Problems with 2012 Nissan Altima POWER TRAIN

I was driving down the highway and my transmission started making a loud whining noise and revved up to about 6400 rpm's and my car had no acceleration from that time on.. now i'm facing either paying $3400 for a new transmission or just trashing a perfectly well kept up car. i've always made sure to have my car completely serviced and maintained on time. after this i will never buy from nissan again. these cvt transmissions are horrible. nissan is looking after their profit instead of reliability. this is a 2012 altima with 125000 miles.

Nissan altima 2012 2.5s model at 115000 miles :without indication the vehicle suddenly could not shift properly when the vehicle started and rpm would go up till 4000-5000, also the vehicle could not run over 65mph: the speed was locked up while rpm kept going up till 3500-4000 i had a near miss from an severe freeway accident because of that problem and dare not drive on freeway after that. the transmission was failing and the mechanic said that the failure pattern was exactly the same as older models(03-10) of nissan altima, where the warranty is extended to 120000 miles for transmission. cost more than 3500 to repair and all the mechanics i met would call those transmission units junk and some of them had multiple nissan altima under repair with the exact same transmission problem.

The car has broke down and can not be drove. it has stalled on us numerous time driving on the freeway in nevada. we have almost been hit by semi truck. the transmission has to be replaced now and the car is not worth the money to fix. it has 123,000 on it.

Nissan altima 2012 s has a bug on the transmission. i have talked to a dealership lately about how i can maintain my transmission to avoid the problem he told me to change the fluid after 60k miles. which i did right away because i was the second owner. i'm supprise at 127k miles, my transmission broken down. and all mechanics i be been to tell me is a factory issue and nissan knows it. they said the cvt transmission mostly come to fail on that nissan after you pass the 100k miles. (factory issue with that cvt technology they said). i call nissan to submit the problem, but unfortunately they told they can't do nothing about it because of the high mileage. the bad transmission is very dangerous on the public road, i have been in the situation on the interstate highway where i couldn't pass the 18 wheeler and almost cause a crash because the transmission is not working properly.

Hello to whom it may concern, i'm posting this complaint because of an issue this vehicle has and i've heard many others are having the same issue. about an hour or two of driving the car or going up a pretty steep hill on a hot day the car looses power completely and will have trouble to go over 45mph and what i've read up on this issue the vehicle come with a sensor that makes the car go into a safety mode when the transmission gets too hot and it's due to the transmission not having a fluid cooler. i've had a couple close calls in the freeway where cars have came really close to rear ending me in the freeway with my children in the car and i fear for the safety of my as well as others and wouldn't want anyone getting sued due to an issue nissan has with their vehicle

While driving on the highway for over an hour at speeds 60+ mph the transmission will begin to whine, while at the same time the rpms will skyrocket. the car will rapidly decelerate while this is happening. this has happened multiple times on road trips when the car was at 20k miles and continues to happen more often now that the car is nearing 100k miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 nissan altima. the vehicle shifted to limp mode while driving the complainant was stranded on several occasions the cvt transmission cooling system inadequate to cool fluids causing the vehicle to go into safe driving/limp mode. the contact stated that while driving for 45 minutes to one hour,the vehicle shifted into limp mode. there was no warning indicators illuminated. the contact stated that the vehicle decelerated from 70 mph down to 20-30 mph. the contact stated that even with the accelerator pedal down to the floorboard, the vehicle failed to respond. the vehicle was taken to miller auto plaza located at 2900 2nd st s, st cloud, mn 56301, (320) 200-2472, to be diagnosed however, the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact stated that the failure recurred on a daily basis. the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure, case number: 36304669. the approximate failure mileage was 190,000.piir=y. ah

I have a automatic 2012 nissan altima w. 130k miles. while driving, my car automatically shifted to neutral and in order for me to stop, i had to place my emergency brakes on. the gear was stuck in between neutral and reverse and unable to move. thought it was a shifter console, but turns out it was my transmission. in this model car, there is a class action law suit against nissan for failing cvt transmissions/engines. my failure happened while driving and could have caused a major accident. due to the miles, i am out of warranty and i do believe that nissan should be at fault seeing that there is a suit pending.

After a few hours of driving, the vehicle lost power and went into "limp mode" on an 8 lane highway. after research, nissans have a known problem with the transmission that has yet to he addressed

Cvt trans giving check engine soon code p1777 stepper motor cod... trans not shifting properly, it gets stuck at 2000rpms and lags then jump up in rpms. trans shakes hard from time to time while driving at low speeds

18hoz-1diag c check & diagnos (tech 561) complaint: service engine soon light is on also c/s they were driving on freeway in traffic while rpms were around low 1,ooo vehicle would buck from slow speeds trying to accelerate also when vehicle was on a hill at a stop vehicle would not accelerate and started rolling backwards once vehicle gained momentum vehicle started moving please check and advise. cause: verified customers concern. "service engine soon" light is illuminated. checked for dtcs and found multiple dtcs (dtc written on ro). cleared dtcs and none returned after test drive. vehicle did feel a bit sluggish on first test drive. checked fluid levels and found oil level a bit low. also noticed drives floor mat tucked under gas pedal. removed floor mat and test drove again. vehicles acceleration feels normal. went to steep hill to duplicate customers concern. could not verify customers concern. again, correction: replaced both cam position sensors as well as the crank position sensor. cleared all dtcs and test drove vehicle no dtcs returned. vehicle drives fine with no issues.

I purchased the 2012 nissan in 2015 with only 22,000 and something miles. once the car got to about 76,000 something miles a whining noise started. so now with the car at only 83,074 miles the transmission isn't getting any power. so i turn to read reviews and talk to people only to find out the cvt's aren't worth anything and to get them replaced the price is ridiculous and i can't afford it. but you would think with all the complaints about it nissan would do something about it. i would not tell anyone to purchase a nissan ever. also when the whining would take place the car was being driven on city streets or major highways
