I was driving my daughter home from pre-k and had been in the car for 10 miles without a problem. i was stopped at a stop light at a very busy four -way intersection. the light turned green and the car would not move. i pushed the accelerator and the car didn't move. i was shocked. it was perfectly fine one minute and did not move the next minute. the car acted as if it were in neutral and it wouldn't go. after pressing a few times, the car started to go very slowly. i took some back roads stopping at different parking lots hoping to make it home. i had my car towed to the mechanic. the mechanic said that at 59,700 miles, my 2015 nissan altima's cvt transmission is non-functional & the diagnostic code is starting to show upl. i owe money on the loan and now i have to pay thousands of dollars to replace the transmission or start from scratch. no recalls. no help. what a disappointment.
The vehicle can be sitting still and when you press the gas pedal, nothing happens. the engine does not even rev up. it is as the engine is not even on. this also happens when vehicle is is motion and you press the gas pedal, nothing happens. this happens when vehicle is still, low speed or high speed. and diagnostics system check does not show the problem and the engine light does not come on or get any kind of reading. it happens frequently. have to extreme caution when getting on the freeway and/or changing lanes in traffic.
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.
I was driving on the highway this morning and stopped at the light to make the left turn (about 5 minutes into my drive). once the light turned green, i stepped on the gas but the car would not move. i had to turn the car off and turn it back on. pushing on the gas, the car would not accelerate to the more than 40 mph. i turned the car around to go home (about 1 mile away) as i didn't feel it was safe to drive and had to stop at a red light to make the right turn. once stopped, the car would not move. it was still on and no warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard. i turned the car off and back on and was able to slowly accelerate, again no more than 40 mph. this was scary and dangerous. this could have caused a serious accident.
This happens when the vehicle is stationary and / or in motion. and no engine or anything con=mes to tell you what is wrong. mechanics can notfix it, because nothing shows on the diagnostic machine. sometime when press the gas pedal, the engine does nothing. as if the engine is not even on. after repeatedly pressing the gas pedal the engine will finally respond as it should. it happens frequently.
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 2015 altima is experiencing a sporadic delay when accelerating from a stop. it won't rev or do anything for a couple of seconds no matter how far down the pedal is. then all of a sudden it'll go. there is no check engine light on. i took it to pep boys store to see what the problem was. the tech staff experience the same issue i was when he drove my car. he place the diagnostic tool into my car and came up with a code that stated something was wrong with my transmission(p0776 code). because the store don not deal with transmission, i took it to a nissan dealership and told them the issue. after running test they did not find any issue with transmission or no code when they inserted the diagnostic tool into my car. they stated they is must have been clear. what i dont understand is how it's clear when no one have done any work on the car. i believe it only happens when the car has been driven and the engine is hot.. i explain this to them too.
My nissan altima will randomly have delayed acceleration no matter how hard i push on the gas pedal. at red lights sometimes my car will not move for a few seconds. this has happened multiple times.
My car kept cutting off when i am driving. it gives no warning on when it going to turn off. very dangerous can get a person kill when driving on the highway.
The transmission went out with less than 75000 miles motor mounts bad and air bags does not work. the vehicle was in motion on city street
Takata recall.... when vehicle is in traffic on highway at a stand still and you finally get to move the vehicle won't change gears. the rpm will go as high as 8 but the mileage will not go up, it will stay at that lower level speed.
After driving in stop and go traffic for about 30 minutes. sometimes the gas pedal doesn't respond properly it stalls and goes slow building up speed doesn't respond likes it should. takes a few seconds to reach proper response
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.
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.
The car started vibrating as if it's going to shift down, the engine light cam on. took the car to advance auto , was told that the sensor needed to be repaired laced. took the car to a nissan dealer had the sensor replaced, drove the car for two days. driving to work the next day had the same experience this time the car just stopped. took it back to the nissan dealer was told that the other sensor needed to be replaced. i'm afraid that i might be driving on a highway and may encounter the same problem i hope to god not, but at this point i'm a bit worried. had the car for 4 months now. *tr
Every once in a while no matter how far put my foot down on the pedal it will not accelerate. this is extreamly dangerous as it has happened when crossing intersection in very busy traffic situations. i would say i probably would have been hit at least 5 times in this situation, but the drivers coming the other way saw i was having. a problem and slowed down so they would not hit me.
