The vehicle stopped on the road with no fault indication. On a long high ambient temperature drive from nashville, TN to florida, we exited the expressway stopped at a traffic light made a right hand turn and after a brief acceleration all propulsion to the wheels was lost while the engine was still running. This happened at 12:30 am, the next morning went to the vehicle to see if it was heat related, and the vehicle would start to accelerate to a low speed and then engine torque would drop and vehicle would roll for a while and then accelerate. It would take 4- 6 seconds to accelerate up to 35 mph. Drove to the dealership that was a few miles away. At the dealership they found multiple diagnostic codes related to the transmission: p1700, p1778, p1740, p0868. P0746 they needed to replace the transmission to fix. Amongst all of this there was never a fault indication to the driver. The vehicle quits on the road with trouble codes in the control module and no indication to the driver to give a chance to service the transmission before catastrophic failure. Along with the lack of acceleration with no driver notification (was evident that the engine torque was backed off due to transmission dtc's).

I'm experiencing whining noise while accelerating and decelerating. I did some research and lots of people complained about the same issue. Nissan did extend the warranty on the earlier models. However, it doens't include my model and year.

While driving on the interstate with 2 infants in cars seats as well as 3 other adults the vehicle lost power. It would not accelerate. Within minutes the steering was stiff and was extremely difficult to turn. Pulled off the interstate and onto a side road. The vehicle finallt decellerated to a full stop. Turned it off and restarted a few moments later. Vehicle ran again but no steering. Popped the hood and looked and no power steering fluid in the well. Added fluid and steered ok till 4 blocks from my house at which time the steering acting up again and not accelerating no matter how far you push the pedal. Turned it off and restarted again. Steering not working but accelerated enough to park it at home. Took to my mechanic but says he cannot look at it until Wednesday. Was so scared cause had the grandbabies in the van.

Failure of cvt transmission at only 73,000 miles. Nissan replacement transmission comes will only a 12 month warranty.

When at a stop, or a very slow speed (less than 2 or 3 mph), and then attempting to accelerate, the car does not respond right away. There is a 2 or 3 second delay then the car jerks forward and accelerates. The dealership has changed the transmission twice, but issue not resolved. When dropping vehicle off to dealer, the dealer shuttle van, which is also a Nissan Quest, was exhibiting the same issue, which I felt and the driver also acknowledged.

While taking my van out of parking lot, the van wouldn't accelerate despite the fact that rpm guage showed proper rpm. I tried to back the van, but same situation. I checked any warning sign such as check engine but there was no such sign. Eventually the van started accelerating very slowly and picked up some speed. I straight reached to glen burnie transmissions shop and their master technician conducted the diagnostic and a drive test. He then informed me that antifreeze from radiator has mixed into transmission and caused the transmission totally damaged. He told me that it need a new transmission and radiator. The estimated cast is $4595 plus tax. I then checked with the local Nissan service and theirik service technician said that it is a very common problem in pathfinder and Quest even without warning. He gave me the repair estimate of $ 7500. I am truly upset with this manufacturer major defect that cause so much economic loss to the customer. I would realy want Nissan to repair this for free. While driving to the transmission shop the van wouldn't pick up acceleration at the traffic lights after stop and all the vehicles behind me were jumbled up and it made a safety hazard for motorists as well as for the pedestrians in the crossing.

We purchased a 2013 Nissan Quest in November 2015. It had around 48-49k miles on it and currently has 99k miles on it. While driving it yesterday, it began to violently shake upon acceleration between 0 and 45mph. It felt exactly like driving over rumble strips. We took it to the closest mechanic, who test drove it before pulling it into the garage to check the axels. When he went to put it in reverse to back it out of the garage, the transmission completely quit. The mechanic informed us at that point that Nissans with the cvt transmission were notorious for having these types of issues. No check engine or transmission lights ever came on.

Van started to have problems with the acceleration, I stepped on the gas and it didn't responded until several seconds later (5-10), it started slowly and then it accelerates slowly. Every time the vehicle stops, the transmission doesn't work. The check engine light came on, I took the car to an autozone store, and they found the error code p1778, which is cvt transmission error. I took the van then to the dealership and they told me that they found the same error code, and they told me that the transmission needs to be replaced at approx $3800 dls. The van has 76,000 miles. And so far, I've seen numerous sites that have claims and list problems with Nissan transmissions, and Nissan is not taking care of customers. This is a very serious problem that can cause an accident if you are trying to cross a street and the car doesn't respond. Also its very disappointing that Nissan doesn't help or doesn't have a recall to replace the transmission or fix this issue.

