Takata recall, i have a 2012 nissan altima and i purchased from a dealer in jan 2015. i believe this car must be a defective product. it's a pre-owned car. just after driving it for 1.5yrs, i have been driving the car the transmission broken. the speed drops to 30miles/hr from 65miles/hr while i was driving on the freeway. there were cars behind me. it's so dangerous. i was lucky that the driver behind me reacted very quickly and didn't hit me. it was under the warranty so they replaced the torque converter of the transmission. however, just this past weekend i was driving uphill on a mountain road and a similar problem happened again. my car can't shift correctly and the speed drops to 25 miles/hr from 40miels/hr. both the first time and the second time when this happens there is no signal lights on my dashboard. i went to the dealer but they said i'm out of the warranty and they may not cover the repair. i failed a claim to nissan customer service and still waiting for the response to solve this issue. they said there are no recalls of ...
As i was starting to slow down in preparation of taking a turn off the frontage road my car completely shut off, my brakes and steering locked and luckily i was able to complete my turn into a gas station where i immediately put it in park and restarted via push start., 2 days later this occurred again on a fairly busy street where i repeated the steps to start it again. i am extremely scared to have this happen again on a heavily traveled street causing me to be involved in a collision , i have researched online and see other reports/complaints of the same issue i described yet do not see any recall issued regrading this extremely dangerous defect.
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
Oil cooler leak was detected during routine oil change. research showed this model & year has a recall already issued but there are no campaigns for this specific vin not sure if this is something you deal with or if it's a mfg issue. not sure what steps are to report to mfg if this is a known issue.
I bought my car only a few months ago and recently taking it to the bench at their service, the technicians notified me that i had a leak and the gascket engine oil cooler need to be replaced after that i've been searching the internet about the problem and i found it s a very common fault in this model, many owners report this problem and everyone wonders why there is no recall yet
My vehicle when driving will not throttle correctly so i have to pull over on the road and turn the car off and than turn it back on. after turning the car back on i would rub the engine to make sure it would throttle pass 3. lately though my car has been turning off while driving which is a big safety for my self and other drivers. because i have to turn the car of and on quickly especially if im on the freeway.
The vehicles engine is burning oil very rapidly and when i spoke with several mechanics to get a other opinions, and i was told it is a common problem with this vehicle. the dashboard is also very sticky and is melting was told that that happens to the vehicles as well.

Losses power when driving when making turns it shakes it over heats
When driving the car for a long distance (30 miles) there is a whining sound that starts and the car will not accelerate. if the car is allowed to sit and cool down the whining will stop but start back as the engine/transmission heats up. during this period the car will loose power and not exceed 40 miles per hour. this happens when driving throughout the city and on the highway
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 nissan altima. while driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle went into safe mode and lost power. there was no warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the vehicle lacked the fan to cool the transmission, causing the transmission to overheat. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the failure was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Cvt, the car jerks, shudders, stalls while driving. this is very dangerous! engine revs on its own, read about the horrible nissan cvt will never purchase a nissan nor recommend to anyone! turning is a nightmare, driving on the highway is quite scary. called customer service nissan does not care! class action suit should be filed asap this is people lives you're talking about !
Complete loss of power climbing a steep grade uphill, almost caused accident sandwiched between two 18 wheelers also going uphill one of which had to swerve sharply to avoid hitting us. cvt transmission likely went into fail-safe mode, same thing repeated multiple times on steep winding climbs on mountain highways. very dangerous situation with engine cutting out and loss of power. nissan has issued cvt recalls and extended warranty on models up to 2010 but the problem is still there in this 2012 altima and in many other complaints about the cvt on later models. nhtsa should get nissan to extend its recall/warranty to models after 2010 judging by the many complaints being reported about the same loss of power issue with the cvt.
Cvt transmission has went out. i was diving on the highway and all of a sudden my car slowed down and wouldn't go past 20 mph. nissan stated that transmission is gone and a new one is needed. $4000. same thing happened to my previous car. 2010 nissan altima
