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.

While driving our 13 Nissan Altima South on hwy 218/27 suddenly the car was stalling and lunging and we lost all power while driving in 4 lane traffic on May 13, 2019. While trying to depress the accelerator there was nothing we could not accelerate or anything. This was extremely dangerous situation as we were trying to cross on coming traffic the vehicle would lunge or not accelerate at all. We could have easily caused a collision due to the lunging and stalling of the transmission. We took our vehicle to authorized Nissan dealer deery brothers in West burlington, ia and was diagnosed as needing the transmission replaced. This replacement will cost $4,500. Our Altima has 85,000 miles. I believe this vehicle has Nissan cvt that has malfunctioned is various other Nissan models. Hopefully this situation will be remedied by a recall.

- Hawthorne, FL, USA

The vehicle has around 57,500 miles, was bought certified pre-owned at a Nissan dealership in 2016, and has only been serviced by a Nissan dealership since purchase. The vehicle failed to properly accelerate after a stoplight. The vehicle was stopped at this light and could only accelerate to about 12 mph afterwards regardless of how hard I pushed the gas pedal. I tried stopping and shifting to park then back to drive, yet the problem persisted. This is incredibly dangerous as it happened without warning. No lights came on and no alerts populated on my dashboard screen. This has happened multiple times before, and it seems to be a common problem among Altima owners. This seems to result from a defective continuously variable transmission (cvt), and the failure to properly accelerate will eventually lead to complete transmission failure. Hopefully, this will not happen when I am on a busy road or interstate as this is immensely dangerous and possibly fatal.

My Nissan Altima 2013 died in the parking lot of a highway rest area. The Nissan mechanist later reported the cvt got mechanical problem and has to be replaced.

- Elmhurst, NY, USA

Transmission fail. My 2013 Nissan Altima started shuddering at acceleration for few days then suddenly started to hesitate and go into limp mode. The car would not move when pressing the pedal or in reverse. This has caused a safety hazard in the middle of the highway when the car suddenly lost its power to move as if it's in coma. Two mechanic shops said the cvt transmission system needs replacement. Costs 3500$. cannot afford it of course and the car itself now is not worth this amount.

I have a 2013 Nissan Altima and my transmisson has started slipping, I have 100,000 miles on my car and have stayed on top of my mantince. Out of nowhere I get in my car and started driving it and it started jerking, shifting gears slowly and vibrating. I have had transmission flushes during my maintance check-ups. I took it for a diagnostic check and was told it was my sensors going bad. I get that fix to find out I need a transmission and to find out nissian are known for transmission problems. I am very unhappy about this due to how well I have taken care of my car. I contacted Nissan to ask about transmission recalls and was told no.

When I start my car and shift the gear from N (neutral) to D (drive), and then press the accelerator, the engine stops. My car stopped in the city signal and I was shocked. I turned on the emergency indicator immediately and somehow managed to accelerate and move the car to a safe place. Also when driving I am seeing fluctuation in acceleration. When at rest in signals, my car engine makes vibrations. I have driven my car only for 53000 miles but I am out of warranty by 4 months. I have clean carfax history. I have good driving record. I have done all the recommended services. Still I get this problem. The multi inspection check they do during every service is superficial at best. Its free of charge for a reason. I am not sure why Nissan doesn't admit this issue and fix this free of charge for customers. This has been a recurring issue with Nissan Altima 2013 and I am surprised there is no recall issued by Nissan.
