Problems with 2013 Nissan Altima POWER TRAIN

My story exactly like all the rest. from the day i picked up the vehicle the vehicle sometime acted strange. then of course sitting at stop light after 80k miles...car goes into drive but then dies. tow the vehicle in myself to shop who diagnosed as "need new transmission". 5 thousand dollars... what a piece of crap!

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. while driving 5 mph or while in a lower gear, the vehicle shook and failed to accelerate. the contact stated that it felt like the vehicle was about to stall. the vehicle also made a revving noise while driving at low speeds. the failure recurred multiple times. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the approximate failure mileage was 39,000.

Car stalled in traffic, at lights, hesitates and shudders. safety issue is the stalling in traffic. symptoms began approximately two (2) weeks ago, have kept log of dates, symptoms, time, and traffic conditions. ,

Gear shift will not come out of park. multiple tries sometimes makes the solenoid release, but dealer says the mechanism needs to be replaced $700. many complaints on the web, but no recall.

My gear shift is stuck in park

First, my car would hesitate to change gears when started. while at a complete stop my car started with a jerk and the rpm needle would flutter. next, i would attempt to accelerate from a complete stop and the car would hesitate to move. i'd press the gas and go nowhere with the rpm needle at its max then suddenly take off until one day i started the car and it would not move. i had the car towed to my local nissan dealership and was advised it was valve and cvt related. long story short, i repaired what they said i needed to repair, $1400 and 2 days after i picked the car up, the same issue occurred, jerking at complete stops and the engine light came on 4 days later. nissan consumer affairs would not help me even though they've honored certain vin numbers for the same problem. so my car is currently in the shop, again, 5 days after i paid $1400 for a 4 year old car that had been diagnosed me sent home with a clean bill of health.

My transmission jut started acting up. i check for recall and there is a service campaign call. took my car to the dealership on for them to tell me that i needed a new transmission my car on has 86,000 miles and i haven't had any trouble before. i see that there are many people complaining about this transmission problem and i think nissan should cover to replace mine.

I purchased a used 2013 nissan altima s 2.5l in may 2016 and in jan 2017 the transmission died. i contacted nissan and my dealership for assistance, and no one could assist me with anything (paying for repairs, a different car, etc). my car barely accelerated across a busy intersection and i could have gotten killed. i had to continue paying my car note while getting rental cars/riding uber and lyft/ getting rides, calling out from work some days, while i waited for any response from nissan, only to finally receive a non-chalant, "nissan cannot offer you any assistance at this time". i contacted numerous mechanics for transmission prices and all of them told me that other people with the same car/year had called with transmission issues as well. i can see online that many people have the same issue with this specific year of altima and nissan is doing nothing about it and not being held accountable. now, almost a year later after i got the transmission replaced, my engine is stalling, i am having the intermittent acceleration issue once again, and i would hate to fork out $4000 on yet another transmission -or be without a car- or have to get a different car (with a compounded loan or a lower value car). i am extremely frustrated by the situation and lucky to be alive after having this car. i should not have to suffer this with a car that is not even 3 years old. it is unsafe for these vehicles to be on the road if they can stop working at any time while driving during a commute and nissan won't address the issue or acknowledge that they have designed a faulty transmission in their 2013 altimas.

Since owning the altima. the transmission "shutters and vibrates the car from a stopped position. if the car is parked and you start it put it in reverse or drive it will shake violently and shut off. it will not cause the check engine light to come on. the dealership has hooked it up to computer to fix and replaced a valve twice. nissan refuses to replace transmission because no fault code is showing when taken to service department. taken to dealership more than 6 times for this since owning it. it has shut off on them but nissan still refuses to replace transmission.

Car intermittantly stalls after stopping at stop sign or traffic light.

When i get into my car it starts but it will not come out of park. initially i had to turn my car off turn it back on three or four times and sometimes it still won't work. this is unsafe as you can be stranded in cold or unsafe medical conditions. dealer instructed if gear locks up in park and will not move you press the shift over ride with a key. this is not obvious and the only car i have had this issue. now this happens 100% of the time. only 38000 miles on the car. vehicle is stationary when this happens.

