car has only 75k miles on it and Nissan extended transmission warranty up to 85k miles. Dealer refused to repair/replace the transmission indicating Nissan had already settled a law suite which covers only up to 7 years or 85k miles whichever occurs first. Since I used it for 9 years, they refused saying law suites are settled. We understand all cars have repairs, but not $4500 kind. When approached Nissan consumer affairs, they mentioned they are not going to help and gave me an address if I would like to approach an attorney. It's clear on the call with Nissan that customers are not important. They know that their cvt transmissions are faulty. I'm sure they have an army to fight their faulty transmissions. But for an average customer with very limited resources, this is injustice. They know, we cant fight and few complaints will not hurt their sales. There are many reported customer issues related to cvt transmission. Please do something about negligence of Nissan installing faulty transmissions and gladly selling remanufactured transmissions at $4500. This is injustice to an average customer. Hope this complaint helps some current and future customers.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while at a stop sign, the vehicle began to hesitate and jerk upon depression of the accelerator pedal without warning. The contact also stated that an abnormal whining sound would emit from the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure persisted until she started driving above 40 mph. The contact called an independent mechanic who informed her that the failure appeared to be related to the transmission. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

The original transmission on this car failed and I had it replaced at a Nissan dealership. In less than two years, the new transmission also failed. I was driving on the highway and transmission gave up and the vehicle would not accelerate putting my life and others' life in danger/unsafe. I contacted Nissan consumer/customer service and the case manager was not helpful and literally, stonewalled my concerns. Gross negligence by Nissan about the vehicle owners and their safety. The Nissan Altima cars that were manufactured between 2013-2015 are pure lemons.

1. The vehicle component that failed was the transmission. The manner in which it failed was total, rendering the vehicle unable to move under its own power. This failure occurred while moving in traffic on a heavily trafficked divided highway. 2. The driver and other occupant of the vehicle were put at great personal risk by being in a disabled vehicle amidst surrounding traffic moving at 40-60 mph. Occupants of an additional vehicle that stopped behind the disabled vehicle were also put at great personal risk for the same reason. Law enforcement officers who arrived to assist were required to block multiple lanes of oncoming traffic with their duty vehicles. These law enforcement officers were further put at risk by having to push the disabled vehicle 100+ yards through traffic at the aforementioned speeds before it could be safely moved off the roadway. Passing motorists were at great risk of colliding with the disabled vehicle throughout the incident. The total duration of the disabled vehicle being stuck in traffic as described was in excess of 15 minutes. Due to luck and the actions of law enforcement officers, no injuries or fatalities resulted. 3. This mechanical failure has been diagnosed by both independent and manufacturer certified dealer repair shops. 4. T he vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturers authorized service representative, the dealer. Law enforcement officers assisted in recovering the vehicle and confirmed it was disabled. Insurance representatives have not yet inspected the vehicle. 5. There were no warnings or any other sort of indication from the vehicle prior to complete and total failure of the transmission. The vehicle has been properly maintained per manufacturer specifications and is under the mileage at which any reasonable motorist would expect a total failure of this component. 6. After being notified of the above, manufacturer refuses to repair vehicle with a safe transmission.

Cvt- erratic shifting, shuddering . The same well known problems that Nissan knows about.

2013 Nissan Altima just went dead while driving on street. Got it towed to garage, garage said cvt dead, transmission needs replacement, $$$$$, very unhappy.

While I was driving and had stopped at a red light. When the light turned green the vehicle wouldn’t move and instead shut down. It would power normally again, but when the car is shifted into drive, the car shuts down again. This is incredibly dangerous as my car was stopped in the middle of the road during rush hour. I was lucky to not have been hit. There were no warning signs. It happened very suddenly. I took my car to the dealership and they said my car needs a transmission replacement (car is a 2013 and 61k miles). I found out that there was a class action lawsuit that took place in 2020 for the very problem in the make, year and model of my car (cvts in many 2013-2016 models). Nissan never recalled the transmissions but instead settled for an extended warranty which ended may 2020 for me. Now it is may 2021 and my transmission needs replacing. This problem is not only a part of the class action lawsuit that is already settled, but there are countless accounts of this problem still happening to people. Nissan is failing to take accountability for their faulty transmissions, which is a danger to the public. I’m am asking that NHTSA pressures Nissan to recall all cvts and to reimburse people for their cvt repair costs.

When driving the car the acceleration is hesitant. When sitting at a red light and go to accelerate there is a delay in which the car won't move. When driving the transmission does not seem to want to shift. This happens both on a street and highway. This has happens multiple times. I just bought the car about 1 year ago. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

I had to replace the transmission in my 2013 Nissan Altima. These transmissions are defective and dangerous as can be seen by the numerous complaints and class action lawsuits. The NHTSA should hold Nissan responsible for the cost of the replacement.

