Car started to lurch and whine while driving at any speed. Two weeks later it got worse and started to lose power or fail to accelerate while driving. Now vehicle will not go into gear most times. When it does it fails to move forward or backward, while pressing the gas pedal. Mechanic informed me that the transmission is slipping and needs to be rebuilt or replaced.

On the 14th of June, 2019 I was driving to work. When suddenly I felt my car power decreasing as I pressed the gas. Soon as that happen I new something was wrong so for my safety and other I took the nearest exited to local street and found a safe area to check my car. Turn it off and back on and I started driving sgain it seemed like nothing happened but after about 10 later it completely lost power no matter how hard I pressed the gas. So I called a tow truck and we took to the repair shop and I found out that the transmission on my car has died and it will need to be replaced. And that will cost me alot of money. So I called a Nissan dealership and they told me it will. Cost me $3000 for new transmission. So my next option was to check with Nissan if they will help me so I called the Nissan customer service so they asked how much miles I had in the car and I told them 70,000 miles. But sadly they told me my warrant end at 60,000 miles. I need my car for work so at the end it took about a week to get it fixed and costed me around $2000. Worst experience I have ever had to deal with with this car. What surprised me is that I always took good care of it since the first time I got it I made sure all maintenance that was needed for it was done but I was surprised that my transmission died at only 70,000 miles. So hopefully this help in anyway for other who have the same issue.

I had stopped at a red light, when it turned green my car stalled and wouldn't accelerate. Once it did, it wouldn't pick up speed. Car will go up to 4rpm and will only go 10-15 miles P/hr. No service light has appeared. This happened in city streets. This first happened two weeks ago and been happening every time I've driven the car, which has been three more times, have not driven it since.

We were traveling from Chicago to springfield, mo and were about 110 miles from home traveling 75 mph when the car suddenly started to buck, then we heard a brief screeching noise twice. The car would rev up suddenly to 3-4 thousand rpms randomly. The car began to lose power uphill when trying to accelerate. None of our warning lights came on at all.

Call stalls and RPM revs out of control. Stopped at red light, light turned green and car went into neutral state and began rolling backwards. Pressed gas pedal all the way to the floor, only for car to barely move through major intersection and traffic. When finally able to move car made a jerking motion and stalled before it moved at regular speed. Took car to dealership diagnostic ran and they said that the transmission had to be replaced

I was driving on a city street at 30 miles an hour, when I approached the intersection to take a tight hand turn I was yielding for oncoming traffic completely stopped. When I went to slightly move forward to see if I had the right away my car jolted forward. Just sped up and would not respond to de acceleration. I almost crashed into children crossing a side walk. The acceleration was completely out of my control. This has happened a couple other times just not as significant. I did notice it's happening whole my ac is on.

2016 Nissan Altima. Consumer writes in regards to defective passenger side airbag and defective keyless push button. The consumer stated other failures included rear doors opening independently, engine was loud, tire pressure sensors were inoperable, and the emergency communication lights were constantly lit. The consumer stated all the repairs were to be repaired under recall. The consumer was unsure that the dealer actually completed the recalls as it only took an hour to be completed.

In March 2019 my vehicle had 54,000 miles. I was stopped at a light & when I hit the gas and the car jerked forward and would not accelerate, leaving me sit in traffic. It eventually moved. I took it to jones junction Nissan and they "could not have an error code" for the problem, made me buy a carb kit to fix it. Two months later, in May 2019, with 58,000 miles on my car, I was driving and the car stopped accelerating. It would not move when I hit the gas and I had to drift for 2 miles to an advance auto parts. When I turned the car off and then back on, it started working again, but would hesitate on occasion, particularly when stopped. I took it into the dealership again and they could not find an "error code" so refused to replace the transmission even though when the mechanic drove it, he also felt the hesitation. Nissan had the dealership "re-program" the transmission and sent me on my way. Nissan refused to replace the transmission. One month later I went in for an oil change and let the mechanic know if was still hesitating a little bit when I would being taking off from a stop. Yesterday, August 26, with 62,000 miles on my car, it started hesitating and jerking on the highway as I was driving and would not accelerate again. I had to pull over, stop the car, restart it, but the problem continued. It did the same thing on the ride home, jerking every time I had my foot on the gas, and not accelerating at stop lights and in traffic. I've had the vehicle in to jones junction Nissan 4 times now for the same issue. To date, they have not replaced the transmission - which is a cvt transmission - and after looking online I see there are multiple complaints and issues with this type of transmission. It has a problem that needs fixing! it is getting ridiculous that I have to take it in there so often for the same issue and Nissan will not resolve it.

My 2016 Altima began to studder and jerk while trying to accelerate and looses power while driving which is an extreme safety concern. Took the car to 2 different transmission shops one stated I needed a new transmission $4500 and the other wants to charge $987 in order to take apart the trans to find the exact part and repair that, contacted Nissan and was told the extended warranty is for years 2003-2010 which is disgusting since my car is only 3yrs old getting the P0841 transmission fluid pressure sensor switch A/B circuit range/performance. Nissan stated I would have to take it to a Nissan dealership for them to diagnose and they will try and negotiate something to lower the cost of repair dealerships want to charger anywhere for $99-$150 just to look at it. I am already out of money because I drive full-time for a living and only have one car. I will never ever buy a Nissan again I am disappointed that Nissan would extend a warranty on an older car but not one 3 yrs old for a problem that they are full well aware of.

When car is cold it will run normal. When the car heats up the car will not take off. When driving its like you stomp on the brake then start again. Took the car to auto zone and had them read the codes there were two transmition codes. So we took the car to the Nissan dealer ship and there were a bunch of different codes. They told me I needed a oxygen sensor and a new transmition. Almost 8 thousand dollars worth and the car only has 88000 miles. Wow is all I am saying. Out of pocket for a newer Nissan and then dont have the money to get it fixed. Vehicle is not covered under warranty. Thank you Nissan.
