When I try to get a quick acceleration it doesn't want to move it has trouble climbing hills like I had to put it to the floor to make him go anywhere and sometimes when I'm driving to RPMs goes up in the middle of driving without me hitting the gas I also noticed sometimes the buttons on the steering wheel don't always work I have to turn off the car and turn it back on kind of worried about the transmission I have a 2009 Nissan Altima transmission it's going bad on it before it's time so I'm hoping this car is not having the same thing

Transmission shudders and loses power when needing to quickly accelerate. Nissan has paid me an inconvienece fee because all of their 2019 Nissan Sentra SR models experience the same issue. This is extremely dangerous! When needing to get out of a situation quickly, the vehicle shudders and hesitates before catching a gear. This has happened to me in an intersection. Someone ran a redlight and I need to move quickly to avoid an accident. The vehicle sputtered and when it caught it's gear, almost lurched me into oncoming traffic. Nissan has placed 7 transmissions in my car and all are the same. I never took their replacement car because when I drove two other of the same models of my car. They did the same thing! Nissan needs to be held accountable and find a way to fix the transmission so it does not do this shudder anymore. I've seen many consumer reviews that state the same problem. I feel this is widespread enough and a big enough safety defect that Nissan needs to fix before it kills someone because they can move out of the way in time.

While driving and slightly moving right or left there was a clicking noise and the car kicks back. Then as the wheels are turned left or right it felt as if you lose control of turn. You have to really keep extra control of the steering wheel.

Transmission had to be replaced after a year of owning car, motor issue happened today while driving home. It started sputtering and shut down while driving on freeway. Dealer said its motor problem. Just spent $500 getting repaired not 2 days ago. Front collision sensor was repaired, but still don't work, and radio has been fixed 3 times and problem still exists they both where suppose to be fixed 2 days ago, and when we got the car back problems still there. Nissan said we don't qualify becase of miles on car. Its a lemon, it has more issues but to many to list.

Since I purchase the vechile I have had it back at the dealer to several times. It jerks when I accelerate, then it will surge and the RPM go high while im driving and rapidly jerks. Hesitate all the time.this happens anytime I am in motion driving.

Driving on freeway less than 35 mph, car made loud noise for 1-2 minutes at same time I felt under floor board something pulling. I tried to slow down, brakes didn't work. I rear ended a car. The car gear shift popped into reverse; I pressed harder on brakes & they finally worked. I noticed a big light on the dashboard saying 'malfunction, check owners manual' there was a gray symbol near these words. Inside the speedometer circle that same symbol appeared in bright yellow. At some point within an hour 2 more yellow symbols appeared on the far left of the dash, a yellow triangle with an explanation point, and a car with 2 curved lines behind the back tires. When the car was returned to the dealership I purchased it from, the staff immediately attempted to blame me for the incident'asking why didn't I bring the car in for service? and that I have to get a rental car and my car repair through my insurance company. He pushed the idea of getting the car repaired. I stated I just barely got the car 3-4 weeks ago brand new. I left the car to be checked by service department. The next day the service manager denied any malfunction saying there wasn't any current codes just past codes; I asked what that meant he said a brake sensor and some other data I didn't comprehend. He said get my insurance to fix the car. I said no sir, I want more information on why the car malfunction first. Once I explain to him again what happened he said he would have his forman check out this car the next morning; however less than an hour the service manager me back to say he talked to a field tech engineer and was advised that I had a right to call Nissan Corp to make a report. I went by srvc dpt to get something, they tried to get to take/repair my car. I didn't. once I spoke to Nissan Corp they said it take 6-8 weeks for investigation etc to be completed and for me not to get car repaired.

I was trying to merge into the highway traffice and I pressed on the gas pedal to pick up speed, but the car just puttered along with the RPM at around 3000 - 6000 and I almost got rear-ended by a van who got really close to the rear-end of my car. The gentleman in the van was clearly upset and I know it was my fault because my car did not want to pick up speed. I have owned about 80 cars in my life and I have never had this problem; I know how to merge into traffic very well, I have been driving for 40 years without any accidents or tickets. I took the car to charlie clark Nissan dealership where I bought the car and they said there is nothing wrong with the transmission. This car makes me look like I drive like an old lady, people are getting upset, as it has no pick up power at all even though the RPM is past 3000. There is just no way out of a potential dangerous situation. The reason I think it is the transmission problem is because when shifting from 2nd to 3rd it losses power, like when the transmission is slipping.

I was coasting towards the traffic light wanting to make a left hand turn when the light turned yellow and I was already past the point where I could back up. I had to hit the gas pedal to make the turn in a quick fashion and beat the oncoming traffic. The car just puttered along and I almost got hit by the oncoming traffic. It seems like the cvt transmission gets disengaged when the car is coasting at low speeds (5-10 mph) and there is a loss of power to the wheels when I hit the gas pedal again. RPM is 3000 and the car still doesn't move quickly enough to get out of that dangerous situation. The reason I believe that the transmission is the culprit is because when I stop at a light or stop sign and I barely come to a stop and I hit the gas pedal again, it makes a jerking motion, like the transmission didn't downshift to 1st like it is suppose to, it gets stuck in the high gear and when I hit the gas pedal it downshifts hard. I have to stop a few feet away from the light and then release the brake a little in order for it to downshift to 1st.
