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!

We were driving to tampa and car suddenly stopped and had to go on the side of the road and will not start. Had to be towed to the closer transmission repair shop. They checked the engine and had a hole in it and could not figure what the cause of the hole, it took two weeks to get the diagnosis and told us we need to get a new transmission, we paid $5000 for it and had no choice as that was the only car between me and my husband to go to work. I contacted nissan and they said it was not under warranty and could not help me even if I told them there were other complaints about the car. Even the repair guy told us that nissan had so many problems. After 2 months there were more problems, seems every few months something is wrong and now my car is sitting again in the repair shop just after 2 yrs and they said I need another transmission!!!!! This is crazy, I wish I had trade in the car before this happened as this is a piece of junk. I will never buy nissan before and hopefully I can get the word out not to buy nissan.

I went to the grocery store. Upon returning to my vehicle the car would not start. The car cycles to the "acc" and "on" position but does not start. The dash lights up, the blinkers work, the brake lights work, and all other noticeable electrical components work. The car just does not start. I had the car towed to an independent repair shop. After 2 days of diagnosing, the shop owner called and stated that he did not know what was wrong with the vehicle and that I need to come to pick up the vehicle. He stated he explored everything and parts wise the car was fine. He said that I needed to have nissan test the car on the com iii. I then towed the vehicle to the local nissan dealer and they could not figure out the issue with the vehicle. They called me to charge me for 3 hours of labor to look further into the issue. I agreed and within an hour of paying for the additional labor they called me with a general solution. I need to change the ECM (computer), egi (engine wiring harness) and I needed a new battery. Grand total $3100. I have never had any issues with the vehicle. Prior to the car breaking, the car drove like a champ then all of a sudden it dies. Something is fishy in the air nissan and this will be the last nissan I'll own. After this incident I found out these cars are riddled with electrical issues. If only fore-sight was better than hind sight.

I have had several issues with my nissan 2007 altima. I bought it brand new with only a few hundred miles. I have had an oil leaking problem ( first it only leaked when parked, got fixed & now leaks when driving only), engine rattle, clicking when driving and not moving(sounds like diesel engine), transmission feels unsmooth sometimes when shifting(since purchased but blamed on CVT transmission & not being used to it), button under brake pedal had to be replaced (car wouldn't start when pushing button and thought it was a battery problem, but button under foot pedal was sticking & wasn't getting contact to start car) belts were rubbing strange, had to be replaced. Tires are too small for car, every speed bump I ground out. Engine hesitates sometimes on highway. I've had this car worked on and maintained perfectly and I have had alot of issues. I want to get a new car but feel bad selling this to anyone.

My car would not start consistently. I have a 2007 nissan altima with push button start. You have to engage the brake for the start button to work (and have itelli key). The brake light was not registering regularly, so you could start your car and drive somewhere and be stuck. I am lucky I have an honest mechanic who figured out it was the brake safety switch under the pedal and replaced it to resolve the issue. When nissan was notified they confirmed they have sold that part very often. I would think this part should not be one that stops working so easily and is a recall/manufacturing issue.

No wreck, no events, my car will not crank and it is a 2007 altima. It leaves me stranded and I have had it in and out of the service dept. Since I purchased the car.they keep telling me everytime it happens it wont happen again and that it is fixed and yet again im stranded . I live 60 miles from the nearest nissan dealership and 30 miles outside of town so when im stranded im stranded. This is suppose to be a dependable car and it has been a nightmare. I have 2 children that have to be places and I have a medical condition which requires me to see a doctor alot. I need a car and I would appreciate anyinfo that would be helpful to pass along to the consumer dept.on monday morning . I am to the point now to where I want another vehicle at equal value and my interest and note be the same or a good '!@#$% deal on a trade in. Please note again this makes the 6th time this has happened to me. It is a problem with the can or cam modules or so they say.

While driving north on i15 at the el cajon pass in calif., my 2007 nissan altima stalled. I pulled to the side of the road and tried to restart it. It would not start so I was going to get out of the car when black smoke came out of the air conditioning vents. The passenger and I got out of the car and, at that moment, flames came out from under the hood. We got away from the car and called 911. With in a minute the car was fully engulfed in flames. As we continued to walk away from the car, the hillside next to the car caught on fire. We moved to the median, but the fire jumped to the median which surrounded us in fire and smoke. A truck stopped and drove us out of the situation. After getting home, I found on the internet that there was a recall (june 2007) of my model of car because it might catch on fire. I was not told of this upon purchasing the car, when I had it in for service 3 months later, or by mail the entire time I owned the car.
