Transmission stopped working while i was driving on wednesday may 25th 2016. while i was driving the car cutoff twice, after the car restarted and i placed it in drive it would not drive.

Car stopped responding to pressure on the gas pedal - took its time getting in gear, both from a cold start, and after stopping at an intersection. even after the car was moving, car was slow to respond to gas pedal. repair shop diagnosed it as a cvt failure; we've had to replace the transmission on a 3 year old vehicle at 74,000 miles.

I purchased my 2013 nissan altima (44k miles) in may 2015. i had no issues with this vehicle until i reached the 50k mile mark in january 2016. the first issue started when the vehicle would push really hard driving up a hill. the next issue happened on 5/2/16 when i placed the vehicle in 'drive' and it went forward for a few seconds and it completely shut off. to be clear, it was not the battery. everything worked in the car except its ability to actually drive. i took it to the nissan dealership and they kept the vehicle for about 2 days for inspection. i was told that they couldn't find a thing wrong with the vehicle; no error codes or driving issues while the vehicle was with them. i had no choice but to take back my vehicle and hope for the best. however, on may 21, 2016, the vehicle shut off again. i was almost rear-ended because it shut off while the vehicle was in motion. i sat in the middle of a busy street for 20 mins before the vehicle decided to drive again. i'm almost sure that it is the cvt transmission. i have researched this problem and it seems as if i'm not the only nissan owner with this problem. the cvt transmission seems to "go out" at the 50k mile mark. i find it hard to believe that this vehicle can shut off while in use and there is no code or trail as to why. the most dangerous part of this experience is that the car shuts off while it is being actively driven. i use the freeway twice a week and there would life-threatening effects if the vehicle shut off in that type of traffic (65-75 mph). i have never had a vehicle that completely shut off and a certified mechanic could not tell you why. as i previously mentioned, i'm sure it has something to do with the transmission because the vehicle's driving capabilities are affected. there's no telling what other parts are being affected by this issue.

My gear shift is stuck. each time i want to drive, i have to use my key to push in the manual override for the gear shift. not safe.

Cvt transmission recall. at 74000 miles, the transmission unexpectedly went out. called nissan dealership and a mechanic was able to identify issue. he stated that it is unfortunately very common. car judders while in drive. initially started whole driving on the highway.

I was stopped at an intersection when the vehicle started jerking and moving forward. i thought i got rear ended by the car behind me, so i turned the ignition off. it turns out the cvt was having issues. i turned the car back on and started driving.the car would feel like it was downshifting while driving, almost causing accidents with the vehicles behind me. i brought the car to the dealer where they said the cvt needed to be replaced.

Driving down road (pkw 55 miles per hr speed limit), started to loose power, rpm's dropped, slower till car would no longer go forward. stopped in middle of rush hour traffic. transmission had failed. many reports of same problems with this cvt transmission on internet of transmission failing with no warning. .

Shift handle does not move out of parking unless you push down on the shift release button with a hard straight object like a pen or allen wrench.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. while driving 65 mph, the vehicle slowed independently to 45 mph. the vehicle then independently accelerated to 65 mph. the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. the vehicle went into safe mode. the contact was also informed that the cvt transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 100,000.

My car shuts off at traffic lights and hesitate upon take off..makes noises when i put it in park...i got this car in 2013 brand new..

80k miles and tranny bearing gone!!

Transmission abruptly started bucking/malfunctioning while both traveling as well as at a stop sign. i took it to the dealer who could not replicate it, then it happened again, and again dealer could not replicate but put some software down. then it happened again on the nys thruway---bucking to the point it was abruptly slowing down and i almost got hit by a semi. this time the dealer said the cvt transmission was bad. car was purchased new 2 years ago and has 50k miles on it.

Car jutter & stalled when came to a stop. took car to local nissan dealership and they placed car on diagnostic which came back clear and could not duplicate problem for 2 days. received car back and car did the same thing, took it to a different nissan dealership that said they have heard of same complaints but they have had my car for 5 days and claim to not be able to duplicate the problem. car warranty is almost up and nissan seems to be of no help. passenger airbag light also stays on from time to time. i have read and printed out several identical complaints and there seems to be no resolve.

