My transmission is slipping at 80K miles. My vehicle has been well-maintained and I am aware of the class action lawsuit for transmissions that affects Nissan of my same year. My vehicle shakes, I experience hesitations and jerking while driving. Power loss but no stalling yet.

My car is a 2017 Nissan Altima with only 67,000 miles on it. Until 7/25/20, I had no issues or complaints. On 7/25/20 the gear started delaying so I immediately took it in to a local auto shop. I had to pay $130 for them to tell me I needed a brand new transmission on a 3 year old car with exceptional condition and maintenance. Nissan was aware of this issue because they extended the cvt transmission warranty on the 2015 Altima, but because mine was 7,000 miles out of the standard warranty and the 2017 vehicles weren't specifically included in the extension, I was being asked to pay $6000 for the replacement. They ultimately offered 60% of coverage because of the faulty transmissions but now I am dealing with the alignment not working and the car still jerking after paying an additional $1650. I am livid and upset that this is not only a known issue but that Nissan is not taking care of their customers. I have children I drive around and it's not safe to be doing so with a car that has defective parts.

The transmission on my 2017 Nissan Altima failed after 35,000 miles. The tranimssion was rebuilt a week ago and the rebuilt cvt transmission also failed before the car reached 36,000 miles. I do not trust Nissan transmissions and feel that this car will fail on me again stops acclerating which has happened to me twice already.

On 30 June, 2020, at approximately 4:15 pm, my 3 year old Nissan Altima stopped accelerating. I was on interstate 64 East bound going up the high rise bridge. About half way up I was no longer able to accelerate. My momentum allowed me to reach the top and coast down the other side. Due to being in the left lane and rush hour traffic this caused a safety issue for myself and other drivers. Although no one was hurt, the potential for it was high. After getting to the side of the road at the bottom of the bridge near mile marker 294, I turned the vehicle off then back on, no change. I was able to back up and rev the engine in neutral but no revving/RPM increase or non gravity forward motion while in drive. After getting towed to the dealer, I was told the next day that the problem was a bad throttle body. I researched it and the symptoms did not match a throttle body issue. I also research to see of others had this issue and it appears to be common with Nissan vehicles. My vehicle is still under warranty. Some others with vehicles under warranty were also told the same thing. Often when this same problem occurred with other vehicles after the warranty was up, and reoccurred after the warranty was off, they were told it was a transmission issue. Due to the nature of this issue and the potential for serious harm, I think this should be looked into. I was on a bridge and in a construction area. This could have caused a really bad accident, and hurt people. Nissan needs to be held accountable for equipment that they know is defective.

I was driving the vehicle when suddenly it lost power and would hardly move even with the gas pedal pushed all the way to the floor. I had the car towed to a mechanic where I was told that I needed a new transmission.

The transmission on my Altima was struggling to shift gears while on the highway. The car drove as though it was stuck between drive and neutral. After exiting the off-ramp my car would not accelerate and was adrift. Shifting from various gears and back to drive did nothing. I had to turn the car off and then back on and shift to drive as lower drive did not work. I was able to drive to a dealership but could feel the car's transmission dying along the way. The Altima was 2017 with only 35,000 miles. I purchased the car used with only 5,000 miles.

Car will stop accelerating out of nowhere. Car will spike the rpms but car doesn't accelerate while driving I was almost T-boned when my car delayed for 4 seconds before it accelerated. Nissan is claiming it's the transmission and it's not faulty. This has been a nightmare. If they do not fix Nissan will me losing my business.

- Newnan, GA, USA

The solenoid in the transmission responsible for shifting went bad at 67,000 miles and the valve body had to be replaced in the transmission. I was driving and when it was needing to maintain the speed without gas or brake applied it would jump between gears without reason and felt like a shudder as I was driving it.

- Flippin, AR, USA

Transmission has gone out at 76000 miles on the freeway. Couldn't get my speed over 45 mph. Thought I was gonna die! Nissan refuses to help me. They want 4000 dollars to replace the crap cvt tyranny.

