I have a issue with my vehicle going into limp mode due to a safety issue with the tcm loosing programming with the transmission. This is a big safety as I'm on the hi way. Car will go from 75 mph down to 20mph and can cause for severe car accident. I spike to your warranty department and they gave me the run around. I gave them info in reguards to a campaing id# which is a clear issue that these Nissan cars are still having. A recall was terminated in late 2016, yet a bulletin was posted online of it being active as of 1/ 2017 still. I was told that it's my problem now and my issue to have Nissan charge me for a reprogramming of the tcm when clearly this issue is still present in. Vehicles in 2024. Many of times I came close to averting a major accident due to car loosing communications with tcm. Again this is very unfair as to how a dealership can brush this safety issue under the rug by simply telling a Nissan vehicle owner, sorry recall was closed, after less then a year of finding out the issue on a car. Nissan must want someone to end up dead in there cars due to a tcm malfunction with transmission so they can bring this to light again. The service bulletin is still out there on there forums and states nothing about warranty, milage of vehicle or any time frame, yet deny that the issue still exist in there vehicles. I hope you all can investigate this further and have Nissan correct there wrongs and not allow someone to die on any americam road due to there neglect of a still persistant issue. . .
My engine service light is on and I have scanned with diagnostics. The code p0101, c119a, and c1155 with the most likely solution is to reprogram the power train control module(pcm).
Greetings, I am writing this complaint to notify the NHTSA of a deadly problem with the cvt transmission in the Nissan Altima! I have experienced this where the vehicle either turns off, stutters, or and hesitates for several seconds. This hesitation is deadly because when pulling out or merging on to a highway there is loss of power and this will cause a fatal accident due to the vehicle not accelerating as expected. In fact, this issue is so prevalent that nisaan reprogrammed the transmission control module (tcm). This half measure is little too little too late as transmission damage has already occurred and it leads to premature failure. This failure leads to the vehicle being a hazard in traffic. I personally have dozens of accounts where this has happened to me. The most recent was on 12/11/17 while driving on a busy street when the car simply lost power and died in the middle of the street. A car behind swerved excessively to avoid hitting me and in doing almost had an accident with another motorist! the car had to be pushed into a nearby parking lot and was towed to the dealership. The dealership ran a diagnostic and confirmed the transmission needed to be replaced. I found this rather dubious as the vehicle is a 2015. I began investigating this issue further. Upon further investigation, I found this problem is extremly prevalent with this model. There are thousands of incidents of owners having an experience akin to mine. Nissan is aware of this problem and has yet to admit fault. The reprogramming of the tcm is a clear indication Nissan is aware of the issue and is attempting to remedy it by eliminating certain shift points; however, it is inadequate and the damage has already been done. The lives of people are at stake with this transmission! is it just of matter of time before the loss of life will occur because of this faulty cvt transmission! thank you!.
