I bought a used 2014 Nissan Altima on/around April 13th 2022. Two weeks later my transmission gave out with barley any warning. I was driving to pick up my daughter after work when I noticed some delayed shifting. Assuming it was the car needing transmission fluid, I drove home and had planned to take the car to get it serviced at the dealership where I bought it the next day. When I left my house with my daughter the next day I got maybe 10 miles from my house when the transmission completely failed and the engine light came on. I was stalled in the middle of the road, with no working gears. The dealership I bought the vehicle from towed the car and put me in a loaner for two weeks. No clue on the price of repairs or if I’ll even be able to afford it.
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while his mother was driving in stop and go traffic, the vehicle stalled without warning.

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
Engine shuts off while driving.. Replaced crankshaft and camshaft position sensor, replaced throttle body, spark plugs, same problem.
Hood latch defective they state recall but no remedy and car stalls while driving locking me in car in middle of road or intersections
The constant velocity transmission (CVT) died while driving at highway speed. This failure of the CVT is premature at less than service life of the vehicle. Cvt failures from research are quite to common to be an anomoly
I brought a 2014 altima from a dealership in 2018. I notice weeks after I purchased the car that it would not accelerate properly and even stall out while in motion on the highway or trying to accelerate at a traffic light. I had a new transmission put in. Now a little over a year later the same thing is happening again. The mechanic says that its the same problem due to a faulty transmission part(CVT) transmission. This should be recall due to numerous complaints I have seen and mostly the danger it is causing for nissan customers. This is a hazardous and costly issue. Nissan should rectify this immediately
