While driving, the car began to hesitate and studder during acceleration. I had to stop at a red light. Once I began to drive again the car shut off and the engine and battery icon came on. I was able to start the car again and move out of traffic. However, the studdering/hesitance continue. I called AAA to complete a battery and diagnostic test which they found no problems with battery, cables, alternator, etc. I was told to contact the dealer and report it. I contacted Nissan and was told there’s no recalls.

I was driving and I had noticed car was about to stall out. I was in major traffic and my car shut completely down in rush hour traffic. There's a recall for CTV transmission. I had taken my car to the dealership numerous of time for them to fix the recall. The service representative had advised that they don't have the CTV parts yet. So on October 14 2021 my 2014 Nissan Altima SV shutdown on a major highway a d that God I didn't get hit. I had to call a tow truck and they towed my car to the Nissan dealership. I'm still waiting on Nissan Headquarters for an answer. Also Nissan Headquarters gave me a case number

I purchased this car from carmax with a full understanding that it was properly serviced. My car has been in the shop 4 times in the last 3 months, for my check engine light and overheating. Saturday morning I went outside to crank my car so it can warm and it wouldn't start. This is ridiculous, paying almost $400 a month for a car I barely drive.

I purchased my 2014 nissan altima with only 6 miles on it in 2014. I only drove my car from school to home, as this was my work vehicle. I finished paying for my nissan in november of 2019. My nissan recently reached 90,000 miles and began to shut down in the middle of traffic. The engine began to jerk and it would not move it were placed in drive or reverse. Then at times when placed in drive the engine would shake and roar loudly, and shut off. My dad had to come and tow the car in twice due to it not shutting down on the interstate and in traffic. The nissan would just stop accelerating and lose power. If it cranked back up at stop lights or stop signs it would accelerate so slowly that I would get caught under red lights or in the middle of on-coming traffic. It would slowly pick up speed with the accelerated pressed all the way to the floor, but there would be a burning smell that the car will give off and it sounds like the engine is in the wrong gear, while in drive.
The dying in the streets and no power to go back or front dying on stop light start o 05/10/2020 no lights on panel is on.

I purchased a used 2014 nissan altima with 58,000 miles. It drove great during test driving and on my way home which is 1 hour away from where I live. By day 2 the car began jerking around 60 mi per hr. And under. I made an appointment to have it looked at my local nissan dealership. By day 4 on the way to the dealership the RPM would jump up to 4 and the car made a winding noise. It would advance forward quickly and then stall. All of this while driving on a major highway. I came to a place where I could pull over waited a few minutes and then tried to pull off the car would not go anywhere. I finally had to have it towed to the dealership. Nissan has yet to know what the problem is, saying it has an "unspecified code". It's been 3 days. I know there had been a recall on the CVT transmission however I don't see my vehicle VIN on the list.

The vehicle stalls when pulling from a stop sign or stoplight. The vehicle restarts without issue then will stall again when engaging into gear. This happened at highway speed also with the car turning completely off. After exiting the highway, the car restarted without issue and was able to continue off the road. At a stoplight, it stalled again in the intersection. Research online shows multiple complaints on this vehicle similar to my complaint. This vehicle is unsafe to drive and I don't think I will drive it again.
