I put the car in drive. The transmission grinded and the motor stalled. I was stopped at a red light with my foot on the brake and the motor continued to stall. The transmission clunks and sputters. It only has 58,000 miles. These cars should be recalled requiring Nissan to replace the transmissions.
In August of 2017 I was about to park my Altima when the transmission went out. I attempted to restart the car and the car would not shift into gear. Eventually, after many issues with a Nissan security plus warranty bait and switch issue I got the cvt transmission replaced. I have noticed even on this new transmission it still shudders around 25 mph frequently.
