general problems of the 2014 Nissan Altima - part 2

Tl- the contact owns a 2018 Subaru outback. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph when the vehicle's front windshield suddenly fractured without any impact. The contact stated that the fracture has grown in size. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealership. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 23,000. Gl.

The vehicle stalls when pulling from a stop sign or stoplight. The vehicle restarts without issue then will stall again when engaging into gear. This happened at highway speed also with the car turning completely off. After exiting the highway, the car restarted without issue and was able to continue off the road. At a stoplight, it stalled again in the intersection. Research online shows multiple complaints on this vehicle similar to my complaint. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and I don't think I will drive it again.

My vehicle stalled while I was stopped in traffic when I attempted to restart my vehicle and move it . It would start but when I attempted to shift from park it would stall again. I had to get the vehicle towed when taken to the shop nothing appeared when scanned and days later the car began to move again.

Transmission has been shuttering during driving and it is a known problem with Nissan and they do not want to cover the cost of what they caused.

Takata recall my 2014 Nissan Altima started losing power and stalling while driving on the highways back in may 2019 with no indication why as there was no �check engine light� and it was taken back to the dealer and whatever they told me to repair I did. It continued sporadically stalling (losing power down to under 30mph)in June, July,August & now September-during this time we have replaced the battery, change the filters, finally tuning up the car last week Wednesday! didn't drive it Thursday-Monday now this morning Tuesday it stalled and start losing power again! still no check engine light and now after taking it back to the dealer this morning I was just called by conicelli service rep telling me the transmission is gone!!! at 125000 - 5yrs old ! this is unacceptable because this is our 8th Nissan and all the previous ones last up to 27700 miles and never replaced a transmission!! this is definitely a lemon and Nissan USA needs to do something! replace the transmission or buy it back!!.

First, the cvt blew on a 70mph highway. Got that fixed, Nissan north America and mentor Nissan helped. Nna paid 70% of a transmission. They are also reimbursing me for towing. Then, I have video proof, that after the recall, the OCS light is on while I have passengers in the car. Lastly, rear suspension arm rusting out (photo proof). This car is no longer safe to drive! the whole car should be recalled!.

I puchased the vehicle in 7/2016 used with 47,000 miles. Never ran great. Needed new cvt transmission at 63000. Miles. Was repaired . . Now 99,347. Miles failure of cvt trasmission again. Car only 5 years old. Dealer says not their problem vehicle stopped at a light. Would not accelerate when stepped on pedal. Cars driving toward me in anticipation of me moving put me in grave and dire harms way.

Cvt transmission shutters, slips and shuts down the engine when stopping. Diagnostic was performed at dealership and resulted in bad transmission. Also passenger airbag deactivates intermittently even while someone is sitting.

While on a 70mph highway, my vehicle started sputtering and would not retain speed. I kept my foot on the gas, and it was losing speed at an alarming rate. I was now going 35 on a 70mph road. I pulled to the berm, with my hazards on, and tried to regain normal highway speeds. Found a safe spot to park, had to have it towed (usaa insurance) to a mechanic. Mechanic could not register code, he towed it to another mechanic. Cvt transmission went. Known problem with Altima's. Nissan knows of the problem. Had to have it towed to my home state ($500, no receipt, as it is not here yet). Need to take it to an authorized Nissan dealer and pay for it out of pocket(37-3900, no receipt, can not afford it). Had to rent a car to get home ($300, my sister rented it). I had children in the car, ready for vacation, and they were scared we were going to get into an accident because of the cvt transmission issues. So far, I am out of pocket 571. 62, not to mention the almost 4 thousand dollars I am facing.

When coming to a stop sign or a red light the car shuts dow. And the car bucks when you try to start it again. After several attempts it may ot may not start again. The car was in motion when this happened.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Nissan Altima while driving at low speeds the accelerator pedal was applied the vehicle slowed down and stopped. The check engine warning indicator light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to san leandro Nissan 1152 marina blvd, san leandro, CA 94577 (510) 826-1462 where diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced . The vehicle was repaired but, the failure recurred, the manufacturer was contacted who provided case number 37771869 but , did not assist. The failure mileage was 97,000. Ap.

Jerks when turning on won't turn on inconsistent battery and check engine light will feel jerky and has jerked forward at stop light when my foot was on brake pedal has jerked in reverse while in drive and vice versa amongst other concerns. Very inconsistent with this very unpredictable have already gotten serviced 2 times under warranty and purchased from certified preowned Nissan dealership etc docs can be provided upon request.

After driving for a little while there would be no warning no lights come on and I would come to a stop at a light, stop sight, or traffic and then when I go to accelerate again it would not do anything for about 5-10seconds then would eventually take off at a high rate this is very dangerous and there is no stopping it if a car is coming from another direction it could easily end up in a very bad accident and there is no stopping it.

