The vehicle began making a loud noise from the front end while rolling down in any situation. Eventually, the car was unable to go into gear due to a cvt failure.

I own a 2007 Nissan Altima with only 79K. The transmission went out of warranty by 6 months. I did some research and it looks like thousands of people have reported issues with the cvt transmission. All these transmissions were going out below 85K. I reach out to Nissan for any assistance and they say "no we are sorry, after looking at your file you never complained previously to Nissan with any transmission issue so you are out of warranty." Seriously!!! you allow them to build junk and they know it and they only use 10 years or 120K warranty. I am a victim with 79K. Nissan needs to stand by there product" I ask you this one question. Do you think that you own a car with 79K that a transmission needs to be replaced" this is not just me but thousands with the same issue.

The vehicle is just past the 120K mile power train warranty period and the transmission/cvt began hard-shifting/clunking at around 40mph. Took it to a certified mechanic who diagnosed it as a failing cvt and requires replacement. Called Nissan dealer and they said "yup, that happens." Offered no guidance, their only solution is to replace the cvt for $6,000 (plus shop fees, taxes, etc.) I've talked to several Altima owners and they've had very similar experiences with cvts failing between 125K and 140K miles, just past the warranty period. The failure is big, and Nissan says the only option is complete replacement - no way to repair this issue.

Vehicle lacks sufficient ability to move forward following an emergency hard braking event (where the wheels lock up; I do not have ABS). Once the car comes to a complete stop, it feels like it has no power to move forward, pressing the accelerator to the floor does little to help. It seems like the cvt stays in whatever high gear it was when I hit the brakes. I believe this constitutes a critical safety issue because the vehicle is now essentially blocking traffic, the driver is unable to get out of harms way/moving traffic. I have experienced this twice now, both within city limits <=45 mph. The only way I am able to get the car moving again is to stop/start the engine or put transmission in park (P) then drive (D) to get the cvt to "reset". shifting into neutral (N) then drive (D) does not help. I have brought this to the dealer's attention and they say there are no recalls and no error codes reported via obdii.

I have had all of the issues concerning power with transmission as others and am told it is an expensive fix that all 07 Altima have. Transmission should be recalled. I do all regular maintenance on my vehicle. I can't afford a new transmission.

I purchased this vehicle used with an (Nissan certified) extended warranty with approximately 25,000 miles in 2010. I have had the automatic cvt transmission replaced (under warranty---cvt replaced with new transaxle assembly) on three separate occasions between 2011 and 2013. In early 2013, ross Nissan claimed there was nothing wrong with the transmission and did not replace it, one month later I took it too valley hi Nissan in victorville and they told me that it should have been replaced by ross. The problem is as follows: The car when driven over long periods of time in traffic (1 hour or more), the transmission begins to whine, especially when climbing up hills. On over five occasions the car speed topped out at about 45-55 mph on the freeway and could not go faster on steep inclines. I would have to pull the car over to the slow lane as it would not accelerate past the 45-55 mph until the incline in the freeway leveled off. This has happened several times and each time it has happened, the Nissan dealer would evaluate it and state that the transmission was faulty. The transmission were replaced approximately around 45K, 77K, 109K, in doing the research the following bulletins seem to match the problem that I've been having ntb-13-079 and ntb-12-057 and the one mentioned by the dealer which I couldn't find on this website tsb-ntb10-143A. They all seem to indicate a problem with the fail safe for the cvt transmission fluid protector. I don't understand why Nissan will not replace this issue as it has happened on so many cars. Although my warranty had expired, the problem was never solved correctly. I don't take the car on the freeway, because I am in fear that I will be rammed by another vehicle as the car will not accelerate on occasions when the car is running too hot. The car/transmission is defective.
