First time, car started at 50,000 miles. Drove the car for 4200 miles, regular maintenance, had occasional drag in acceleration and RPM needle fluctuation, called in and said it was pretty normal due to the heat. Randomly car jutters and loses acceleration, check engine light comes on at 54,000 miles on in town highway road. Car will no longer will accelerate before 5-6 rpms consistently for about 5 seconds then will kick and accelerate. Code pulled read trnsmission fluid system eas the problem. Took car in next day after fighting with pocatello Nissan Kia because they refused to look at it for a week. Had to have entire transmission replaced. Drove the car for another 1500 miles and same thing but I caught the drag and needle fluctuation soon enough that the car didn't get nearly as bad on the regular in town roads. Took it in a second time and transmission was replaced again. Going on 56600 miles and noticing a drag and fluctuation again on in town roads but Nissan wont look at it til the issue can be replicated again.

I purchased this car in December 2017; however, in September of 2018 the malfunction light came on. I had the car diagnosed by autozone first which advised it was a transmission pressure fluid sensor. I then followed up with the Nissan dealer, bommarito on 661 dunn rd in hazelwood, mo. 63042 to find out part of the transmission needs to be built, code P17F0. The car will not accelerate over 35-40 mph, and the rpms are jumping all over. The estimate of repair is $4600 this car has approximately 66,500 miles on it and I bought it with approximately 49,000. This appears to be a faulty transmission, as I have had cars well over 120, 000 miles and no transmission issues. There is one more person I am aware of who had the same issue on a 2016 Nissan Altima.

- Le Roy, NY, USA

Rpms were jumping up during normal driving and even when the car was coasting. Eventually (about 30 minutes later while trying to make it to a safe stopping point) the car would not move forward or in reverse. This occurred while driving on hiwhay and on smaller roads (35 mph) also. When stopped at traffics light is when it wouldn't move. We were able to move it from the middle of the highway after about an hour of it sitting idol. Had it towed.

I was driving on the freeway, as I approached the ramp, my car started moving slow. I press the accelerator to pick up speed, my car jerked a bit. As I proceed to exit the freeway it picked up speed. I arrive at the traffic signal, stopped, when the light changed, I had trouble with my car picking up speed. Previously experiencing this situation from an old Chevrolet vehicle I knew it was the transmission. I called my personal mechanic and explained what was going on with my car, and I think the transmission is going out. My mechanic explained my car is too new to have transmission issues, he asked I bring it to the shop. My mechanic is an honest mechanic if he is unable to repair your vehicle, he will not touch your vehicle. I brought my vehicle to my mechanic he drove my vehicle himself, return to the shop in 5 minutes, express to me, "take your car to Nissan right now! there must be a recall on the transmission your vehicle is too new for transmission issues." My 2016 Nissan Altima, I purchased ocober 15, 2016 started out with 22 miles, I put those 22 miles after test driving. Now at 66,048 miles, I am faced with transmission issues. I found no factory recall for the transmission. Nissan found two recalls, the transmission was not on the list. I am devastated I read Nissan's are the 3rd best vehicles. My Altima is a year and eight months old. Currently my Altima's transmission is getting repaired at a Nissan dealership.

My car only has 40,000 miles I bought it brand new at least they sold it new in July 2016 at serra Nissan in bormingham al. And now 2 years as of 2 mths ago 40,000 miles later. The repair shop here in chattanooga, tn informwd me that they had to take the whole transmission out and rebuild it, what? rebuild ut at 40000 miles, this is unreal. Please help. I nolonger have confidence in driving this vehicle. This car is covered still thank god under the powertrain warranty but having confidence in a rebuilt transmission at 40K mileage is unheard of.. basically I drove from tn to al came back car didnt hardly move after getting off freeway and stopping at a red light, it was disgusting and very frustrating. So I took it to the dealer Nissan East and. Mechanic guy by the name of mike called me and told me that they had to take the whole tranamission out and rebuild it. I have never heard of a car's transmission having to be rebuilt at 40000. I have owned plenty of new vehicles never ever experience this before. Look like Nissan is on my black list and confident in knowing that they produce vehicles with terrible transmissions and seemingly lemons. Contwmplating seeking legal representation regarding this matter.

- Stafford, VA, USA

I was driving on the highway at about 80 mph when my RPM started to go up and down in a way that I'd never seen. Immediately following that, my check engine light came on. I took my car to advance auto parts to see what was wrong and it read, 'P0841 transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch a circuit range/performance'. I took my car to my local Nissan dealer and told them what was wrong with my car, and right away without looking under the hood of my car they said that I needed a new transmission which would cost me $4,000. I thought maybe I needed to replace the transmission fluid pressure sensor, so I called around looking for the part and every shop told me to call Nissan.

- Birmingham, AL, USA

While driving I felt a slight stutter or jerking of the vehicle. I noticed that as I depressed the accelerator, speed did not increase. The car would slowly move forward then all of a sudden the car stalled. No lights illuminated on the dash to indicate a problem and I had the oil changed at a Nissan dealership two days prior. I called the dealership to find out if there were any similar issues reported and I was told I would have to bring the car in. I called the services of my extended warranty and reported the issue.

- Lakeland, FL, USA

While already in motion the vehicle accelerated extremely slowly once again as I have reported on this website before, but this time it was more dangerous because as I was merging onto the freeway, I was pressing on the accelerator and when the RPM got to 2000, it stopped and the vehicle was accelerating extremely slow. There was a 18 wheel truck approaching me fast from behind, but I could not get any speed. Luckily he swerved on to the next lane and passed me. The RPM meter stopped at 2000 and it took 22 seconds to get from 60 mph to 75mph as the video shows. It happened several more times during this drive and I was able to record each instance panning from the gauge display to the accelerator showing I am pressing it all the way down and the vehicle doesn't respond. I took the vehicle to Nissan and when I showed the video to the service representative, he immediately tried to blame the issue on my floor mats. He said that it appears the floor mats were preventing the accelerator from going down thus causing the vehicle to not gain speed. However I explained to him that that is not the case as the floor mat was not touching the accelerator at all. You can clearly see my foot pressing it down all the way without any interference from the mat. In addition, if the floor mat was preventing the accelerator from being pushed all the way down as he claims, how is it possible for the vehicle to continue to gain speed, all be it extremely slow? that right there proves his theory wrong because if the accelerator was indeed stopped by the mat, then the mph as well as the RPM would maintain at the same rate. I also reminded him that this happened on a local street when I was only going 35 mph and the accelerator would have been no where near the floor board. Nissan advised me they were able to duplicate the issue and are contacting Nissan tech support for direction
