I purchased this vehicle brand new from the dealership on 12/31/13. This vehicle is 2 years old and has approximately 75,000 miles on it. It has had a minimum of 2 recalls on it since I had it. I would drive the car nearly all day (no more than 50 miles per day) and suddenly once I approached a stop sign at a very busy intersection and was about to cross it, the car engine shut down. I could hear the radio. Note: My toddler child was with me. I attempted to start the vehicle several times but as soon as I put it in the drive gear, it would shut off again. I had to sit to the stop sign with traffic approaching for nearly 10 minutes before the car would allow me to start and put it in gear to drive it home. When I took it to the dealership for a diagnostic test, they could not give me a full diagnosis as they stated that the vehicle had to be cooled. I had no way home as I live outside of the dealership's shuttle radius and was offered a rental car but I had to pay for it. I had no choice but to trust that I would make it back home with it. I did make it home but it shut off in the yard. I had it towed a few days later to the dealership for further testing and it was revealed to me that the transmission had to be replaced. I am bothered by this because this is a brand new vehicle with less than 100,000 miles and is 2 years old. Also, this could have been a safety hazard for me and my child as it could have shut down in the middle of the intersection in which we were crossing.

I parked the car on a slight incline, placed the shifter in park and stepped on the emergency brake. I exited the vehicle, left the driver door open. I opened the left rear door, removed my dog and closed the door. I looked up just in time as I was struck by the open front door of my car, knocked to the ground and it rolled over my leg. It rolled for approximately 30 feet and struck a tree.

Dealership found right front axle coming out of transmission. Retainer bracket loose. R&R axle and bracket. Could have been a very serious problem or accident and we are lucky this problem was found before something happened.. is there recall on axles?. I'm not sure this car is safe to drive

When I first purchased the vehicle there was a slight jerking, and pulling when going 0-20 mph, I would inform the dealership when I would go in for oil changes and services, due to this being intermittent they would not troubleshoot, now at 25000 miles it is persistently jerking and pulling.

I experienced a grinding, shaking noise at 2.0 RPM. The vehicle was taken in for service and I was informed that the transmission had to be replaced. The transmission was replaced and that was when all of my troubles began. The vehicle would hesitate and jerk while driving at low speeds. There was now a vibration at 1.5 RPM. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and was advised that a belt was loose. The vehicle was returned to me and it still was not driving smoothly and now the entire gear console was loose. The vehicle would not move from either drive or reverse upon starting, even when the gear shift was moved. It would take two tries each time to get the car to move from park. The vehicle went back into the dealership where the gear console was adjusted. However, the dealership could not replicate the issue - vehicle not moving when gear placed in reverse or drive. This weekend (4/30/16) I drove the vehicle in Virginia and had to navigate several high elevations while on the I-81 highway. The car was sluggish at best, dragging and the gears would not change. The car was racing loudly trying to keep up with the speed, RPM was up at 3.5 and the car was at 50 mles; speed limit was 70. Once I cleared the hill the rpms leveled out to 1.5 and the car held the 70 mph speed. Note the vehicle was not performing this way before the "new transmission" was installed. I did have the grinding and racing noise at 2.0 RPM, but no hesitation, jerking or any difficulties in higher elevations. That leads me to conclude that there is something else wrong with this vehicle other than the transmission. I have also lodged a complaint with Nissan Consumer Affairs whom I am awaiting a response from on my complaint. The vehicle now has 18,694 miles and was purchased in August of 2014.

Hello, I bought Nissan Altima 2014 in Nov 2013 from Nissan faulker jenkintown, pa and around July-Aug 2014, I had issue with the car and while I was driving the car suddenly decelerated itself while my foot was on gas pedal, I had to tow it to Nissan faulker in jenkintown, pa, they said nothing is wrong and asked me to pick my car, again on Jan 30th, 2016 while I was driving on I680 from sacramento to san jose, the car started de-accelerating on its own from 65mph to 5mph and I had to pull it on shoulder and luckily no car was on way and had to tow it to Nissan dealer, my car is around 55K miles and now I am afraid after this my car would be out of warranty and I have to shed lot of money for repair in near future of no fault of mine.

I purchased a used 2014 Nissan Altima the end of April 2015 from enterprise car sales. I was told they did such a thorough inspection of all of their vehicles that the car was in great condition. In October 2015, with approximately, 61,000 miles on the Nissan, it started randomly hesitating. I would push the gas pedal but the car would not accelerate. I took it to the Nissan dealership and they could not find a problem. A few days later, I was pulling out from an intersection and I pressed the gas pedal and the car would not move!! I barely made it home. I took it back to the dealership and was told it needed a new transmission, $3400 and that the power train warranty had just expired at 60,000 miles. I called Nissan North America Consumer Affairs and filed a claim to see if they would cover a new transmission. After about 5 or 6 days, I received a call back and was told no, they would not cover or help pay for a new transmission. I asked if they were aware of all of the problems with these cvt transmissions, the rep said they had problems on previous year and model vehicles but not on the 2014(s). Obviously, there are still problems!!! a 2014 vehicle should not need a new transmission!!!

