At 61,000 miles (just 1000 miles after the warranty expired), the cvt transmission failed while vehicle was in motion. It started as a knocking that occurred while shifting gears. The next day, the engine violently fluctuated between gears while going ~60 mph on the highway. It then remained in the high gear after the vehicle came to a stop at a red light.

2007 Nissan Altima - cvt transmission: I was on the pennsylvania turnpike and more than halfway to my destination, as I increased acceleration from 55 to 65 mph, the engine began straining and the tachometer increased to 3500 rpms. The automatic transmission would not auto shift. I backed off the accelerator and maintained a speed of 55 mph. Eventually, I arrived at my destination. On my return trip, the problem occurred again, this time only worse. Again, I didn't push the vehicle to high speeds. By the time I exited the pennsylvania turnpike, I could not accelerate the car beyond 45-50 mph without the tachometer once again climbing to alarmingly high levels. The engine whined as if it were straining mightily to shift into the proper high gear. I immediately drove the car to my qualified mechanic who ran a diagnostic test. Several codes indicated transmission failure. My Nissan has the cvt transmission which I now understand is deeply flawed transmission. I was unaware of the problems with this transmission until I did extensive research of my own and learned that many Nissan owners had experienced situations identical to mine. I called Nissan and a case was created (#34468600). I was informed that Nissan has completely absolved itself of all responsibility since my vehicle has 153k miles on the odometer. At no time since I've owned this vehicle have I received a recall notification from Nissan indicating this problem. This is unacceptable. When a multinational corporation absolves themselves of all responsibility after creating and selling a product that is well documented as being deficient, it becomes eerily reminiscent of Volkswagen's emission scandal and Audi's sudden acceleration problem.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle would not accelerate past 25 mph without warning. The vehicle was taken to sansone Nissan (90-100 us-1, avenel, NJ 07001, (888) 437-1763) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to pay 90% of the repair cost. The failure recurred. The failure mileage was 71,000.

2016 Altima, barely 3 years old, 71,000 miles. About a week ago, the car began to jerk and shudder and rpm's jump up and down when I accelerate from a stop. Before the day was over, it was happening while I was driving (any where from 0-60+mph). Then check engine light came on. When I hit the gas, it may jerk/lurch forward or may not go anywhere. I would have to let off the gas and try again. Some times it would correct itself, other times not and rpm's would stay high-- 3-5. Felt like it didn't want to "change gears" (its a cvt so only one "gear") while jerking and accelerating/decelerating. Very distracting and concerning to say the least. Took it to the dealership today to have the diagnostics ran. Was contacted and told it was throwing 2 codes - sub assembly failure and pressure fluid sensor failure. These are transmission codes. Was told I needed a new transmission, $4200 out the door. . . . . In what world is it "normal" for a fairly new car with no prior issues to have a complete transmission failure?? the dealer agreed there is nothing we could've done to prevent this. I have contacted Nissan consumer affairs and filed a complaint, requesting goodwill assistance with the repair costs. I was told someone would get back to me by close of business tomorrow. This is obviously a defective transmission. Reading these comments, it appears that the replacement transmissions do not perform much better. I will be getting out of this car ASAP.

Transmission failed at 65k mileage.

Replaced transmission at 84000 miles at a cost of $4100 because of shuddering and stalling. At 100600 miles and 11 months later the transmission failed the exact same way again. Nissan would not cover the cost of another replacement. It cost me another $1050 with the help of the dealer and Nissan who know they have a totally faulty transmission and won't acknowledge. It stalled and shutterdat a highway intersection and was a dangerous problem. I am lucky I wasn't smashed into on the highway.

Transmission failed, car being to jerk and jerk then ride out smoothly this happened over a period of time,(5-6 months) then finally it got so bad that you could barely drive the car. Now the care will not drive it stalls and barely move when put in gear, transmission has failed.

When vehicle is put in gear it stalls. Nissan service department examined and is transmission failure. Now needs a new transmission. Vehicle has only 56,000 miles. While driving vehicle was on way to doctor appointment as I was stopping at light vehicle quit running.

The transmission fails to accelerate properly. Had it serviced several times including changing the transmission fluid. Only 85k miles, and the car completely choked only reaching 20 mph while trying to accelerate to merge into the highway. Currently getting serviced at Nissan of bakersfield, have 4 days and no response as to what the issue could be.

Vehicle will not go past 60 mph, then within 24 hours would not go past 40 mph, within 24 more hours, vehicle will not accelerate over 20 mph and has extreme power loss. Was evaluated by transmission shop who confirmed the transmission is failing.

My transmission failed after only 85,000 miles. I was stopped at a highway exit ramp stop light when it failed.

I am reporting a dangerous condition with 2013 Nissan cvt transmission. With no warning indicator the car's transmission failed while driving on the highway at 60 - 70 mph. While driving in moderate traffic, the engine revved to 6000 rpm and the car was moving at 20 mph I was able to coast through traffic to the shoulder and turn off the car and start again and was able to again proceed. This happened several times. After parking overnight, it would no longer move in forward or reverse. The car was towed to a Nissan dealership and was diagnosed with a failed transmission that will cost approx. $3700 to replace. I filed a case with Nissan customer care to appeal to them due to the relatively low miles for such a catastrophic failure. We learned today that they are providing no coverage for us due to the car being out of warranty.

