I drove my car to work that morning and it was running completely fine. When I went to lunch that same day after 5 mins of driving the car my CVT transmission slipped out of nowhere and lost all power completely while I was on a busy road with lots of traffic almost causing multiple accidents because it happened out of no where and I was unable to get my car off of the road due to having no power. The car gave me no warning signs that anything was wrong until it wouldnt move anymore.

The Altima has 170k miles. We’ll taken care off . I was driving to work and out off nowhere the car lost power the speedometer stopped working and wouldn’t show me how fast I was going and I had to stopped and it lost all power. I tried looking everywhere for the problem to fix it and they told me they couldn’t get the part and told to come here and hopefully this helps, at the moment I dint have enough money to buy a car. The car has not been inspected but but the cops Or insurance. There were no warning prior to this accident it happened outta no where .

The Transmission failed at 51,000 miles. It has not come to a grinding halt yet but poses a safety hazard on any long trips. It was only a strange noise that varied with the acceleration that tipped us off that there might be a problem. The car is 14 years old now but my wife put very few miles on it and it still should be working. Regularly maintained by my local Nissan dealer for the lifespan of the car. Having now seen many other notices on Nissan transmissions for this and other model years you think Nissan would have recalled the cars and addressed the problem. I am very disappointed with Nissan and will buy another brand for my wife's next car.

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.

Driving down the road a whining sound started lost acceleration then a very loud grinding noise and then shifting issues.. All with in 15 minutes.. No warning just quit going. Mechanics state it is the transmission and has to be replaced. Really love my car but the replacement is so expensive. Nissan needs to help due to this is an on going issue.