Cvt started slipping around 115,000 miles when taking off on incline. Really bad slipping and had fluid changed at 121,000 miles. Surging and losing power on the interstate in traffic. Went completely out at 130,000 miles leaving my family stranded.

Van has had issues slipping on hills after stop with gears grinding and jerking. Brought in to dealership and they could not replicate. I mentioned I thought it might be transmission and how we can do preventive maintenance. They recommended flushing transmission fluid for $125 which I did. Less than month later, slipping still occurred on hills after stops. On way home this past Saturday, I was going about 30-40 mph when there was a stop light on a slight incline. I slowed down to about 5-10mph when the light turned green. I then pressed the accelerator pedal and the gear grinded and I had no power. As I pressed the gas no power was coming to van and I had to pull over. I had to turn off the vehicle and wait a minute or so and after starting the car, the vehicle seemed normal again. I noticed the check engine light also was now on. Brought the van in to dealership and after doing a drive test and replicating on a hill, they confirmed the slipping. They also did a diagnostic and confirmed transmission needed to be replaced to tune of $4100. Looking up this case there appears to be numerous problems with Nissan cvt transmissions. Nissan also provided an extended warranty for prior van models from 2003-2010 to 100k miles. My vehicle is a 2012 Nissan Quest with 81k miles. With all the Nissans having cvt transmission issues, it appears there is a pervasive issue that needs to be addressed by Nissan.

Cvt transmission gave out at 64k miles power train warranty only good thru 5/year 69k miles dealer refusing to fix/pay for repair even though there are several instances wheee they have extended the warranty to 10/year 139k miles engine light started to flicker at about 57k miles but stay on no performance issues noted at the time lengibevwarning light would go off so could not get a code started to notice no exceleration when gas peddle was press finally engine light stated on and got a p1778 code and took into the dealer with above result.

Jerking motion: sudden twitching and oscillating motion of acceleration and deceleration. After driving normally for about 10~30 mints, it happens at about 2000 rpm ~ 2500 rmp on uphill (with accelerator gentry pressed down). It stopes when I release the accelerator, when the engine comes down to below 2000 rpm. Https://youtu. Be/7vclguaumoe.

When the transmission is in drive, there is almost no power. I pulled into a car dealership to look at some used cars. The van's engine was running and the transmission was in park. When I put the transmission back in drive and pressed the accelerator, we moved forward very slowly. Low and over drive were no better, but reverse seemed fine. Forward gears have very little power.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Quest. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the cvt failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 71,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Car started throwing out service engine codes and the vehicle will not go into any other gears and is having trouble speeding up past 15 miles per hour. Started ay 114342 miles. Occurred after a clunk sound while driving on the street and had a hard time making it up the hill to our home.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Quest. While in park, the vehicle failed to start. In addition, while driving various speeds, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate and the transmission warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission and multiple parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 114,000.

My 2011 Nissan Quest is having issues with the transmission. On two separate trips this summer my Quest has seemingly been incapable of down shifting to gain power during passing or climbs. This only happens during several hours of extended driving time but during normal around town driving it operates without incident. I have now had my Quest serviced at two separate dealers, one in florida and the other in ohio, both found nothing at all wrong. Incident one occurred in late June 2016 while in the appalachian¿s during both the destination and return trip (return trip after a dealer transmission service). The vehicle would not travel faster than 50-60 mph while climbing even with the acceleration pedal completely pressed. No engine lights come on and the engine temperature was normal. Driving conditions were six passengers with luggage and 95+ outdoor temps. Incident two occurred in late July 2016 while traveling in fairly flat michigan and ohio. In this case I was able to maintain 80mph but unable to accelerate to pass. But one very dangerous incident and in fact almost causing me to be rear-ended was while in stop and go traffic I tried to accelerate and change lanes but had zero power pressing the peddle completely down. Driving conditions were five passengers with luggage and low 70s outdoor temp. I currently have a Nissan corporate engineer scheduled to evaluate my vehicle.

The car would stall and the steering would go out, which was very dangerous. It happened daily since may of 2016. In order for the car to go from stopped to a starting position, it would take all of my strength to push down on accelerator to get the car to move.

