Filed Feb 26, 2021 · Transmission · 94,900 miles · MA

I was driving down the road (in suburbs) when I came to a stop sign. I started noticing a little stutter when I approached the stop sign and started slowing down. This is a continuous problem whenever my car needs to accelerate after a stop (between 5-40 MPH) or slow down to come to a complete stop. I haven't been on the highway since I noticed this problem because I am worried for my safety. I went to a mechanic immediately once I noticed the stutter and small jerks. The engine light is not on so when I described this to him he said he had to do an in depth read of my transmission. He ended up finding a code in my transmission that had picked up on the transmission slipping / stuttering.

On the way home as I exited highway my 2013 altima 79000 miles started jerking upon slowing down to stop, on the move as well as when fully stopped. Next day I took it to the dealer ken ganley medina ohio, the car showed even more symptoms and totally stalled right in front of service door and wouldn't start. Similar problem happened in january 2016 at 59900 and then the same dealership service reset transmission module. The car was driving normal until now. Only this time I paid $177 for diagnostics just to hear what I already suspected: internal transmission failure. Cost of replacement $3995 plus tax. On the way home, my car completely died and had to be towed home. From 2012 to 2018, several modoels of nissan vehicles received the continuously variable transmission, including the sentra, versa, versa note, altima, rogue, and murano models. Some of the most common issues with the vehicles directly relate to the transmission. Reported issues include loss of power, transmission jerking, transmission slipping, CVT coolant hose leaks and failures, and a CVT error message being displayed. These problems call the nissan CVT transmission reliability into question and can result in serious harm to unsuspecting drivers. Nissan extended the warranty on some of these vehicles equipped with the CVT transmission from 5 years or 60,000 miles to 10 years or 120,000 miles. The extension covers repairs, replacements, and towing for issues related to the continuously variable transmission. For the warranty to be effective, vehicle owners must take their nissan to a dealership for repairs. Strangely enough, my VIN doesn't fall (?) under that category even it showed exact same failure. The dealer refused to follow that warranty in terms of replacement and/or providing a loaner car.

Was approaching highway speeds when car pulled hard into other lane. It felt almost like slipping on ice. Traction control system lit up so I figured it was something faulty electrically. Luckily didn't hit anything, so I kept driving. A few seconds later it did it again this time worse and with shaking. I pulled over on the highway to have a look and noticed one rear control arm was sheered completely in two pieces and the other was almost sheered off as well. Luckily no kids were in the car and no one got injured but could have been pretty ugly. The car is in great condition, no rust or any reason for this part to fail so catastrophically.
