Filed Dec 4, 2020 · Engine, Transmission · 184,600 miles · FL

I was driving and my car started shaking. The engine light came on and I had to go get it checked out so I did and the guy said my transmission could explode on me, stop while I'm driving, or stop working randomly.

I recently just purchased this car and the check engine light came on so I checked it. Turns out there is something wrong with a circuit in the transmission. It will give out on me.

While driving my 2007 nissan altima the RPM drops and the car loses power. The check engine light gives a code for the catalyst converter but the light goes on and off. Once the RPM drops and all of the lights on the dashboard start blinking, the car jerks and stall. I have to pull over and put the car in park for a few minutes. The car jerks again and drives normal for about 15 minutes and then it repeats itself.

First, no problems but at regular oil maintenance, they said we had an oil leak. Had it fixed. Engine started stalling. No warning lights. Said had an oil leak of some kind. Fixed it again (so we thought). Happened again two months later - car started stalling. Engine light came on that time. Towed it nissan. Said had an oil leak. Fixed it (again we thought). Two months later riding down road at low speed, car caught on fire. Got it put out before engulfed because of a gentleman passing by had a cooler full of water. Engine is now totally no good and have another year to pay on this car.

My check engine light came on in my 2007 nissan altima. I took it to a mechanic who did a diagnostic and said that it was my catalytic converter and I needed to replace it. I looked online and found out that nissan had a recall on the catalytic converter back in 2007 but I never received it. Now that my car has passed the warranty mileage, they refuse to do anything about this. I feel that they are not correctly notifying consumers of their recall information intentionally so they don't have to pay for this and all the burden will then be on the consumer. I feel nissan should take care of this since they knew there was a problem the year I bought my car.

March 2010 my 2007 nissan altima se started smoking out of the exhaust when first starting after sitting awhile. The check engine lamp came on.the altima had less than 40,000 miles on it. The smoking got to the point of smoking all the time with dense black smoke. I checked the oil and found it low. After performing an oil & oil filter service, I started monitoring my oil level and found the 3.5 v6 engine was showing signs of excessive oil consumption. I checked the engine lamp codes(po420-3way catalyst function and po300-multi cylinder mis-fire). I took my altima to the dealership I bought it from and had it checked under my warranty, 60 month /75,000 miles gold preferred plan. On the repair order it stated "ses needs engine / slugged". I was charged $107.07 and was told this was not a warranty issue. I contacted the quality control engineer @ nissan north america's headquarters in franklin, tn and she set up a diagnostic inspection with the field rep from the engine plant / deccard tn. He stated since the tires were needing replacing in the near future and the altima needed washing, it was a sign of neglect and there-fore the smoking and oil consumption was not a warranty issue. The rep said the check engine lamp code was for reference:ntb10-009 - a seized exhaust sensor, which was covered under warranty but not related to the smoking/oil consumption issue. I was employed at the time of this issue with nissan north america, smyrna tn. I was a pre-delivery repair tech @ the manufacturing plant for 25 years until my retirement june 28, 2010. I used the same diagnostic tools that the dealer used and the engine plant field rep used on my car and know for a fact this is a warranty issue. I followed - up the complaint @https://survey.nissan.USA.com with no results.

Follow up to complaint number 10198578. The entire CVT transmission was eventually replaced while the car had only 4500 miles on it. At around 60,000 miles the check engine light came on (8/31/09) so I took it to do the dealership and they received transmission codes. Nissan headquarters got involved and determined another transmission was needed. This will be my third transmission on a car that is a little over 2 years old and has only 60,000 miles on it. Nissan has said that the CVT transmissions have had few problems, and instead of repairing them, they are just getting replaced. No further explanation was given. I think it's ridiculous.

I leased a nissan altima 2007 five months ago. The vehicle had about 7000 miles on it when last night I was driving on the nj parkway and my accelerator wouldn't work, so I coasted to the shoulder dodging cars along the way. At this point the check engine light came on. When I reached the shoulder I could see flames under my hood. Within ten minutes the entire car was engulfed in flames and had several small explosions. Please help me to find out what I can do. Since this I have found that there have been 30 similar complaints about the car and when I contacted the car dealer they tried to act like they have never heard of this complaint.
