I have had three Altimas 2017, 2015 and a 2012. This is the only one that makes this noise while driving. It occurs between 1700 and 2100 rpms. Also this car receives the lowest gas mileage of the three.

I've recently purchased new 2017 Altima S trim. This car is yet to reach 1k mileage. The issue that I am experiencing is an annoying/constant droning coming from the car when hitting anywhere between 1700 to 2000 RPM's. The car does it while accelerating or decelerating...all within that RPM threshold. Imagine driving over those small rumble strips on the roads...that's the best I can compare it to.
I took the car to the dealer and the technician also took a test drive and was able to feel the issue I was talking about. He gave an explanation that this is how a normal CVT works. They are not ready to accept this as an issue.
Anyone else facing similar issue, please share your comments/suggestions.
Thank you.

BOUGHT 2017 ALTIMA S 3/21/18 DID NOT MAKE FIRST PAYMENT YET, AND CVT TRANSMISSION HAD CODE PO841 AFTER HAD P.C UP DATE AT DEALER. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER THEY TRY TO FIX, BUT HAD TO REPLACE CVT. PROBLEM WAS VIBRATION SHUDDERING WHEN PULL OFF FROM LIGHT. THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER, DON'T KNOW IF UPDATE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. WILL BE PICKING CAR UP TODAY. HAVE 15000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY LEFT ....NISSAN SHOULD EXTEND WARRANTY ON 2017 PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE REPEATING NO MATTER WHAT YEAR.
