Accelerating from a stop sign, about 10 feet later there was no power to the wheels. Neither reverse or forward gears worked and the check engine light came on. Engine runs normally and no abnormal noises. Ended up having to push the car to the nearest safe area and waited for a tow. This seems to be a sudden transmission failure at just over 50,000 miles the shop has quoted me $4000 to replace the transmission citing they have seen many failures on the Nissan cvt's and do not recommend repairing them.

Cvt transmission failing with only 73,900 miles on the 2014 vehicle. Also both passenger and driver side door mechanisms have broke from the inside, meaning you have to roll the window down to get out of the vehicle. This is a safety hazard.

I purchased a used 2014 Nissan Altima with 58,000 miles. It drove great during test driving and on my way home which is 1 hour away from where I live. By day 2 the car began jerking around 60 mi per hr. And under. I made an appointment to have it looked at my local Nissan dealership. By day 4 on the way to the dealership the RPM would jump up to 4 and the car made a winding noise. It would advance forward quickly and then stall. All of this while driving on a major highway. I came to a place where I could pull over waited a few minutes and then tried to pull off the car would not go anywhere. I finally had to have it towed to the dealership. Nissan has yet to know what the problem is, saying it has an "unspecified code". it's been 3 days. I know there had been a recall on the cvt transmission however I don't see my vehicle VIN on the list.

I parked the car went into a store left the car running. While I was driving home, the cvt transmission would not shift out of 1st gear.

The vehicle stalls when pulling from a stop sign or stoplight. The vehicle restarts without issue then will stall again when engaging into gear. This happened at highway speed also with the car turning completely off. After exiting the highway, the car restarted without issue and was able to continue off the road. At a stoplight, it stalled again in the intersection. Research online shows multiple complaints on this vehicle similar to my complaint. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and I don't think I will drive it again.

I have a 2014 Nissan Altima. One morning after having drove about 15 miles on the city street, turning my car off and then on again after about 10 minutes, my car started shutting off when put in drive. I had to get it towed. My mechanic called Nissan and gave them the failure code. He was told that it was the torque converter. It was locked and so the transmission needed to be replaced. I've been reading up on this and other complaints. Nissan issued a recall on the cvt reprogramming, but I think they know that there is more wrong with the transmissions they installed these cars than that. Reprogramming the cvt is simple for them, it's just a software upgrade. Now I'm finding out that the torque converter is failing (locking up) on thousands of cars. I feel Nissan should be held accountable for these repairs.

First, the cvt blew on a 70mph highway. Got that fixed, Nissan North America and mentor Nissan helped. Nna paid 70% of a transmission. They are also reimbursing me for towing. Then, I have video proof, that after the recall, the OCS light is on while I have passengers in the car. Lastly, rear suspension arm rusting out (photo proof). This car is no longer safe to drive! the whole car should be recalled!
