Subject: Urgent Complaint Regarding Nissan Altima CVT Transmission and Emergency Brake System Failure I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent failure of my Nissan Altima's CVT transmission and emergency brake system. This unexpected issue has jeopardized the safety of myself and others on the road, and I urgently need assistance in resolving these critical issues. The failure was confirmed by a trusted, who emphasized the seriousness of the situation. Without warning signs or symptoms leading up to the failure, the safety implications are even more concerning. I kindly request immediate action from the manufacturer to investigate and provide a solution to ensure the safety of all Nissan Altima owners. Additionally, I seek assistance from insurance representatives and other relevant parties in addressing this urgent matter, including guidance on replacing my transmission. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to a swift and satisfactory resolution. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Multiple times the car will brake while triggering the forward collision warning, sending the car into a limp mode of 40mph. This occurs at a stop sign/light, or while passing a car. I had the part replaced and the problem continues.

The BACKUP CAMERA LENSE has become blurry and makes it harder to recognize objects. My vehicle has only 38K + miles on it. I own a 2017 1/2 Nissan Altima SV.

At certain times the front impact radar will say it is blocked or not functioning. Twice it has actually applied the brakes with nothing in front of it. Now the air bag light is on and will not go off.

My 2017 altima had been jerking, almost felt like the transmission was slipping. This would occur at random acceleration causing the vehicle to stall for brief seconds before it would actually accelerate. On top of that vehicle has now started a loud wining sound that gets louder when trying to accelerate. The car will not move for several seconds and then gradually it will begin to take off. This happens at every stop or slow down made. My cruise control no longer works either. Several times in the past I had issues with the vehicle not wanting to shift out of first gear. Since then this is what has occured. At this point I can no longer drive the vehicle due to no acceleration and im afraid that I might cause an accident due to extremely slow if not any take off from any stop. I am very upset over this issue considering everything I have read up on all leads back to the CVT transmission problems from several other owners, and the fact that several recalls have been made due to this, but for some reason not the 2017 altima? It is apparent to me that this year has also been affected. I am a single mother and can't afford another exspince at this time especially since I lost my job due to covid-19. Now I am unemployed and cant drive my car due to transmission problems that obviously seems to be a reaccuring problem for nissans with the CVT transmissions.

I have a 2017 nissan altima and the ABS light comes on and off. I reported the issue to nissan but I was told that because my car was not listed in the campaign there was nothing that they could do.

My 2017 nissan altima that currently has 35,000 simply lost all power. I couldn't use the fob key to open the door, there were no lights, no radio, nothing. Because it is still under manufacturer warranty, I had it towed to the dealership and left it with them for two days for them to figure out what's wrong. They weren't able to specifically identify what was wrong. The car eventually started once they hooked it up to the diagnostic computer. The lights came on and the car alarm was activated. The mechanics were totally dumbfounded by the events. They couldn't tell me what was the reason for the car losing all power. Two days leading up to the car losing all power, I noticed that while driving at a speed that is with the flow of traffic, if for whatever reason I have to slow or come to a complete stop, the car shutters. It felt as if the car was about lose power and shutdown. I had a similar experience with my 2011 nissan altima. It actually shutdown a couple of times in the middle of traffic a couple times. The problem was fixed with a recall that updated some sort of software for that car and after that update I never had the problem again. I gave that car to my parents and they have never experienced it shutting now. The problem that I have been experiencing with the 2017 car is identical to the problem I had with the 2011 altima. It is flat out dangerous and I am concern it could cost me my life.

The front emergency braking (feb) warning light comes on and off randomly while driving. The warning states, " front radar unavailable due to obstruction". This has occurred while driving on city streets, short and long distance driving, as well as on the highway and while turning. This was especially concerning when it happened while making a turn. The warning went off in the middle of making a turn and it was disorienting as it was completely unexpected.. This warning now goes off randomly on a daily basis and I just bought the car 2 weeks ago.
