"takata recall" my gear shifter remains in a stuck position. The car was stationary on a city street. I was unable to shift from park to another gear. This is a major safety issue as I have gotten stuck with my toddler in the car and was unable to move to a safer location. It took me at least 15 minutes to get the car to shift from park into gear. I was terrified! I had to leave the car in its location and take a lyft home with my daughter. The next day my local mechanic came to check the car. He said that this is a common issue for 2013 Nissan Altimas. He said he would have to take the car to his shop to investigate what might be causing this failure or I should call up Nissan because they should be aware of this safety issue.
My car recently today stated to lock the dear shift when I park it started this morning and has continued every time I turn off my car. Previous issue I took it in to Nissan tynans on havana in aurora CO (never go there) because it is sputtering any time I accelerate at any speed on any road right before it would what you call back in the day shift into another gear. Tynans first said it was a battery cable and when it wasnt fixed they are say there isnt anything wrong with the car. I believe the cvt is causing it to sputter I told tynans I thought it was a transmission issue to begin with. Needless to say my car is not fixed and is still sputtering and just bought it owe about $14000 still!.
The gear shift is locked and I can not shift gear from park to drive and neither reverse. The car was parked under my car port on level ground. I started engine, and placed foot on brake and began to shift out of park and into reverse, but shift was locked. I tried to shift to drive but it still would not engage.
The gear shift in my 2013 Nissan Altima stopped working. I looked up the problem on youtube and it said that the brake sensor was not relaying information to the gear shift. The vehicle will not shift into gear. The emergency shift lock must be used to take the car out of park. The problem began gradually, with the gear sift becoming "stuck" when shifting, and in a matter of 2 months, the gear shift has completely stopped working. When the vehicle is going from park to any other gear it will not shift. Once it is taken out of park, it will shift between any gears with no problem, until it is placed back in park.
