I was driving on a city street and came to a red light, when the light turned green it was as if my car shut down. I was unable to accelerate, break, turn the car off and place in park. The car coasted as if it was in neutral and I steered it to the curb. I slammed on breaks as hard as I could and the car jerked so hard. I was able to get it in park but the car wouldnt turn off for about 30 seconds. I was finally able to get it turned off and started again and drove it home (less than a mile) and parked it. I am terrified to drive this car

Vehicle drives but when you reach 25-35 miles per hour it jerks, also 65 miles per hour it jerks then it looses power, vehicle comes to a stop and it does not move. This vehicle is not safe to be on the road. Nissan needs to correct this issue before somebody gets injured.

Bought this auto new and from beginning had problems with rough or stuttered shifting when climbing hill (worst), descending hill, driving on flat areas, depressing or releasing gas pedal. I let the maintenance dept know when getting car serviced at three months and was told this was normal! sure. I brought this up again two more times and they could find nothing wrong. After the recall came out on the transmission control mod, the fix helped somewhat. Now a few weeks later, it is worse than before, especially in the hills. This fixed didn't help and more investigation needs to take place in order to find the problem and fix it correctly. This had being going on almost 4 years from the date of purchase to yesterday last day driven. Sooner or later the transmission will quit working from this trouble.

Gear shift will not come out of park. Multiple tries sometimes makes the solenoid release, but dealer says the mechanism needs to be replaced $700. Many complaints on the web, but no recall.

My Nissan Altima 2013-only has 51,000 miles. I driving towards the gwb and was sitting on heavy traffic heading to the exit when my car started to vibrate and then shut off. All the light on my dashboard came on. I put the steer back to park. And restarted my car, it vibrated a little more when it shut off for the second time. I tried a final time to turn my car back on, which finally did not shut off and was able to drive to work. I was super scared as I was on a major highway, lucky for me it was heavy traffic and the other vehicles were driving slower than usual. This is not safe as I usually drive with my 6 year old with me. I got to work I looked up what had happened to me and there are tons of complains about the same issue with the transmission. I don't know why Nissan has not addressed this issue. I cannot say this car is reliable anymore. I called my dealership and taking the car in tomorrow. I am hoping they can change my transmission as I am still in warranty.

My gear shift is stuck in park

- Apex, NC, USA

First, my car would hesitate to change gears when started. While at a complete stop my car started with a jerk and the RPM needle would flutter. Next, I would attempt to accelerate from a complete stop and the car would hesitate to move. I'd press the gas and go nowhere with the RPM needle at its max then suddenly take off until one day I started the car and it would not move. I had the car towed to my local Nissan dealership and was advised it was valve and cvt related. Long story short, I repaired what they said I needed to repair, $1400 and 2 days after I picked the car up, the same issue occurred, jerking at complete stops and the engine light came on 4 days later. Nissan Consumer Affairs would not help me even though they've honored certain VIN numbers for the same problem. So my car is currently in the shop, again, 5 days after I paid $1400 for a 4 year old car that had been diagnosed me sent home with a clean bill of health.

My transmission jut started acting up. I check for recall and there is a service campaign call. Took my car to the dealership on for them to tell me that I needed a new transmission my car on has 86,000 miles and I haven't had any trouble before. I see that there are many people complaining about this transmission problem and I think Nissan should cover to replace mine.

Since owning the Altima. The transmission "shutters and vibrates the car from a stopped position. If the car is parked and you start it put it in reverse or drive it will shake violently and shut off. It will not cause the check engine light to come on. The dealership has hooked it up to computer to fix and replaced a valve twice. Nissan refuses to replace transmission because no fault code is showing when taken to service department. Taken to dealership more than 6 times for this since owning it. It has shut off on them but Nissan still refuses to replace transmission.

When I get into my car it starts but it will not come out of park. Initially I had to turn my car off turn it back on three or four times and sometimes it still won't work. This is unsafe as you can be stranded in cold or unsafe medical conditions. Dealer instructed if gear locks up in park and will not move you press the shift over ride with a key. This is not obvious and the only car I have had this issue. Now this happens 100% of the time. Only 38000 miles on the car. Vehicle is stationary when this happens.

I have a Nissan Altima S 2013 and I financed it zero meter in Sept 2013. Yesternight my car died/shutdown while trying to accelerate, after stopping at the stop light. I had no clue what happened at my car. I was in full stop at the moment and was trying to make a left turn. There was no warning and I just had a cold car all of a sudden. I could not move my car, the car shuts all electrical power. I tried to restart my car, and it did, but when put it in drive and tried to accelerate the car would power down again. I turned my hazard lights on and call the tow company as I was not far from my home. Unfortunately my car has 66K miles while its only 3yrs and 5 months old. My warranty expired after driving my car for more than 60K (only 6K miles over). I suppose the main issue is that, there is no warning sign. This could have happened and put me in danger and other drivers around me. I lost my confidence on my car because the electrical system powered off and it can stopped anywhere. This is a ongoing problem with Nissan cvt transmission. They must need to recall all the Nissan Altima which have cvt transmission and correct the problem, and for me I need a reliable car not this piece of junk, (american car runs more efficiently than Nissan, a Japanese piece of junk) "no more Nissan for me". I took my car to the crest Nissan frisco, tx. Lets see what they say"?"

To whom this may concern, I own a 2013 Nissan Altima 4 cylinder with roughly 81000 miles on it. About 2 weeks ago I was driving and the car kept stalling out when I would come to a stop light, but I was able to restart and move on. However, in the middle of the high way it completely shut off on me and didn't restart. Thankfully the truck behind me had enough room to swerve to avoid hitting me. Me and my car would have been totaled. I received no warning lights before this issue, it happened out of no where. I received a diagnosis of "bad transmission" and was given an estimate of $4200+ tax. I was told that since my extended warranty ran out that I would be responsible for the payment in total. I did my research on this problem and it seems that many people are having the same issue as I am. I am beyond disappointed in Nissan and their inability to warn customers about such a dangerous malfunction in their cars. This is incredibly unsafe and needs some type of investigation or recall done on the transmission. God forbid anyone has this issue and it costs their life.

My car has 97,500 miles on it equipped with a cvt transmission. Nissan in the past has had issues with these transmissions and extended transmission warranty to 120K miles in 08-2010 models. After doing research car.com found 2013-14 Altima and rogues have had same issue. 2 days prior before getting my car to dealer to have transmission checked out, I first noticed my rpms revving up and down while on cruise control. Following workday I was at a stop light. Light turned green and cars approaching fast behind me took my vehicle 2,000 rpms to move from stop light almost getting rearended, I was only 1,100 miles over my paid extended warranty communicated with Nissan about the issues with the cvt transmission. Long story short they wont back up this faulty transmission and now I have to pay $3,200 for my transmission to be fixed www.carcomplaints.com/Nissan/Altima/2013/transmission/ https://www.cars.com/articles/2013-2016-Nissan-Altima-rogue-transmission-issue-1420683183828/ www.nissanassist.com/programdetails.php?menu=2 the above research show they have issues and at some point someone can be injured or killed or like me having to fork over excessive cash for a transmission replacement Nissan needs to step up and warranty their defective transmissions.
