While I was driving and had stopped at a red light. When the light turned green the vehicle wouldn-€™t move and instead shut down. It would power normally again, but when the car is shifted into drive, the car shuts down again. This is incredibly dangerous as my car was stopped in the middle of the road during rush hour. I was lucky to not have been hit. There were no warning signs. It happened very suddenly. I took my car to the dealership and they said my car needs a transmission replacement (car is a 2013 and 61k miles). I found out that there was a class action lawsuit that took place in 2020 for the very problem in the make, year and model of my car (CVTs in many 2013-2016 models). Nissan never recalled the transmissions but instead settled for an extended warranty which ended May 2020 for me. Now it is May 2021 and my transmission needs replacing. This problem is not only a part of the class action lawsuit that is already settled, but there are countless accounts of this problem still happening to people. Nissan is failing to take accountability for their faulty transmissions, which is a danger to the public. I-€™m am asking that NHTSA pressures Nissan to recall all CVTs and to reimburse people for their CVT repair costs.

2013 Nissan Altima just went dead while driving on street. Got it towed to garage, garage said cvt dead, transmission needs replacement, $$$$$, very unhappy

- Summerfield, FL, USA

The transmission has failed prematurely. The car has stalled creating a dangerous situation. The vehicle will vibrate and pulls oddly at low speeds. A burning smell has now developed and I cannot drive the vehicle due to safety concerns. There are many many other Nissan Altima owners reporting the same issue and there needs to be a recall on the cvt transmission on my car.

When driving the car the acceleration is hesitant. When sitting at a red light and go to accelerate there is a delay in which the car won't move. When driving the transmission does not seem to want to shift. This happens both on a street and highway. This has happens multiple times. I just bought the car about 1 year ago.

Car started having problems when attempting to accelerate, began jerking and a shaking randomly while driving. These problems started around 70,000 miles. Recently my car started jerking while trying to drive out of a subdivision then the engine light came on and also the traction light. I couldn't accelerate so I safely pulled to side of road because it felt like I lost power. I was able to take it to autozone nearby where the scanner read a code for a stuck solenoid. After taking it to Nissan dealership where they were supposed to work on recalls related to my vehicle (including a cvt reprogramming),they called me and told me the transmission completely went out when mechanic tried pulling it into shop. Now I'm stuck with a car I can't drive and can't afford to fix. They quoted me $4200 to replace a transmission that seems to be faulty in the first place. Your customers need to be compensated for this. An extended warranty shouldn't have been the only solution. I'll never buy a Nissan again and will be avoiding cvt transmissions if possible.

I had to replace the transmission in my 2013 Nissan Altima. These transmissions are defective and dangerous as can be seen by the numerous complaints and class action lawsuits. The NHTSA should hold Nissan responsible for the cost of the replacement.

On April 2018, I visit the Nissan del oeste at aguadilla pr to report noise in the power steering noise, no action was taken, they just said that was normal with all Nissan power steering pump. February 25, 2021 I contact Nissan del oeste at aguadilla pr and notify about the issue of the power steering noise and transmission noise. Appointment for March 2 2021 was set and I notify them with problem. They told me there was not any recall for power steering pump and cvt transmission. I did mention the recalls for 2013 Nissan Altima iaw NHTSA with ref.: ST12-009B, ref:ntbb-0176 andtsb ntb12-081. They inform at the voucher the mileage in and out, they did not took the car for a run of 6 miles like it says on voucher 48133S. The main concern is that the car could have any situation with one of those parts just mentioned during a drive and cause any accident with out having the control. My question is, if there is a malfunction for my 2013 Altima that is already knowledge by Nissan motor comp. And provide recalls why my have to be exclude? the power steering noise is at every moment when on and running, power steering fluid is good. The transmmision is during the driving with some noise after 20 miles drive on highway between 65 to 70 mph and then pressing the brake, the noise feel like it come from the transmmision. Another situation is ocaccionaly some lowt of power and some times accelerate. Brakes pads are good, brake fluid is good. My car mpg is 31.2 and mileage at this moment is 76,680.

P17F0 is the diagnostic code that I received after taking my 2013 Altima sv 2.5 to a mechanic due to loss of power, horrible gas milage and a heavy vibration/rumbling noise coming from the front of my car.

I was driving down the road (in suburbs) when I came to a stop sign. I started noticing a little stutter when I approached the stop sign and started slowing down. This is a continuous problem whenever my car needs to accelerate after a stop (between 5-40 mph) or slow down to come to a complete stop. I haven't been on the highway since I noticed this problem because I am worried for my safety. I went to a mechanic immediately once I noticed the stutter and small jerks. The engine light is not on so when I described this to him he said he had to do an in depth read of my transmission. He ended up finding a code in my transmission that had picked up on the transmission slipping / stuttering.

The car was buzzing under the hood, left-sided, when I first bought it from the dealership in a used condition. This buzzing sound appear when it is around 1.75 RPM. The buzzing got worsened recently and escalated to a mechanical grinding sound. The grinding sounded like metal pieces colliding on each other and was so loud that the people on the entire street could hear. It was the worst (most frequent) when the car started up cold or in any gears for driving (R, D, ds). When the car was at P or N, the sound didn't come on as often. Even after warming up the car, the sound was there at 1.5-1.75 RPM, no matter at what speed. As long as it reached that range of RPM, the sound accompanied. I am afraid this costly problem (~$4000 to replace cvt transmission) will continue to worsen and stop working or burn at some point while driving, leading to a safety concern.

Car jolts and shudders on the road intermittently. Very unsafe as car jolts forward on its own. Car stalls sometimes on the road. Extremely dangerous as you never know when it is going to happen. When you give a little gas, car will sometimes go normally or it will jolt forward like a clutch being let out even though its an automatic. Always happens while driving on the road. This has been an issue with 2013 Nissan and still they have not done a recall. Things that are this dangerous should be recalled because most people cannot pay 4000 dollars for a new transmission.