Transmission will go back and forth between dying and reviving up. Seems to be a very common problem, but no recalls. Per Nissan now, the transmission is dead and needs to be replaced.

Acceleration issues. Sporadically the car will do nothing when we step on the accelerator. It is dangerous because it happens randomly and we essentially have zero power to move. After holding the accelerator down for a number of seconds the car will then abnormally start to accelerate and rev up on rpms but will not accelerate as normal. It's as if the transmission is thoroughly confused. I continued to drive the car and it could never get over 60 mph regardless of how far I stepped on the accelerator. I have video of the behavior. The issue continues at random times and we feel incredibly unsafe when we are in traffic because the car will idle forward but do nothing even when accerator is depressed. I took it to the dealer with video of the vehicles crazy behavior; they have told me that the computer says nothing is wrong with it. They tell me to continue to drive until it gets worse. This is not acceptable because we are at risk of an accident when you try to accelerate but the car does nothing but idle forward; it catches us off guard and we are concerned about idling into on coming traffic when making turns. I have contacted Nissan who said they have no interest in watching the video and that the computer indicates nothing wrong with my car. We are incredibly worried about driving this car and feel Nissan is covering up an issue. It was admitted to me by the dealer that this is a common problem with many of their cvts; it is evident in consumer information on the internet as well. I get the impression Nissan has no interest in the safety of the community; starting with the fact that neither the dealer nor consumer affairs has interest in watching the videos showing the very serious issue. I can provide video to NHTSA upon request. Thank you.

The vehicle was in motion when the rpm dial started to move up and down and the car started to slip gears. The car was unable to go into top gear, struggled to go up hills, began shifting gears erratically, and could not acelerate past 40 miles per hour. The car felt very hurky jerky and the ride was the oppposite of smooth. This persisted for over several miles. I got the car to the Nissan dealership the next day. According to a class action lawsuit I am involved in that Nissan lost, on June 9, 2019, Nissan was supposed to fix this issue, but they are refusing to make amends for the issue with the transmission on my car. The case is christopher gann et al. V. Nissan north America, case number 3:18-cv-00966, in the u. S. District court for the middle district of tennessee. My car is at the rockland Nissan dealership right now at 845 -358-6700 and they want us to pay for them to diagnose the car because the car is out of warranty even though according to the legal deal they made they are supposed to extend our warranty 24 months or 24,000 miles and pay for any servicing of our transmission.

My car started "sputtering" and shutting off when in motion or coming to a stop. The car then started to rev the engine between 2-3rpm when I was driving at a constant speed. When I was driving on a major highway, the car revved past 4rpm and completely shut off without warning. I was luckily able to stop the car, but no one should ever have to endure that dangerous and potentially catastrophic event. I took my car to the Nissan dealer and they said that my transmission needed to be replaced. It is apparent that Nissan had knowingly sold cars with faulty transmissions that would fail far before an acceptable time with many consumers facing the high cost of repairing the transmission. As I was hoping this was a one-off situation and that no one else experienced this, but it looks like this is a frequent complaint for the Nissan Altima 2014. Nissan should be held responsible for the transmission replacement and extend their power train warranty to 120,000 miles or 10 years as they have for their car models from 2003-2010.

Transmission, called "throw away transmission" by 3 different mechanics. Code came on during freeway driving. Have been told by 3 mechanics (including the Nissan dealer) nothing can be done but replace the transmission.

I have a 2014 Nissan Altima that revs up while I;m driving and then stops. I turn it off and start it again. It does this constantly. It's very dangerous because I'm driving and all of a sudden, I hear a revving up sound, the car starts to hesitate,, it slows down and then comes to a complete stop. It doesn;t give me a chance to pull off the road. I have to immediately put on my hazard lights. It stops without warning. Once I hear the revving up sound, within a few seconds she hesitates, slows down and come to a complete stop. Very, very dangerous. The car hesitates when making turns also. Car does not accelerate if you stop at a light like she suppose to. Let me explain. When I'm at a red light and the light turns green, I put my foot on the gas and the car does not accelerate, she hesitates, go slowly, then kicks in and allows you to proceed. I'm very afraid to drive it. I have heard others and on the news say peoples experience with their Nissan Altima shutting down just like mine. For me its shutting down everywhere. It's happened on the highway, street, always when in motion, during turns, after stopping at a red light and its time to proceed. I've almost gotten hit by other cars many times when she suddenly stalls. Something is wrong with this vehicle. I don't have video of incident because it hasn't had an accident yet, but I'm sure an accident can happen at any day. I'm nervous every time I drive it. It's the mercies of god that I haven't had an accident. Please note I was almost in an accident that would have badly injured or killed me when I was making a left turn on hwy 78. The car stalled while making a left turn. The SUV almost hit me as I was making my left turn and the car stalled and the SUV stopped just as it was about to hit me. I was shaken up so badly, I had to park my car and calm my nerves. This shouldn't be happening. It's a dangerous car.

