Problems with 2015 Nissan Altima VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

The car fails to accelerate when i step on the gas pedal. sometimes it will have delayed acceleration or none at all. the engine will rev but no motion. i also took the car for a smog check in attempt to change ownership and it didn't pass smog a code p0776 came up. took it to an auto repair shop and they stated it was a transmission problem. now i'm stuck with this dangerous death trap. this is very dangerous while turning and while on the freeway. it happens periodically with no warning.

Purchased the car in 2016 with 22,000 miles. at the 2nd oil change, nissan dealership said it needed the cvt reprogrammed. from that point until now, i have complained about juddering, shuddering, delayed acceleration, and just not going when the gas pedal was pressed. the last time it happened before being completely disabled, it left me stranded on an interstate ramp merging into highway traffic, the car just would no go. it acted like it was starting off in 3rd gear, which is very dangerous! when i took it to the local dealership, i was told that if something was wrong with the transmission, the check engine light would come on, but it would cost me $200 for a diagnosis since it was out of warranty. now, my car has 140k miles and is out of warranty, the transmission needs to be replaced and they still won't do anything about it. i have asked several times about the multiple tsb's associated with the 2015 nissan altima 4-cylinder cvt, which my car is, and they've told me that none of them apply to my car. something needs to be done about this issue affecting millions of customers!

Intermittent problem the dealer could not duplicate since 25k miles. the car revs and loses speed. sometimes i press the gas pedal and it will not go for 2-5 secomds. recently going up a hill the car rolled backwards while i was pressing the gas pedal. turning the car off can "cure" the symptom until it randomly has the same problem. it is difficult driving in traffic, or deciding to make left turns because i can not depend on acceleration

My nissan altima 2015 will not accelerate on a highway. it only has 30k on it. i took it to nissan 2 times for this problem and they told me that nothing was wrong. july 21, 2019, it was towed again while i was on the long trip. overall, it happened 10 times. car falls on its face. you are not able to accelerate. i hads to tow it 2 times already. the other times i had to wait 30 min or so. when on highway you go 65, it drops to 40, then 20; it sputters and then you have to stop. my nissan altima was moving when the acceleration gave up no matter how strong you push the pedal. the engine light comes on too. i was in logandale nevada. turned the car off. then waited. after 15 min, i was able to start the car and drive it barely at 20 min per hour on highway 15 coming from las vegas to moapa paiute travel plaza gas station. this is so dangerous because other card=s do not kjnow that you have acceleration failure and they drive behind you at 60-70 miles per hour and it can be very scary because you have to come to a complete stop as the acceleration does not work and car goers eventually to 0 miles per hour no matter how hard you push the acceleration pedal. car is still under warranty and nissan needs to address the issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan alitma. while driving various speeds, the vehicle hesitated and failed to accelerate without warning. the contact called all star nissan (27700 juban rd, building 3, denham springs, la 70726, (225) 272-9330) and informed them of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 85,031. *tr

Takata recall, doesn't accelerate when petal is pressed but instead delays for 3-5 seconds. then it jerks and accelerates quickly

When driving in hot weather or a long distance (60+miles) on streets and/or highway, the vehicle will not accelerate after coming to a complete stop. stopping in bumper to bumper traffic, stop sign, stop light or even after having to do an emergency brake. the vehicle will not accelerate until 5-10 seconds have passed with the acceleration pedal pressed. this issue has caused numerous close rear end accidents just to myself. a normal day of driving turns into a guessing game if i will be rear ended due to this transmission issue. many 2013+ nissan owners have this issue and nissan of america refuses to recall their transmissions. after the vehicle finally starts accelerating, rather hard due to having to hold the acceleration pedal to max for it to move, it loses power when it shifts to the next gear. rpm falls under the optimal rpm for the given speed and feels like you go from 1st gear to 4th gear.

Driving on the freeway at 75mph and the car starts jerking and i was unable to accelerate i believed the car would stop. i managed to to get out of the freeway with the speed coming down and then my car gave out . it is a safety concern. sometimes i am at a redlight and my car will not accelerate. i have 70,000 miles on my car.