I put my car in reverse and it would not move. it eventually started about 10 seconds later. then when driving it began to sputter and jump in and out of acclerating. it did not accelerate correctly... i would push the gas pedal and it would not move, then it would jolt in to forward. the car barely got me to work. i took it to a nissan dealer where they diagnosed it with a bad transmission. however, nissan would not replace the transmission, even thought the car is only 2.5 years old... because it has 62,000 miles, which is 2,000 over the powertrain warranty. i have to pay one fourth the price of the car (which i still pay a note on) to replace the transmission.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine and traction control warning lights illuminated. the contact mentioned that the vehicle was able to restart, but stalled immediately when the gear lever was shifted into drive. the failure occurred constantly. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vin was unknown. the approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

Loud vibrating sound when depressing the accelerator at 40mph and 70mph. at low rpms to car also vibrates around 25mph. it also vibrates at 40mph and 70mph when pressing on the accelerator.

While driving car shutters and stalls. cuts off while at traffic light. would start back up but shutts off. got it towed to nissan dealer but they said no codes found so nothing thyey can do. car stalled again this weekend.while i was parked in my drive way car starts shutter and jerk forward while in park.

While in motion on a city street i pressed the brake to slow down as a approach a traffic light. my vehicle shut off. i restarted the vehicle and each time i put the car into drive it would shut off again. i was unable to move the car from the street. this took place in the downtown district during the busiest time of the date.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. while parked, the vehicle rolled backwards and crashed into another vehicle. a police report was not filed. the passenger sustained a head injury that required medical attention. on several occasions, the vehicle accelerated independently. the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 120,000. ....updated 06/15/16 *bf *tr

My 2013 nissan ultima driving on that highway stop and when off 20 sec later starts took it to the dealer they say i need a new transmission i only have 61,000 miles and they have a lot of complaints from different people they want me to pay almost $5000 but i did not get fixed

In less than three years and just over 36,000 miles we have serviced the transmission 3-4 times (i've lost count), had it brought in for brake noise (screeching) at least 4 times, and just this week the bearings in both rear wheels had to be replaced. the brakes screech is ear splitting. they reconditioned the surface of the rotors, re-shimmed the pads and replaced the pads 9 months ago. i warned them then that i knew this was only a temporary fix and that i was concerned that they would get noisy again once the warranty expires and that is exactly what has happened. a few months before that they shimmed the pads which made it better temporarily. i told them shims were a band aid for a design flaw and that it wouldn't last. several weeks later it was back in the shop. the tranny has the shakes. it has been reprogrammed, the alternator was replaced because supposedly the voltage variation was affecting the timing of the tranny, and most recently a vale body was replaced. the oscillation problem is better for now but my wife had it buck again last week just not as bad. it's just a matter of time on this too. their competitors do not have this problem. i am highly concerned that i have more bearing issues in the future. two out of two bearing sets failing (the fronts bearings are different) is a 100% failure rate in less than 36k. all three problems (brakes, transmission and bearings) are known issues in this year, google it.

Car was driving down the road and stalled out on me completely as i was coming to a stop light about to get on interstate 81 in staunton va. i was able to restart the car back up, but the car would die out if i shifted it from park to drive. local sheriff's deputy was kind enough to protect our car at this busy intersection as we waited for tow company. dealership advised the torque converter had locked up. once they had it up on lift, it disengaged and started working properly. however, the mechanic (who was very professional at valley nissan in staunton va) advised me that it could break down again at any point. it was very scary when it died it in motion, so we went with the option to replace the torque converter and the transmission (advised that was the only option to really fix this issue). repair bill from valley nissan in staunton va is $3114.39 for transmission replacement. googling cvt 2013 nissan altima issues brings a plethora of results. i am clearly not the only person to have this issue. this happened at 64,207 miles, - 4,207 miles over the factory warranty for the transmission. can't understand how the people who work at nissan could stand behind any product that has a failure rate of under 100,000 miles for a transmission in this world now. they made it seem like a failure at 60k miles was normal.

