Nissan Quest shudder problems

Filed Apr 13, 2024 · Transmission · PA

Car need transmission replaced - there is no warning on car that transmission is having major issues (ie no check engine light). My car shakes on turning this has been on going since I purchased the car in 2017. In late 2023 the car did not have as much pick up power like it used to and had a whining noise once you drive for a while (without the power it used to). There were no check engine light warning to date. On 1/12/24 I used auto zone engine diagnostic and following error codes came up - P17FO - CVT JUDDER P17F2 -JUDDER T/C inspection Diagnostic at AAMCO ON 3/25/24 show additional issues that don’t show any warning signs eg check engine light PER AAMCO additional issues: Engine missing cylinder 3,4; and cylinder 1 is misfiring. Transmission juddering around 2nd gear, chain slipping under pressure…transmission having internal mechanical failure. I am not sure if these issues are serious enough to show as check engine. If they should I don’t know why my car check engine light is not on?

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Quest. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the contact shifted the CVT transmission into low (L) manually. The contact stated that the vehicle began to vibrate and then began to shake the entire vehicle. The contact removed his foot from the accelerator pedal and started to tap the brakes. The contact stated that the vehicle started to shake more violently while slowing down. The contact stopped the vehicle and felt resistance from the shift lever while attempting to shift the vehicle into park (P). The contact stated that the check engine warning light momentarily illuminated, but then turned off. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent but had reoccurred without manually shifting gear. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who scanned the vehicle and retrieved DTC code: P17F1 (CVT Judder). The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 136,022.

I was driving on the roadway when I felt a jolt and my 2017 Nissan Quest suddenly would not accelerate. I was almost rear-ended and had to come to a stop in a moving lane of traffic. I had no warning lights or previous symptoms, and my Quest has about 80,000 miles. I had my vehicle towed to a local mechanic and was told that they have seen many other similar issues with the Nissan Quest's premature CVT transmission failure. The codes thrown indicated CVT transmission "judder." They recommend that I call AAA and have it towed to a Nissan dealership. I had my Quest towed to a local Nissan dealership and was told the transmission would cost $6200 to repair, which is more than it is worth.

I was driving and unable to accelerate. The vehicle judders at low speeds. There is a winning sound that comes from the engine. I have had multiple sensors replaced for the CVT but nothing has fixed this issue.

Car was parked on a parking lot on a very slight decline. Low fuel indicator just came on but distance to empty indicator still shows 50+ miles. Vehicle started at first but started to shudder and then engine died. Tried restarting a few times but it will just shut off right away. All electrical components were fine (radio, lights, etc). Had to put 2 gallons of gas to get it to start again. Drove to the gas station right away and filled it up with only 14.5 gallons of tank. Manual says vehicle has 20 gallon fuel tank capacity. I was aware of the recall (campaign: 12v076000) but initially thought that my vehicle was not included since the campaign was back in march 2012 and I bought the vehicle in july 2012. Was later confirmed by nissan consumer affairs and dealer service advisor that my car was indeed not included in the recall. However, car shows similar symptoms with same model cars that were recalled.

Vehicle lost power on highway in rainstorm. Were able to steer to side of road. Upon inspection by a mechanic, we discovered the ECM (computer) to be extremely corroded. We had it replaced for $1100.00. There was no nearby nissan dealer, but the master mechanic who replaced the part did order it from nissan. They would not honor the warranty, as the part was not installed by the dealer. I visited a site, questdriver.com where I found several similar complaints regarding 2004-2006 nissan quests. Never was the warranty honored because nissan said they would not cover faulty parts corroded or rusty. Many drivers cars stalled in compromising situations, as we did. There was threat of a class action suit, though I don't know the outcome. The ECM I purchased just failed again yesterday. I was approaching a busy intersection, but was able to pull over onto a side road. Had I pulled out into the intersection and stalled, I shudder to think where could have happened. The same part is corroded again. It is a design flaw in the placement of the part, just under the windshield, where it is exposed to rain. Nissan should find a way to shield this part from the elements and honor the warranty or replace the part at no cost. Thank you.

Bad vibration when braking, changed rotors and pads on front brakes seem to make the problem less but after a period of time a clunking noise 5000 miles was starting to be heard. Control arm ball joint on right side had excessive play and was replaced, but that did not get ride of the shudder in the braking situation. Told it was warped brakes, replaced break rotors and pads 1000 miles . Still no difference in the shudder is still there rotated the tires no difference in the shudder. I had new tires in the car when the right front wheel fell off. No stud-lugs could be found and major damage to front fender and bumper. Our au pair driver reported a noise coming from somewhere but visual inspection did not indicate where the problem was. Continued to drive when the noise became louder pull off interstate to shoulder at about 15 MPH tile fell off. Body and mechanical work will be done. To correct the problem.
