Transmission slipping when vehicle slows. Sometimes the car dies as a result. When trying to accelerate, transmission slips out of gear thus causing a safety hazard such as getting stuck in an intersection or in front of oncoming traffic.

I have never had any problems with this vehicle, but on new year's eve with my family in the car, my 2013 Nissan Altima stalled while idling at a traffic light. I didn't drive it yesterday (new years day), and brought it to the dealership first thing this morning to have it checked out (Jan 2). I was told that I need to replace the transmission! it is shocking to me that a 6 Y.O. car -- without any progression of symptoms or any warning lights whatsoever -- would need an entirely new transmission. These seems like a manufacturing problem to me, as a quick google search revealed numerous Nissan owners complaining of needing to replace their cvt prematurely.

My 2013 Nissan Altima sl VIN: [xxx] is not allowing me to shift when pushing the brake pedal. I have to use a pencil/etc in the shift lock release bypass area everytime. Searching the web and it seems that many cars are hobbled by a thin piece of metal on a cheap $3 micro switch in the shifter. Bending the small metal tab on the micro switch apparently can fix the issue so it makes contact again. Dealers want $700 to replace the entire shifter assembly which is outrageous.

My car is a 2013 with less than 40,000 miles. In the matter of 5 days, the transmission has declined significantly. When at a stoplight, my car will shut down completely. I have to park it, turn it off, then crank it back up. When accelerating from a stop, it will stall as if I have it in neutral. Even while driving on the interstate, my RPM will be fluctuating, but my acceleration wouldn't change. It would stall at 40mph, make a jerking motion, then pick up a little speed. Today it barely went past 20mph. Nissan will not take care of this issue, which is clearly their fault! now I have to get a new transmission paid out of my own pocket.

I was abput to make a turn while in middle of busy 4 way intersection when the car turned off and abrubtly stopped in the middle of intersection. I tried to turn car back on but it would not start. Bystanders came and helped move car to safe side of street. Tried to start car after trying to change gears. Then it was moving sluggish. Then it drove again. But then it happened again. Took to Nissan dealer and they said it needed new transmission. This car had only 100,000 miles. I have 4 other Nissan that have lasted over 200,000 miles and never had this transmission issue. I have submitted also to kcc campain complaints website.

My 2013 Nissan Altima's cvt is faulty. The transmission causes the vehicle to shutter at any speed and randomly shuts off. Additionally, at a moments notice it will rev up in rpms and not go anywhere. It stalls in traffic which has caused a significant safety concern. This occurs while driving at all speeds. It has happened on highways, city streets and simply backing out of my driveway.

The car has had no previous issues with the transmission - note that the check engine light never came on. I was driving on the highway and my transmission started to stutter and the RPM's would momentarily rev very high. After driving for several minutes of this, the car started to decelerate - eventually getting down to about 25 mph. At this point, the car never regained speed. After getting the car towed to the local dealership, it was found that the transmission was damaged and needed to be replaced.