Nissan seems to have defective ac components in their 2015 altima vehicles. the below link shows additional individuals that have experienced the exact same issue with their 2015 altima. the compressor does not always engage, which causes the vehicle to blow out hot air. however, in some cases the compressor clutch will engage and blow out cool air, but it is very inconsistent. http://m.carcomplaints.com/nissan/altima/2015/ac_heater/ac_is_not_working.shtml
I was driving around a little while and when i came to a stop at a stop light i pushed my gas pedal to accelerate forward and my car did not move, as i pushed my gas pedal all the way to the floor my car would very lightly move. finally after moving barely forward my car would go , i had cars almost hit me and people getting enraged i am not moving, this is an ongoing problem now, it happens often and sometimes causing a very serious and dangerous situation. after doing my research many of owners of this year make and model are having the same issue but yet nothing to come out from nissan for recall. i read if you turn your car off and back on it will reset and then the car goes just fine till the next time and that does work but that is dangerous as well. i bought this car as i thought it would be a safe car for my children and myself. this has been a dangerous issue . when we drive it in the heat it happens worst and then will be on the freeway and it will rev the engine really high and not switch down. please nissan tell me you are going to do something for your loyal customers this is the third nissan i have owned. and i have the airbag issue . it wont pick up my son sitting there and he is 160 lbs
Code p0101 oem specific dtc code. category engine performance - the mass air flow sensor is part of the engine fuel injection system. when driving the engine feels like it struggling to accelerate.
When temperatures are 15 degrees, or lower the engine makes a loud rumbling and knocking noise when started up. the colder it is the louder and longer it last. generally it takes 5-10+ minutes before it quiets down. second issue is; regardless of temperature, when accelerating on a grade it also makes a rumbling noise. the car has 57,000 on it and is very good condition otherwise
I have had problems with my brakes, they sqiuk all the time. the engine light come on and i was told that i had to replace the mass air flow senser my car is only a 2015. this is not right.
Takata recall. when driving the vehicle approximately 65 mph on the freeway, the vehicle slowed down significantly to about 30 mph and i could not accelerate. soon after the check engine light came on. i took my car to autozone and did a system check, i received the error code p2101 detecting the throttle actuator control to be an issue. the next day, when my car was in park my rpms were up to 2,000. when beginning to drive, i would release the brake and without hitting the gas i would go upwards of 25 mph. the amount of time that i drive the vehicle does not matter and there is no in between, the car is either rearing to go or wants to come to a complete stop.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced a loss of engine power. the failure occurred without warning. the vehicle was taken to autoeastern nissan of meadowlands dealer located at 45 s, rte 17, hasbrouck heights, nj where the technician diagnosed that the cvt transmission was defective and the valve body needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was notified and offered to partially pay for the repair. the failure mileage was approximately 67,600.
I got my nissan in december 2015 i had it almost 2 years now the check engine light came on and the deal said the car is out of warranty ...should my car have engine problems at 2 years old?
My car caught fire and was totaled. i had been smelling something the day before it caught on fire. i was driving on the city street and i smelled the smell i had been smelling stronger and i looked at the hood and it was smoking. i pulled over and more smoking started pouring out from my car. then the dashboard went off. i got out and called 911 and by the time they got there the front of my car was on fire. after it was put out the fire had burned through just about everything under the hood.
When starting from a dead stop, pressing down on the accelerator peddle no forward car acceleration, no increase in rpm. after a short period of time ( 2-3) seconds fast increase in rpm and fast forward acceleration. this is very unsafe when trying to merge from a dead stop and expecting forward motion and there is none. this has been a nissan problem since 2008 and no fix or test when taken to dealer. this is a sporadic problem only noticed from a dead stop, city streets going straight or making turn on start, gas tank quantity no issue in this problem.
Takata recall i've only had my car for a month i bought it on 9/15/2017. now my transmission went out. i bought the car from houston auto group
At very low speed (as in searching for a parking space) the car will accelerate, without warning, and then fall back to an idle. my current 2015 altima is at the body shop now because of an accident (due to this unannounced accelerlation) where my wife ran through a wall at riteaid drugs while attempting to park. the vehicle was in the parking space and almost completely stopped when it accelerated. my wife was not badly injured, but could have been, not ot mention any pedestrians that might have walked in front of the her car. i have police report, pics, etc., but unable to load them. i complained to tenneson nissan about this and several other issues at the 5000 mile service visit, to no avail.updated 11/08/17 *bf ...updated 11/14/17 *bf updated 11/16/2017*js updated 11/17/2017*js
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.
While driving in any condition or weather, my car shutters and make a loud vibration noise which is also felt inside the car whenever the rpm reaches 2000 rpm. it only does it on exactly 2000. above or below its fine. ive been to two different nissan dealerships for the past two years of owning it and they tell me its normal. in colder weather its a lot worse. you can play with the rpm and everytime it will vibrate and you can hear and feel it at 2000 rpm. but both dealers say they cant find anything and that they don't notice it. that worries me when a 5 year old asks me what that noise and feeling is but a certified mechanic cant find this problem. its loud and clearly you can feel it. this is ridiculous. all i want is for it to be fixed. if not i'm never buying another nissan product. ive had the worst experience with this brand and ive owned a lot of brands. nissan needs to fix this and spend more money on training. this has been going on for 2 years that ive owned this car.
