Transmission Gear Slipping Problems of Nissan Altima - part 2

I bought new 2009 Nissan Altima from the dealership. The transmission has been slipping when the car starts driving since day one. I was told in the dealership that this is a cvt and it's working that way. My transmission needs to be replaced now at 62000 mi and the warranty is over. I did a research on internet and found out that many Nissan owners have the same problem with the cvt transmission.

Resuming after a stop the car was sluggish. It felt like the transmission was slipping. There were several strong jerking motions for a few seconds. Then when it fully engaged the car lurched forward at a higher than expected speed. I did not have enough reaction time to brake and I hit the car in front of me. I didn't realize what had happened at the time but since then the car has done the same thing starting out from a stop. It happens several times a week. I have to leave plenty of distance between me and the car in front to avoid another accident.

Transmission slipped I was at a red light turned green started to move when I felt a pull back on the car and then car shot forward.

Purchased my new Altima 3. 5 a few months ago. Had a problem the second week, seemed like the transmission was slipping. After stopping at a stop sign, I accelerated but the car wouldn't move. Had to accelerate a lot to get the car to move very little and very slowly. Had I been pulling out in traffic it could have been a disaster. The problem occurred a few times as I parked in a parking garage. Upon returning to the car hours later the transmission seemed fine. Months later after a 3 1/2 hour drive on the highway, I got off the highway exit and the same thing happened. This time it continued to happen at low speeds, the car only accelerated properly at high speeds. The following day (Monday) I drove the car to my Nissan dealer to check out the problem, I never had any warning lights at all. They ran tests, found nothing, road tested and determined I had a defective transmission. Brand new car. This defective transmission could have resulted in serious injury or death to my family and myself. Nissan is replacing the transmission as I write this report, but this needs to be looked into to prevent others from serious accidents. I was lucky.

2005 Nissan Altima. Noticed transmission slipping at 59,000 miles. Took to local dealership at that time. They refused to even consider it a warranty issue because the transmission fluid was not changed at 30,000 miles. Owners manual has several maintenance schedules. Mine falls into the category of substantial hwy. Driving and does not require the fluid be changed until 100,000 miles. I continued to pursue the claim even after the 60,000 mile warranty expiration period. I am now told that claim will be denied because a diagnostic test was not done when I took the vehicle in at 59,000 miles. The dealership changed the fluid on my first visit (at my expense) and very bluntly told me that if the problem persisted, I was on my own. They never offered to do a diagnostics test. The dealership finally did a diagnostics test at 67,000 miles and determined that the transmission was bad, but they will not replace under warranty.

2010 Nissan Altima making a loud clunk noise. Consumer states the noise happens only when it's cold outside, the vehicle is cold, and at speeds 30 mph and less. The consumer stated the noise was so bad, it felt as though the vehicle was going to stall. The consumer also stated it felt as though the transmission was slipping. The vehicle would drag/sputter. The slipping was sometimes accompanied by a rattling noise coming from the underbody which lasted for 3-4 seconds. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problems the consumer experienced.