When this issue first happened i was proceeding to leave the gas station from getting gas and my car just shut off right before i was about to enter onto the highway. i took it to the dealership and they couldn't get it to shut off on them and sent me home. the next time i started to get ready for my class and went to crank my car, it crank, but once i put it into drive it shut off. i had to get it towed to nissan if vidalia and it took them 3 days to tell me that i needed a new transmission! i have not even had this car a year yet and already needing a new transmission. i purchased my car from nissan of south morrow and they failed to inform me about an extended warranty so now i'm stuck with a car but cannot drive it because i do not have $3,600 to have it replaced. this is ridiculous and nissan needs to put a recall on all cvt transmissions because this is very unsafe!!! they've did nothing to help me with my situation and i will never do business with them again!!!!

I recently purchased a previously owned 2013 nissan altima 2.5 sv and noticed almost immediately a shudder and juttering of the vehicle which suggested a load on the engine or transmission. it creates a relatively loud sound and a not very smooth ride. you can feel the vibration in the steering wheel. as i began to research what might be wrong i found that there have been numerous complaints about the cvt transmission by many owners. fixes and/or explanations by the dealers have ranged from complete transmission, torque converter, valve body assembly and alternator replacement to reprogramming the transmission to dealer service departments suggesting that this is normal for a cvt transmission. i don't know of any published recall notices or service bulletins for this problem and from my research a good many instances occur after the 60,000 mile powertrain warranty has expired. since i purchased this vehicle used and it has 51,000 miles on it i am very concerned that i may be facing a costly repair in the not too distant future. i bring this to your attention because i have already lived through this experience once before with a 2005 ford five hundred with a cvt transmission which ended up costing me close to 2,000 dollars to have the dealer fix it out of warranty. in my view i firmly believe that manufacturers are having nightmarish problems with this type of transmission and so they are trying to bury the problem until warranty expiration because the cost incurred by the manufacturers of a mandated recall would cost them millions of dollars for a permanent fix. i implore you to begin an investigation into the viability and reliability of cvt transmission technology across all manufacturers so that the public can best be served by the truth, the inherent problems and the permanent resolution of what also can be a safety issue for many motorists. thank you. *tr

Purchased car may of 2013, pre-owned certified and only 21000miles. from onset of ownership, brakes made noises, "cyclop brake light in rear window would blink constantly, dash lights would go from dim to bright all the time. the car would hesitate when leaving stop position, pushing electronic start button would not work often. dealership always said that the situation could not be duplicated. on dec. 2nd, 2015 while driving home i was approaching a stopped car in the middle of the road and tried to slow below the 20mph i was driving and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and all dash lights went blank and the car stalled resulting in a collision. the car would not start for over 2 hours. the dealership asked about the key fob location and battery condition and the batteries were good and key fob was on front seat where it always was. i filed a customer complaint with nissan consumer affairs on dec, 4th 2015 and constantly got run-arounds with no call backs several time. i was left without a vehicle and no help from dealership or nissan consumer affairs. while reading the many complaints of other altima's i was so concerned with my safety and health i purchased another car. i believe i had an electrical issue from the beginning and it could not be diagnosed and it ended up with a collision involving another car.

My car jerks hard at low speed around 15-20 mph while decelerating on city streets. in bumper to bumper traffic the cvt tranny is at its worse. it feels like the tranny can't decide what it needs to do. also, between 60-65 mph on the highway there is a judder feeling like the car is moving across a wash board. took car to the dealer on 02dec15, tcm was reprogramed. 08dec15, car has the same issue.

The nature of my complaint is centered around the now defunct transmission (cvt) in my 2013 niss alt sv only has 82000 miles on it. the car has been driven primarily as a commuter car to and from work everyday (164 miles) roundtrip. there were no codes, had the car checked by the local auto zone. the first noticeable problem occurred on sunday, november 29th, 2015, i was coming home from about a 150-mile trip and stopped to take a restroom break, parked the car, ran into the store, came back out and cranked it up. when i started to backup the car bobbled and shuttered something fierce and went dead. after making it to the interstate i traveled about 15 miles to the next town, when i got to the stop light the car died. i managed to crank it back up and get her going again on my way home. after making it home the car was parked until the next morning. going back to work the next day with no problems (nov 30th, 2015), on the way home from work, i started to notice that the car was very sluggish in response to throttle and felt like it wasn't downshifting, something was right'i immediately called the nissan dealership and setup service for december 03, 2015 and told them that the transmission needed to be looked at. about 3 miles from the house the car was having some definite problems with acceleration. i managed to make it home and parked the car thinking nothing of it. a couple of hours later i decided to leave for a bite to eat, when i got in and put it in gear, nothing, the car would not move in forward or reverse. called nissan usa and opened a case, had the car towed to the dealership dec 01, 2015. the next day dec 02, 2015 the dealership called and said the transmission had an 'internal failure' (no codes) and the cost to repair would be around $3200, nissan is refusing to pay for the faulty transmission and denies that there is a ongoing problem with the cvt.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. while driving at 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. in addition, on some occasions, the vehicle vibrated severely while idling. the failure recurred intermittently. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the continuously variable transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 69,000.

