My 2013 Nissan Altima sv model had the cvt replaced at 41,289 miles in 2017. Two years to the date, at 75,000 miles 2019 my cvt transmission is out again. Nissan via verbal told me that the warranty on the replaced cvt is 15,000 or 1year. My Nissan Altima 2013. As I was driving the vehicle it was loosing motion.when driving and accelerating the car it wouldnt go up the the speedometer speed, it seems like it was stalling. When the vehicle was at the stop light or stop sign and I let go of the break, the car wouldnt go into "gear". I had to press on the gas pedal and suddenly the car will move but with an awful "jerk".that problem was constant. When backing up of my drive way the same thing would happen, I will put it in "gear" and the car wouldn't back-up at all, I had to press the gas after 5 seconds and again suddenly will jerk into reverse. The car actually stopped in different occasions in the middle of the street with heavy traffic in a busy intersection. This is a big safety concern for the driver and passengers inside an unsafe vehicle that just "wont move". another concern would be to "public safety" as other drivers will have to maneuver around the 'stalled" vehicle. I did contacted Nissan usa and they issue a case number on my complain. My vehicle is now at the dealership. I did my research and the same issue has been going on with Nissan cvt transmissions, that in 2010** Nissan extended their cvt ( continuously variable transmission) equipped vehicles ( 2003- 2010) with a 10 year / 120,000 miles limited warranty. Im 100% sure that Nissan will make their 2011 - 2013 Altima part of their commitment to their client base, and add their 10 year / 120,000 miles limited warranty extension to these previous models.

The shift gear does not move to drive, reverse or anywhere for that matter once its in park. Someone had to show me how to remove the plastic cap on the shift gear lock & stick my key in there to get the shift gear to move. I have to do this every single time the vehicle is set to park & the vehicle is stationary.

The 7 inch central audio-visual and navigation unit periodically changes radio stations, crashes the navigation display, or crashes entirely going blank, and may or may not ask for sd card upon reboot. On one occasion the accelerator also stuck requiring the car to taken to the side of the road and turned off. Cannot be sure if the two events were related but they happened simultaneously. In the last six months the misbehavior of the central display unit has gotten worse and worse. Nissan dealer and national support are unable to find the problem or being willing to fix it. There is no escalation procedure to factory engineering and maintenance support. They will not take the elementary step to reflash the firmware or being willing to change out the unit. Multiple examples of this problem are reported online in Nissan's owner portal for this model year and the next. Despite being originally told that Nissan is trying to track cars with this known problem that Nissan refuses to address and leaving a potential safety problem unresolved.

The car would not accelerate from a stop light. It would just do low-RPM revs then eventually crawl then rev super high and accelerate super fast. The transmission would take about 10 seconds to engage at every light and once it did it would lurch forward. Stalled 3 times. 2013 Nissan Altima with exactly 85,500 miles. Called Nissan and they said the know of no recalls or issues with the transmission and it is no longer under warranty but to take it to a Nissan dealer to have it looked at. Check engine light finally came on with code P0776, and pending codes of P 0776 P0965 P2813.

We have bad headlights. At night with low beams you cannot safely drive. You are forced to use high beams. Dealer has no solution other than replace for 1000K. On top of that the transmission went out at 70K. Unacceptable. But the lights are a huge safety issue and should be recalled. Nissan claims they are aware but do nothing
