general problems of the 2015 Nissan Altima - part 2

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle was jerking. The contact was unaware if there were any warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I was in turning lane and when traffic cleared enough to turn I pushed gas, and nothing happened it was just idle, no rpm, no movement let go of gas pushed again barely moved and then didn’t go anywhere. Oncoming traffic at that point was approaching then it engaged and was fine! it did it two more times as I was sitting at light and once while just driving.

Cvt transmission issuses exceleration issues, vibration when trying to pick up speed jerking motion overringing. City highway when trying to pick up speed.

My 2015 Nissan Altima would not accelerate after coming to a complete stop. While I am pressing all the way down on the gas pedal ; the car would not move ; then a few second later it will jump out. I was making a left turn and a car was coming; but luckly he notice I was having problems.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the transmission seemed as if it was experiencing a failure since the vehicle would jerk while driving with an abnormal odor of coolant burning. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,200.

My vehicles transmission I was told it has to do with transmission I thought it was a cv joint I not but it turned out to be way more then then that the accelerator peddle would get stuck and then take off fast almost hit someone.

When stationary it has a delayed acceleration.

While driving the vehicle the rpm's when very high but the car would not accelerate and had to pull over to get out of busy traffic, and when stopped at a light the car would not go when the accelerator was pushed, transmission problem.

Driving down the us23/119 interstate near pikeville, ky the vehicle suddenly started decelerating from 60 mph and would no longer allow acceleration. The vehicle speed kept decreasing until it was going less than 20 mph and th driver had to pull off to the side of the road. After a tow to the Nissan dealership, the problem was diagnosed to be a faulty transmission. The danger was it occurred so suddenly while driving on the interstate with no warning and vehicles easily could have collided with our vehicle. Upon learning of the repair needed I searched for other similar issues with the Nissan Altima. I found there was a class action lawsuit settlement for 2013-16 vehicles due to faulty transmission. The suit settled with an extension of the warranty by 24 months or 24,000 miles. However, this resolution, in my opinion, is not sufficient to protect the consumers from paying often in excess of $3000 for a repair and the risk of life while driving a known faulty product. Nissan should be required to increase the warranty period to be more tied to the life of a transmission and protect consumers of potential injuries due to their known faulty product.

My 2015 Nissan Altima began stalling when I engaged the accelerator pedal. It stalled and eventually sounded as if it were struggling to shift gears began moving forward. While driving 55 mph, I was forced to abruptly engage the brake pedal to avoid crashing into another vehicle; however, when I applied the accelerator pedal the vehicle strained to move forward and accelerate but within a few minutes I was able to drive the normal speed. The vehicle does hesitate every time I drive it.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle intermittently hesitated to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that an unknown warning light illuminated once when the failure occurred. The contact also stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed to the floorboard for the vehicle to respond, causing the vehicle to accelerate at an unsafe, high rate of speed. The vehicle was taken back to the place of purchase but the contact was then referred to another independent mechanic for assistance. The independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with a defect within the transmission and referred the contact to an authorized Nissan dealer to ensure that the repair would be covered under warranty. The contact had taken the vehicle to state line Nissan (10401 madison Ave, kansas city, mo 64114) where they were unable to diagnose the vehicle and refused to service it under warranty. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 63,148.

Driving home the other day on the highway my rpm will go high when pressing the gas pedal but the car would not accelerate and when I asked my mechanic what was the problem I was told me he's sure it's the transmission because it's a known issue with the Nissan Altima ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

I leased this vehicle in 2015 and purchased it in 2018 with 60003 miles. I began experiencing a loss of acceleration from a stop at about 80k miles, it happened intermittently a few times over the next year. My vehicle just broke 100k miles, the issue has become much more frequent in the last month, when pulling out across traffic, when starting from a stop light or sign. The vehicle has little to no response when the accelerator is pressed, or even pressed all the way to the floor. It will sometimes engage after putting the car back into park, and then back into drive. Other times it will very slowly accelerate taking as much as 30 seconds to increase 10 mph. I did some basic internet research and found many Nissan vehicles with cvt transmissions have issues, and subsequent class action lawsuits. I took my vehicle into the dealer, with 102k miles. The dealer diagnosed the faulty cvt, and indicated that my specific model does not have its transmission under warranty up to 120k miles like other vehicles, and that the vehicle warranty is only valid up to 84k miles. I asked for documentation as I could not find any on the web designating this new 84k mile limitation, they emailed me an image of a service bulletin indicating 84k miles as the limitation where Nissan accepts liability for this known issue. This is extremely dangerous as the vehicle will begin to accelerate and then have nothing after you have pulled into traffic. Luckily, I have not been hit while entering or turning across traffic. So it happens when stationary and in motion, on city streets and highways, both turning and going straight.

