My car is in excellent condition. Just under 7 years old and my transmission has to be replaced. The transmission began slipping and RPM 's were high when I was driving on the highway.

Cvt transmission are not, not cars! there was a recall up to 2010, but they continued to make them with cvt! often when driving my car it lose all acceleration! I went to Nissan and there was no issue on the diagnostic tool and they said that due to this being the main job of the cht, they said a cooling kit can be installed, which it was. 2 years later, my car again slips into neutral. My gear shift moves sometimes and other times, just no acceleration this has happened now over 10 times in 2 days!!!!!! because the issue is not showing on diagnostic, they will not look at the cars transmission, trans fluid, or the gear shift. They wouldn't do a thing to my car! this is forcing me to drive with unsafe conditions! I am taking into a real and honest mechanic!! Nissan knows there is an issue and that many drivers are driving dangerously, as they refuse to do the right thing!!! there is no dipstick to check the transmission fluid or else I would do it myself. Do the right thing and save many people from getting into accidents and potentially losing their lives!!! coming off an off ramp, no acceleration; driving on a highway no acceleration, pulling out of my driveway after warming my car up non acceleration. This is dangerous and illegal!!!!! this issue began 2-3 years ago, was temporarily fixed wit the cooling kit that I had to pay for out of pocket, and has been happening consistently for the last 5 days!!!! google this issue and there are thousands of people with the same issue and Nissan offering no help nor even a simple mechanic once over look!!!! I am a social worker who works with children in foster care, often tranporting them from unsafe conditions to situations that I am promising are more safe and comfortable! I can no longer promise them this if my car is unsafe!! I have almost been in a minimum of 5 accidents because of this issue! dealership no help!!

While driving on highway doing speed 70 to 80mph, vehicle begins to reduce speed and goes into like a safe mode. Very unsafe on interstate highway. While searching on google find out cvt transmission vechile only has 81823 miles on it. Nissan needs to cover the warranty to fix the vechile.

Takata recall. I was traveling on the interstate, in heavy traffic, when my car began to slow it refused to maintain my speed or accelerate at all. I had to pull into the median to avoid being hit by an 18 wheeler. I had my sister and two of our little kids in the car with me. This is not the only time it has done this it has done it several times now and the mechanics can't find anything wrong. I have read several places where others have had this same issue.... I believe their is a manufacturer default with either the acceleration or transmission.... it just revs up sounds like it's doing something but not increasing speed. I have noticed that it occurs mostly after I have been traveling a while...like about an hour and a half or

My Nissan Altima 2012 has significant reduction in speed while taking trips less than 40 miles. Driving on fast lane on highway about 70 miles then all of a sudden it reduces all by itself to 35-40 mph and I almost got into in accident because I did to know what was going on but had to get off the onto the side of the highway.

2012 Nissan Altima sl 115,425 miles and transmission dead.

Since when my car had 31,000 miles it's been winging and losing power rapidly, no acceleration, it's a cvt transmission issue. It's a really dangerous car. It's been happening so many times. Nissan cvt transmission are very danger. It can cause an accident in the freeway because it can go from 65 mph down to 5 mph rapidly and unexpectedly. Please do something about it and protect the life of people.

After driving for about two hours on a trip the cvt transmission stops accelerating and you slow to a crawl which is very dangerous if your in heavy traffic was almost killed by a big rig who couldn't slow down in time

- Mariposa, CA, USA

The 2012 Nissan Altima coupe 3.5 6 speed manual transmission was in motion on a city street when sudden loss of clutch pressure occurred. This resulted in the inability to change gears and therefore effectively control the speed of the vehicle outside minimum and maximum speed specifications for the given gear. This was the result of a faulty concentric clutch slave cylinder.

My 2012 Altima 2.5S has shut down transmission wise(cvt) and it will not speed up even when gas pedal is all the way to the floor! today it did this for a total of 120 miles...this is a safety issue when you cant get your car out of the way of even get to the shoulder because nothing happens when the gas is pushed down...I barely made it home today with of course a torrential downpour and my car wouldnt respond...I googled "2012 Altima will not speed up going uphill" what I found are too many complaints with the same exact problem and Nissan does nothing about it...whats it going to take" someone getting killed which is what it usually takes to get something positive done" Nissan needs to do a recall on this immediately..

When traveling on freeway at 70-100 mph car will loose acceleration and slowly slow down to 40 mph no matter how far the gas pedal is depressed. Will not regain power until the car is pulled over shut off and within 5-10 minutes restarted and will repeat again within 15 -20 minutes of reaching 70 mph.

- Orange Park, FL, USA

Sustained driving more than an hour the transmission overheats and forces sensor to "fail safe mode" causing vehicle to drive only at low speed. This is a safety issue on the open road due to driving way under posted speed or having to stop N road side.