Just purchased nissan altima 2013 sl with 24,000 miles still under new car warranty in sept. paying $400 monthly. accidentally bumped coffee cup when getting into car. a few weeks later the shifter sticks in park, and you can't get it out unless you pay nissan $1000 to replace it. i payed them $120 to clean. it didn't work. the nissan north american office called me to tell me that they would do nothing. this is a known manufacturer design issue. my boss has a $45,000 nissan titan, and he has to use a screw driver like i do to push down in the little opening beside the gears. you have to lift the little box lid to the left of the gears. nissan has known about this for years. i am single, and struggling to make the car payment already, and i work in a real bad area. my safety is a concern if i can't leave as quickly as i enter the car. nissan denies that this is their fault and is trying to stick it to nissan consumers. i will never buy another nissan, and have already told 2 altima owners about this problem, and will tell everyone i see who is considering purchasing a nissan, or has one. this happens when the car is in park.

Power shifter will not move out of park unless you pay nissan $1000 to repair. you can do a manual override using a screwdriver, but if you forget to put the brakes on, you will go into reverse automatically which can damage the transmission, or cause an accident. this is also a problem with the nissan titan truck. nissan said it was caused by a drink being spilled, and it only takes a drop or two. i accidentally bumped my coffee cup when getting into the car. a dealer tried to clean the shifter, but it didn't work, and they charged me $120 dollars. car is stationary.

I bought a 2013 nissan altima from enterprises car sales with 44,669 miles on it, at 1 month later i started having transmission problems but every time i would take the car back the problem would go phantom. at 8 month later the transmission goes out. enterprise lied and said that i never reported the problem. it is not normal for a transmission to go out so soon, what can i do about this?

The vehicle would not accelerate after getting on the highway coming from the main street. car had to be towed because the vehicle could no longer move. after review by mechanics they deemed the issue being the transmission. the car was newly purchased at 88k miles. no liability or responsibility was picked up nissan after i was assured that the new cvt was great on the new models.

The continuously variable transmission failed while going down the interstate. the car would maintain speed but was very, very slow to accelerate and when i exited the interstate, it only idled and would not accelerate from a stop for several minutes. eventually it sputtered and i was able to limp it to the dealership that, by the grace of god, just happened to be at that same exit in vicksburg, ms. after doing research while stuck at the hotel this seems to be a very common problem the the cvt's in 2013 altimas. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/nissan_altima.html http://www.carcomplaints.com/nissan/altima/2013/transmission/cvt_shuttering_vibration_running_roughly.shtml http://www.nissanclub.com/forums/2013-nissan-altima-discussion-2-5-3-5/334681-13-altima-cvt-issues-please-read.html this one is 49 pages!!

The cvt transmission started jerking and shuttering before warranty was expired. i took it to the dealership and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. now that the warranty is expired it is getting worse. when driving down the highway it will jerk and shutter.

When i was driving my 2013 nissan altima on august 26, 2015 my car lost pressure and started to jerk, after almost being hit by other drivers, i was able to pull over and call for help. i tried to restart the car and it started up again and when i put the car in drive it shut off. i have made several reports to the service department at the dealership and no help. finally, after experiencing the horrible deal on yesterday, the tech call to report that he tried to check the car on the machine and its wasn't given him a indication of anything being wrong with the car. he finally drove the car and it started acting up on him and stop and he saw that is was indeed the transmission gone bad. what is so sad about the situation is that i had be complaining about the car a week after i bought in. you could park on a hill and the car will vibrate really hard and i was told this was normal. complaint after complaint after complaint. i am really terrified out my head to drive this car. i fear for my life and my children. all i can think of is the what if!

