The Altima has 170k miles. We-??ll taken care off. I was driving to work and out off nowhere the car lost power the speedometer stopped working and wouldn-??t show me how fast I was going and I had to stopped and it lost all power. I tried looking everywhere for the problem to fix it and they told me they couldn-??t get the part and told to come here and hopefully this helps, at the moment I dint have enough money to buy a car. The car has not been inspected but but the cops Or insurance. There were no warning prior to this accident it happened outta no where.

The Transmission failed at 51,000 miles. It has not come to a grinding halt yet but poses a safety hazard on any long trips. It was only a strange noise that varied with the acceleration that tipped us off that there might be a problem. The car is 14 years old now but my wife put very few miles on it and it still should be working. Regularly maintained by my local Nissan dealer for the lifespan of the car. Having now seen many other notices on Nissan transmissions for this and other model years you think Nissan would have recalled the cars and addressed the problem. I am very disappointed with Nissan and will buy another brand for my wife's next car.

I was driving and my car started shaking. The engine light came on and I had to go get it checked out so I did and the guy said my transmission could explode on me, stop while I'm driving, or stop working randomly.

I recently just purchased this car and the check engine light came on so I checked it. Turns out there is something wrong with a circuit in the transmission. It will give out on me.

2007 Nissan Altima. Consumer writes in regard to potential safety hazard concerning cvt transmission failure.

Re: 2007 Nissan Altima - cvt transmission: I was on the Pennsylvania turnpike and more than halfway to my destination, as I increased acceleration from 55 to 65 mph, the engine began straining and the tachometer increased to 3500 rpms. The automatic transmission would not auto shift. I backed off the accelerator and maintained a speed of 55 mph. Eventually, I arrived at my destination. On my return trip, the problem occurred again, this time only worse. Again, I didn't push the vehicle to high speeds. By the time I exited the Pennsylvania turnpike, I could not accelerate the car beyond 45-50 mph without the tachometer once again climbing to alarmingly high levels. The engine whined as if it were straining mightily to shift into the proper high gear. I immediately drove the car to my qualified mechanic who ran a diagnostic test. Several codes indicated transmission failure. My Nissan has the cvt transmission which I now understand is deeply flawed transmission. I was unaware of the problems with this transmission until I did extensive research of my own and learned that many Nissan owners had experienced situations identical to mine. I called Nissan and a case was created (#34468600). I was informed that Nissan has completely absolved itself of all responsibility since my vehicle has 153K miles on the odometer. At no time since I've owned this vehicle have I received a recall notification from Nissan indicating this problem. This is unacceptable. When a multinational corporation absolves themselves of all responsibility after creating and selling a product that is well documented as being deficient, it becomes eerily reminiscent of Volkswagen's emission scandal and Audi's sudden acceleration problem.

"takata recall" I was driving in town & car started to do somewhat of a "jump/skip" when it was trying to shift gears one day.then it drove fine for a few days. Then a few days later as I was completing a left hand turn, car decides that it wasn't going to do anything! it wouldn't move & smoke started coming out from under hood. Thank goodness I coasted off to the side of the road. I had to have car towed.mechanic informs me, transmission went out. Car only has 144000 miles! I've cars that have more miles then that! come on Nissan, why are your transmissions going out so fast!

While driving on hwy ** a very busy street the transmission acted up. Would not shift into 1st gear after pulling into traffic. Car started jerking and lost power almost causing a accident. Had to stop the car put it in park turned it off and back on and then it was normal for a short bit, the once you hit 50-60 mph the car began jerking again. We managed to get over to the side of the road to try to restart and take off again.we never know when this can or will happen. I have read several people complaining of this same issue. This needs to be addressed before someone is killed in a accident over this problem. There are several of these vehicles on the road with this same problem. Would hate to hear of my love ones or yours hurt or killed over this transmission issue. Thank you

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Altima. While driving between 5-45 mph, the transmission began to slip. The vehicle would jerk while stationary or while driving at low speeds. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to round rock Nissan (located at 3050 N interstate hwy 35, round rock, tx 78681, (512) 244-8500) and was informed that nothing could be done besides replacing the transmission. The dealer stated that diagnostic testing could not be performed on the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 33599371. The approximate failure mileage was 109,600.

I've owned this vehicle for 2 1/2 years now and every time I drive home from los angeles my transmission has acted up. I don't work, so it's only driven there occasionally which has helped it last this long. Now the tranny is overheating and can't be driven uphill without it failing to get me home which is almost completely uphill for an hour. Even from bakersfield it is overheating now which it didn't do before and this has been an ongoing problem with their cvt transmissions and there should have been a recall on them with a change to atf instead. It says there is a recall for my year, but Nissan.com says no..what can I do?

- Frazier Park, CA, USA

I had my vehicle maintained at the same dealership I bought it from since I first purchased the car and was never notified of the cvt transmission issues. Over the last few years I told them that the vehicle whined when I accelerated on the highway but they never recommended replacing the transmission under the 10 yr or 120,000 mile warranty. The transmission just failed at 136,000 miles and the manufacturer said that they would not honor the warranty.

While driving my 2007 Nissan Altima the RPM drops and the car loses power. The check engine light gives a code for the catalyst converter but the light goes on and off. Once the RPM drops and all of the lights on the dashboard start blinking, the car jerks and stall. I have to pull over and put the car in park for a few minutes. The car jerks again and drives normal for about 15 minutes and then it repeats itself.