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.
Back in july car started to lose power and sputter while driving, and nissan replaced valve body. however, car shut off while driving on 09/07 and i was able to coast car to curb. when trying to start again, engine would only crank and not turn over.
I was driving my 2015 altima on a highway and the car suddenly stopped as in a stall with cars behind me swerving off the highway to avoid hitting me. the car had on oil and the oil warning light did not come on until my car stopped, then it said warning low oil pressure. i had just had an oil change at port city nissan, portsmouth, nh, and the service person apparently did not reattach the oil filter correctly, cross-threading the filter resulting in the oil leaking out without me knowing. again, my concern is there was no warning before my car stalled and stopped on a highway. no oil pressure light or low oil alert, nothing until i was almost in a serious accident.
First i was pulling out of my driveway and the car just stopped, i started the car back up and it went. i drove about 3 miles and it was like i couldn't steer the car and as i was pressing the brakes the car was like accelerating. i had to repeatedly push on brakes for the car to slow down and stop. i haven't had this car but 6 months and it's a new vehicle
Car caught on fire by it self while driving, it was a clear night, i did not hit anything. just started by its self.
I purchased my 2015 nissan altima brand new from the dealer. in sept 2015 at 25,000 miles, while driving in the middle of the freeway, the car slow down as if i was driving in a low gear. the rpm went up, but the car is moving very slow. i stop the car and called the service department. they told me to stop and park the car then restarted the car after giving it serval mins of cooling down. i took the car the service the next day, they couldn't find anything wrong with the car. i continue to drive the car for another six or so months then the same happened again. i took the car back to the service department, no problem was found again. couple months later, the car stop in the middle of the road. i took the car in, still no problem ws found. they said they can't mimic the problem and asked that i contiue to drive and stop and park if the problem arise. i told the supervisor/manager at the service department that i don't feel safe driving my family around in a car that stop in the middle of the road but can't find anything wrong. i don't know much about the car, but it has to do with transimition because of the check engine light. i felt that the service department is prolonging the real problem because the car is still under the warranity, and i felt that the problem will be discover once it's out of the warrnity coverage. i have two major concerns: 1. i am worry for the safety of my family when i am driving them around the car that can stop anytime in the middle of the road and cause the accident. 2.i am worry, i'll be making a payment for a car that i can't drive once it is no longer be cover under the warranity and it will costs thousand of dollars to get it fix.
Nissan altima 2015 purchased on 8/15/15 with 6 miles on the engine. on 8/19/15 car was dead without power. battery was replaced and two days later it started powering off again as the vehicle was warming up, and as i was idle at red lights. has turned off 6 times total since purchasing car 17 days ago. called nissan consumer affairs and finance which authorized return of the vehicle. dealership did not comply stating that i had to make reasonable attempts to repair per the lemon law. do not purchase nissan, they have worked the loopholes to go against the consumer, protect themselves, and not create recalls for this. other competitor dealerships accept returns on vehicle malfunctions within 30 - 60 days after purchase. nissan does not offer this same option because they know their products have faults.
Car was purchased new in late april 2015. when i opened the trunk of the vehicle for the first time, i noticed there was rust in the spot welds on the left side of the trunk. front bumper also started to pop out on both sides after driving it the first day and is rubbing and peeling paint from frame of vehicle. rear windshield was pushed all the way to the left with a large gap to the right. this is a big safety issue. front fascia misaligned from factory and rust eating away at main frame of vehicle despite there being no scratches or damage to vehicle. both side skirts misaligned. all doors significantly misaligned from factory. power steering whines and transmission groans and shifts erratically. car does not drive straight at speeds 55+ and wanders between lanes. it takes much effort to keep it straight. trunk lid not aligned properly. bbb mandated nissan to repurchase vehicle and brand it as a lemon due to serious safety defects & non-conformities. nissan failed to fix rear windshield after one attempt and failed to fix other issues after 3 repair attempts. car has been at dealership for 28+ days. nissan failed to calculate correct repurchase numbers and nissan still refuses to fix vehicle. after my protesting, nissan repaired rear windshield but structurally, the rest of the car remains a safety issue. an investigation should be launched. i request nhsta to inspect the quality and build of this vehicle as it endangers my safety and those of other drivers around me. i am still in possession of this vehicle.
