Problems with 2009 Nissan Altima POWER TRAIN

On more then one occasion when driving on the freeway for about 45 min. the acceleration speed drops to about 40 mph. and when going on hills its even worse. this has been going on for some time now, but now i have a second altima that is having very similar issues. after sitting on the side of the freeway for a hour, the car returns to normal. this can not be a normal problem, i have searched and found that a number of people have had very similar issues and in fact i received a letter stating that 2014-2018 nissans where having acceleration issues. ( i have attached the letter) i have 2 cars now that have the same issue and i can not afford to fix them, especially if i am not 100% sure what the correction is. i have also attached copies of others that have the same issues, and you will see that some have tried to fix but get different responses on the fix. please help!! thanks

When on the road and goin up a small hill the transmission looses power don't want to go, loose lots of power

The car losses acceleration while in the highway. it appears to happen when it's hot and there's no warning and thus could be fatal.

My altima has 257k miles. i was driving home from a friend's house and the car just died on my street. the engine made a whining sound and would not go over 5 mph. luckily i was able to coast the car down the hill to my house. the car has been well maintained and i am replacing the cvt transmission for the second time. the last time i replaced it was 3 years ago in 2016. most of my mileage is hwy miles. i have read numerous complaints online regarding the crappy cvt transmission in the altima. the dealer is putting in my 3rd transmission today and only guaranteeing a 1 year / 12000 mile warranty. this does not sound like they are backing their product. from all that i have read and experienced, the car is a total safety issue losing speed in warm weather on long trips that could result in serious accidents. could there be a recall coming?

Driving the highway 75 miles hour and have the accelerator not response. was told cvt transmission overheating going into safe mood causing vehicle to slow and accelerator not responding. barely pulling off the highway and waiting to have control again. was told that a radiator for the transmission was needed. scared to drive.

I am experiencing two severe safety issues with my 2009 nissan altima coupe. 1. when i am driving on the highway, after about an hour, my transmission will not allow the car to go the speed limit or accelerate. no matter how hard i press on the gas pedal, the car will not shift, loses power and gets progressively worse the farther i drive. i had to pull off the highway for fear that someone would hit me because no matter how hard i tried to accelerate, the car would only go about 40 mph. 2. the dashboard is literally melting causing a blinding glare when the sun (during the day) or other headlights (during the night or rain) hit it...it creates a blinding glare making it impossible to see. both of these issues, the transmission and dash make driving extremely hazardous.

Email to jack danielson from constituent regarding their grandson 2009 nissan altima 2.5s transmission problems. *ld the consumer stated while being driven, the vehicle went into fail safe mode. the consumer was informed the vehicle was built without a transmission cooler and a service bulletin was issued to put one in the vehicle. the dealership would not honor the service bulletin. *js *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 nissan altima. while the contact's son was driving at an unknown speed, the engine stalled. the vehicle was taken to jeffery nissan (30800 gratiot ave, roseville, mi 48066, 586-510-1378) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 131,000.

Nothing but problems with this car since i purchased it. had to replace all tire sensors, speed sensors, coils, front passenger tire rod, the ctv transmission, and the trunk leaks into the trunk and the tail light's. i have repaired all these things out of my own pocket.i have been stranded several times, i have almost been hit, and have had the car towed. the dash has become sticky and everything sticks to it. it produces a glare on the wondow which makes it hard to see.the engine experiences loss of power and no mechanic can pinpoint the problem. i do not drive it much since i have purchased it. this car should be a lemon or recalled. the problems keep coming.

Vehicle was in motion going 55mph on highway. suddenly started to lose power and car began to decelerate no matter how much gas i gave it. i had my 3 kids and wife in the car. we're lucky i was able to somehow coast off to the side of the road and wait for a tow. this happened more than once on local roads.

I have a nissan altima just bought 2016. when driving 20 min or more when you come to a stop about 3 seconds after. you feel a shift or jolt, in the engine the harmonic balancer or timing chain. i was driving 70 down i45 busy traffic, as audial and all a sudden my car starts loosing power and i was almost hit in the rear by a mac truck. when i was safely at a stop, i killed it and it cranked back up with half the power. 1500 rpms

Takata recall transmissions on the nissan altima. driving home from work and my car stalls, put my foot all the way down on the pedal and nothing, extreme safety hazard, could of easily been hit by someone going full speed from behind. i was at a red light waiting for it to turn green and when i was getting ready to go nothing was happening. had to be towed home. found out that nissan altimas have this very common problem with the transmission and takata won't take responsibility and issue a recall. guess they don't care if they leave someone's kids potentially orphaned 🤷🏻‍♀️

When it's really hot outside and i drive for more than 3 hours my car starts to lose power. when holding the gas pedal down to the floor much car will not accelerate. i have to stop and let the car sit for 20 to 30 minutes before i can drive. the temperature gauge doesn't ever say that the car is hot though. this has happened multiple times now. each time on a hot day after driving approximately

I purchased my car in 2012 shortly after purchasing the car i noticed something didn't feel quite right i called the nissan service dept and explained the issue they assured me everything was okay but then in 2016 i complained to nissan about the whining noise again and when traveling on the interstate how my car would just slow down with no warning causing the tractor trailer traveling behind me to think quickly and jump into another lane or else i probably would not be alive to be writing you. the next incident was after i exited off of the interstate and stopped at the stop sign once i begin to accelerate my car stalled in the middle of the street causing a car coming around the curve to quickly exit onto the interstate to keep from hitting me. when i explained all of this to nissan they already knew about this issue and i said why wasn't this something you send out to consumers because if you already know then this isn't the first incident. at the time i reported this i had 119,876 miles on my car the rep proceeded to tell me i was past the extended ...

Transmission failed. took to dealership for repair. they took a transmission fliuid sample and sent to nissan for testing. nissan denied warranty claiming the fluid was contaminated. they want $5400 for repair. what are my options?