I have a nissan altima s 2013 and i financed it zero meter in sept 2013 . yesternight my car died/shutdown while trying to accelerate, after stopping at the stop light. i had no clue what happened at my car. i was in full stop at the moment and was trying to make a left turn. there was no warning and i just had a cold car all of a sudden. i could not move my car, the car shuts all electrical power. i tried to restart my car, and it did, but when put it in drive and tried to accelerate the car would power down again. i turned my hazard lights on and call the tow company as i was not far from my home. unfortunately my car has 66k miles while its only 3yrs and 5 months old. my warranty expired after driving my car for more than 60k (only 6k miles over). i suppose the main issue is that, there is no warning sign. this could have happened and put me in danger and other drivers around me. i lost my confidence on my car because the electrical system powered off and it can stopped anywhere. this is a ongoing problem with nissan cvt transmission. they must need to recall all the nissan altima which have cvt transmission and correct the problem, and for me i need a reliable car not this piece of junk, (american car runs more efficiently than nissan, a japanese piece of junk) "no more nissan for me". i took my car to the crest nissan frisco, tx. lets see what they say??? *tr

In january of 2017 my car has started having transmission problems. the transmission would jerk and as higher speeds were being pursued it had difficulty reaching it. my car even completely died. i took to a local shop who told me what it was. i decided to look online and see if i was the only one with the problem. to my surprise there had been a recall on my transmission that was effective december 08, 2016. i was not at this point in time given a recall notice of any sort. actually i never received the notice until march 13. i immediately called my dealership to bring in. as i was bringing it in it wouldn't reach speeds over 25 mph. the recall states that continuing to drive this vehicle without the recall performed can lead to accelerated wear on the cvt transmission. the dealer told me that the car had been delivered in the time frame necessary, but that my transmission was now dead and would cost me $4000!!!! note: still paying payments on this car. so, anyways i"ve been sent through phone lines and hung up on to no end. i went back to dealership and asked them for a diagnosis on my transmission. i wanted to know how it completely died. they said they didn't diagnose transmissions there. so i then said well you told me this recall did not cause my transmission damage. i said so you actually don't know if this is in fact the problem. the guy agreed with me! they then broke down and let me have their bosses number who apparently never gives this number out. i had talked to her previousuly and she was no help for me. not even sympathetic nor offering me a reason. i also asked the dealership to repair the recall. they refused. i am at a loss. its been three months without my car. i still pay on it! i am devastated and don't know who can help me!

Gear shift is stuck in park. using a pencil to push the shift release button is the only way to shift it into gear. local mechanic noted that this is a common issue with nissan altimas.

To whom this may concern, i own a 2013 nissan altima 4 cylinder with roughly 81000 miles on it. about 2 weeks ago i was driving and the car kept stalling out when i would come to a stop light, but i was able to restart and move on. however, in the middle of the high way it completely shut off on me and didn't restart. thankfully the truck behind me had enough room to swerve to avoid hitting me. me and my car would have been totaled. i received no warning lights before this issue, it happened out of no where. i received a diagnosis of "bad transmission" and was given an estimate of $4200+ tax. i was told that since my extended warranty ran out that i would be responsible for the payment in total. i did my research on this problem and it seems that many people are having the same issue as i am. i am beyond disappointed in nissan and their inability to warn customers about such a dangerous malfunction in their cars. this is incredibly unsafe and needs some type of investigation or recall done on the transmission. god forbid anyone has this issue and it costs their life. sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