I have a 2015 nissian Altima n I bought the car with approximately 69k miles and it barely has 101k miles n my transmission is acting up but since it's past 89k they said the recall in no good.

Car will frequently delay moving forward from a stop when pressing the gas. It take about 5 seconds for it to respond. Also the car does not automatically shift when accelerating. I have to take my foot off the gas for the car to shift to stop the rpms from revving too high. This will occurs when trying to gain speed from a stop. These are both safety issues because my cars reactionary time is delayed or impaired.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving 45 mph the contact felt the vehicle jerked and it would not accelerate, and the check engine warning light illuminated. After a couple minutes the vehicle continued to operate normally the vehicle was taken to the dealer but no diagnose. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the contact was unsure what needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 120,000.

I contacted the clay cooley dealership in dallas found at 39690 lyndon b johnson fwy south, dallas, TX 75237 on may 1st, 20202 via chat for an airbag service recall. After over a month contacting the dealership, I have not received one phone call or email from clay cooley Nissan. During this time, I spoke with four (4) different representatives over the chat about the need to schedule an airbag service recall. After the second representative in a period of two weeks, all representatives apologized for no one contacting me about the issue and assured a specialist would contacted me soon. Today is 5/31 and I'm still waiting on the phone call or email. I'm attaching the copy of all chat with the representatives.

Will not accelerate from the start. Has a few second delay before acceleration occurs. This occurs when the car is stationary and need to start accelerating at a red light or stop sign. Sometimes I have to put the car in park, shut it off and restart it while at a red light.

The vehicle was parked. It rained and the water flooded in through some drain. Now the vehicle had 2 inches of water on the passenger side, front and back. I called Nissan and they are not accepting responsibility. The vehicle is developing mold and electrical issues. It is not safe to sit on the passenger side and is a major health and safety issue. This is manufacturing issue but the dealership is attempting to make me pay for repairs since the car is out of warranty.

Transmission stutters while driving. This happens on highways and regular street driving. Doesn't matter what speed.

I have noticed that when pressing down on the the acceleration pedal there is sometimes an extended delay and the car does not move. It does not happen always, but I have read that alot people are having the same issues, and no one seems to know the cause. Personally, after putting the car in park, turning off and turning on the car seems to allow it to accelerate again. My specific experience with this happened twice in a two week span. I was stopped at a light with the brake pedal pressed down on a regular two way roadway. As the light turned green, I attempted to accelerate by pressing the gas pedal but the car would not move, and the rpms would just go up. This same experience happened another time as well. Please look into it as a possible recall for some programming on this cvt transmission, as this could be a very potentially bad risk, especially driving on the highway where losing the ability to accelerate can result in major accidents/deaths.

P17f1 cvt judder code. . . There are recalls on v6 Nissan Altimas from 2015, but it does not apply to the 4 cylinder models, yet the cars are having the same issues. Most likely the transmission will need replaced. Very costly for a 4 year old vehicle ($3500 from non-dealer, $4000 - $5000 dealer estimate). Dealer charges $140 just to diagnose the issue. The vehicle hesitates when accelerating to get on the highway. Transmission company I spoke with said this was the 4th Altima he had seen this week with the same issue. . . . Typically happens between 100,000 - 120,000 miles. My vehicle has 111,000 miles.

Showing code p0841.

While driving on a city street and on a highway it appears that my transmission is jerking and slipping.

The cvt transmission was idling high when driving and while sitting at a light. Without realizing it was the transmission, the car would jerk while on the highway. As the car was driving tland with your foot on the gas it would idle to the top and when it came to a complete stop you put your foot on the gas and it wouldn't move for a few seconds then it would jerk into gear and take out. Eventually it would stall at 2nd gear amd of I was crossing traffic or turning a corner it would stall for a few seconds then kick into high gear with a hard jerk.