Cvt dtc code p17f0 brought the car to the dealer to have the cvt fluid changed at the 60,000 mile service. The dealer showed me the dtc code indicating that there is a cvt problem. The dealer also stated that when the 2014 Altima with an l33 engine came out, Nissan was changing the cvt because the code indicates an imminent failure. The dealer stated that since then because it cost Nissan too much, Nissan has started to rebuild the cvt and the dealers have a trained mechanic to rebuild the cvt and correct the cvt judder code. The dealer stated they would contact Nissan and advise what how Nissan will correct the deficiency. Now over 2 weeks, the dealer has not returned my phone calls to advise how Nissan will handle. My wife drives the car with my young daughter and I travel for work. I am now concerned the cvt will be problems when I am away and could inadvertently cause a traffic accident when she is driving if the cvt fails. This should be a safety campaign that the NHTSA takes on and pursues. Nissan knows about their problems and eventually when there is a failure on the highway someone will get killed or it has already happened and the causal factors have not been identified attributed to the accident. This is a major safety concern and it seems like Nissan is not concerned or performing a recall just as the way Nissan is handling the takata air bag problems in their cars. Further, it is extremely interesting that when the car has been in for pas service, the other Nissan dealers did not do the quick simple check of the codes to ensure there were no problems. Wouldn't it benefit them as it could produce business?? how stupid and poor service we receive from the dealers.

The transmission is delayed once it gets to 2000 rpm and is not changing over.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled out at a stop light and would reeve up but have no power even with pressing on the accelerator. The dealer crown Nissan of decatur 165 w pershing rd, decatur, IL 62526 (217) 615-1047 stated that there was an internal failure of the transmission. They open a case on behalf of the contact with the manufacturer and will reimburse the contact 90% of the repair costs. The repairs will be putting in a re manufactured transmission covered by a 12 month or 12,000 mile warranty. The contact researched online that there was a class action lawsuit filed against the manufacturer with the re manufacturered transmission having a history of failing. The failure mileage was 68,000. Tf.

Cvt failed on the highway with 90,500 miles on car. Vehicle was in motion at highway speed then suddenly slowed almost to a stop. Dealer tried to perform the cvt programming recall but said transmission was shot. $4,500 to replace. One owner car all highway miles.

Don't have to really say much because it's pretty much all over the internet but that transmission is a piece of junk!! it was slipping repeatedly from around 50,000-104,000 when I got rid of it. It would also stall out (yes on a cvt) from time to time in stop and go traffic. It got to a point that I was scared I was going to be stuck with a car with no resale valve (because of the transmission) and owe a $14,000 payoff balance with the bank. So I traded it in and got a f-150. I believe all jatco transmissions should go under an investigation because this is not safe for american roads.

At 53,000 miles the transmission would no longer function. Transmission had to be replaced. At about 130,000 miles I notice that when headlights were on low beam you could barely see the road at night time. So I did some research on thi vehicle what I found out was on Nissan Altimas manufactured between 2013 -2015 have the same problem. You do not have sufficient lighting on low beam. You have to use high beam on dark roads. This is a major safety issue with these vehicles. I have had the Nissan dealership in my local area new port richey put in the exact bulbs car came with from factory same issue poor lighting on low beam. I then had Nissan dealership put in bulbs that I purchased on line these bulbs put out 8000 lumens and these bulbs are led bulbs. The factory Nissan bulbs put out 1200 lumens and are halogen bulbs. Both sets of bulbs I got same result insuffiecient lighting on low beam. The Nissan technician told me I would have to replace both headlight assemblies at a cost of $700. 00. I feel these headlight lens were a manufacturing defect without question therefore I feel Nissan should be held liable for replacing the defective parts. I have receipts from dealership for work performed. I have also filed a complaint with the bbb autoline dept, and filed a compaint with Nissan consumer affairs. This is a very hazardous situation and god forbid someone will lose their life over something like this.

Have had jerking and shuddering problems while trying to excel, several months after purchasing my car in 2016. At that time it had approx. 24,000 miles on it, the dealership took care of the transmission issue. I just recently took it back again with the same issue the car had no power when trying to excel onto the highway ,and was very hesitant and unsafe. The transmission had to be completely replaced! the vehicle only has 43,000 miles on it ,which leaves me very concerned, and with my warranty almost up. I am very concerned as I see this is an obvious problem with this vehicle, that I consider still new.