My car has 97,500 miles on it equipped with a cvt transmission. nissan in the past has had issues with these transmissions and extended transmission warranty to 120k miles in 08-2010 models. after doing research car.com found 2013-14 altimas and rogues have had same issue. 2 days prior before getting my car to dealer to have transmission checked out, i first noticed my rpms revving up and down while on cruise control. following workday i was at a stop light. light turned green and cars approaching fast behind me took my vehicle 2,000 rpms to move from stop light almost getting rearended, i was only 1,100 miles over my paid extended warranty communicated with nissan about the issues with the cvt transmission. long story short they wont back up this faulty transmission and now i have to pay $3,200.00 for my transmission to be fixed http://www.carcomplaints.com/nissan/altima/2013/transmission/ https://www.cars.com/articles/2013-2016-nissan-altima-rogue-transmission-issue-1420683183828/ http://www.nissanassist.com/programdetails.php?menu=2 the above research show they have issues and at some point someone can be injured or killed or like me having to fork over excessive cash for a transmission replacement nissan needs to step up and warranty their defective transmissions. *tr

When first starting the car the rpms start jumping. wen u go to put it in gear it cluncks. and when i go to accelerate it wont go faster than 40. (gas pedal to the floor)

Takata recall my 2013 altima transmission went out when i was on my way home the car stalled and then broke down twice on me after we got it home my husband tested it and it said it was the cvt transmission we had it towed in to nissan and found out we had 3 recalls on this car and one of them was the cvt and a few days later nissan said it was transmission and it will cost $5000 to fix it. corporations refused to keep there promises on there product and said they will not pay for it. however it was under there recall.

Car stalls to accelerate when pressing the gas pedal. last night the car was making noticeable noise and jerked as i was driving . this morning the car was stalling as i pressed the acceleration on multiple occasions. *tr

I just exited highway 580 turning left on highway 84 stoplight when my car died/shutdown while trying to accelerate. i had no clue what happened at my car. i was in full stop at the moment and was trying to make a left turn. there was no warning and i just had a cold car all of a sudden. i could not move my car, the car shuts all electrical power. i tried to restart my car, and it did, but when put it in drive and tried to accelerate the car would power down again. this happened for at least four times. i turned my hazard lights on fearing that the cars exiting the freeway would hit me considering we had the green. i did not want to get out of my car because i was in the middle lane and feared that the on coming drivers will not see me. this happened around 5:10pm and we have a light shower. i finally got my car to move when i restarted my car and put the gear on sports mode or d2 instead of drive. the car moved without hesitation and while i was hoping to see any issue or warning on the dashboard i found nothing. as if there no issue and could not replicate the issue. i contacted nissan dealer to make and appointment, and got me a slotted the next day. the final diagnosis is that my car needs a new transmission. unfortunately my car has 79k miles while its only 4yrs old. they told me that my car is deemed unsafe to drive and that the whole ordeal will cost me $3500. my warranty expired after driving my car for more than 60k. the main issue i suppose the main issue is that, there is no warning or tell tell sign. this could have happened and put me in danger and other drivers around me. i lost total control of my car because the electrical system powered off.

Stopped on the driveway waiting for the garage door to open and the car died. the car starts and idles, but it dies when putting in gear. gas is 3/4 full, all lights work and are not dim.

Car would shut off when stopped at times even on a busy highway. later became jerky and bumping with acceleration. these issues were caused by the cvt transmission at about 64500 miles on the car.

My car has 46000 miles in it. several times now while i am driving mostly when slowing down or starting again after being stopped the car shakes really bad and then dies. it is while driving. this is very dangerous and if it occurs while on the highway could be disasterous. there are many complaints about this. see the link here to other owners hacing the same problem. http://m.carcomplaints.com/nissan/altima/2013/engine/engine.shtml

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. while the engine was idling, the vehicle suddenly stalled. while driving various speeds, the vehicle jerked. the vehicle was taken to quirk nissan(600 southern artery, quincy, ma) where it was diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. the transmission was replaced, but the failure recurred approximately 18 months and 6,000 miles later. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer who stated that the replacement transmission was faulty. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. the failure mileage was 48,000.

Cvt transmission failure at 76,000 miles. within in 2 days the car went from a slight shudder to complete failure. according to my research and viewin thousands of other complaints, 2013 nissan altima should have a transmission recall. had it failed on the freeway with my children in the car, i would be filing a lawsuit. car is currently at a dealership and will remain there until i can afford $3500-$4000 for repairs. i have filed a complaint with nissan consumer affairs.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. when approaching a stop or when shifting gears into drive, the vehicle had a strong hesitation and stalled several times without warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the transmission failed and needed to be diagnosed by a transmission specialist. the dealer reprogrammed the transmission, but the failure continued. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was not available.

