Nissan says my cvt transmission isnt covered by the extended warranty. my car has only 72,000 miles and is starting to show problems. i feel if it doesn't break now it will soon and feel they should honor the warranty that a law suit was filed. the rpms arent climbing when i accelerate and there is a noise when its between 30 and 40 miles an hr.
My car started with a bad jerking motion when driving it. then it started not wanting to pick up speed, but the rpm would go up. the first time it malfunctioned on me i was in the middle of traffic. i did not get injured because the cars behind me stopped in time.
Transmission fail at 115000 miles car wont accelerate
The transmission is slipping and making a whining noise and needs to be replaced. the car has under 110k miles on it and it should be included in the extended warranty that nissan has offered to the 2010 altimas. the problem was not fixed in 2011 and as a result, my car is unsafe to drive.
I bought a 2011 nissan altima and at 127,000 miles the transmission is slipping and when it warms up the car will not go over 50 mph. transmission will not shift. there should be a recall for these transmission from everything i'm finding out about them now. at this point with what this is costing i won't by another nissan when they don't believe there's an issue with these transmission.
Cat transmission failure at 129k miles. winding noise and slipping. car would not accelerate at any given time. this is a cvt transmission that nissan has an issue with and refuses to own up to it. not a safe vehicle to be driving in city or open highways. nissan want me to pay 3-4 grand to fix. can someone please wake these people up
Sudden loss of power after driving an hour and a half. transmission goes in to fail/safe mode and leaves me on the side of the road. dealer sold it to me with this safety issue.
Cvt transmission failed. doesn't go forward or reverse.
Our 2011 nissan altima just went over 80,000 miles and the transmission stopped working. my son was driving along some back roads at a low rate of speed and all of a sudden it gave out, the engine wil lrev but no power. had it towed to a transmission repair shop who does a lot of work on these cvt transmissions and he said it needed to be replaced. quoted me $3500 for a brand new nissan factory transmission and said he recommended getting the new one rather than trying to fix the old one because he has ton a lot of work on these transmissions. i do no understand why nissan stopped their extended warranty coverage on the cvt transmission at the 2010 model year.

Failing to accelerate, slipping, jerking, stalling
I have a 2011 nissan altima. car was "acting up" and so i took it to a firestone service center. they said it was the transmission and i should take it to a nissan dealer. so, i took it to the nissan dealer that i purchased the car from and they told me i needed a software update. which they did for $153. two weeks later while driving from ohio to tennessee, the transmission went out and i had it towed. the cost for repair will be $4800.00
When it is hot outside and the car has been driven for a long period of time the cvt transmission will make a whining noise. i noticed it when i was on the highway going about 70 mph. because of this strange noise, i exited. when i was going 30 mph+ and accelerating the whining continued to happen. i am not sure what would cause this, but it sounds like a belt inside the transmission is slipping. it now stutters at times when going about 10 mph. when "shifting" down from 20 mph it will jerk.
The transmission just went out at 100,000 miles. i'm told the transmission is a cvt transmission and this is pretty much normal. i'm looking at a $4000 cost just to put another cvt transmission into it
Merging into traffic after stopping at a stop sign the gas pedal became unresponsive. was able to pull to side and avoid collision and gas pedal began working after pumping and a few moments. had three kids in the car and only dumb luck prevented accident. brought to dealer the following day and it was a transmission issue
