Hello I purchase a 2013 Nissan Altima in may of 2013 with 20 miles on it. . This year in April of 2014 I starting have problem with the transmission. I was on the crescent city bridge coming home from work with alot of traffic my car all of a suddenly just slowed down and will not pick up speed I push the accelerator all the way to the floor and the car still will not pick up speed. I than took it to Nissan and they had it for a day called me to come get it said they restarted the transmission. . Okay. After a week later it happen again on 5-14-14 again they kept it for another day and called me to come get it. . I asked them were they sure it want do it again because I was scared it will get me in a car accident and hurt some one. . The man at Nissan said everything was okay. . So okay again it happen to me again with my son and grandson in the car this time. Again slowed down and will not pick up speed on the bridge causing cars to blow at me like I just stoped on top of the bridge. Again I took it to Nissan again on the 5-20-14 they than keep it and put me in a rental for 2 days. They again said they fixed the problem. So I go to get my car and yes again it happen again. . So the man at Nissan said wad car was still under warranty but wanted me to give them $240. 00 for something that was still underwarranty so I am still stuck wit this problem. What do I do next. Wait til someone get killed or hury in this car. . I dont understand whats next. So I hope this help me out before its to late.

I purchased my 2013 Nissan Altima 3. 5sl one week earlier. As I was driving I noticed that when I began to accelerate and get to 20-40 mph the car would jerk violently as if my car was in the wrong gear. I took my car into the dealership and they did a software update on the transmission and kept my car for 4 days. They put 75 miles on my car to "ensure" they corrected the problem. I picked up my car on the 4th day and drove 2 miles from the dealership and encountered the same jerking and shuddering problem. I turned around and went back to the dealership where I was greeted by a service manager that insisted we go for a drive to see if he could experience what I was talking about. After taking the ride he explained that he did feel the jerking and shuddering but it is within normal limits. I was told to contact Nissan USA and make a complaint but the dealership really does not want to do anything further to correct the issue unless they are contacted by corporate. I do not feel safe in this car!!! I am afraid this car is going to stall on me at the worse possible time.
Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph the vehicle began to surge. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The mechanic and service manager test drove the vehicle and felt the surge however stated when inspecting the vehicle the failure could not be duplicated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 7 and the current mileage was 500. Dt.
During coasting/deceleration from 35 down to 20 mph, the car will provide a sudden jerk at 25 mph while the a/c is on max. This devolved into tire skidding after a couple weeks while the dealership was test driving it for replication during the week of 8/20/12. The replacement car that I received on 8/28/12 started showing the same symptoms at 800 miles on 9/7/12. Current diagnosis of the manufacturer of the original car indicated the car required a new cvt. At the time, the eta for replacing the cvt (on the original car) was at least 3 weeks.