Shift assembly - transmission: my car is a 2013 nissan altima and it will not go out of park at times there is a default with the shift gear assembly that need to be recalled or investigated. i have had this car for only a year. i have also hear rumors about these type of cars having transmission issues. the cost for the repairs to fix this car is $600.00 and this should be on the manufacture end and not the consumer. i actually believed nissan and honest company when it came to vehicle safety but the tech advised me that if it is not under recall then there is nothing that they can do. so ok that means unless someone is not injured or killed this is your problem even though we know these cars have this problem. i would like for anyone who is having these issues to please report it because i am trading this piece of junk in as soon as possible.

My car was going about 75mph then it started stalling and losing speed. when i stopped and parked i put the car back in drive and the car wouldn't move. i had to push the gas pedal all the way to the floor. then the car jumped into gear. but it stalls. they said it's a failed transmission.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. while driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled. in addition, the vehicle failed to shift out of the drive gear. the contact, who had an infant present, had to engage the emergency hazard lights and received help pushing the vehicle to the side of the road. the contact placed a screwdriver in the gear shifter to help change gears, and was able to restart the vehicle on the third attempt. the vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic who determined that the shifter cylinder was fractured and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not under warranty. the failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

2013 nissan altima 2.5l sv 76,000 miles cvt failure my vehicle has experienced cvt failure with only 76k miles.. unfortunately for the initial occurrence, i misdiagnosed the problem as bad gas. the vehicle shutters, bucks and stalls when decelerating or accelerating at traffic lights, stop signs or in highway traffic. additional stalls occur when placing the vehicle into gear (drive or reserve) which may cause vehicle stranded in the middle of parking lots and roadway. the problem seemed to go into remission for the past year, even though looking back i can see some slight signs of bucking when coming to a stop, rough idles, louder whining at higher speeds, ect. i was able to have nissan tech confirm cvt failure and that it is not a rare issue. a quick google search verifies that many others have experienced the same issues with the cvts and nissan had provided a recall and extended warranty on all their cvt's manufactured before 2011. this issue does not seem to have been resolved on newer models and is a road hazard especially in intersections of major roadways and in heavy traffic on major highways. please advise.

One of the main problems is failure to start or stop. the other is the noisy transmission. not a very dependable car. now i heard a recall because of hood latches. as for engine problem could be very dangerous if you were on an interstate and the engine suddenly dies. transmission very noisy all the time.

I own a 2013 nissan altima which i purchased new. the car has approximately 90k miles on it now. about 5 months ago the car beginning dying when putting it in gear and/or stopping while driving. the occurrence of the problem gradually increased until we were forced to take it to a nissan dealer. the dealer diagnosed the car as needing a transmission reprogram. i paid the dealer to perform the work. two weeks later when putting the car into drive or reverse the car would not move. we had the car towed to the dealer, whom took over a week to diagnose informing us it needed a new cvt. the dealer informed me that the new cvt had been upgraded with heavier duty parts including a heavier transmission cooler as these units were prone to overheating, which indicates (in my opinion) a design flaw. the dealer now wants $3.7k to replace the cvt with a new unit that only has a 1 year or 12k warranty.

I recently purchased a nissan altima s from clay cooley march 2015 so i only had the car a year and some months and now the transmission is gone out i get my car serviced as i should and now this and no one wants to help clay cooley day i'm out of warranty due to miles over 24000 on the car and i'm stuck out to still fork out a 518 car payment it's not right i need help. i was leaving work my my car started vibration and started to decelerate and jerking like it was about to go dead i thought i had got some bad gas so i pulled over my car started jerking harder and cut off so i turned it back on and i shift it in reverse and it went dead so i cut it back on again and shift it in drive it cut off so i dit there for over an hour then i star it again and shifted it in drive and it didn't go dead i was able to drive home so the next day i went out to see if it would do it again and it didn't while driving my rpms went up high and my car made whining noise and started vibrations again and this time my check engine light came on so i was coming up to a light so i stopped but when i tried to drive it wouldn't move so i put the blinkers on and some guy came behind and pushed me over to the side and i say there for about hour and i started up and it moved so i went straight home and called around and explained what had happened so the man from amco told me to come down so i called for a tow and got towed there and he tested it and said that my transmission is bad and it's a cvt transmission do it cant be rebuilt it has to be replaced for as much as 4000 dollars