I recently purchased a 2014 Nissan Altima S with 48,000 miles on it. After driving it for four months I recently started having an issue. At first I thought it was bad gas because the car started jerking and acting like it was not getting gas. I purchased the stuff for fuel that you use to increase the octane in the tank and filled up the tank. The car drove ok for a day or two, then it started with the following. When I depressed on the accelerator at a stop light, it would take about 30 seconds to pull off. At that time the light came on and I looked at the owners manual and it stated it was a fuel emission issue. Fill the tank with high octane gas and the light should go out in a few trips. The issue continued to get worse as I was driving sat, 10/10/15. I went from pulling off slowly, to when I depressed the accelerator it wouldn't go at all until I kept putting the car in park, then drive, then park, then drive many times until it decided to drive. At that point I decided to take the car home cause the issue was getting worse. Only I never made it home the car suddenly decided it would not go more than 35 in the middle of traffic. I was an accident waiting to happen. In the middle of driving it just slowed down immediately and made this loud whining noise. Had I not been in an area where I could pull over immediately my 72 year mother and I would have been toast.

I purchased a brand new 2014 Nissan Altima sv from baker Nissan North in houston, Texas (19630 northwest fwy, houston, tx 77065 (281) 890-5656). My transmission has failed twice (replaced the first time and now having to be replaced again) and I have been getting the run around from the dealership. This issue should not be occurring with a brand new vehicle. Then to top it off I have been a loyal customer and have purchased a total of four cars from this dealership now. I filed a Consumer Affairs report with Nissan corporation and have yet to hear something. I also called the dealership again to speak with someone in charge such as the general manager and they informed me to contact the consumers affairs department with Nissan corporation. They said they have a chain of command to follow and that would be my best bet of getting the situation resolved. I would like this situation to be investigated and justice. I do not spend my hard earned money to have a car that is not operating properly and could put my life and others in danger. It comes down to the fact that this car is a lemon and I should be given brand new transportation or the dealership should purchase the car and pay off the loan and let me take my business elsewhere....... I also have copies of my maintenance records for documentation purposes.....thank you in advance for your time and effort. I look forward to hearing from you soon...updated 11/05/15 the consumer also stated the ac was blowing out hot air, then cool air and the steering wheel was hard to turn. Updated 11/25/15.

Transmission fails on the highway this is the second time for a brand new car. I had my child in the car this time. The vehicle suddenly loses power. The first time it occurred was @ 3000 miles. The second time is at 13000 miles. The biggest risk is being rear ended by the vehicle behind due to the sudden loss of power and Nissan knows their cvt for Altima and rogue 2014 is an issue, no move from manufacturer to replace the car or recall all cars in question

We took a trip to northern Michigan from asheville nc, our Altima began to die when idling in detroit. I thought we had bad gas so purchased lucas fuel system cleaner and filled the fuel tank. The vehicles performance improved we continued our trip to indian river mi. Once we reached our destination I parked the car and it sat from Saturday until the following Tuesday morning. I started the vehicle and put it in reverse the vehicle wouldn't move, I shifted the car back into park and then to reverse again depressed to fuel pedal and it began to move. We started on our day trip and about two miles down the road and the vehicle down shifted and would not go fast than 20mph, we called Nissan assistance and the sent a wrecker to get us. The wrecker to us to the nearest Nissan dealership two hours away, after spending another four hours at the dealership to find out our vehicle had to have another transmission. The dealership got us a rental car and we are currently on our way home. I will be talking to Nissan customer service on Monday to see how they plan on getting our vehicle back to us. We no warning lights or signals came on to warn us until the vehicle wouldn't move at all.

Purchased new 2014 Nissan Altima sl 3.5L at approximately 2200 miles when accelrating at a stop light the vehicle jerked (as if it could not change gears), happened intermittently at first. Took vehicle to repair shop at 2 dealers in 2 states who could not capture information at that time. By 12000 miles while returning from vacation (1/4/2015) the vehicle was undriveable. Took to local dealer and needed a completee transmission replacement. At this time, vehicle was jerking, missing gears, changing gears independently, trying to go in to a lower gear while breaked at a stop light and engine would rev to accelrate, vehicle shook, and was literally deteriorating each mile. Transmission was replaced, at approximately 14500 miles, the same vehicle symptoms have begun. Took to dealer while traveling, they were able to capture minimal data because as the vehicle began to jerk and shake, their battery died in the lap top. However, some data was recorded. Advised to drive home and file complaint with Nissan motors North America (which I have done, ) vehicle will be taken to local dealer for continual study and new transmission replacement. Was advised by repair manager, that transmissions are now being known to seize while being drove. I have requested Nissan purchase my vehicle back, pay off my loan and refund any trade in values and payments made on nmac loan because I refuse to replace a transmission every 2000 miles. At this time vehicle is shifting spuratically at any mileage. More at lower speeds but also at 70mph on highways.
