I bought my 2015 Nissan Altima with 50k miles on about 2 1/2 - 3yrs ago. The issues with the car started at around 70k miles. When the red light would turn green, I would put the pedal to the metal and the car would not accelerate then all of a sudden it would take off, this scared the crap out of me every time. Finally, when pulling out onto a busy road, the Altima's RPM would shot up to 6/7 and only go about 10 miles per hour almost causing me to get rear ended. After the issues, I brought to a transmission repair shop who confirmed the transmission was bad. At that time, the car had about 70k miles and the warranty was void after 60k, I paid 4,500.00.
Three months down the road with the "brand new" CVT transmission, and while pulling out of my subdivision, the car did it again and this time would not accelerate. It is now at Nissan with a NEW transmission that needs to be replaced and the service cost to install will be $1,200.00 in labor, that Nissan refuses to cover!
I still owe on this car and by the end of this week will have spent $5,700.00 due to the KNOWN ISSUES with the POS CVT transmission and Nissan wont accept fault for the transmission failures!
DON'T BUY NISSAN!!!!