When i get into drive my car it starts but it will not come out of park. i have to turn my car off turn it back on three or four times and sometimes it still won't work on able to use my vehicle. and when i am able to use it sometimes i get stranded at the store because it won't come out of park.

I have a 2013 nissan, altima with 60,000 miles and my transmission has gone out. i had a 2010 altima and the transmission went out on i it as well. i purchased both vehicles from nalley nissan. when i purchased the 2013 altima the salesman told us that they have made some improvements to the transmission, but that is a lie. i

2013 nissan altima 2.5l sv 72,000 miles cvt failure my vehicle has experienced cvt failure with only 72k miles. this is the second time this issue has occurred, with the first instance happening a little over one year ago. unfortunately for the initial occurrence, i misdiagnosed the problem as bad gas. the vehicle shutters, bucks and stalls when decelerating or accelerating at traffic lights, stop signs or in highway traffic. additional stalls occur when placing the vehicle into gear (drive or reserve) which may cause vehicle stranded in the middle of parking lots and roadway. the problem seemed to go into remission for the past year, even though looking back i can see some slight signs of bucking when coming to a stop, rough idles, louder whining at higher speeds, ect. this second occurrence i was able to have the issue diagnosed by nissan technicians at causeway nissan in manahawkin, nj and they have confirmed that this is indeed a cvt failure and that it is not a rare issue. a quick google search verifies that many others have experienced the same issues with the cvts and nissan had provided a recall and extended warranty on all their cvt's manufactured before 2011. this issue does not seem to have been resolved on newer models and is a road hazard especially in intersections of major roadways and in heavy traffic on major highways. please advise.

I have a 2013 nissan altima that i purchased one year ago. when i purchased the vehicle it only had 25,000 miles on it and was still under warranty. about one month ago my car just died in the middle of the highway while i was driving it and i had to merge off of the highway before i was hit by other vehicles. the car would start right up after i turned it off, but not matter how hard i pressed on the gas peddle it would just sit there. i had the car towed to the local nissan dealership and i was told that my cvt transmission had failed. i only have 75,000 miles on the car, but of course, the warranty was up at 60,000 miles. the service center at nissan suggested that i call corporate nissan and see if there was anything that they can do to help. i called nissan and after weeks of playing phone tag with the representative handling my case, i was told that there wasn't anything that they would do to help me. i proceeded to ask her if she was aware that there is a class action law suit again nissan regarding their faulty cvt transmissions and she said "yes" and that they would rather me sue them than just replace their faulty transmission. needless to say, i am extremely disappointed with nissan and will never buy another one of their vehicles again. the total cost to replace my transmission was $5,000.00, plus a month and a half of rental car charges.

Takata recall i went to put car in reverse and car just shut off. started right back up but shut off again when put into drive. eventually i got car to go without shutting off but felt car jerking on and off and almost shutting off when i came to complete stop. would have to quickly push on gas to keep car from turning off. continues to jerk while driving but not continuously.

Torque converter shot, needs transmission replaced

The car has 44,500 miles and was growling, shuttering and vibrating when driving. especially at acceleration and stopping. finally i was stopped at a red light when the car jerked harshly and shut off. it would start right back up, but then die when put into (d) drive. the road was a very dangerous highway and i was alone so could not push car to the side. finally after about 20 start and 15 minutes, i managed to engage into drive. i drove it to the nissan dealer directly while it was bucking, jerking and would not accelerate. i blew threw 2 red lights because it would not downshift to stop. the dealer had the car approximately 6.5 hours when they called to tell me that no lights were on and they could not find a problem. if i wanted to pay $120 diagnostic fee, they could go ahead with some work. i asked to speak to manager, however had left for the day. about 20 minutes later, they called again stating that he spoke to the manager and it is most likely an abs system problem, but i would still have to pay the $120 diagnosic fee.

