Transmission failure not covered under recall because it is over 84,000 miles

Driving down the US23/119 interstate near pikeville, ky the vehicle suddenly started decelerating from 60 mph and would no longer allow acceleration. The vehicle speed kept decreasing until it was going less than 20 mph and th driver had to pull off to the side of the road. After a tow to the Nissan dealership, the problem was diagnosed to be a faulty transmission. The danger was it occurred so suddenly while driving on the interstate with no warning and vehicles easily could have collided with our vehicle. Upon learning of the repair needed I searched for other similar issues with the Nissan Altima. I found there was a class action lawsuit settlement for 2013-16 vehicles due to faulty transmission. The suit settled with an extension of the warranty by 24 months or 24,000 miles. However, this resolution, in my opinion, is not sufficient to protect the consumers from paying often in excess of $3000 for a repair and the risk of life while driving a known faulty product. Nissan should be required to increase the warranty period to be more tied to the life of a transmission and protect consumers of potential injuries due to their known faulty product.

My 2015 Nissan Altima began stalling when I engaged the accelerator pedal. It stalled and eventually sounded as if it were struggling to shift gears began moving forward. While driving 55 mph, I was forced to abruptly engage the brake pedal to avoid crashing into another vehicle; however, when I applied the accelerator pedal the vehicle strained to move forward and accelerate but within a few minutes I was able to drive the normal speed. The vehicle does hesitate every time I drive it.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to lee Nissan (4170-a raleigh rd pkwy w, wilson, nc 27896), to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the cvt transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but could not assist the consumer due to the failure mileage being 117,954.

Driving home the other day on the highway my RPM will go high when pressing the gas pedal but the car would not accelerate and when I asked my mechanic what was the problem I was told me he's sure it's the transmission because it's a known issue with the Nissan Altima

I leased this vehicle in 2015 and purchased it in 2018 with 60003 miles. I began experiencing a loss of acceleration from a stop at about 80K miles, it happened intermittently a few times over the next year. My vehicle just broke 100K miles, the issue has become much more frequent in the last month, when pulling out across traffic, when starting from a stop light or sign. The vehicle has little to no response when the accelerator is pressed, or even pressed all the way to the floor. It will sometimes engage after putting the car back into park, and then back into drive. Other times it will very slowly accelerate taking as much as 30 seconds to increase 10 mph. I did some basic internet research and found many Nissan vehicles with cvt transmissions have issues, and subsequent class action lawsuits. I took my vehicle into the dealer, with 102K miles. The dealer diagnosed the faulty cvt, and indicated that my specific model does not have its transmission under warranty up to 120K miles like other vehicles, and that the vehicle warranty is only valid up to 84K miles. I asked for documentation as I could not find any on the web designating this new 84K mile limitation, they emailed me an image of a service bulletin indicating 84K miles as the limitation where Nissan accepts liability for this known issue. This is extremely dangerous as the vehicle will begin to accelerate and then have nothing after you have pulled into traffic. Luckily, I have not been hit while entering or turning across traffic. So it happens when stationary and in motion, on city streets and highways, both turning and going straight.

- Irving, TX, USA

Car will frequently delay moving forward from a stop when pressing the gas. It take about 5 seconds for it to respond. Also the car does not automatically shift when accelerating. I have to take my foot off the gas for the car to shift to stop the rpms from revving too high. This will occurs when trying to gain speed from a stop. These are both safety issues because my cars reactionary time is delayed or impaired.

I contacted the clay cooley dealership in dallas found at 39690 lyndon B johnson fwy South, dallas, tx 75237 on May 1st, 20202 via chat for an airbag service recall. After over a month contacting the dealership, I have not received one phone call or email from clay cooley Nissan. During this time, I spoke with four (4) different representatives over the chat about the need to schedule an airbag service recall. After the second representative in a period of two weeks, all representatives apologized for no one contacting me about the issue and assured a specialist would contacted me soon. Today is 5/31 and I'm still waiting on the phone call or email. I'm attaching the copy of all chat with the representatives.

When coming to a stop the car will shake a little bit and then when I go to accelerate through a light the transmission will slip and the car will just sit there for a few seconds and then the transmission will kick in and there will be a jerk and off I go. This happens way too often. This happens alot. Your entries only have place for 1 date. Bedn happening on and off for over a year.

- Littleton, CO, USA

Will not accelerate from the start. Has a few second delay before acceleration occurs. This occurs when the car is stationary and need to start accelerating at a red light or stop sign. Sometimes I have to put the car in park, shut it off and restart it while at a red light.

- Birdsboro, PA, USA

The vehicle was parked. It rained and the water flooded in through some drain. Now the vehicle had 2 inches of water on the passenger side, front and back. I called Nissan and they are not accepting responsibility. The vehicle is developing mold and electrical issues. It is not safe to sit on the passenger side and is a major health and safety issue. This is manufacturing issue but the dealership is attempting to make me pay for repairs since the car is out of warranty.

Transmission stutters while driving. This happens on highways and regular street driving. Doesn't matter what speed.

- Carver, MA, USA

The cvt transmission was idling high when driving and while sitting at a light. Without realizing it was the transmission, the car would jerk while on the highway. As the car was driving tland with your foot on the gas it would idle to the top and when it came to a complete stop you put your foot on the gas and it wouldn't move for a few seconds then it would jerk into gear and take out. Eventually it would stall at 2nd gear amd of I was crossing traffic or turning a corner it would stall for a few seconds then kick into high gear with a hard jerk.

I have noticed that when pressing down on the the acceleration pedal there is sometimes an extended delay and the car does not move. It does not happen always, but I have read that alot people are having the same issues, and no one seems to know the cause. Personally, after putting the car in park, turning off and turning on the car seems to allow it to accelerate again. My specific experience with this happened twice in a two week span. I was stopped at a light with the brake pedal pressed down on a regular two way roadway. As the light turned green, I attempted to accelerate by pressing the gas pedal but the car would not move, and the rpms would just go up. This same experience happened another time as well. Please look into it as a possible recall for some programming on this cvt transmission, as this could be a very potentially bad risk, especially driving on the highway where losing the ability to accelerate can result in major accidents/deaths.

P17F1 cvt judder code...there are recalls on V6 Nissan Altima from 2015, but it does not apply to the 4 cylinder models, yet the cars are having the same issues. Most likely the transmission will need replaced. Very costly for a 4 year old vehicle ($3500 from non-dealer, $4000 - $5000 dealer estimate). Dealer charges $140 just to diagnose the issue. The vehicle hesitates when accelerating to get on the highway. Transmission company I spoke with said this was the 4th Altima he had seen this week with the same issue....typically happens between 100,000 - 120,000 miles. My vehicle has 111,000 miles.
