I bought a 2013 Nissan Altima in 2017. 4 months after the purchase with only 65,000 miles the car stalled in the middle of the highway with my children in it. I was able to get it restarted and the next day while working the transmission gave out in the middle of a parking lot. The cvt transmission was replaced at the Nissan dealership. Now 65,000 miles later the new cvt transmission died while I had a youth client in my car for work. This is extremely unsafe for a transmission to fail at the drop of a hat in the middle of the road. There is currently a class action suit against Nissan due to this issue. This is effecting my work and is not a reliable car. This needs to be recalled. Also the air compressor is an issue as well. This also needs recalled. There are hundreds of people who are experiencing these issues. What if the car would stop in the middle of a road and someone would hit me while I am with my children or a client? this needs to be looked into please. Because Nissan is refusing to help me at all for this second transmission that is only 2 years old!!!!

2013 Nissan Altima defective cvt. Purchased a used 2013 Nissan Altima with 62K miles on it and quickly realized I had bought a car with a failing transmission. It has been established that the transmission could fail in a manner that could cause an accident. The current symptoms are poor acceleration followed by a surge in acceleration, shuddering, etc. I have had the cvt fluid changed and reprogrammed twice and the issue still remains. Until I can have the transmission replaced I risk the vehicle suddenly de-accelerating on the road without brake lights causing an accident.

When I make a stop and then I leave the transmission fails and the car is very slow but the RPM goes up very high

- Rockville, MD, USA

The 2nd time in less than 2 years that the cvt valve went out making the vehicle suddenly jerk forward and backwards even with the brakes on and then suddenly lose power. Wethis is a hazardous situation as my car had to be towed yesterday after suddenly stopping at a busy intersection. Last time it happened on a busy bridge. This is a known problem with the 2013 Altima but unfortunately I've just become aware of this. People could die.

My car was driving perfectly fine in the morning. Car started fine later in the afternoon. It started jerking and not accelerating smoothly as I pulled out to the street. Then it stalled at the street. Restarted the car and everything seemed normal until I put it in gear. After only a few feet it stalled again. It now stalls in any gear besides park and neutral. Had to push the car off the road and have it towed. Another bad cvt transmission. Nissan should be ashamed. Selling these cars with major mechanical failure and poor warranty. Had to extended warranty on previous model years because of failures. Should be a recall. This is happening to to many people. Last Nissan I will own.

After driving on the highway for 35-40 minutes my car won't accelerate when I have the gas pedal all the way to the floor and my sped starts dropping even when cruse control is set.

Shift solenoid has small metal plate that bends over time and loses contact the shifter. This makes car impossible to shift from park without depressing the shift lock using a small flat head screwdriver. After discovering fix, I dismantled the shifter and bent the solenoid plate back to the original position but a few months later, the metal plate has bent again. This small metal plate seems quite thin and flimsy. Search the web, lots of people have had this issue occur to their Altima.

After driving at highway speeds for 25/30 minutes and stopping the car won't accelerate with the gas pedal pushed all the way for 10 to 15 seconds. On 6/20/2019 I stopped at a light, the car wouldn't accelerate and then started jerking in a manner that seemed as if the car was in the wrong gear. After this happened the check engine light came on. The code reads as a faulty solenoid in the transmission.after taking it to a Nissan dealer I was told I need a new transmission. This problem is similar to a recall that was issued in 2017 with the gas pedal and transmission acting messed up. If I stop the car and turn it off then immediately back on the problem disappears. Thus is a safety hazard because I can't always restart the car in a safe location but if I don't I could cause an accident when my car won't accelerate properly. Because of the similarities to the last recall and the fact that the problem is not consistent I believe this is a problem with the computer.

Vehicle stopped at stop light and stalled. Restarted vehicle and put into drive and stalled again. Did this 6 times. Contacted towing service and towed a block away to a service station. They told me that I needed to go to a Nissan dealer, then had vehicle towed to matt castrucci Nissan. Where the vehicle is currently located. The service tech. Stated the transmission needs to be replaced along with the battery. The vehicle has 88,000 miles and have read that Nissan extended warranty to 120,000, but that may vehicle is not included in this. Why not? they stated that the VIN # was not included in the extended warranty. That makes no sense, should include all 2013 Nissan regardless of VIN#. the vehicle is registered under my wife's name.

The problem started a few months ago with an occasional shuddering of the car and surging of rpms. This typically happened when I accelerated over 60 mph, but also happened seemingly randomly when maintaining speed. Over the last 3 weeks, the shuddering became more violent, more frequent, and less related to accelerating, just happening generally when driving 45+ mph. One week ago, I was driving home from a work trip and the check engine light came on, the car became extremely loud when driving, and I was having trouble accelerating (5/30/2019). The code was P0841, transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch. After reading about the code online, I was hopeful that the repair would be minimal, maybe just draining and refilling tranny fluid or replacing the sensor/switch on the transmission. However, within 2 days I realized the car was undrivable and immediately took it to the transmission shop. The owner looked up Altima recalls and lawsuits, thought my car was covered by the extended warranty (unfortunately, my newer 2013 model was not), and did not touch it. On my drive to the Nissan dealer, I could barely accelerate, could not keep speed, the entire car was shaking violently, and the noise was extremely loud ' which was very dangerous to myself and other drivers on the road. Given the diagnosis of near complete failure, I am fortunate it did not fail while driving. I brought it to the dealer for an official diagnosis, in order to have it in Nissan's system as backup for a formal complaint/class action lawsuit. After receiving an outrageous quote for a replacement transmission, I had the car towed back to the transmission shop for rebuilding (6/10/2019). The car is 6 years old, had a single previous owner, has lived in a garage, and has been well maintained.

5 days ago while driving on a freeway during rush hour my car started stuttering while driving. When I pressed on the accelerator after coming to a stop, the car jerked and stalled while in traffic. When 5 miles from home I was stopped at a red light the car engine died. After restarting my car when I put my car into gear the engine would die. While in the left lane I sat there trying to get my car to go into gear without the engine dying. Two guys helped to move it off of the road and I had to have it towed home. It's now at the dealership's service center.