I believe a sensor somewhere is going out. The transmission intermittently will "miss" a shift, or come out of gear. If I let my foot off the gas and then give it gas again, it will sometimes "slam" in to gear. When it is acting up, it will also take a couple seconds to go in to drive from park or reverse, then it "slams" in to gear. It also is lacking in power, almost as if a vacuum advance was not working properly. This seems to happen when it is warm. Once, after replacing the battery the vehicle seemed to work fine for some time before starting to act up again.

Jerking transmission while accelerating above 40mph; at speed cruising going up and down hills; and decelerating from 70mph. Occurring more often while on cruise control setting.

During 05/05/2016 started having transmission issue, the car suddenly started giving starting problem and then when it will start it will not have any pickup in drive mode. After few hours everything went normal and when started driving all of sudden break got pressed and car couldn't go anywhere and check engine light came on. After diagnostic it found to be bank 1 camshaft sensor but even after replacing vehicle still behaves same with engine light on.

Our minivan was stopped at a light and wouldn't accelerate when pressing the gas, it hesitated for a few seconds and then jolted forward, causing the vehicle behind us to drive off road to avoid a collision.

Noise, vibration and sounds indicating imminent failure of one or more valvetrain components in the vehicle's 3. 5l v6 engine. Problem is known to Nissan; addressed in a service bulletin in 2004. Company failed to remedy the defect, which consists of premature failure of timing chain and/or valvetrain components, including variable valve timing module and parts. The problem is currently the subject of class action lawsuit.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Nissan Quest. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the vehicle then stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. Ah.

Engine control module [ecm] due to a bad design,rain and water from melting snow leaks onto the ecm and destroys it. I have been told that this is a common occurrence with the 2004 Quest and that Nissan had a secret recall on vehicles up to 8 years old. While driving on a busy highway at 60 mph the vehicle suddenly slowed to 20 mph,I was lucky to get off the highway safely. Why did Nissan not notify all owners.

^ months ago tranimissin started to jerk, found online that this is a common issue with Nissan 3. 5 transmissions. Looked at ways people had fixed the problem. Replace 3 tranmission solinoids. Worked great for 3 months after repair today it jerked really bad and the now it will not accelerate. I have to drive in low to go anywhere because I have 5 children and this is my only car I have to pick thgem up from school and take my 100% disabled wife to and from doctors appts. This is just rediciulous that Nissan knows their is an issue had thousands and thousands of complaints and yet will not do anything for the people that have issues with their cars. They will not even try give a discount on parts and labor for the people that have these issues.

When you start to take off at stop sign or red light the transmission jerks an knocks when it starts changing gears . An sometimes cuts the engine off sometimes inmiddle of traffic. <my two grankids have to ride inn this poj >.

Our 2011 Nissan Quest is having issues with the transmission. At high rates of speed, such as on the freeway, especially when the car has been running for awhile, the transmission begins to make a ringing type sound when accelerating. It also struggles to downshift properly, taking several seconds to engage in the downshift for more power and then jerking roughly. It has left us vulnerable to a situation in which we could crash by not being able to get out of the way of another vehicle quickly. According to our mechanic at our service station, this is an ongoing issue with Nissan's gearless transmission system and has been recalled on several other Nissan vehicle models.

The transmission on my 2005 Nissan Quest went out while on vacation in north carolina from out of state in June of 2015. Just replaced the timing chain today 12/16/15 am losing faith on Nissans reliability.

I was driving my van and I came to a stop on a hill and it wouldn't go, I had to push the pedal to the floor to go. And it won't go in reverse either. I had power problems years ago but turning my van off and back on 'fixed' the problem. Also the timing chain issue has been going on for years.

Attempting to get on the interstate. Accelerated, but rpm's went up to 5 or 6 but the speed did not increase. Husband tried to manually shift, but vehicle would not go into overdrive. We pulled off the road, turned vehicle off and restarted. Vehicle reacted correctly to accelerating with just a little sluggishness. Transmission fluid was checked and it was fine. Unfortunately, day trip was cancelled and children were very disappointed, because we were afraid to be too far from home and not be able to get back.

Widespread transmission problems ranging from rough shifting between gears, hesitation while accelerating and sudden stops or jerking.

My vehicle jumps at 35 miles per hour and makes a loud clicking noise from the timing chain .

When put in gear or stop and go jerks very hard and some times don't want to go.