Purchased the car in 2016 with 22,000 miles. At the 2nd oil change, Nissan dealership said it needed the cvt reprogrammed. From that point until now, I have complained about juddering, shuddering, delayed acceleration, and just not going when the gas pedal was pressed. The last time it happened before being completely disabled, it left me stranded on an interstate ramp merging into highway traffic, the car just would no go. It acted like it was starting off in 3rd gear, which is very dangerous! when I took it to the local dealership, I was told that if something was wrong with the transmission, the check engine light would come on, but it would cost me $200 for a diagnosis since it was out of warranty. Now, my car has 140k miles and is out of warranty, the transmission needs to be replaced and they still won't do anything about it. I have asked several times about the multiple TSB's associated with the 2015 Nissan Altima 4-cylinder cvt, which my car is, and they've told me that none of them apply to my car. Something needs to be done about this issue affecting millions of customers!.

Intermittent problem the dealer could not duplicate since 25k miles. The car revs and loses speed. Sometimes I press the gas pedal and it will not go for 2-5 secomds. Recently going up a hill the car rolled backwards while I was pressing the gas pedal. Turning the car off can "cure" the symptom until it randomly has the same problem. It is difficult driving in traffic, or deciding to make left turns because I can not depend on acceleration.

While waiting to turn left at an intersection for a break in oncoming traffic, the car will sometimes pause for 2-3 seconds when the accelerator is pressed, as if it were in neutral. This leaves me vulnerable to an accident when it finally kicks in and starts moving. When having to judge and make crucial decisions while driving is complicated by a car that doesn't move when it's supposed to I truly feel it's literally 'an accident waiting to happen. ' I also don't know when it will happen because it's not every time, so I have no way to incorporate that into my decision making while driving. Neither I want to be in an accident, nor do I want to put someone else at risk.

My Nissan Altima 2015 will not accelerate on a highway. It only has 30k on it. I took it to Nissan 2 times for this problem and they told me that nothing was wrong. July 21, 2019, it was towed again while I was on the long trip. Overall, it happened 10 times. Car falls on its face. You are not able to accelerate. I hads to tow it 2 times already. The other times I had to wait 30 min or so. When on highway you go 65, it drops to 40, then 20; it sputters and then you have to stop. My Nissan Altima was moving when the acceleration gave up no matter how strong you push the pedal. The engine light comes on too. I was in logandale nevada. Turned the car off. Then waited. After 15 min, I was able to start the car and drive it barely at 20 min per hour on highway 15 coming from las vegas to moapa paiute travel plaza gas station. This is so dangerous because other card=s do not kjnow that you have acceleration failure and they drive behind you at 60-70 miles per hour and it can be very scary because you have to come to a complete stop as the acceleration does not work and car goers eventually to 0 miles per hour no matter how hard you push the acceleration pedal. Car is still under warranty and Nissan needs to address the issue.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Nissan alitma. While driving various speeds, the vehicle hesitated and failed to accelerate without warning. The contact called all star Nissan (27700 juban rd, building 3, denham springs, la 70726, (225) 272-9330) and informed them of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 85,031.

I have a 2015 Nissan Altima with only 38,500 miles on it. I bought it at 31,000 miles. Me and my girlfriend recently taken a trip to virginia. We were leaving the last day and we came up to the first light away from the place we were staying at. As I came up to the light my car had jerked really hard slowing down and the rpms went way up. I didn't really think that was weird as it has done that before on multiple times. When the light turned green I pressed the gas and nothing had happened for a solid 10 seconds it would only rev up to 2 and wouldn't go past 10 miles per hour. As this light was fast and it was turning yellow as soon as we were going through it the people were honking behind me as my car would not accelerate at all. I pulled over and cut my car off and waited about 5 minutes. I started out again and it had a hard time accelerating and I pulled over again. At this point no lights came on or anything. I thought my car just left us stranded in virginia. I turned it back on again and started out and it was driving normal. I find this unsafe because cars at the light could have started to come through my my car is just teetering along through the fast light.

Takata recall, doesn't accelerate when petal is pressed but instead delays for 3-5 seconds. Then it jerks and accelerates quickly.

Around 92,000 pressed on gas and car would not move, had to press pedal all the way to floor until it caught then it drove. Drove home, shut off, restarted in the morning with no issues. Drove a few more days and it happened again; took to certified Nissan dealership and was told it was my transmission checked out great and it was my "brake sensor" which was replaced, drove another two weeks and it happened again. Took back in and was told I needed a transmission replacement; notes read transmission fluid smelled "burnt" and there were tiny metal particles throughout.

Car does not accelerate if it's been idling for a short period of time, such as the timing of a traffic light. This happens more often if the ac is running. Had to mash down on the gas pedal and the car still lagged. The Nissan dealership claimed to have fixed the problem but this is still a major issue.