I was on the highway and noticed the revs bounce up to 5. It then dropped down and my car lost power. I pulled on to the shoulder and shut the car off. Started it up again and it started ok. Pulled off onto the next exit and stopped. Went to proceed through stop sign. Accelerated and it wouldn't move. It's at the shop now. Possible transmission failure. Are you kidding me?? this shouldn't be happening in a 5 year old car. A very dangerous problem.

Transmission failed on interstate at approximately 70mph. I was told by the Nissan dealership garage manager that they really don't know why they fail except that they think the transmission overheats due to undersized pump and mesh not allowing enough circulation. Everything was replaced at Nissan's expense, however I have no confidence in the repair. When this happened there was not a single warning light or message that appeared on the dash.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Nissan Altima. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle jerked without warning. The vehicle was taken to kraft Nissan (3277 mahan dr, tallahassee, FL), but was not diagnosed due to the diagnostic fee. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed. The vehicle was returned to the dealer where they recommended that the continuously variable transmission sub assembly and valve be replaced. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. The VIN was not provided.

At 120000 miles the transmission failed on this 2. 5 l engine. We paid $3,000 to have that repaired 10 months ago. Now the car is using about 1 gallon of oil every 3 weeks and we found that cylinder 3 has piston rings that are shot. Our dealership confirms that this engine is known for transmission problems. I noticed that the 2006 model Altima with a 2. 5 l engine had an extended warranty issued because the car uses excessive oil and an engine fire may result. Our newer model with the same engine nearly runs out of oil every month and is very hot. Do we have any recourse with Nissan? anyone else having these problems?.

After driving car for 173000 miles with no trouble transmission failed to shift it,s like completefailurewith absolutely no movement now.

I had my vehicle maintained at the same dealership I bought it from since I first purchased the car and was never notified of the cvt transmission issues. Over the last few years I told them that the vehicle whined when I accelerated on the highway but they never recommended replacing the transmission under the 10 yr or 120,000 mile warranty. The transmission just failed at 136,000 miles and the manufacturer said that they would not honor the warranty.

2008 Nissan Altima. Consumer writes in regards to cvt transmission failure. The consumer stated on more than one occasion while driving the vehicle's engine turned off.

2013 Nissan Altima defective cvt. Purchased a used 2013 Nissan Altima with 62k miles on it and quickly realized I had bought a car with a failing transmission. It has been established that the transmission could fail in a manner that could cause an accident. The current symptoms are poor acceleration followed by a surge in acceleration, shuddering, etc. I have had the cvt fluid changed and reprogrammed twice and the issue still remains. Until I can have the transmission replaced I risk the vehicle suddenly DE-accelerating on the road without brake lights causing an accident.

I bought my car brand new with only 113 miles on it. I have sense put 160k highway miles on it but have had no issues until now because I get it serviced regularly. I was driving to work last week and at 30-45 mph the rpms started jumping between 1k and 2k. Once I got past 60 mph this stopped but eventually my car would stutter and stall at traffic lights making it dangerous if turning in front of traffic or coming through intersections. I took it in immediately for diagnostics and was told I needed a new transmission and since my warranty was out I would need to pay $4500 out of pocket. I got a second opinion and I was told by the dealership I service it at that it was my fault because I didn't have the transmission flushed when they told me to, yet there is nothing in the owners manual stating this is a requirement, only a recommendation by the dealer. As shady as dealerships are these days of course I didn't have it done because I assumed they were charging me for something unnecessarily. I spoke with a mechanic friend of mine and he said the transmission flush would have done nothing to prevent my transmission fail. What is even worse is that no warning lights came on and my dash looked the same as it always does, the only lights that came on were my battery and brake lights when my car shut off at a traffic light, but it started right back up after that. I have asked for assistance from Nissan and have been denied even though I have serviced my car with the dealer even after my warranty expired. There are 4 other people in my family that own Nissans but apparently that means nothing to this company. Needless to say if I can get this thing traded in on a Honda I will never purchase a Nissan again! also, just do a google search of problems with Nissan Altimas. The results are staggering.

Transmission failed at 44k mileage. First the engine shut off while driving without any warning or signs on highway. Then after reprogramming of the transmission by dealer, car runs abnormally. Engine rpm unstable, unpredictable, causing speed changes. No pedal response or slow acceleration. Difficult to accelerate, especially over 40 mph. Gear shifting between d and n very often leave the gear in n for a few seconds.

Cvt transmission has failed. 6 years old. Less than 120,000 miles. Stopped at redlight, could not pull out or reverse, car would only go 3-5mph. Car engine runs fine.

Transmission failed. Took to dealership for repair. They took a transmission fliuid sample and sent to Nissan for testing. Nissan denied warranty claiming the fluid was contaminated. They want $5400 for repair. What are my options?.

Transmission failed. Will not go forward or reverse. Was in motion driving out of my driveway to work. Thank goodness it did not happen in heavy traffic. Nissan has denied the extended warranty.

My 2013 Nissan Altima has 87000 miles on it and had a second transmission failure that needs replacing. This was quoted at $3600+ tax. This failure is due to a transmission fluid pressure sensor going bad that can't be changed alone and requires a whole new transmission. 2 transmission replacements in under 87000 miles is unreasonable.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. While driving approximately 60 mph on an incline, the vehicle inadvertently started to decelerate. The contact had to pull over onto the side of the road because the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was towed to barberino Nissan (506 n colony road, wallingford, connecticut 06492) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

My transmission failed and it only has 70000 miles on it, I know I'm not the only one this has happened to. I think everyone needs to be reimbursed or some form of compensation for this problem.
