I was driving along in my Nissan Altima and all was well. I came to a stop light, and when I pressed the gas the car stammered and lurched and conked out. Tried multiple times to drive but would only stay running in Park or Neutral. Thought it was the fuel pump because why would a transmission go on a relatively low mileage car? But if it was the fuel pump, I wouldn't be able to rev the engine in Neutral.

I had it towed to my mechanic (which cost $180) and after a day I got the bad news: it needed a new transmission. Cost? $3,500. I nearly crapped my pants.

The only thing worse than this was the phone call to the local Nissan dealership to see if it was covered by warranty. I was told to bring it to them because my mechanic didn't have all the super-special Nissan diagnostic tools that they did. They aren't nearby, btw.

I told her that wasn't going to happen after paying $180 for a 2-mile tow. Plus they charge a $150 diagnostic fee. It also wasn't covered by warranty even if they determined that was the problem. When I asked her if they planned on paying the towing fees she put me on hold. I hung up. I've had to use them before and I hate that dealership.

My mechanic has always been fair and honest and here she was impugning him to get me to bring my car at great expense to them. I wish I had found this site before buying that car. Those CVTs are bad news and I'm dreading that this won't fix it. What kind of car has a broken transmission after 59K miles?

The good news about my mechanic is that he stands behind his work. I've already contacted a class-action lawsuit website going after Nissan for this very issue (that's how prevalent the problem is). Should've got a Toyota again.

My Transmission started straining hard and seemed to be overheating. I had it towed to the Nissan Dealer. They diagnosed a failed transmission and indicated the only resolution was to replace the transmission at a cost of nearly $5,000.00.

I had kept up on all maintenance and was unaware that there were known issues with the 2014 Nissan Altima’s Transmission.

I filed a complaint with Nissan Manufacturer Consumer Affairs on 6/24/2022 and I am in the process of seeking some form of resolution.

This problem happened in February 2018. Took it to the nearest garage. They told me that the car needed to be reprogrammed. Paid the bill but still some jerking went on once in a while. Last Friday, November 2019, I bring the car again to the same garage for the same thing. This time the car would shutdown waiting at lights, stops signs or just from shifting gears from P to D. Sometimes in drive mode it would automatically shift in neutral position. The mechanic told me that the transmission solenoid was the problem and Nissan does not sell this part separately. So I would have to pay for a whole transmission change. To top it, Nissan does not sell brand new transmissions but rebuilt! The best price they told me was 3200$CAD! The mechanic tried for a warranty but nope.

Nissan warranty was 60 months or 100,000km. That warranty was the time lapse of the lease contract. As soon as I bought the car, no warranty was extensioned or given. Nobody ever told me this. Again, the mechanic talked to 2 transmission companies that specialize in this field. Both said that they are overloaded with this Nissan problem. Nissan does not sell the solenoid separately so Nissan owners are caught paying for a whole used or rebuilt transmission for a whooping thousands of dollars in repair. Even if the transmission has been changed, owners will be caught again for rechanging the used/rebuilt transmission. Why? Nissan has not solved the problem and doesn't sell the default part separately.

Also, the Nissan extended warranty on some models but the warranty is limited. Example: 7 years or 200,000km. But, this problem happens usually in 4 or 5 years of use of this part. So, the warranty extended for 2/3 years or a 100 000km more, we all know that the warranty will expire prior to having another transmission problem. I have contacted Nissan. Their response: We cannot help you. Your warranty was 60 months or 100 000km.

I leased this vehicle brand new in January 2014. Became owner in January 2018 without letting me know that I had no more warranty on the car. The mechanic brought back my car in my yard after so many attempts of restarting the car at lights/stops signs just to get in drive mode. So now, the car is not functional in my yard, I’m still paying monthly payments on this car and can't go to work because I have no more transportation! And don't have the money to repair it. No car, no work, no money! Beware, owners of Nissan!

