Has a hesitation on take off, like it does not move when you push the accelerator. A very bad dead spot. Makes it very dangerous to get on the highway or standing by a stoplight. This has happened when we stop at a stoplight, the car won't move forward

When placed on park the car still rolls forward or back and almost caused an accident. The car pulls when driving in a slow speed of 5-20 mpr and sometimes the floor on the driver side vibrate. Also, the electrical buttons located on the steering wheel are unable to be used when on parked or driving. The volume or phone or selection switch does not work again...

I am having problems with lack of acceleration when in traffic, car will not move when the accelerator is pushed no response other than a turtle crawl. Became very random in beginning roughly 2-4 months ago progressing into daily to and from work, initially it seemed to be more frequent when car was hot or at normal operating temperatures and now is still sporadic but happens sometimes within 5 minutes of operation. The next issue is the horn will not sound unless it is hit in a very specific way, I am very concerned about this due to safety issues and the inability to remember how to hit the sweet spot in emergency situations. Later today I will be making videos of this default and then taking to dealer for the second time to have repaired or replaced.

I bought a used 2015 Nissan Altima on 6/23/2017 with approx. 47,000. Around 6/30/17 the car would not accelerate while driving over 40mph and the RPM was going all the way over to 8 & 9. the car sounded like it was not shifting into gear. I had to pull over, cut off the car and crank it back up again. There have been several times since then, when I'm at a light that the car will not accelerate over 5-10 mph and I have the pedal pushed all the way down to the floor. I took it to the Nissan in tuscaloosa, al on 08/21/17 to correct the cvt transmission open recall. I'm not sure if this will solve the problem due to them not finding any codes and test driving the car. I thought the transmission had blown up on 08/21/17 and had to immediately pull over (my son was in the car) on the side of the road.

Takata inflator. I received a letter from a Nissan dealer about 2 months ago. It stated that I should bring in my vehicle to replace the passenger air. When I called to make an appointment I was informed that I would be called by the dealer when the they receive the air bag from the manufacturer. I have not heard from the dealer. When I checked NHTSA website, it did not show my vehicle as a recalled vehicle. I am confused. Is the dealer being honest. Previously, the dealer had requested that I bring in my vehicle. The dealer stated that the indicator light on the passenger air bag was not functioning properly. The dealer also stated that the repair was completed. On another occasion I was also told to bring in my vehicle for a transmission problem. The dealer also stated that the repair was properly completed. What action can I take in reference to the most recent request to replace the air bag? the date I received is approximate.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. While the vehicle was parked and while driving, there was a strong fuel odor present in the vehicle. The contact stated that the fuel odor was an excessive continuous variable transmission fume. There were no visible leaks present.

There were also cracks in the dashboard that were visible for more than one year.

My vehicle goes into "limp mode" (the dealership used this term) suddenly while driving. I was driving 35 mph and suddenly it won't go even 20 mph. This has happened on 5 occasions. Most recently last week. 1st time at 20K miles I had the valve body replaced, 2nd time the cvt was reprogrammed, 3rd time there were no codes, 4th time the cvt was reprogrammed and now 5th time at 51K miles the valve body is being replaced again. I noticed the issue starting when the vehicle will not accelerate while driving or even from a stop sign or stop light. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs to investigate (this is the 2nd time I asked them to investigate). This final time I was told I would be getting a new transmission since 7 codes showed on the scan but they just called me and told me they replaced the valve body again.

While driving in any condition or weather, my car shutters and make a loud vibration noise which is also felt inside the car whenever the RPM reaches 2000 RPM. It only does it on exactly 2000. Above or below its fine. Ive been to two different Nissan dealerships for the past two years of owning it and they tell me its normal. In colder weather its a lot worse. You can play with the RPM and everytime it will vibrate and you can hear and feel it at 2000 RPM. But both dealers say they cant find anything and that they don't notice it. That worries me when a 5 year old asks me what that noise and feeling is but a certified mechanic cant find this problem. Its loud and clearly you can feel it. This is ridiculous. All I want is for it to be fixed. If not I'm never buying another Nissan product. Ive had the worst experience with this brand and ive owned a lot of brands. Nissan needs to fix this and spend more money on training. This has been going on for 2 years that ive owned this car.

Unfortunately, this is my second Altima 3.5. in 2015 Nissan replaced my 2013 Altima 3.5. I requested a replacement due to the vehicle having stuttering and jerking issues causing me to feel unsafe while driving.while driving if I had to decelerate it would hesitate and jerk or pull while I was accelerating. This mainly happened on the highway but would happen occasionally while driving on city streets.as a mom with kids I feel the car is unsafe and will eventually cause to me be involved in a accident. My car has been in the shop for transmission issues since october2015 and now it is currently in the shop on its 4th attempt.I have currently requested for Nissan to help me get into another vehicle, or replace the vehicle.

While pressing gas my RPM goes up and down really fast even when I'm at a steady pace, the vehicle vibrates and jerks while and motion and has shut off twice while driving. The vibration occurs while in motion. Once while driving the car wouldn't drive over 20mph then it shut off. Often times when I make a complete stop then proceed to go the vehicle does a hard jerk. This has been going on for several months. I've contacted Nissan and they have done nothing to assist despite the fact that I notice on different forums lots of people complaining about the exact same issue starting with the 2013 model and 2015. This car is dangerous and can really become deadly for consumers while randomly shutting off while in motion. I purchased my vehicle with 13000 miles and now its at 25000 theirs no reason thousands of others should be complaining about the same issue with the exact model as mine. This issue has been going on for months now.

Car fails to accelerate after a total stop and sitting at a traffic light. Absolutely no power. The gas pedal can be pressed all the way to the floor before vehicle begins moving. The gas pedal was pressed gradually. After a few seconds of keeping the pedal on the floor, the RPM will spike and the car will slowly begin moving forward. After backing off the pedal completely, the car can be driven normally once the engine slows down and the transmission shifts back. It was approximately 80-85 degrees outside, clear, car was at a slight incline going up a hill.
