CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 Nissan Altima shows multiple problem trends, continuing the poor reputation of the 2013 Altima, prompting us to give it our "Beware of the Clunker" badge.
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the RPM decreased. Additionally, while driving the vehicle was shaking and shut-off with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was restarted and operated as designed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to fontana Nissan (16444 S. highland ave, fontana, ca 92336, (909) 574-2288) who diagnosed the vehicle and confirmed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehcile was not repaired due to having a salvage title. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the dealers were independently owned. The failure mileage was 74,000.
I was traveling on a major highway on January 25, 2021, when I had no acceleration. Despite attempting to accelerate, I had no power. The RPM needle was almost to the red zone. I was able to coast off of this highway, onto another highway. I shut the vehicle off, let it sit for a few minutes, and restarted it. I still had no foward gear. I had to have the vehicle towed to a local Nissan dealer (sansone, neptune, NJ). After an exhaustive battle between the dealer and Nissan North America, it was determined my transmission needed to be replaced, based on the computer codes. The cost is not covered by warranty - the extension covered up to 84K miles, my Altima has 101K. I was treated poorly by the dealership, and Nissan corporate. I never got notification about any recalls, apparently notices were sent to a former employment address - I retired from that place 3 years prior to purchasing the Altima in 2015. My records say its a 2015, yours indicate it's a 2014. The transmission is faulty, according to my research. Thankfully, as a police officer, I had the necessary skills to get off the roadway, despite almost being in a serious collision. This is an egregious safety issue, and Nissan's lack of concern is abhorrent. I cannot afford the $4400 price tag to replace this transmission, which was poorly manufactured. The dealership "fixed" the "computer update" to the transmission, as well as "lubing" and not replacing the the faulty hood latch. Notably, they allegedly drove the car throughout the day on Friday, January 29, before declaring that the transmission needed to be replaced. The fact that this transmission just quits, while driving 65 mph, is a death trap.
I was driving when my car started to jerk and a slip indicator light appears on the dashboard but I continued driving on city street. I got to a light about to turn and the car would not go forward but only roll back. It?S the cvt transmission car was lost power P0776 code was found

I was driving when my car started to jerk and a slip indicator light appears on the dashboard but I continued driving on city street. I got to a light about to turn and the car would not go forward but only roll back. It's the cvt transmission per two shops that received codes for the transmission. Also I see where Nissan has a lot of complaints about the cvt transmission is there vehicles. Even though my warranty is expired I have about 140,000 miles on my vehicle clearly it's something with the equipment.
The constant velocity transmission (cvt) died while driving at highway speed. This failure of the cvt is premature at less than service life of the vehicle. Cvt failures from research are quite to common to be an anomoly
Transmission 1st gear or 2 gear delays shift and shuts down. Soon as I pull off my engine or transmission does this loud grinding noise and stops moving
When I am idle at a red light and get ready to take off, I step on the gas and the RPM hand moves however, T he vehicle doesn't and then it suddenly jumps to take off. Many times I was almost rear ended because of the delay of the vehicle not moving and my foot is off the break. Drivers would assume I am going.

I brought a 2014 Altima from a dealership in 2018. I notice weeks after I purchased the car that it would not accelerate properly and even stall out while in motion on the highway or trying to accelerate at a traffic light. I had a new transmission put in. Now a little over a year later the same thing is happening again. The mechanic says that its the same problem due to a faulty transmission part(cvt) transmission. This should be recall due to numerous complaints I have seen and mostly the danger it is causing for Nissan customers. This is a hazardous and costly issue. Nissan should rectify this immediately
I can believe it, I'm on vacation in Florida and it's already went bad. I was driving my car nicely and suddenly lost a bit control of steering wheel so I stopped and checked wheels and when I looked underneath passenger rear wheel there is control arm cracked. Called and towed it to Nissan dealer spend so much money which I don't have on towing, hotel, lyft, called my hotel in clearwater to let them know, everything is screwed now, and they say here that Nissan won't fix it.
I purchased my 2014 Nissan Altima with only 6 miles on it in 2014. I only drove my car from school to home, as this was my work vehicle. I finished paying for my Nissan in November of 2019. My Nissan recently reached 90,000 miles and began to shut down in the middle of traffic. The engine began to jerk and it would not move it were placed in drive or reverse. Then at times when placed in drive the engine would shake and roar loudly, and shut off. My dad had to come and tow the car in twice due to it not shutting down on the interstate and in traffic. The Nissan would just stop accelerating and lose power. If it cranked back up at stop lights or stop signs it would accelerate so slowly that I would get caught under red lights or in the middle of on-coming traffic. It would slowly pick up speed with the accelerated pressed all the way to the floor, but there would be a burning smell that the car will give off and it sounds like the engine is in the wrong gear, while in drive.
June 2019, vehicle started to judder, shake and stalled out at red light. Put the car in park, restarted the vehicle, put it into drive and it stalled again. This happened 3 more times until I was able to drive. Approaching another set of lights, vehicle slowing down and the judder and shaking began, I did not come to a complete stop so the car did not stall. I was able to drive home. I then let the car sit for 2 days before I drove it again and when I test drove it after those 2 days, the car seemed to be better, it did not stall out. It did shake a little and judder. No problems like that occurred until 3/9/2020. Approaching a red light, car judders, started shaking and stalled out. I then put the car into park, restarted, from park to drive, it stalled. I repeated this process for 5 minutes. I had to get out of the car and physically push the car off to the side of the road. 3/10/2020 drove the car to the dealership. Same thing happened in the vehicle on my way there. Juddering, shaking and stalling. I was able to slow down and make sure I did not let the vehicle come to a complete stop because it would stall out. I went on the highway because that was the easiest route. The entire time the car was shaking and I was going 60mph, which was 5mph under speed limit. Parked the car at the dealership. Explained to the technicians what was wrong, one of the technicians took my vehicle from where I parked and brought it into the garage. He confirmed my car was juddering, shaking and stalled. They notified me the car would not be able to be looked at possibly until 3/16. My car sat there for a few days, like it did back in 2019 when this first occurred. Upon further review of the diagnostics test, they were unable to duplicate the stalling, juddering and shaking. So they did not replace the cvt transmission instead they replaced the valve pipe