While driving on a highway at 75mph, my car just stopped going. I decelerated very quickly. I was pressing gas pedal to the floor and car would not increase speed. It just would not go. The rpms went over 3,000. No check engine light came on. I didn't even have any warning in the days leading up to this event that this would happen. There were a lot of vehicles on road at that particular time and a truck happened to be driving behind me. The truck and other vehicles were all swerving on either side of me to get out of my lane and as a result, I could not get my vehicle off of the road until they all passed. As I kept coasting along waiting for opportunity to pull over to side of road, I kept pressing gas pedal. Eventually that worked and I began to pick up speed again, but my car was accelerating very slowly. I drove to exit and got off of highway. I waited about an hour before returning home same way. On drive home accelerating was slow and rpms were erractic. There was also a whining noise when I gave car gas. This happened once more. I no longer drive car on highway so I haven't experienced it stopping while driving, but it still whines, accelerates slowly, and rpms are erratic. Vehicle has been parked at service department at dealership. My car only has 108,000 miles on it. I've never missed any scheduled maintenance which dealership performed majority of it. The warranty was only covered up to 60,000 miles. Now I'm told that at 108,000 miles, I need a new tcc, valve body, and solenoids.

After driving vehicle for 1 hour or more, vehicle goes into fail-safe mode, meaning the rpms will not go over 2500. So, if one is on the highway going 70 mph, then arrives at a hill, then the vehicle speed could decrease to 40 mph. According to mechanic, this is a known issue and Nissan has a service kit for this exact issue. I am not sure why it is not a recall...

Transmission stopped working. Car stopped moving.

After I have been driving my car for 45 min on the freeway going around 70-85 mph the car loses power and almost feels like it is going to stall. Once I was off the freeway at the intersection when I accelerated my car would barely move. This seems like a huge safety issue. I have heard of others almost being rear ended because of this same issue. They say its due to the transmission overheating and going into safe mode in hot temperatures. My vehicle was doing this when it was 65 degrees outside. I think since this seems to be a common problem and with the safety being a concern Nissan should do something about it.

1st incident: Driving on hwy 5 in ca on a hot day at freeway speed car suddenly lost power and dropped below 30 mph. Pulled off of hwy and shut vehicle off for about 30 minutes and no longer experienced this issue. 2nd incident: Driving on interstate 80 in ca in 95-100 degree weather. Got off freeway and car lost power again this time not going over 5 mph. Took vehicle to Nissan dealer for diagnostics. They said they could not replicate problem when driving but "mileage in" was the same as "mileage out" which tells me they didn't drive very far if at all. They put it on diagnostic machine and got a code saying "cvt a at 4" and "cvt B at 7" cvt has been overheated. Recommend replace valve body and install external cooler for concern. I've read many complaints about same issue with Nissan cvt transmission.

- Vacaville, CA, USA

In warm weather, car consistently goes into limp mode. It will only achieve speeds of around 30mph even though rpms are accelerating. I have to stop the car and wait for 20 minutes in order to drive it again. Doesn't seem to happen when outdoor temperatures are cooler. This has been happening for several months and is apparently a well-documented issue with other Nissan Altima owners.

My vehicle is 5 years old and I have had to replace the radiator and now the transmission. There are over 700 complaints of this same issue with the NHTSA and Consumer Affairs. I have taken my vehicle into the dealer twice for this issue and this ongoing issue is going to hurt or even kill someone. Nissan is fully aware of the cvt issues and this needs to be resolved. This recently happened this past weekend (2nd time now). We traveled maybe 35 miles, when the transmission started to whine just before we reached the exit, I was unable to accelerate. No lights, no warnings, nothing stating there was an issue. My car had to be towed to a local auto shop, where they stated they could not address the problem as it is most likely the transmission. It was then, again towed to the dealer. Ken garff Nissan. Where I was told that my 5 year old car needs a new transmission! a year to date I had to replace my radiator, water pump, serpentine belt ect! this is not okay and not acceptable. Should I have had my daughter in the car and lost acceleration on the freeway, I cant event fathom. This issue transmission defect has substantially impaired the use, market value and most of all the safety of the vehicle. My family is worth more than this defective vehicle. The dealership has been more than helpful and they agreed a 5 year old car should not be having all these issues. I am asking that Nissan do the right thing and fix this problem and care about the consumer. I truly want to believe that Nissan cares about their consumers and I really hope that they review this complaint and act upon it, doing the right thing and recall these engines. I was blown away by how many Nissan owners experienced the same issue and filed complaints with the BBB, carguru, Nissan and Consumer Affairs. Please, have this looked into. I know Nissan is fully aware and this needs to be corrected.
