Vehicle lost power without warning when stopping at traffic lights, intersections, stop signs or whenever the brake was used to come to a complete stop. engine completely dies but will start again but cannot be used to propel the vehicle forward or in reverse. a transmission specialist (aamco) diagnosed the problem and stated that it was the transmission.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, the vehicle shifted to first gear without warning. the contact managed to veer to the shoulder of the road turned the vehicle off and waited for about 5 min to see if the vehicle would then resume normal operation. the vehicle failed to perform as intended. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was taken for a second opinion at another dealer however, it was confirmed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was contacted or made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 103,000.
When driving the vehicle will make a vibration noise, loses power. absolutely no throttle response. almost like getting no fuel, but you can hear the engine revving and vehicle will not move. then all of the sudden it will start to move slowly. then it will go. this process will repeat over and over. until stop and turn the car off. when you come back it acts fine. then starts over once driven a while. this happen when city driving or highway. i finally got a light to come on after several months of driving this way. check engine code p0776 pressure control solenoid. that's in the transmission. dealer says its not covered even though there have been complaints and recalls on other nissan models with cvt transmissions.
As i was driving i noticed as i was giving my car gas. it was acting as if it didn't want to pull. it was idling very high and wouldn't go over 30mph. i began to panic because this is a new car. i'm like is it the transmission. i pulled over cut the car off and started it back up. the car began to drive back normal. it has done this many times before even while i had uber riders acting as if it doesn't want to pull. it's was in motion each time it happened even on the interstate in busy traffic.
Issues with cvt on my 17 altima. currently at the shop for the second time. at complete stop the car does not want to accelerate, i push the petal to the floor and the rpms race while the car basically crawls. i have to turn the car off and on again to get it to run normal. happens a lot.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle hesitated while the rpm gauge fluctuated. the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the speed was limited to approximately 30 mph. the contact stated that the check engine warning illuminated. the vehicle was taken to (auffenberg nissan1690 new car dr, o'fallon, il 62269, (618) 622-4521) where it was diagnosed and determined that the cvt (transmission) failed and needed to be replaced which was still pending. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Accelerating from a stop sign, about 10 feet later there was no power to the wheels. neither reverse or forward gears worked and the check engine light came on. engine runs normally and no abnormal noises. ended up having to push the car to the nearest safe area and waited for a tow. this seems to be a sudden transmission failure at just over 50,000 miles the shop has quoted me $4000 to replace the transmission citing they have seen many failures on the nissan cvt's and do not recommend repairing them.
Shaking, automatic slowing speed, pick up takes time, engine light on dealer said transmission issue cost 4850 plus tax. this is nissan altima 2016 only 71000. this is absolutely killing consumer finance. never ever nissan again.
Vehicle hesitates to move forward when stepping on gas. seems like it slips at highway speed