En noviembre del 2014 compre un nissan altima 2013 con apenas 31000 millas, a las 54000 millas tuve que cambiar el alternador,y ahora siento que tengo problemas con la transmision, es un carro relativamente nuevo,no deberia dar tantos problemas, espero me ayuden a resolver el problema!! gracias!!

I drive a 2013 nissan altima and i am outside of my power train warranty 77,800 .my car stopped on my way to work and i had to restart it several times, a diagnostic test was performed and was told it is my cvt torque converter (transmission).was bad, the auto shop printed a recall that was done for nissan customer, contacted the service department no knowledge of the recall, they stated not under warranty. contacted nissan consumer affairs had a case review done and received a call back, i explained to them i researched information, there are so many cvt transmission issues with their cars, rep stated there was nothing they could help me with. contact legal advice and was given this website and other information there is an ongoing investigation concerning this issue .something has to be done a.s.a.p. with this faulty transmission, i am very disappointed to know this has been an issue for a while recalls were done from 2003-2010 and the problem was fixed .please make a decision soon to fix this issue, it is a hazard, car starting and stopping at red lights, etc. thank you *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. after starting the vehicle, the gear lever was shifted into the drive position and the engine unexpectedly became inoperable. the vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the contact's residence. an independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle, but there were no trouble codes detected. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 67,000.

On 7/1/16, while at a stop sign, my car shut off. i was able to restart the car, without hesitation. i drove 2 miles & the car started jerking. once i let off the gas, while still driving down the road, my vehicle shut off again. i pulled over (luckily), restarted the car, once put into gear, it started jerking & shut off. my car is now at the dealer & i've been advised that i need a transmission. now, back to the very beginning....12/30/2013, i was searching for a car, as i had totaled my ever-so-faithful toyota camry. i went to nissan to look at a used altima. i got better financing on a brand new model, for which i'm writing this complaint about. i negotiated, come to a deal, and that was that. i did not purchase an extended warranty because i was buying a nissan, a brand new nissan. anyway, very soon after, i noticed a vibration while my car was in idle, and more so while accelerating. i mentioned my concern numerous times to the service dept at nissan, was told everything was normal. eventually i got another opinion from another nissan dealer, they shimmed my exhaust & replaced my alternator bracket, without resolving my problem. i was advised by their service manager that on 11/29/2013, my vehicles cvt transmission was replaced. one month before i purchased my brand new vehicle. i was never informed of this at the time of purchase, or i would've passed on this car. now, at 62k miles, 2k miles over warranty, my transmission needs to be replaced. i find it strange that a 2 1/2 year old car is needing a 3rd transmission. my car has only been serviced at the dealer, i've complained of vibration at every service from day 1, now i'm expected to pay $4000 for an obviously defective cvt, which will only be a band-aide. this could result in an extremely unsafe situation & i just pray that nissan does the right thing & corrects this issue, before it's too late.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. while driving approximately 60 mph on the highway, the speedometer dropped to 25 mph without warning. the contact was able to pull over safely, activate the hazard lights, and exit the highway. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 71,000.

While stopped at a traffic light the car cut off ! i restarted and put it in gear and the car cut off again. the car would idle fine in park and neutral but cut off whenever i put it in gear. after pushing the car to a lot and leaving it for 12 hours the car started to work normally. however the next day the same exact thing happened ! after researching the issue i found that this transmission has major issues and nissan isn't addressing it. i opened a case with nissan consumer affairs case number 22626692 and was told me that there is nothing they can do because my car has 81k miles . making it 20k miles over the manufacture warranty. there is no way that a well maintained cars transmission should fail at 80k miles. nissan knows this yet they are failing to help consumers with this problem ! the cvt tansmission can cause someone to lose their life ..