Lost power to the drivetrain - car coasted to a stop this happened just as i was pulling into a parking lot so it was far less dangerous than it could have been - nissan is replacing the transmission

When slowing down for traffic light, car stalled. would start but would not move. transmission stalled and it rolled backward although i was in drive and pushing on gas. transmission finally engaged once up to 4000 rpm and car began to move, slowly. various cars almost rear-ended me at different times when light was green, i had foot off brake, and was trying to move forward. this happened various times before the transmission actually went out at 62,500 miles. had it hooked up to computer at nissan dealer and showed no defect.

Not 2 years yet of ownership (may 2015) and my car decides to not accelerate on me. i would have to floor it to get it to finally kick in and drive until i stopped at the next light. there were no warning lights or anything letting me know of any problems. had 2 near collisions with my family in the car trying to get my car to the nearest dealer to have it checked out. dealer thought it was transmission and alternator but upon warranty rep diagnosing vehicle, it was decided that it needed a new alternator. this is a huge concern for me and the safety of my family and passengers not to have a light go off to warn me of problems and just to have it happen while driving.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. while driving approximately 30 mph, the transmission shifted from drive into the neutral position independently and an abnormal noise emitted. the vehicle was towed to the dealer, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate or locate the failure. the contact experienced multiple unrelated failures with the vehicle that included the exterior door failing to unlock or lock with the key fob until after several attempts. a burning odor emitted from the air vents when the air conditioner or heater was activated. there were no flames present. also, the brakes squeaked intermittently when depressed. the contact stated there was concern regarding a potential health hazard with the push button starter causing cancer. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 10,600.

I was driving down the interstate with my three childred going 65 mph ( which was the speed limit) i slowed down to let a car in front of me, tried to speed up but my car would not accelerate. pulled to the side of the interstate, confused at what was happening with my car. i turned my car off and on and as soo n as i would put it in gear my car cut off. it did this 3 times. when i finally got my car to stay "in drive" my car would not go faster than 45 mph and it felt like my car was pulling. i was scared to death with my three children in the car with me and we were on the side of the interstate. i drove with my flashers on going 45 mph during rush hour, had to get off on the first exit. took my car to the nissan dealership, by then my car would not go faster than 25 mph, and stated that i needed a new transmission. its a 2 year old car and i bought it less than a year ago. nissan has refused to pay for the repairs as it has passed the 60000 warranty.

Shacking and unable to control and no one till this day??? why ? i'm sorry but dodge chrysler nor any dealer ship has my air bag and 98% of parts in stock... so now what??? i spent a lot of much $$$$...

Three weeks prior to the incident day i retrieved my car from the dealer under the assumption the air flow sensor was malfunctioning and it was replaced. the symptoms i was experiencing was a shuttering of the car while accelerating. the car would just cut off while in drive or when the gear changed to reverse. it would cut on, but as soon as a gear changed, it would automatically shut off. the dealer said it was an air flow sensor problem and two other cars came in the same week with the same problem. that was the 1st incident three weeks ago. as of today, my car is in the dealer yet again although it encountered the same symptoms mentioned previously. this time the diagnoses was the transmission went out and needed to be replaced. the car is only 32k miles and i've had ownership for less than 2 years. it has always been serviced timely and by certified individuals. the transmission is faulty as noted by others complaints occurring this year as the transmission just gives out.

I was driving down the road between 45 and 50 miles an hours, and my car just cut off. would start fine, but would cut off as soon as input it into drive or reverse.

I was driving on the highway when the car started running rough. next the rpm's display was jumping around. the car just slowed down like it was going to stop in the middle of the highway. when i got to town it became worse. the car had a delay when i tried to accelerate from a dead stop the car sounded like it was a standard instead of an automatic. also after shifting to drive or reverse it was a long wait before the car would engage. when i took the car to the dealer they diagnosed that the transmission had gone out. i had the car from april 22 to may 3 when this occurred. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. while driving, the vehicle hesitated when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the contact indicated that the failure would occur in both the drive and reverse position. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 55,000.

