Altima

  • CVT transmission
  • 43,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I purchased a Nissan Altima 2015, brand new in Denver CO. I notice right away when starting the car that it will rev RPM Up to 2 or 3 RPM. I took it back to the dealer, requesting this to be checked. They check to say it's a brand new car and nothing seems to be wrong. After 1 1/2 year, the car battery fails and I needed to replace the battery. I did so!

At the 50k miles, I took it in for maintenance and I was told that my struts and shocks needed to be replaced in the rear. And the CVT transmission needs to be fixed. I mention to them the car has been jerking, taking off with high speeds, this would scare the living hell out everyone in the car and on the road. Unfortunately, I still own this car because I have a loan on this car. When driving the car will not accelerate then take off, all of sudden. I felt this car has some issues, either Nissan needs to salvage these models, or...

I will never buy another Nissan anything period!