This is my 3rd Transmission! Cost to replace was over $4,150. The Nissan Corporation agreed to pay about 1/2 the cost $1,944; I paid $2,206. First Transmission was replaced at 42792 miles. Second Transmission was replaced at 95780 miles.

The biggest issue to me is that Clay Cooley Nissan knows there has always been a problem with the Nissan Altima CRV transmissions and other Nissan vehicles with the same transmission. They laughed about it when I asked if other people had had issues with Nissan's & Transmissions. I was told they are busy all the time because of this. I asked why doesn't Nissan find a more dependable transmission and was informed that would never happen. I was also told if you don't go to the Nissan Dealership for any and all work they

don't have to pay for any repairs; interesting,.

I personally do not feel I should have to pay for the replacement of a transmission when they obviously know it's an issue and won't resolve it,.

I bought my Nissan Altima brand new and had problems within the first 6 months. I kept bringing it back to the dealership who said they couldn't replicate the shuddering. Finally one of the service techs said that his wife had a Rouge with the CVT transmission and the car was supposed to function like it had been because the transmission was just changing gears and it was like driving a manual stick transmission. I put up with the shuddering for the next few years which it did act up the most in stop and go traffic and it didn't like driving at 30 MPH and would constantly shudder. Now the transmission has failed completely. Nissan has offered to pay 70% but that's still $1200 out of pocket for a car that only has 80k miles. A car that cost almost $40k should not have a transmission that failed.

I bought this 2014 Nissan Altima used through Paul Blanco car company at 46,000 miles back in 2016. Last year (12-13-2019), it started shuddering, then left me stranded. I had a mechanic take a look at it, and he replaced the mass airflow sensor because his computer gave him that code. It didn't work still. I took to another mechanic with a more state of the art computer diagnostics equipment in which he told me my transmission is shot. I then took it to Nissan where they told me the same thing.

I did a lot of research and found out many people have had this problem and that there was an extended warranty put out from 60,000 miles to 84,000 miles. My car is at 90,000 miles so I'm not covered! 4100 bucks to replace transmission with updated transmission and the car still isn't mine. I still owe a car note and am pissed that Nissan won't take care of a Nissan owner on their known faulty equipment. I understand if my car had 120,000 miles or so and they didn't want to cover it but I'm not even at 6 digits! They didn't even offer to pay part of what it's going to cost me, knowing that it's a "known" problem. So now I still have to pay car note, and now credit card bill I racked up to cover the transmission. What can I do?

This is my second Nissan Altima. The first one, a 2008, had the engine seize up because it burned the oil somehow and didn't let me know the oil was low. Nissan had a recall on this issue but my car was not under the lot that had issues, very conveniently for them. So I decided to roll the dice again with Nissan again and bought a brand new 2014 Altima. The transmission went out on it at 33,693. It was under warranty so they replaced it. Now the new transmission went out on it again after only 80,000 miles on the transmission. I'm calling corporate and see what they will do.

Hello peoples! I just want to offer some help concerning this issue because I ended up having to bankrupt it and had a serious loss of wages. I too had a Nissan Altima 2014 purchased with only 30k miles from a reputable dealer. I've purchased 2 cars from this dealer with no issues, paid in full. I don't fault the dealer, but Nissan in actuality.

The car was beautiful and ran wonderfully until about 80 to 90k miles. That's when the problem started. I also have another word of advice Nissan does not disclose… Only get your oil changes from the dealership! They use a special formula I was advised that runs through the system. Even if you get a performance oil change from another vendor it will mess your cars auto system up. This information is straight from Nissan mechanics.

I was 50 miles from home at Ft. Lee running some errands when the car started to shudder and it completely cut off out of nowhere. I had to press the pedal and shift to neutral for it to start again. I made it home that time to Richmond. The next time not too far from home it started stalling and accelerating extremely dangerously! Then the car literally ran out of power. This was so disheartening… invest in AAA if you have a Nissan.

