Transmission does not engage (car does not move in drive or any other shift position.
June 2019, vehicle started to judder, shake and stalled out at red light. Put the car in park, restarted the vehicle, put it into drive and it stalled again. This happened 3 more times until I was able to drive. Approaching another set of lights, vehicle slowing down and the judder and shaking began, I did not come to a complete stop so the car did not stall. I was able to drive home. I then let the car sit for 2 days before I drove it again and when I test drove it after those 2 days, the car seemed to be better, it did not stall out. It did shake a little and judder. No problems like that occurred until 3/9/2020. Approaching a red light, car judders, started shaking and stalled out. I then put the car into park, restarted, from park to drive, it stalled. I repeated this process for 5 minutes. I had to get out of the car and physically push the car off to the side of the road. 3/10/2020 drove the car to the dealership. Same thing happened in the vehicle on my way there. Juddering, shaking and stalling. I was able to slow down and make sure I did not let the vehicle come to a complete stop because it would stall out. I went on the highway because that was the easiest route. The entire time the car was shaking and I was going 60mph, which was 5mph under speed limit. Parked the car at the dealership. Explained to the technicians what was wrong, one of the technicians took my vehicle from where I parked and brought it into the garage. He confirmed my car was juddering, shaking and stalled. They notified me the car would not be able to be looked at possibly until 3/16. My car sat there for a few days, like it did back in 2019 when this first occurred. Upon further review of the diagnostics test, they were unable to duplicate the stalling, juddering and shaking. So they did not replace the CVT transmission instead they replaced the valve pipe
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. The contact stated that there was a grinding noise coming from the front-end of the vehicle. The contact stated it seemed as though it was a bearings issue. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealership. The vehicle had not been officially diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 76,500. *bf consumer was told it would cost 4k to replace new transmission.
Transmission stopped working in the middle of traffic 4/28/18. I was stopped at a red light. When the light turned green the engine shut off. The engine shut off when trying to move forward or in reverse. I was traveling westbound on east cheltenham avenue in melrose park, pa. The car was towed to faulkner nissan where the transmission was replaced due to a CVT issue. I was reimbursed for towing (reimbursement was offered by nissan) and I was given a loaner vehicle with a new transmission at no cost.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed and responded abruptly at an abnormal speed. The vehicle was towed to gerald nissan of north aurora (213 hansen blvd, north aurora, il 60542) where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 83,000.
Accelerating from a stop sign, about 10 feet later there was no power to the wheels. Neither reverse or forward gears worked and the check engine light came on. Engine runs normally and no abnormal noises. Ended up having to push the car to the nearest safe area and waited for a tow. This seems to be a sudden transmission failure at just over 50,000 miles the shop has quoted me $4000 to replace the transmission citing they have seen many failures on the nissan CVT's and do not recommend repairing them.
Cvt transmission failing with only 73,900 miles on the 2014 vehicle. Also both passenger and driver side door mechanisms have broke from the inside, meaning you have to roll the window down to get out of the vehicle. This is a safety hazard.
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.
I parked the car went into a store left the car running. While I was driving home, the CVT transmission would not shift out of 1st gear. I know there are no gears in CVT but I could only go 20 MPH on the road and highway, very dangerous. I made it home, and the next morning, the transmission was ok.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. While driving at low speeds, the accelerator pedal was applied, but the vehicle slowed down and stopped. In addition, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to san leandro nissan (1152 marina blvd, san leandro, ca 94577, (510) 826-1462) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 37771869. The failure mileage was 97,000. The VIN was invalid.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. While driving 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning and the battery indicator illuminated. The vehicle could not be restarted. The vehicle was towed to buckeye nissan (3820 parkway ln, hilliard, oh 43026, (614) 771-2345) where the torque converter and transmission were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they performed updates to the new transmission and assured the contact that the failure would not recur. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 84,300.
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.
I have a 2014 nissan altima. One morning after having drove about 15 miles on the city street, turning my car off and then on again after about 10 minutes, my car started shutting off when put in drive. I had to get it towed. My mechanic called nissan and gave them the failure code. He was told that it was the torque converter. It was locked and so the transmission needed to be replaced. I've been reading up on this and other complaints. Nissan issued a recall on the CVT reprogramming, but I think they know that there is more wrong with the transmissions they installed these cars than that. Reprogramming the CVT is simple for them, it's just a software upgrade. Now I'm finding out that the torque converter is failing (locking up) on thousands of cars. I feel nissan should be held accountable for these repairs.
Jerks when turning on won't turn on inconsistent battery and check engine light will feel jerky and has jerked forward at stop light when my foot was on brake pedal has jerked in reverse while in drive and vice versa amongst other concerns. Very inconsistent with this very unpredictable have already gotten serviced 2 times under warranty and purchased from certified preowned nissan dealership etc docs can be provided upon request
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. While driving various speeds, the vehicle's rpms surged without warning. Also, while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled when the accelerator pedal was depressed and the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to nalley nissan of atlanta (2551 the nalley way, atlanta, ga 30360, (678) 825-6749) where the failures were linked to service bulletin number: ntv15-102 and related to the CVT; however, the dealer had yet to determine if the defects were related to the transmission or the engine valve. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. * bf
Bought a used 2014 altima from hendrick chevy in merriam kansas. Transmission failed on multiple occasions and did not give any indication via check engine light or failure codes. Acceleration was severely delayed from a stop nearly causing me to wreck when throttle reaponse and acceleration was near zero.
