2012 Nissan Altima: transmission slipping

Filed Feb 26, 2024 · Transmission · NY

Service Engine Soon light on. Was driving on highway at 55mph Transmission started to slip and car started to slow down while I was pressing gas pedal. The more I pressed on gas pedal the more the car lost acceleration. Had to move off to side of the road and turn car off. Took to mechanic and had transmission flushed and plate replaced. Transmission needs to be replaced. Ran diagnostic and codes for Transmission comes up.

I just recently financed my car I haven’t even had it 1 month and every time I drive it for more than 1 hour the transmission fills like it’s going out on me on the freeway I can’t seem to get it to go over 40 miles an hour and it makes sun weird noise and idles high I can also feel it when I drive I can fill it slipping it jerks it only has 117000 miles on it I did mention it to the dealership and he said it wasn’t the transmission it was something else I know it’s the transmission I just wanted to know if it was a recall or anyone else had this issue I have not had it inspected being it hasn’t even been a month yet

The CVT transmission keeps slipping causing the vehicle to go into 'limp' mode. Not giving any power to accelerate and causing high rmp's with no acceleration.

Cvt transmission are not , not cars! There was a recall up to 2010, but they continued to make them with CVT! Often when driving my car it lose all acceleration! I went to nissan and there was no issue on the diagnostic tool and they said that due to this being the main job of the cht, they said a cooling kit can be installed, which it was. 2 years later, my car again slips into neutral. My gear shift moves sometimes and other times, just no acceleration this has happened now over 10 times in 2 days!!!!!! Because the issue is not showing on diagnostic, they will not look at the cars transmission, trans fluid, or the gear shift. They wouldn't do a thing to my car! This is forcing me to drive with unsafe conditions! I am taking into a real and honest mechanic!! Nissan knows there is an issue and that many drivers are driving dangerously, as they refuse to do the right thing!!! There is no dipstick to check the transmission fluid or else I would do it myself. Do the right thing and save many people from getting into accidents and potentially losing their lives!!! Coming off an off ramp, no acceleration; driving on a highway no acceleration, pulling out of my driveway after warming my car up non acceleration. This is dangerous and illegal!!!!! This issue began 2-3 years ago, was temporarily fixed wit the cooling kit that I had to pay for out of pocket, and has been happening consistently for the last 5 days!!!! Google this issue and there are thousands of people with the same issue and nissan offering no help nor even a simple mechanic once over look!!!! I am a social worker who works with children in foster care, often tranporting them from unsafe conditions to situations that I am promising are more safe and comfortable! I can no longer promise them this if my car is unsafe!! I have almost been in a minimum of 5 accidents because of this issue! Dealership no help!!

My car is in excellent condition. Just under 7 years old and my transmission has to be replaced. The transmission began slipping and RPM 's were high when I was driving on the highway.

Alright so today I noticed a whining noise coming from the transmission. On my way home from work, just after leaving my car kept slipping out of gear. I get on the highway and the engine light comes on. Then im stuck in 5th gear for the rest of the way home. I got the flash codes and did a bit of research, here is what I found. 2012 nissan altima sedan - torque converter clutch circuit intermittent pausible causes: - faulty torque converter clutch solenoid valve - torque converter clutch solenoid valve harness is open or shorted - torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit poor electrical connection - low transmission fluid level - dirty transmission fluid I have to pull over for about 5 minutes then start my care for the sensor to reset so that I can drive my desired speed limit. Once it gets hot the transmission will not allow me to drive more than 60-65mph. The dealer says I need to new transmission. I have 95,000 miles on my 2012 nissan altima 2.5 s and is already having problems. It's difficult for me to travel as much because of these issues. After an hour of driving, my transmission whines and my speed limit drops when driving this is extremely dangerous and deadly. I fear that because of the decrease in speed could be potentially dangerous.

Car seems to slip into neutral while driving. To resolve this I need to brake, shift into neutral and then back into drive.
