I was driving my Nissan Altima home from the dealership on a busy street, similar to a highway and it kept stopping everytime I tried to take off. It would drive and turn off I would have to crank it back up and it would drive a bit and then abruptly turn back off. I took it back that same day and was assured nothing was wrong with it. The next month I was sitting at a red light on my way to work and as I put my foot on the gas when the light turned green it pulled off a bit and just turned off and wouldn't come back on. I later found out it was the transmission. My car has not been able to run since April

Transmission issues related to cvt transmission. Causes car to stall or significantly delay when you press the gas. Known issue but Nissan will not cover without a 'diagnosis' which is extremely difficult to get as the problem is persistent but intermittent. Was told only way to fix the well known problem without a specific diagnosis on my vehicle is if there is an ntsb recall. Given the significant risk associated with a car that stalls when you are pulling into traffic or making a left hand turn, I would like the ntsb to be aware of this and determine if the risk to the consumer outweighs the cost to the manufacturer.

I was driving my 2014 Nissan Altima with my 2 year old in the car on the highway when my sunroof shattered, sounding like a gun shot. I had the sunroof replaced shortly after purchasing my car in 2014 for leaks. I haven't had any problems since until today (9/5/18). We were traveling on us 75N near collins road at the time of the incident. I'm not aware of anything that would have caused this random occurrence.

2014 Altima with less than 70,000 miles ac malfunction. Ac is blowing hot air don't understand how such a new car ac is already bad....

The double safety feature of pressing the break to start the car becomes void when the caliper has an issue even without the brake light engaging to show an issue. The car is tricked into thinking that the break is being pressed and will allow you to start it with just pressing the start button. My 8yr old was in the car playing while I was cleaning it and was also able to put the car in gear due to the mechanical system reading that the break was engaged. The car also continues to run after the key is removed and you can drive off with no key in the car. I

Shortly after the first year the car began hesitating and eventually went on to completely cut off while my family and I were traveling. The transmission was replaced under warranty. I didn't have that particular problem for another year after the new transmission. The dealerships would always say they could not supplicate my concern. The problem persisting. I'm afraid to pull out in traffic because it stalls, jerks or hesitates. I won't allow my children to drive it because it is just too dangerous. Both my husband and I have paid taken it for diagnosis the past 6 months. I'm taking it yet again tomorrow. I cannot figure out the pattern. It seems to be worse once pausing after a long drive > 50 miles. While traveling this weekend, I paused at the highway off-ramp and it wouldn't accelerate beyond 15 mph. The check engine light came on this time. I pulled over and cut the car off. It did finally go but the rmps still idled highly. There are some days the problem isn't prevalent and the drive seems smooth. That's what makes it so dangerous. I have to wait until there's no traffic before attempting to turn or pull into traffic.

Took car in for cvt recall on 3/12/2018, car was fine before the recall update was done, when I pick the car up it vibrates on acceleration and going down hills with a locking motion, the car was driving perfect until they did the recall update, dealer can't explain why this problem happens after recall of cvt, clearly it cause a transmission problem after recall is implemented

The hood popped open and flew up while driving, damage to the fender on both sides, roof and hood. Nissan recalled Altima three times in the past to repair hood latches that can cause hoods to fly open however there is no recall campaign associated with enclosed VIN number. Damages were handled by insurance company.

The hood latch is defective-hard to close and becomes a hazard if driven-automatically pops up while vehicle is moving

I've had my sunroof replaced back in 2014- 10 months after purchasing my 2014 Altima because it was leaking rain water into my vehicle. Fast forward to now, it's still leaking water into my vehicle and now I'm seeing reports of spontaneous shattering of the sunroofs. I am concerned about mine shattering with my toddler in the vehicle.

While coming to a stop, the car shook to a stop, engine revved up and shut off.. I was at a busy stop light intersection. I turned car engine back on and press the gas pedal, then car shut off again. I tried one more time and was able to steer car into parlor. We are afraid to drive car, had it towed to dealership. The mechanic has the vehicle gor 18 days and cannot get it to duplicate our problem. I golfed this problems and there is a nationwide problem with cars that gave this type of transmission. The car could shut down and cause accident and we would not be able to prove that the engine turned off. Please help, this is dangerous.

Car purchased in August 2014 just barely 3 years old the ac compressor went out in the car at the end of July 2017. Driving on the the highway no noise the ac started blowing hot air. Turned the air off and reached my destination parked the car and turned the air back on started out cool then right back to hot air turned the thermometer down to 60 no change. Had to drive back home with the windows down but never heard any strange noises while driving or when parked. Took the car to my Nissan dealership and based on my description alone the tech said it was the ac compressor and said that they have been having a number of problems with the ac in this model car and quoted me a price of $1300. Had another repair tech check and also confirmed the compressor was not working and had to be replaced, this tech outside of Nissan said the same thing the Nissan tech said about this model vehicle having ac compressor problems. The car is primarily driven to work and home with a few trips within 600 miles round trip.

One day I was driving on the freeway when my car started accelerating on its own, then slowing down a lot. At one point I had to pull over on the side of the freeway bc the car just wouldn't accelerate even with the gas pedal all the way to the floor. We stayed there for a bit waiting for a tow truck. The car decided to work again to we sped out of there and made it home. The next day I contacted Nissan and told them the situation and they said there was a recall on the transmission and to take it I. to a dealership to the can so a thing they call cvt reprogramming. So I did the next day. The tow truck came and picked it up, took it to the dealership and supposedly they fixed it. So I went to go pick up the car, and at first it was fine, it was jerking just a little but I figured it was because of the reprogramming, the car was still adjusting. Then I got to my first stop light and when the light turned green the car would not go anywhere then is started goi G really really slow and then all of a sudden it accelerated so fast it was scary. I made it about 10 mins out when I decided it needed to go back bc it was definitely not fixed. On the way back I almost got in a terrifying accident and almost didn't even make it. I was at a stop sign waiting to go onto a 2 way street with no other stop sighs. The car was doing just fine so I went for it and in the middle of both streets the car slowed down quite aggressively & there were 2 cars headed taped me on full speed from opposite directions. Terrifying. Eventually I made T back and the guy helping me was so helpful. Gave me a rental and everything. The next day he call and says I need a new transmission and it was going to be $3600. So I contacted Consumer Affairs to see what they can do bc it's not fair that I have to pay for their mistake. And now they won't contact me back and I have no ode whats going on with my car.