My vehicle stalled while I was stopped in traffic when I attempted to restart my vehicle and move it . It would start but when I attempted to shift from park it would stall again. I had to get the vehicle towed when taken to the shop nothing appeared when scanned and days later the car began to move again
The car stalls in the middle of the road while driving. This happen on more that 4 times before it completely stopped driving. I took the vehicle to dealership, where is was diagnosed to for transmission failure. The vehicle has only 81k miles on it. This is a major issue with the vehicle.
Transmission has been shuttering during driving and it is a known problem with nissan and they do not want to cover the cost of what they caused
Takata recall my 2014 nissan altima started losing power and stalling while driving on the highways back in may 2019 with no indication why as there was no 'check engine light' and it was taken back to the dealer and whatever they told me to repair I did. It continued sporadically stalling (losing power down to under 30mph)in june, july,august & now september-during this time we have replaced the battery, change the filters, finally tuning up the car last week wednesday! Didn't drive it thursday-monday now this morning tuesday it stalled and start losing power again! Still no check engine light and now after taking it back to the dealer this morning I was just called by conicelli service rep telling me the transmission is gone!!! At 125000 - 5yrs old ! This is unacceptable because this is our 8th nissan and all the previous ones last up to 27700 miles and never replaced a transmission!! This is definitely a lemon and nissan USA needs to do something! Replace the transmission or buy it back!!
First, the CVT blew on a 70mph highway. Got that fixed, nissan north america and mentor nissan helped. Nna paid 70% of a transmission. They are also reimbursing me for towing. Then, I have video proof, that after the recall, the ocs light is on while I have passengers in the car. Lastly, rear suspension arm rusting out (photo proof). This car is no longer safe to drive! The whole car should be recalled!
I puchased the vehicle in 7/2016 used with 47,000 miles. Never ran great. Needed new CVT transmission at 63000. Miles. Was repaired .. Now 99,347. Miles failure of CVT trasmission again. Car only 5 years old. Dealer says not their problem vehicle stopped at a light. Would not accelerate when stepped on pedal. Cars driving toward me in anticipation of me moving put me in grave and dire harms way
After driving for a little while there would be no warning no lights come on and I would come to a stop at a light, stop sight, or traffic and then when I go to accelerate again it would not do anything for about 5-10seconds then would eventually take off at a high rate this is very dangerous and there is no stopping it if a car is coming from another direction it could easily end up in a very bad accident and there is no stopping it
While on a 70mph highway, my vehicle started sputtering and would not retain speed. I kept my foot on the gas, and it was losing speed at an alarming rate. I was now going 35 on a 70mph road. I pulled to the berm, with my hazards on, and tried to regain normal highway speeds. Found a safe spot to park, had to have it towed (usaa insurance) to a mechanic. Mechanic could not register code, he towed it to another mechanic. Cvt transmission went. Known problem with altima's. Nissan knows of the problem. Had to have it towed to my home state ($500, no receipt, as it is not here yet). Need to take it to an authorized nissan dealer and pay for it out of pocket(37-3900, no receipt, can not afford it). Had to rent a car to get home ($300, my sister rented it). I had children in the car, ready for vacation, and they were scared we were going to get into an accident because of the CVT transmission issues. So far, I am out of pocket 571.62, not to mention the almost 4 thousand dollars I am facing.
Cvt transmission shutters, slips and shuts down the engine when stopping. Diagnostic was performed at dealership and resulted in bad transmission. Also passenger airbag deactivates intermittently even while someone is sitting
When coming to a stop sign or a red light the car shuts dow. And the car bucks when you try to start it again. After several attempts it may ot may not start again. The car was in motion when this happened.
Transmission will go back and forth between dying and reviving up. Seems to be a very common problem, but no recalls. Per nissan now, the transmission is dead and needs to be replaced.
Car in motion at the time when it started jerking, car was in reverse to get out of parking spot. Stepped on gas petal continued on the road, started jerking worse as the car turned onto exit. Car pulled over and stopped.
Acceleration issues. Sporadically the car will do nothing when we step on the accelerator. It is dangerous because it happens randomly and we essentially have zero power to move. After holding the accelerator down for a number of seconds the car will then abnormally start to accelerate and rev up on rpms but will not accelerate as normal. It's as if the transmission is thoroughly confused. I continued to drive the car and it could never get over 60 MPH regardless of how far I stepped on the accelerator. I have video of the behavior. The issue continues at random times and we feel incredibly unsafe when we are in traffic because the car will idle forward but do nothing even when accerator is depressed. I took it to the dealer with video of the vehicles crazy behavior; they have told me that the computer says nothing is wrong with it. They tell me to continue to drive until it gets worse. This is not acceptable because we are at risk of an accident when you try to accelerate but the car does nothing but idle forward; it catches us off guard and we are concerned about idling into on coming traffic when making turns. I have contacted nissan who said they have no interest in watching the video and that the computer indicates nothing wrong with my car. We are incredibly worried about driving this car and feel nissan is covering up an issue. It was admitted to me by the dealer that this is a common problem with many of their cvts; it is evident in consumer information on the internet as well. I get the impression nissan has no interest in the safety of the community; starting with the fact that neither the dealer nor consumer affairs has interest in watching the videos showing the very serious issue. I can provide video to the federal safety agency upon request. Thank you.