I finance a 2013 nissan altima s, i noticed that my engine light, air bag light, brake light and tire pressure light kept coming on all at once, and would stay on for a day or two and then would go away on it's own yet the car never gave any physical signs that a problem was going on. so i assumed that maybe there was a sensor problem. i was leaving from work when i approached a stop sign and came to a stop. as i proceed to step on the gas to go is when i noticed that the car had shut off on me yet the radio and lights were still working. i tried to start the car up when the warning symbol came on stating that my key pad was invalid.that continued until the tow truck driver arrived resulting in him towing the car away to cherry hill nissan. it was there that i was told that at 80,000 miles my transmission had went yet no one could give me an explanation as to why or what caused the problem. now as of 10/22/2016 i am having the same signs and symptoms that were going on before my transmission went the first time with all the warning symbols coming on for a few days then going back off all on their own. 10/26/2016 my car cut off on me as i was in route. after getting it to start back up i immediately stopped at auto zone where they hooked my car up to their diagnostic machine and reported to me that my computer brain was malfunctioning.i won't know for certain what is actually going with my car until monday 10/31/2016 when i take it into nissan of turnersville so they can run test. in which i was informed over the phone that beings though the warning symbols come on and off on their own they may not be able to diagnosis what the actual problem is. how do i handle this matter if they can't figure out what causing the problem? i've already contacted corporate nissan and they couldn't even tell me if the recalls that occurred prior to me getting the car were ever address

Car purchased 2/27/2015. having a tire sensor and torque converter replaced in less then two weeks of purchasing this thing, now the check engine light comes on weeks later. took it to the dealership. was told that they ran tests and couldn't find anything. was told that a part maybe going bad but they couldn't do anything until it was completely bad. they turned the light off and was told that if it came back on then to bring it back. two days later, the light came back on. i called the dealership and was told that they couldn't get me in to check it for 4 days. my husband went up there to talk to the representative. he told them that we were heading out of town over 600 miles away. he wanted to know if it would be ok and did we purchase a lemon. we were told that they don't sell lemons and we should be fine. the associate turned the light off. after returning from the trip 3 days later, 2 hours from home, the light comes back on. two days later it went off. a week and a half the light comes back on and my husband, being feed up, took it to the dealership again and was told that the system needed to be updated for $160 and that's why the light kept coming on. the update was done on 4/20/2015. today, 4/22/2015, i went to my son's sports banquet and the light is back on. my husband and i are taking it back up there on the 24th. i am beginning to believe something is going on and we are not being told about this vehicle. i have checked for recalls and everything but nothing has come up. i am just about ready to get rid of a 2013 car that i haven't even had for a full 2 months. *tr

Unable to shift the gear shift lever out of the park position. at first i thought i might not have pressed on the brake. after a few attempts it unlocked and i was able to put it in gear. i took it to the local nissan dealership on friday march 27, 2015, and was told the 'brake safety switch' failed. this was replaced at a cost of $154. left the dealership and car was shifting fine. the next morning i drove a local day went to local store and pulled into a parking spot, when i came out and when to leave, i was not able to shift the gear shift out of the park position. called the nissan dealership and was told to have it towed in. the tow truck driver removed the "shift lock cover button" and used a screwdriver to override the gearshift lever and then put the car into gear, and on the truck. the service representative stated that the entire gear shift mechanism had to be replaced. they have not told me why it failed. when the car had 59,000 miles i took the car into this same dealership. at t at that time, they replaced the transmission, stating that there was a "code failure". since the car is no longer under the manufacturer's warranty, the cost for repair is over $650. they have not indicated what caused the failure, only that it has to be replaced . seems funny that this would fail right after the transmission was replaced. *tr

Car was purchased on 2/27/2015. left the car lot and went back to have tire sensor replaced after 30 minutes of driving. on 3/3/2015, my husband was in the car when it stopped at a red light and wouldn't move. the engine would start but wouldn't move. called dealership. they sent a tow truck and got us a rental car. after a couple of days, was told that the torque converter was gone in the transmission. this was replaced costing me $100 deductible. all of this before my first car note is paid. *tr
