Moments car will not accelerate after stepping on gas pedal till one completely steps on it all the way down after coming to a stop. Car will roll first then jerk to accelerate after pressing gas pedal down fully. Notice the issue happens when car gets too hot from frequent stops. Had transmission flushed and it solved the issue for a bit but began again recently.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving 72 MPH, an unknown warning light illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle.

An independent mechanic arrived at the residence and diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall for the transmission failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.

My teenage daughter drives this car daily and last week upon traveling to work on the highway the RPMs jumped and her car lost acceleration and she wasn-€™t able to pick the speed back up. She was losing power. The car was shuddering when she was accelerating and taking off and it was jerking with gear shifting. She was almost slammed into from behind when this happened. Dealership is telling us we need a new transmission. We purchased the car in 2016 and Jan 2017 we had the transmission computer module reprogrammed at the dealership, per Nissan recommendation.

Car was misfiring for a while. Got spark plugs and coils changed. Two days after they were changed car still kept misfiring and jerking and wouldn-€™t change from the first gear and takes a minute to accelerate after a complete stop. Has white smoke coming from the muffler. Two days ago it stalled to start and would not drive or reverse. Dash board keeps saying system malfunction and LDW (lane departure warning) and BSW (blindspot warning) and check engine light stays on.

While driving on the highway at a speed around 65 mph, the traffic suddely stopped ahead, so hard braking was performed and the car came to a complete stop, and afterwards the vehicle didn't respond to any gas pedal input for few seconds. I took the vehicle to my local Nissan dealership for check up, but they claim the vehicle drives normal. Knowing that this generation of Nissan Altimas has defective transmissions and a class action lawsuit was settled with an extension of transmission warranty for 2 years or 24,000 miles. Thank you

I was in turning lane and when traffic cleared enough to turn I pushed gas, and nothing happened it was just idle, no rpm, no movement let go of gas pushed again barely moved and then didn-€™t go anywhere. Oncoming traffic at that point was approaching then it engaged and was fine! It did it two more times as I was sitting at light and once while just driving

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle intermittently hesitated to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that an unknown warning light illuminated once when the failure occurred. The contact also stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed to the floorboard for the vehicle to respond, causing the vehicle to accelerate at an unsafe, high rate of speed. The vehicle was taken back to the place of purchase but the contact was then referred to another independent mechanic for assistance. The independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with a defect within the transmission and referred the contact to an authorized Nissan dealer to ensure that the repair would be covered under warranty. The contact had taken the vehicle to state line Nissan (10401 madison ave, Kansas City, mo 64114) where they were unable to diagnose the vehicle and refused to service it under warranty. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 63,148.

My 2015 Nissan Altima's transmission just went out at a mere 95,000 miles. I just had all the tires and brakes repaired ready to go for inspection and the transmission randomly failed while making a delivery for uber eats. The vehicle just started stalling out after stopping and got worse from there. No warning lights or anything it just won't switch gears. I turned on my hazard lights and went home and it wouldn't go above 50, I'm lucky I even made it home. There was a recall for the cvt transmission I had looked at 3 years ago after something similar happened and I saw a class action lawsuit related to this but now I am out the repairs on the brakes and tires and stuck without a vehicle and I rely on uber eats. I think I got sold a lemon. Ever car me or everyone I know had went until easily 200-250K miles before the transmission went on older vehicles; now a "newer" vehicle goes out under 100K? that's why there's a class action lawsuit out for this and I really wish I could have gotten in on it because now I'm out the cost of repairs, I can't do my job without a car, and I'm stuck with the bill for a car that doesn't work so I'm just out that money.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that whenever the vehicle was at a complete stop, there would be a delay to accelerate with the transmission light illuminated. The contact had to turn off and restart the vehicle to fix the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with diagnostic trouble code: P0776 (pressure control solenoid B performance or stuck off) however, the vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 116,000.

Transmission failure not covered under recall because it is over 84,000 miles

Driving down the US23/119 interstate near pikeville, ky the vehicle suddenly started decelerating from 60 mph and would no longer allow acceleration. The vehicle speed kept decreasing until it was going less than 20 mph and th driver had to pull off to the side of the road. After a tow to the Nissan dealership, the problem was diagnosed to be a faulty transmission. The danger was it occurred so suddenly while driving on the interstate with no warning and vehicles easily could have collided with our vehicle. Upon learning of the repair needed I searched for other similar issues with the Nissan Altima. I found there was a class action lawsuit settlement for 2013-16 vehicles due to faulty transmission. The suit settled with an extension of the warranty by 24 months or 24,000 miles. However, this resolution, in my opinion, is not sufficient to protect the consumers from paying often in excess of $3000 for a repair and the risk of life while driving a known faulty product. Nissan should be required to increase the warranty period to be more tied to the life of a transmission and protect consumers of potential injuries due to their known faulty product.

My 2015 Nissan Altima began stalling when I engaged the accelerator pedal. It stalled and eventually sounded as if it were struggling to shift gears began moving forward. While driving 55 mph, I was forced to abruptly engage the brake pedal to avoid crashing into another vehicle; however, when I applied the accelerator pedal the vehicle strained to move forward and accelerate but within a few minutes I was able to drive the normal speed. The vehicle does hesitate every time I drive it.