The car has a delay when accelerating, when starting from a stop. You have to be careful not to push too far on the accelerator since the car will eventually accelerate. The tachometer will also go up to 5000 RPM when going between 55 and 60mph. It will not shift down at high way speed. The only way to correct either issue is to turn the car off and on. Both issues are intermittent but if one occurs the other does also. This only happens after come to a stop a free driving for a period of time. The vehicle is just under three years old with 54,000 miles. Recently I had the dealer look at it and I had to have the transmission fluid changed/inspected, codes/computer checked and the program updated for a grand total of $330. Time will tell if fixed the issue. I had to pay for this even though I am under the 60000 powertrain warrant and the 60000 mile recommended transmission fluid change.

It was clear for me to pull out on to the highway from a complete stop. As I was almost in my lane of traffic my car started jerking, slipping, and was unable to drive safely.

After driving home from a trip to the lake our car started having difficulty accelerating from stop lights in drive.. it would seem to stall out and not accelerate. Luckily it worked enough to get us the last mile home. Today (the next day) my husband went to go run errands and after putting the 2017 Nissan Altima into gear the car will not move. The car is parked in out driveway. There is a whining sounds that comes out of the engine while idling. When the car is put into gear the whining gets louder and the rpms will jump up but the car will not move at all. No matter what gear the vehicle is put in.

I was on the highway back in February and my car stopped at a certain speed and when I tried to go faster the car wouldn't pick up speed. No check engine light was on.I took it to a mechanic and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. There have been several occasions where I've stopped at a stop light and when time to go the car seem to stall for a minute before moving. Just a few days ago my check engine light came on and I took it back to the mechanic to be told the code that came up was P0776 and I would have to replace my transmission. The mechanic called Nissan and was told they my model and year car does not have the extended warranty and they will not cover it. I haven't even had this car for 3 years yet. I'm concerned for my safety in this vehicle. I have 3 kids which one is a newborn that I Transport in this vehicle. Nissan needs to be held accountable for this.

This is the 2nd Nissan Altima with transmission/power train issues. The first I immediately returned thinking that perhaps it was an isolated incident. My car does not want to engage on take off. The rpms go up really high and the car barely takes off. This occurs during all weather conditions on all terrains.

My transmisson started shuddering then just quit pulling in the middle of the interstate which bout got me ran over, this was like the third time, there is countless cases of the same exact thing happening with the same car from 2014 to 2018 models due to cvt transmissons, someone needs to do sum homework and see this is gonna get somebody hurt. Nissan doesnt want to admit the issues and cover the issues.

- Kenna, WV, USA

When trying to accelerate, the car will hesitate to gain power from a stop position. Sometimes the rpms will ramp up without me pressing hard on the gas peddle. I have taken it to advance auto and the code that comes up is P0776 pressure control solenoid. The dealership says that the warranty is expired but I've only had this car for 7 months. And I'm sure others are having this issues if not now very soon. Customer will very much soon be very pissed off after 7 months of having their vehicle or when the transmission hits 60K. At this point I don't know what to do and this has been a nightmare and I feel like it was a mistake getting this car.

When driving the vehicle will make a vibration noise, loses power. Absolutely no throttle response. Almost like getting no fuel, but you can hear the engine revving and vehicle will not move. Then all of the sudden it will start to move slowly. Then it will go. This process will repeat over and over. Until stop and turn the car off. When you come back it acts fine. Then starts over once driven a while. This happen when city driving or highway. I finally got a light to come on after several months of driving this way. Check engine code P0776 pressure control solenoid. That's in the transmission. Dealer says its not covered even though there have been complaints and recalls on other Nissan models with cvt transmissions.

As I was driving I noticed as I was giving my car gas. It was acting as if it didn't want to pull. It was idling very high and wouldn't go over 30mph. I began to panic because this is a new car. I'm like is it the transmission. I pulled over cut the car off and started it back up. The car began to drive back normal. It has done this many times before even while I had uber riders acting as if it doesn't want to pull. It's was in motion each time it happened even on the interstate in busy traffic.

- Nashville, TN, USA

Issues with cvt on my 17 Altima. Currently at the shop for the second time. At complete stop the car does not want to accelerate, I push the petal to the floor and the rpms race while the car basically crawls. I have to turn the car off and on again to get it to run normal. Happens a lot.
