When coming to a stop the car will shake a little bit and then when I go to accelerate through a light the transmission will slip and the car will just sit there for a few seconds and then the transmission will kick in and there will be a jerk and off I go. This happens way too often. This happens alot. Your entries only have place for 1 date. Bedn happening on and off for over a year.
My car starts to shudder and sound like it's in neutral. I was turning into a store and it stalled, but it then kicked into drive so I could move out of the way of oncoming traffic. I have had it checked by a reputable transmission person and was told to take it back to Nissan because there have been some recalls or extended warranty. I called and long story short, I was told it has no warranty due to being over the mileage and there aren't recalls. I have checked and see some complaints filed back October of 2018. Mine is doing the exact same thing. I see it was some of the models; however, if all of these cars are having the same transmission problem, the warranty should be extended so they can be repaired.
Have shuddering of the car when driving up to 40 mph. Took to the dealership (where it has always been serviced) and diagnostics determined a "bad" transmission with identified "judder" code. However, the extended warranty issued by Nissan to address to this issue does not currently extend to 6 cylinders, of which mine is. I have an issue with this, as my car is experiencing the same issues as stated in bulletin ntb16-085 and ntb15-015g.
Car shudders at low rpm acceleration and sometimes stalls when turning on to a busy street. Told by dealer transmission needs to be replaced. Car has 46000 miles and a branded title. Car restored to perfect condition after minor accident. Nissan refuses to acknowledge any further warranty due to the branded title. The reason for complaint is that there is a high percentage of these vehicles with this same transmission issue. Under normal circumstances the warranty would cover the powertrain for up to 60,000 miles regardless of the extended powertrain warranty that Nissan has granted to other Altima owners with this problem.
While pressing gas my rpm goes up and down really fast even when I'm at a steady pace, the vehicle vibrates and jerks while and motion and has shut off twice while driving. The vibration occurs while in motion. Once while driving the car wouldn't drive over 20mph then it shut off. Often times when I make a complete stop then proceed to go the vehicle does a hard jerk. This has been going on for several months. I've contacted Nissan and they have done nothing to assist despite the fact that I notice on different forums lots of people complaining about the exact same issue starting with the 2013 model and 2015. This car is dangerous and can really become deadly for consumers while randomly shutting off while in motion. I purchased my vehicle with 13000 miles and now its at 25000 theirs no reason thousands of others should be complaining about the same issue with the exact model as mine. This issue has been going on for months now.