Started the cruise control when trying to apply the brakes the brakes didn't work. pump brakes continuously and the car wouldn't stop.oat control of the car and plunged into a ditch.

While parallel parking on the street next to my home, my car experienced a sudden acceleration. i had pulled into the space between the two vehicles in the photo provided. while my foot was on the brake, and the car stationary, i placed the gear selector into reverse in order to back away from the car in front. as i started to release the brake, my car unexpectedly accelerated. i pressed against the brake. with the wheels skidding along the asphalt and having the front wheels turned slightly, the car hit the curb and the car behind me. all cars pictured are family members cars. i have contacted the nissan complaint hot line. they informed me that there is a update for the control unit, but that what i had experienced is not a condition for the update.

Car will suddenly lose ability to accelerate during hot or cold weather. when this happens, the car will hesitate to move for about 5 seconds then will suddenly begin to accelerate at a very low speed. if i pull over and turn the car off for a few minutes, it behaves normally again. i have almost been involved in several accidents this winter and summer when this has happened in heavy traffic. please help.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. while driving approximately 30 mph uphill, the vehicle independently rolled backwards. the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was towed to nissan world (146 us-22, springfield township, nj 07081), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 61,000. the vin was not available.

Car just cuts off when the outside temperature is hot

I was on my way to my destination and every time i would press the gas pedal the car wouldn't accelerate. it would hesitate to go. then later that afternoon i was at a red light and the car turned off. no warning lights came on at all and i had plenty of gas.

I bought a used 2015 nissan altima on 6/23/2017 with approx. 47,000. around 6/30/17 the car would not accelerate while driving over 40mph and the rpm was going all the way over to 8 & 9. the car sounded like it was not shifting into gear. i had to pull over, cut off the car and crank it back up again. there have been several times since then, when i'm at a light that the car will not accelerate over 5-10 mph and i have the pedal pushed all the way down to the floor. i took it to the nissan in tuscaloosa, al on 08/21/17 to correct the cvt transmission open recall. i'm not sure if this will solve the problem due to them not finding any codes and test driving the car. i thought the transmission had blown up on 08/21/17 and had to immediately pull over (my son was in the car) on the side of the road.

When using speed control, the vehicle surges on slight downhill inclines. it repeatedly behaves as if the accelerator is depressed then the brake.

I keep reading the same exact story as mine, yet no recalls or help for this problem on so many nissan altimas. sitting still at a redlight, light turns green, your foot is on accelerator but nothing happens for five to ten seconds. finally the engine begins to rev. extremely scary when turning in front of traffic. can also happen when going down the road and all of a sudden the tachometer races, engine races, and wont come down until you pull over and turn the car off and immediately turn it back on. this resets something and everything is okay then. turning it back on resets the problem so it's obviously a simple issue but it is a very dangerous problem. my whole family has come close on several occasions of being in a serious wreck due to this persistent problem. i'm shocked that nissan hasn't had a recall on this. i read on the internet that there is a recommendation that the valve body be replaced, but this is not in effect for my particular vin number. you asked below when this happened. it has happened ever since i had the vehicle for the past two years. sporadically, maybe once every two to three weeks.

Car fails to accelerate after a total stop and sitting at a traffic light. absolutely no power. the gas pedal can be pressed all the way to the floor before vehicle begins moving. the gas pedal was pressed gradually. after a few seconds of keeping the pedal on the floor, the rpm will spike and the car will slowly begin moving forward. after backing off the pedal completely, the car can be driven normally once the engine slows down and the transmission shifts back. it was approximately 80-85 degrees outside, clear, car was at a slight incline going up a hill. please see similar complaints at http://www.carcomplaints.com/nissan/altima/2015/transmission/hesitates_sputters.shtml

I bought a brand new nissan altima 2015 car. my car has been having issues. right now, its mass air flow (maf) sensor failed which had caused safety concerns including drivability problems. the car at times dies in the middle of the road and its hard to control the car. i have infants in my car and i feel it is not safe for a brand new car to have issues. according to my dealer maf sensor is a known issue with nissan cars. two days ago i nearly had an accident because of this issue.
