1 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 03/07/2018

I started experiencing problems with my vehicle about a year ago. While driving the car seem to not change gears. I had to coast to the side of the street, turn the vehicle off and restart it which made the vehicle to what I call "reset". This did not happen again until months later. Now my vehicle from time to time, while driving the vehicle seem as if it will not go when I accelerate from a stop in traffic. I thought it need transmission fluid. I discovered that it requies ctv transmission fluid and can only be done at a dealership which was not true. My local certified transmission repair center said they could perform a diagnostic for $99, which we did. We are now being told that the transmission need to be replaced and that this was a problem on most of the Nissan Altima's. Replacement would cost about $4,800. Why hasn't Nissan recalled these vehicles after so many complaints?.

2 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 10/29/2017

Prior to taking my 2014 Nissan Altima to a Nissan service center for a scheduled routine oil & filter change, my vehicle was running perfectly. The very next day after I had my routine oil & filter change on my vehicle, my vehicle started hesitating in first gear and immediately I took my vehicle back to the Nissan service center the same day of the occurrence and I explained to the Nissan service center representative that my vehicle started hesitating. (the day after I had a scheduled routine oil & filter change). When the Nissan service center diagnosed my vehicle I was told my cvt transmission indicating a bad internal sensor within the transmission and I would need to pay $3,800 dollars to repair my cvt transmission. I explained to the Nissan service center rep. My vehicle was just at the Nissan service center yesterday for a routine oil & filter change and there was no warning lights or warning signs on my dashboard that would indicate a problem with my transmission. In addition to my vehicle hesitating in first gear it also appeared not to change gears while I was driving in motion on the highway. I told the Nissan rep the amount of money wanted to repair my vehicle was to much money and the Nissan rep stated my vehicle is pass the warranty limit because I have 78,000 mile and my limit is 60,000 miles to be covered under warranty. The service rep stated they can have a sales rep contact me to purchase a new car if I did not want to pay for the transmission repair. After refusing to have my vehicle repaired at that price I picked up my vehicle from the Nissan service center and drove my vehicle home and it ran fine with no warning lights or any indication of any problems. The vehicle changed gears and drove perfectly. I just want to report this issue and to red flag this problem with my 2014 Nissan Altima. If someone's dealing with this issue please advise.

3 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2017

Transmission has failed on vehicle at 63000 miles. The car began jerking and stuttering when in motion and also would not respond to gear change when mov8ng out of park. It would just sit for minutes before moving slowly or jumping violently when switching gears.

4 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2016

I experienced a grinding, shaking noise at 2. 0 rpm. The vehicle was taken in for service and I was informed that the transmission had to be replaced. The transmission was replaced and that was when all of my troubles began. The vehicle would hesitate and jerk while driving at low speeds. There was now a vibration at 1. 5 rpm. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and was advised that a belt was loose. The vehicle was returned to me and it still was not driving smoothly and now the entire gear console was loose. The vehicle would not move from either drive or reverse upon starting, even when the gear shift was moved. It would take two tries each time to get the car to move from park. The vehicle went back into the dealership where the gear console was adjusted. However, the dealership could not replicate the issue - vehicle not moving when gear placed in reverse or drive. This weekend (4/30/16) I drove the vehicle in virginia and had to navigate several high elevations while on the I-81 highway. The car was sluggish at best, dragging and the gears would not change. The car was racing loudly trying to keep up with the speed, rpm was up at 3. 5 and the car was at 50 mles; speed limit was 70. Once I cleared the hill the rpms leveled out to 1. 5 and the car held the 70 mph speed. Note the vehicle was not performing this way before the "new transmission" was installed. I did have the grinding and racing noise at 2. 0 rpm, but no hesitation, jerking or any difficulties in higher elevations. That leads me to conclude that there is something else wrong with this vehicle other than the transmission. I have also lodged a complaint with Nissan consumer affairs whom I am awaiting a response from on my complaint. The vehicle now has 18,694 miles and was purchased in August of 2014.

5 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 04/12/2014

Purchased new 2014 Nissan Altima sl 3. 5l at approximately 2200 miles when accelrating at a stop light the vehicle jerked (as if it could not change gears), happened intermittently at first. Took vehicle to repair shop at 2 dealers in 2 states who could not capture information at that time. By 12000 miles while returning from vacation (1/4/2015) the vehicle was undriveable. Took to local dealer and needed a completee transmission replacement. At this time, vehicle was jerking, missing gears, changing gears independently, trying to go in to a lower gear while breaked at a stop light and engine would rev to accelrate, vehicle shook, and was literally deteriorating each mile. Transmission was replaced, at approximately 14500 miles, the same vehicle symptoms have begun. Took to dealer while traveling, they were able to capture minimal data because as the vehicle began to jerk and shake, their battery died in the lap top. However, some data was recorded. Advised to drive home and file complaint with Nissan motors north America (which I have done,) vehicle will be taken to local dealer for continual study and new transmission replacement. Was advised by repair manager, that transmissions are now being known to seize while being drove. I have requested Nissan purchase my vehicle back, pay off my loan and refund any trade in values and payments made on nmac loan because I refuse to replace a transmission every 2000 miles. At this time vehicle is shifting spuratically at any mileage. More at lower speeds but also at 70mph on highways.
