Transmission fail at 115000 miles car wont accelerate

- Louisville, KY, USA

I bought a 2011 Nissan Altima and at 127,000 miles the transmission is slipping and when it warms up the car will not go over 50 mph. Transmission will not shift. There should be a recall for these transmission from everything I'm finding out about them now. At this point with what this is costing I won't by another Nissan when they don't believe there's an issue with these transmission.

Cat transmission failure at 129K miles. Winding noise and slipping. Car would not accelerate at any given time. This is a cvt transmission that Nissan has an issue with and refuses to own up to it. Not a safe vehicle to be driving in city or open highways. Nissan want me to pay 3-4 grand to fix. Can someone please wake these people

Our 2011 Nissan Altima just went over 80,000 miles and the transmission stopped working. My son was driving along some back roads at a low rate of speed and all of a sudden it gave out, the engine wil lrev but no power. Had it towed to a transmission repair shop who does a lot of work on these cvt transmissions and he said it needed to be replaced. Quoted me $3500 for a brand new Nissan factory transmission and said he recommended getting the new one rather than trying to fix the old one because he has ton a lot of work on these transmissions. I do no understand why Nissan stopped their extended warranty coverage on the cvt transmission at the 2010 model year.

Failing to accelerate, slipping, jerking, stalling

- El Dorado Hills, CA, USA

I have a 2011 Nissan Altima. Car was "acting up" and so I took it to a Firestone service center. They said it was the transmission and I should take it to a Nissan dealer. So, I took it to the Nissan dealer that I purchased the car from and they told me I needed a software update. Which they did for $153. Two weeks later while driving from Ohio to Tennessee, the transmission went out and I had it towed. The cost for repair will be $4800

When it is hot outside and the car has been driven for a long period of time the cvt transmission will make a whining noise. I noticed it when I was on the highway going about 70 mph. Because of this strange noise, I exited. When I was going 30 mph+ and accelerating the whining continued to happen. I am not sure what would cause this, but it sounds like a belt inside the transmission is slipping. It now stutters at times when going about 10 mph. When "shifting" down from 20 mph it will jerk.

- San Marcos, TX, USA

The transmission just went out at 100,000 miles. I'm told the transmission is a cvt transmission and this is pretty much normal. I'm looking at a $4000 cost just to put another cvt transmission into

- Carmel, IN, USA

Merging into traffic after stopping at a stop sign the gas pedal became unresponsive. Was able to pull to side and avoid collision and gas pedal began working after pumping and a few moments. Had three kids in the car and only dumb luck prevented accident. Brought to dealer the following day and it was a transmission issue

- Coventry, CT, USA

The 2011 Nissan Altima has a cvt transmission and this continues to go out and will every 12,000 miles. No service provider wants to fix this issue because of the unreliable part and not only is this is a costly fix but it only guarantee the most a year or less (close to $3000 to fix). I don't understand how the other models with Nissan with this type of transmission the warranty was extended. I believe any vehicle with a cvt transmission needs to be recalled and replaced.

Nissan cvt (transmission). The vehicle when in motion seems to be stuck " in gear" when pressing the accelerator it feels restrained and labored with a noisy almost whining sound. There seems to be no "up-shift" although the cvts are specifically designed to not make the bumping transitions, it seems to be restraining the car from picking up speed with laboring whine.

The vehicle began making a whining noise during acceleration and then loss power on the interstate and would not go over 40mph even with the gas pedal depressed all the way making a very unsafe situation for my family. I've done research and found several other owners complaining of the same issue and receiving no assistance from Nissan on this obvious safety issue.

After an hour of highway driving, in warm weather, transmission goes into safe mode, loses power, transmission shuts down. Peddle to the floor and zippo, nothing, no power, very dangerous when on highway. Nissan was of no help. Their cvt tranny is he problem. Some models were recalled already and some warranties were extended, bur not mine. They want over 5 grand to replace trans.
