- Jacsksonville, FL, USA

I just exited highway 580 turning left on highway 84 stoplight when my car died/shutdown while trying to accelerate. 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. This happened for at least four times. I turned my hazard lights on fearing that the cars exiting the freeway would hit me considering we had the green. I did not want to get out of my car because I was in the middle lane and feared that the on coming drivers will not see me. This happened around 5:10pm and we have a light shower. I finally got my car to move when I restarted my car and put the gear on sports mode or D2 instead of drive. The car moved without hesitation and while I was hoping to see any issue or warning on the dashboard I found nothing. As if there no issue and could not replicate the issue. I contacted Nissan dealer to make and appointment, and got me a slotted the next day. The final diagnosis is that my car needs a new transmission. Unfortunately my car has 79K miles while its only 4yrs old. They told me that my car is deemed unsafe to drive and that the whole ordeal will cost me $3500. My warranty expired after driving my car for more than 60K. The main issue I suppose the main issue is that, there is no warning or tell tell sign. This could have happened and put me in danger and other drivers around me. I lost total control of my car because the electrical system powered off.

My car has 46000 miles in it. Several times now while I am driving mostly when slowing down or starting again after being stopped the car shakes really bad and then dies. It is while driving. This is very dangerous and if it occurs while on the highway could be disasterous. There are many complaints about this. See the link here to other owners hacing the same problem.

I finance a 2013 Nissan Altima S, I noticed that my engine light, air bag light, brake light and tire pressure light kept coming on all at once, and would stay on for a day or two and then would go away on it's own yet the car never gave any physical signs that a problem was going on. So I assumed that maybe there was a sensor problem. I was leaving from work when I approached a stop sign and came to a stop. As I proceed to step on the gas to go is when I noticed that the car had shut off on me yet the radio and lights were still working. I tried to start the car up when the warning symbol came on stating that my key pad was invalid.that continued until the tow truck driver arrived resulting in him towing the car away to cherry hill Nissan. It was there that I was told that at 80,000 miles my transmission had went yet no one could give me an explanation as to why or what caused the problem. Now as of 10/22/2016 I am having the same signs and symptoms that were going on before my transmission went the first time with all the warning symbols coming on for a few days then going back off all on their own. 10/26/2016 my car cut off on me as I was in route. After getting it to start back up I immediately stopped at auto zone where they hooked my car up to their diagnostic machine and reported to me that my computer brain was malfunctioning.I won't know for certain what is actually going with my car until Monday 10/31/2016 when I take it into Nissan of turnersville so they can run test. In which I was informed over the phone that beings though the warning symbols come on and off on their own they may not be able to diagnosis what the actual problem is. How do I handle this matter if they can't figure out what causing the problem? I've already contacted corporate Nissan and they couldn't even tell me if the recalls that occurred prior to me getting the car were ever address

Cvt transmission failure at 76,000 miles. Within in 2 days the car went from a slight shudder to complete failure. According to my research and viewin thousands of other complaints, 2013 Nissan Altima should have a transmission recall. Had it failed on the freeway with my children in the car, I would be filing a lawsuit. Car is currently at a dealership and will remain there until I can afford $3500-$4000 for repairs. I have filed a complaint with Nissan Consumer Affairs.

I have a 2013 Nissan Altima that I purchased one year ago. When I purchased the vehicle it only had 25,000 miles on it and was still under warranty. About one month ago my car just died in the middle of the highway while I was driving it and I had to merge off of the highway before I was hit by other vehicles. The car would start right up after I turned it off, but not matter how hard I pressed on the gas peddle it would just sit there. I had the car towed to the local Nissan dealership and I was told that my cvt transmission had failed. I only have 75,000 miles on the car, but of course, the warranty was up at 60,000 miles. The service center at Nissan suggested that I call corporate Nissan and see if there was anything that they can do to help. I called Nissan and after weeks of playing phone tag with the representative handling my case, I was told that there wasn't anything that they would do to help me. I proceeded to ask her if she was aware that there is a class action law suit again Nissan regarding their faulty cvt transmissions and she said "yes" and that they would rather me sue them than just replace their faulty transmission. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed with Nissan and will never buy another one of their vehicles again. The total cost to replace my transmission was $5,000, plus a month and a half of rental car charges.

Shift assembly - transmission: My car is a 2013 Nissan Altima and it will not go out of park at times there is a default with the shift gear assembly that need to be recalled or investigated. I have had this car for only a year. I have also hear rumors about these type of cars having transmission issues. The cost for the repairs to fix this car is $600 and this should be on the manufacture end and not the consumer. I actually believed Nissan and honest company when it came to vehicle safety but the tech advised me that if it is not under recall then there is nothing that they can do. So ok that means unless someone is not injured or killed this is your problem even though we know these cars have this problem. I would like for anyone who is having these issues to please report it because I am trading this piece of junk in as soon as possible.

Torque converter shot, needs transmission replaced

- Perrysville, OH, USA

I own a 2013 Nissan Altima which I purchased new. The car has approximately 90K miles on it now. About 5 months ago the car beginning dying when putting it in gear and/or stopping while driving. The occurrence of the problem gradually increased until we were forced to take it to a Nissan dealer. The dealer diagnosed the car as needing a transmission reprogram. I paid the dealer to perform the work. Two weeks later when putting the car into drive or reverse the car would not move. We had the car towed to the dealer, whom took over a week to diagnose informing us it needed a new cvt. The dealer informed me that the new cvt had been upgraded with heavier duty parts including a heavier transmission cooler as these units were prone to overheating, which indicates (in my opinion) a design flaw. The dealer now wants $3.7K to replace the cvt with a new unit that only has a 1 year or 12K warranty.

2013 Nissan Altima 2.5L sv 76,000 miles cvt failure my vehicle has experienced cvt failure with only 76K miles.. unfortunately for the initial occurrence, I misdiagnosed the problem as bad gas. The vehicle shutters, bucks and stalls when decelerating or accelerating at traffic lights, stop signs or in highway traffic. Additional stalls occur when placing the vehicle into gear (drive or reserve) which may cause vehicle stranded in the middle of parking lots and roadway. The problem seemed to go into remission for the past year, even though looking back I can see some slight signs of bucking when coming to a stop, rough idles, louder whining at higher speeds, ect. I was able to have Nissan tech confirm cvt failure and that it is not a rare issue. A quick google search verifies that many others have experienced the same issues with the cvts and Nissan had provided a recall and extended warranty on all their cvt's manufactured before 2011. This issue does not seem to have been resolved on newer models and is a road hazard especially in intersections of major roadways and in heavy traffic on major highways. Please advise.