I purchase my 2013 Nissan Altima 1 month ago well when I went to get in the car and drive the car would not go in drive or reverse when I hit the gas it did nothing had it towed to the shop where they told me the transmission was bad the cvt transmission had went out and they stated that it was a lot of recalls on 2013 Nissan Altima transmissions the warranty will cover up to 100,000 miles I only have 100000 miles on net at the moment when it went out the shop is trying to charge me $3,500 to fix it well actually they wanted $4,100 out the door but I explained to them I only had the car for 1 minute and just paid $4,000 cash to purchase the car they felt bad and said that they would do the job for 3500 since it's a recall for the cvt transmissions I'm trying to figure out how do I submit a claim so I can get help in trying to fix this car I don't have $3,500 to give these people when I just spent $4,000 buying the car can I get some help please I was driving on 95 all of a sudden the speed broke all the way down to 20 miles per hour I proceeded to pull over on the side of the road cut the car off crank it back up it will not go and drive or reverse I had to have it towed to the shop and that's when I found out that the cvt transmission was bad also the converter but mostly the cvt transmission.

P17f0 is the diagnostic code that I received after taking my 2013 Altima sv 2. 5 to a mechanic due to loss of power, horrible gas milage and a heavy vibration/rumbling noise coming from the front of my car.

While driving the car completely stopped moving, transmission locked up. My repair shop couldn't fix it or figure out what was wrong with it. Car has been sitting for weeks while trying to get in contact with Nissan who has told me that there was a recall on my vehicles cvt transmission and they had never sent out a recall notice to me and I've been the register owner for years.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the gear shifter failed to shift from the park position. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure was diagnosed that the gear shifter assembly needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle was still at the independent mechanic for repairs. The contact stated that the local Nissan dealer informed her that this was a known failure with similar vehicles. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 187,000.

Car does not move even if I put it on reverse or drive or any other gear. Tow it to nearest mechanic, was told the transmission is blown.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated on several occasions the gear shiftier would become stuck while in the park position. The driver was unable to immediately shift out of the park position to the drive position. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 180,000. Jft.

Known issue of cvt transmission needs replaced. . . Original owners did not receive notification and was denied warranty when presented the issue.

The car starts jerking when getting up to speed if you accelerate slowly.

The car has a shutter, jerking, high rpm, loss of power, driving the car down the road and it all of a sudden blasted up to almost 7000 rpms and violently jerking and shuttering while driving down the highway at 75- 80 miles per hour almost causing me to crash the car, it then lost power with me pressing my gas pedal all the way to the floor, it's a huge safety issue and Nissan needs to fix this before people get seriously hurt or even die.

The air bag light activated and the engine rpm dropped while driving. The engine accelerator lost power, then picked up speed after pushing on the accelerator.

Vehicle stopped automatically (by itself) while in motion. Lucky that it was in a parking lot otherwise this could have been a fatal accident. When taken to the dealer, they mentioned its an issue with the transmission and will need to be changed. Looking it up on google made me understand that its a common issue with Nissan Altima and Nissan has not taken any steps or offered any help to its customers to support fixing the issues. Its a disaster waiting to happen, kindly take some actions!.

While driving the vehicle on open highways the vehicle will experience a loss of power and engine shuts off resulting in loss of steering and breaking. Vehicle will also experience the same issues while driving in the city streets. When coming to a stop the vehicle will lose power and breaks will not work. This has been occurring since November 2019.

(1) the passenger side airbag light is faulty. It is always lit as �off� even when there is a passenger on the seat. (2) car jerks when changing gears. I was reversing into a parking space. When I tried changing gears from reverse to drive, there was a delay and then the car jerked. As I tried to slowly accelerate, the car would not advance as it normally should. I then parked and the car began to accelerate/ rev while in park. My car is up to date on everything. I'm afraid this could happen on a busy street or highway. Please help.

Without warning my car stopped accelerating. It died at in intersection and had to have it towed to a dealership. The problem started on the highway and the car died at a busy intersection. Car has 123000 miles with never an issue with cvt. . Dealer told us it will cost 4,000 dollars to fix. Transmission shouldn't fail at 123 000 miles.

Vehicle would not accelerate when driving, stopped at a red light and when the light turned green the vehicle would not longer move. Had to turn the vehicle off and restart to get it to move and even then it took a second for it to start movong. No warning lights were given and no previous issues. Took it to get a diagnostic check and was told that those vehicles have shown transmission issues. Called Nissan and they told me they were unable to assist.

Purchased my car in 2014 with 36000 miles. Around 55,000 miles the gear shifter completely went out. Now I'm at 107,000 miles and my car is stalling when stopped. The car is not reading anything on the diagnostic tests at the dealership and no one is able to tell me what is wrong with the car. I live in a high traffic area so this is a very big deal.

Vehicle lost power without warning when stopping at traffic lights, intersections, stop signs or whenever the brake was used to come to a complete stop. Engine completely dies but will start again but cannot be used to propel the vehicle forward or in reverse. A transmission specialist (aamco) diagnosed the problem and stated that it was the transmission.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while at a stop sign and the vehicle did not start. The vehicle did rev and the vehicle did not move the vehicle was taken to monken Nissan (1741 w mccord st, centralia, IL 62801) 1n4al3ap2dc183694 no warning lights illuminated. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. Bh.

The vehicles low beam lights are dangerously dem and hard to see with them on. They have gotten worse over time and putting in new expensive headlight have not helped. The transmission still sometimes in a higher rmp. I have to tap on the brake to get it unstuck in that rpm.
