Filed Jan 4, 2021 · Engine, Suspension · 137,000 miles · CO

I drove my car the day before it was fine. I came out to my car a 2010 altima 3.5 sr I had a check engine light . I precisely preceded to drive my car because I had to go to work. My car would not move over 20 MPH. Car intermediately started overheated and died . I had to have it towed to a local infiniti dealer because the car was inoperable, the problem was found that nissan had a recall on the car but the 1st owner never fixed it. The problem was a step motor , the car had no power , now after paying 3k for a new radiator the check engine light dates back to a recall years back nissan had. This is unsafe . I could've lost my life . I still have a lean on my vehicle it has worn control arms , and CVT issues galore if this is not fixed someone will be killed I promise you . Totaled over 8k in repairs shame on nissan and common fuccin safety bro !!!!!! Total junk and unsafe and is inoperable and still isn't paid off whooo hooo just kill us all nissan !!!!

One day on the freeway the cars rpms wad going up and down without me pressing or taking my foot off the pedal. I was driving 75 MPH. That was I noticed first. The a couple days later car was shifting hard into reverse. I went and got a transmission flush. Two days later the car wouldnt move. I put my foot on the pedal and the car wont move. My slip light and check engine light are on now. Car gave me a code of po725 engine speed sensor input circuit malfunction. I have replaced it and the car still wont move.

My check engine light came on and I made an appointment for monday at planet nissan. On saturday 1/24/15 the light went off, but I've heard some knocking and the steering makes a rubbing sound. So far the master cylinder had to be replaced, which I filed a complaint here, and was reimbursed, but before reimbursement they told me my VIN did not match. So I find that questionable. I've put on new struts on the front and rear. Nissan said the check engine light had to do with the transmission and it was under warranty and has been repaired. Now they are telling me that the front strut mounts are cracked which is not covered. I've been on line and see that 2010 models have had this problem. They have not located the rubbing sound in the steering wheel. I've called nissan consumer department and am awaiting a reply. So far the master cylinder, struts front and back, the transmission, and now the front strut mounts. On a car with this little mileage, I don't feel secure in this car and will never own another nissan. I think they should repair the strut mounts. I've never had so many problems with a car before. I would say very poor workmanship. I was looking forward to paying the car off as I owe very little at this time and I keep my cars a long time, but feel I have a lemon and am very disappointed. As much as we pay for cars today there shouldn't be so many problems.

My check engine light came on, so I took the car to the mechanic, they told me that I had an error p0402 catalytic converter malfunction. They told me that this is a known issue with the nissan altima and that nissan knows about it and does not care to anything about it; he told me to google it and see the number of complaints online from nissan altima owners. I did just that and was amazed at how many complaints there were. The repair shop said that they won't fix it for fear of making it worse and told me to get rid of the car!.

Cvt transmission is warmed up after driving for 20 minutes. Once warm, from a complete stop, I lightly accelerate to move forward and the car hesitates like I am not even press on the accelerator so I press harder almost to the floor when the car finally and suddenly accelerates out of control almost causing an accident. This situation happens is a constant problem for the past month. Another problem is that you can be on the freeway driving at 60mph and just loose all power and cant accelerate. I took it to the dealership and they say cant replicate the problem and to just leave it with them to see if they check engine light comes on, but I had already explained that the light has never came on. The service advisor stated that if the light doesn't come on and they don't get a "code" from it that they cant fix the problem under warranty even though nissan knows that their is an issue with the CVT so they extended the warranty on the vehicle.
