2015 Nissan Altima: stuck in gear or won't shift

Filed Mar 11, 2024 · Electrical, Transmission · TX

I have a issue with my vehicle going into LIMP MODE due to a safety issue with the TCM loosing programming with the transmission. This is a BIG SAFETY as I'm on the Hi way. Car will go from 75 mph down to 20mph and can cause for severe car accident. I spike to your warranty department and they gave me the run around. I gave them Info in reguards to a Campaing ID# Which is a clear issue that these NISSAN CARS are still having. A recall was terminated in late 2016, yet a bulletin was posted online of it being active as of 1/ 2017 still. I was told that it's MY PROBLEM NOW AND MY ISSUE TO HAVE NISSAN CHARGE ME FOR A REPROGRAMMING of the TCM when Clearly this issue is still present in. Vehicles in 2024. Many of times I came close to averting a major accident due to car loosing communications with TCM. AGAIN this is very unfair as to how a dealership can brush this SAFETY ISSUE UNDER THE RUG BY SIMPLY TELLING A NISSAN VEHICLE OWNER, SORRY RECALL WAS CLOSED, AFTER LESS THEN A YEAR OF FINDING OUT THE ISSUE ON A CAR. NISSAN must want someone to end up DEAD in there cars due to a TCM MALFUNCTION WITH TRANSMISSION SO THEY CAN BRING THIS TO LIGHT AGAIN. THE SERVICE BULLETIN IS STILL OUT THERE ON THERE FORUMS AND STATES NOTHING ABOUT WARRANTY, MILAGE OF VEHICLE OR ANY TIME FRAME, YET DENY THAT THE ISSUE STILL EXIST IN THERE VEHICLES. I HOPE YOU ALL CAN INVESTIGATE THIS FURTHER AND HAVE NISSAN CORRECT THERE WRONGS AND NOT ALLOW SOMEONE TO DIE ON ANY AMERICAM ROAD DUE TO THERE NEGLECT OF A STILL PERSISTANT ISSUE...

My transmission has went on my car. I’ve only had my car for 3 years. The car isn’t that old..while driving on the highway my car stopped and would not shift gears.I took my car to Nissan they claimed to fix the problem but my car stopped on me once Again while driving. The dealership fixed sensors in the engine. After the problem was not fixed the said it was my transmission. This is a safety issue and could have caused a accident. Other Nissan drivers are having this same issues..this is happening to multiple Nissans around the country. There should be a recall opened on the transmissions. Why should we the customers hav to pay for faulty transmissions.

I parked the car for a few minutes left it idling. When I returned, strapped my child in the car seat then got in waiting for her mother. When she got in pulled out of the spot the car hesitated to accelerate, I drove a few miles in what I got to know as limp mode trying to understand what's going on. When we reached destination, turn car off and then back on it was fine. Returned them home then on my way home it happened again. I diagnosed the car and got p0776 solenoid stuck/off. It seems these cars have an issue not being addressed I just buy the car with 68000 miles if this happens again I'm going to the dealer and they better fix it at no cost to me or give me another car I don't need expensive problems. Why hasn't these car been recalled. Clearly this is a safety issue.

My nissan altima CVT transmission is going up again. This is the third time and nissan had my car for almost three weeks and I had to call and see a status and if I didn't I still wouldn't of got a call about it. They told me they did a software update on the control module of the transmission and there is a note in my account that I can bring it up as many times as I need to with no charge to me. Are you kidding me red flag, and lets not forget this is the third time they had my vehicle on the same problem and this is a red flag for not knowing how many more times this will happen in the future but it will happen. The CVT transmission is a vehicle with no reliability with it, costs you an arm and leg, and the car is crap. They all need to be recalled. The vehicle makes a whiney nose going down or up hills, the RPM's get stuck in 2nd gear and don't let you go above 20mph unless you take your foot off and then stomp it to the floor to kick it out of gear, and the car tries to overdue your driving to do its own. The transmission is crap and needs to be recalled after all the reviews out there saying the same thing from 2008 to at least 2015 or 2016.

My vehicle goes into "limp mode" (the dealership used this term) suddenly while driving. I was driving 35 MPH and suddenly it won't go even 20 MPH. This has happened on 5 occasions. Most recently last week. 1st time at 20k miles I had the valve body replaced, 2nd time the CVT was reprogrammed, 3rd time there were no codes, 4th time the CVT was reprogrammed and now 5th time at 51k miles the valve body is being replaced again. I noticed the issue starting when the vehicle will not accelerate while driving or even from a stop sign or stop light. I contacted nissan consumer affairs to investigate (this is the 2nd time I asked them to investigate). This final time I was told I would be getting a new transmission since 7 codes showed on the scan but they just called me and told me they replaced the valve body again.
