The vehicle jerks and stutters while accelerating. In some cases it can lose power completely, which is extremely dangerous when driving at any speed, but particularly on the highway. I’ve also researched this issue online and it is a well known transmission defect with Nissan CVT transmissions and many people have experienced the same issue. I’d be shocked if nobody has been injured or killed.
Transmission failure. Car will not move/accelerate/change gears. This u expected defect can take a driver by surprise and cause them to lose control or hit by other moving vehicles. Inspection will have to be done at the car site.

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.

I bought my used branded 2014 Nissan Altima 1-2 years ago and did not have any issues with it until recently. Earlier this summer I received 2 notifications for my vehicle 1.) Recall notice to Reprogram Transmission Control Module and the 2nd doc. I received was a doc. which stated Nissan had extended their CVT Transmission warranty for their 2013-2016 Nissan Altimas. Some weeks ago later I started to have issues with my vehicle as it was not driving properly. I then started contacting both my local Nissan and Corporate. Nissan confirmed my vehicle VIN was one of the vehicles with transmissions issues and that I needed a transmission replacement for a cost of $4,324.11. I then opened a case and Corporate as there have multiple complaints/class actions for the same reason and they came back and stated they could not assist because I was out of the warranty year/milage. Nissan delivered a faulty transmission which they were very aware of at some point after delivery and although my transmission held off before it completely needed to be replaced I am looking for Nissan to assist financially for a new transmission which they quoted me $4,324.11 as they manufactured and delivered a faulty transmission which is a common issue with these vehicles. There have been class-action suits regarding the Continuously Variable Transmissions (“CVTs”) in model year 2013–2016 Nissan Altima vehicles.
My 2014 Nissan Altima’s transmission has to be replaced. The Nissan dealership gave me a quote of $4,093.00 to replace it. The car starts to run fine, then when at a stop and go, the car doesn’t go when I step on the gas or is delayed in going and the RPM’s are high and it feels forced. I was on the freeway and the car lost speed which was very scary because I could’ve have caused an accident. My safety and that of others was put at risk. I’ve had to stop using the vehicle until I can repair this costly issue. There were not any lights or warning messages in the car when this happened. Now that I’ve done research I know that there are many complaints and lawsuits related to the transmission issues Nissan has had for many years and they’ve done nothing about it. They should take responsibility and issue a recall on these vehicles to correct the issue.

2014 nissan altima transmission died in the middle of interstate wirh no warning.it was running fine when I left from home
I was traveling on a major highway on january 25, 2021, when I had no acceleration. Despite attempting to accelerate, I had no power. The RPM needle was almost to the red zone. I was able to coast off of this highway, onto another highway. I shut the vehicle off, let it sit for a few minutes, and restarted it. I still had no foward gear. I had to have the vehicle towed to a local nissan dealer (sansone, neptune, nj). After an exhaustive battle between the dealer and nissan north america, it was determined my transmission needed to be replaced, based on the computer codes. The cost is not covered by warranty - the extension covered up to 84k miles, my altima has 101k. I was treated poorly by the dealership, and nissan corporate. I never got notification about any recalls, apparently notices were sent to a former employment address - I retired from that place 3 years prior to purchasing the altima in 2015. My records say its a 2015, yours indicate it's a 2014. The transmission is faulty, according to my research. Thankfully, as a police officer, I had the necessary skills to get off the roadway, despite almost being in a serious collision. This is an egregious safety issue, and nissan's lack of concern is abhorrent. I cannot afford the $4400 price tag to replace this transmission, which was poorly manufactured. The dealership "fixed" the "computer update" to the transmission, as well as "lubing" and not replacing the the faulty hood latch. Notably, they allegedly drove the car throughout the day on friday, january 29, before declaring that the transmission needed to be replaced. The fact that this transmission just quits, while driving 65 MPH, is a death trap.

I was driving when my car started to jerk and a slip indicator light appears on the dashboard but I continued driving on city street. I got to a light about to turn and the car would not go forward but only roll back. It's the CVT transmission per two shops that received codes for the transmission. Also I see where nissan has a lot of complaints about the CVT transmission is there vehicles. Even though my warranty is expired I have about 140,000 miles on my vehicle clearly it's something with the equipment.
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
Transmission 1st gear or 2 gear delays shift and shuts down . Soon as I pull off my engine or transmission does this loud grinding noise and stops moving
When I am idle at a red light and get ready to take off, I step on the gas and the RPM hand moves however,t he vehicle doesn't and then it suddenly jumps to take off. Many times I was almost rear ended because of the delay of the vehicle not moving and my foot is off the break. Drivers would assume I am going.

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
I can believe it, I'm on vacation in florida and it's already went bad. I was driving my car nicely and suddenly lost a bit control of steering wheel so I stopped and checked wheels and when I looked underneath passenger rear wheel there is control arm cracked. Called and towed it to nissan dealer spend so much money which I don't have on towing, hotel, lyft, called my hotel in clearwater to let them know, everything is screwed now , and they say here that nissan won't fix it.
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.