I had it sent to the dealership. One thing: don't let them cheat you and make you pay for a diagnostic (its free under a recall issue). My friend, a former detective, literally had to get on the phone with the mechanic before changing his tune. It was determined the transmission failed and an entire new part was needed. My warranty ended at 60k and unknowingly to me hadn't received a notification I needed to extend it. I missed the cut off shy of 20k miles - arrrghhh.

This is a known issue that was not included in the formal recall issues. They did include a front latch issue (my hood opened on the highway - I could have died!) And a computer reset issue that was covered. After arguing and getting my dads great advice I filed an NTSA claim and a case with Nissan. They did agree to pay half 2500.00 and a rental for three days free for repairs. NOT ENOUGH.

I was already put in a bind ...a different lawsuit for another website. I bankrupted the car...my advice is to do both. I want to give you all some recourse. Nissan changed their tune a month later... There was an update from local dealers of a free transmission and engine repairs for the life of new cars. That doesn't help the people who've already purchased their car with low mileage! I hope my story helps y’all… I was given that car out of a blessing so it broke my heart I had to get rid of it.

I got this 2014 Nissan Altima SV a year ago... was down in St. Louis, visiting family... left to go home and the car started jerking. I stop at a red light and the car stalls. I could keep it running. It started and was fine... I got about 2 miles, then it start losing speed. The rpm's were fluctuating over 4000. I could get over 40 mph. The check engine light came on...

I scanned it for code - it was a p0776 telling me it's in the PCM when the Pressure Control Solenoid "B" is not functioning properly or stuck in the "Off" position. Well, that sucks. $3,400 to replace the transmission. Well I'm on disability with a heart defibrillator implant... I can't pay for this car plus have it fixed. i need it to get back and forth to my doctor. Nissan needs to fix this problem.

I purchased this car used about a year and a half ago. Last month the car started stalling, not wanting to accelerate and eventually just starting dropping speed on the highway. After sending it to the shop, I was told that the transmission needs replacing. A $5,000 repair. Considering that I don't have that kind of money laying around, I am without a vehicle but still having to pay a note every month. Contacted Nissan and was told that some of the 2014's were covered under extended warranty but it is VIN # specific. However, my VIN was not one of the covered ones. Of course my warranty expired about 10,000 miles ago. I am upset because as I am doing research, it appears that these cars all have had problems with the CVT transmissions and Nissan is not standing behind their product. I am really upset about this but don't know of any other options. I welcome any suggestions or advice.

I wouldn't have bought a Nissan if I had known this problem that seems to occur right after their 5-year warranty. The problem is that I still like my car. After 5 years and 5 months and 71k mostly freeway miles, the transmission failed. It started with engine turning off few times after I stopped. It ran normal for a day and the day after, at a red traffic light, it turned off again. I tried several times and as soon as I went from park to drive, it turned off again and again. I had to tow it to mechanic after that. It needs a transmission replacement for $4,500.

I bought my 2014 Altima brand new. I previously have had no problems with my car. While driving home on this past Monday, July 8, 2019, my car began to jerk as I was coming to a stop at a red light. I prepared to turn right and the car shut off. I immediately turned the car back on and noticed that my battery and check engine light had come on. The car then shut off again as soon as I pressed the gas. I had to call my dad and one of his friends to come and assist me. I also had my younger cousin in the car with me.

My dad and the tow truck driver assumed that it may have been the fuel filter or pump. I had my car towed to my dealership who informed me the next day that my transmission would need to be replaced and the total cost would be $3,800. They also told me that my warranty had just ended on June 21, 2019. I was so confused as to how a regularly maintenanced car with 76,000 miles would need to replace a transmission after only 5 years.

I searched online, found out this is a very common issue and contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs. I was told that someone would contact me within 24-48 hours. I was contacted the next day and told that Nissan would cover 80% of my costs. That left $828 out of pocket, which I’m really grateful for but also feel as if this shouldn’t even be an expense with how young my car is.

I’m really considering trading my car in before the year is over. It sucks because I really loved my car before this.
