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.

In 01/12, we specifically purchased this pre-owned vehicle for its low mileage & new CVT transm replaced on 8/30/2010 at 69,421 mi at nissan fort worth, tx. Vehicle had 92.069 mi. On 6/22-25/13, trophy nissan in mesquite, tx supposedly replaced the burnt up CVT transm with a new one again, flushed out lines at 105,022 mi [after only 35,601 mi]; also performed electronic fuel injection service, clean throttle chamber, decarbon upper engine area; replaced & reprogrammed intelligent keys. I paid pay $398.48 for air intake cleaner, intake kit, basic inj flush and replacing drive belts & fan. I really didnt understand what that had to do with replacing the automatic CVT transmission.] service advisor ignored memo from corporate office not to place intelligent keys to prevent a "no start fault error". On 7/3/13 the car refused to start due to keys being placed together. New CVT transm installed by trophy nissan still whines, stalls, hesitates, jerks & gears not shifting right. Due to bad service, rude, nasty, unprofessional people at trophy, I took car to courtesy nissan, richardson, tx in 7/13, service advisor, bob schille contacted trophy nissan & refused to check CVT. On 8/10/13 at 110,856 mi, I took car to clear lake nissan, league city, tx. Cvt was whining, jerking,stalling, hesitating, not shifting properly when test driven but yielded no diagnostic codes. On 6/28/14 - 7/1/14 at 118,531 mi, took car back to courtesy nissan. I was lied to, car was never test driven nor CVT diagnosed. Took car back to clear lake 11/22 still CVT didn't give diagnostic codes. Went back 12/12/14, CVT gives codes for new CVT after abt 25,000 mi. Now warranty has run out! Contacted nissan USA again via phone, then email 5/18/15. Contacted by angie, nissan USA, regional consumer affairs specialist, 5/28/15 refusing to repair this defective CVT tranm. No car needs 3-4 CVT transm in 8yrs!

I attempted to pass another vehicle and my car began stalling and I had to immediately pull over on the same side of the road as oncoming traffic.had I been on a bridge or been followed closely by another car it could have caused an accident. I placed in park and attempted to restart the car several times before it started.I called petro nissan and they said it sounded as if the cam or drive sensor was going out. I drove cautiously to the nearest nissan dealer(mossey) in houston. They did diagnostics on it but could not find the cause. When I arrived at the mississippi river bridge in baton rouge I approached at 70mph but on the bridge I could not get the accelerator to respond to keep me above 50 MPH. I felt I would have stalled had the bridge been any steeper or longer. It was very scary but I managed to make it over and experienced no further problems. I took it to petro the next morning on thursday and it has been there since. They have not been able to diagnose or re produce the symptoms. Today, they are consulting nissan factory engineer.

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.
