Vehicle has a current defected transmission that Nissan is aware off and fixed vehicles within a certain warranty period. Customers should have received letter making them aware of the defected transmission, I explained to Nissan I never received a letter. I am assuming this happened because I purchased the vehicle used, the person I spoke to from Nissan said unfortunately this happens. Nissan should be required to fix the vehicle as they failed to notify me of the defected transmission.

Please see this other report I filled out: 11526603. Thus far have paid about $1100 to get new, steering fluid, repair brakes, get a new battery, transmission fluid, and fuel injection service. They said this would fix the problem. The problem was not fixed. I took the car back again and they kept it several hours. Their higher level mechanic still couldn-??t figure out a problem. Now, the car has a new weird noise. When I drove it this morning, it sounded like there was a motorcycle driving nearby, yet I couldn-??t see one. Then I figured out, it was my own engine, making some extra noise. I-??m going to try to get into a different mechanic tomorrow. God help me. So now two problems: steering and engine. I hope the car will make it to the mechanic.

Exhaust manifold leak

- Summerville, SC, USA

My 2015 Nissan Altima, I've had it (7 years), started stopping without warning. Last week, I've had the valve cover replaced, because it was oil coming through one of the chambers of my spark plugs, I got a new battery, & I got the oil changed to make sure that everything was flowing correctly and running clean. Then it happened again. I put my car in park, I turned it off, and started again. There were no warning lights or codes that came across the dashboard. It was more frustrating because there's no warning no preparation it just does it so I did a system diagnostic ( Hitting the push to start button 5 times then hitting the door Button on the inside of the door jam 10 times then hitting the push to start button 3 times and the car will test all of the systems). My car was not running hot, there are no warning lights, you don't know when it's happening it feels like it's pulling or struggling with torque, and then before you know it you've come to a complete stop. It happened in the middle of an intersection. Multiple codes are hiding in the system, with no indications on the dash. The code discovered by my local mechanic was P7F1 (transmission code). This is based Tech Bulletin #NTB15083A. Hundreds of owners of Nissans have indicated the same issues with no resolve from Nissan or their local dealerships This is dangerous

At less than 68,000 miles, the timing chain started to fail. There were oil leaks reported over 6,000 miles before but dealer said it was due to the oil change, but we now know it was the valve cover gasket. Losing power due to engine failure would be unsafe given power steering gone etc...

I'm having the same problem with this Nissan Altima 2015 that I had with my Nissan Altima 2010 where it was a recall on the CVT. There are times when I'm pressing the gas, and the car will not and I have to pull over, turn the car off, and turn it back on. When I'm at a stoplight, and I press the gas it will not accelerate with my foot all the way down on the gas. The car will then jerk, and take off really fast. There have been several times when I have almost had accidents.

- Ralph, AL, USA

For the last few days my car has been hesitant to accelerate. At low speed acceleration it jerks a few times then the rpms go way high and is slow to shift & accelerate. It is automatic. This problem has been gradually increasing over past 2 years. I did take it to a dealership when the hood latch was replaced due to recall this year and they just suggested I drain/replace the transmission fluid in hopes that it fixes the acceleration issues. They already knew when I went into the dealership that it wasn't in warranty anymore and because I couldn't afford to fully fix the problem they just brushed me off. This isn't a safe car anymore to drive. I have 2 children and this is our primary vehicle. I just know whatever this issue with the transmission and power train stuff is not safe and it's only a matter of time until something major brakes down, I just hope it does not clunk out on us to where we wreck. These power train/transmission issues have started affecting the cruise control, air flow of the car, and possibly affecting the sensors which then could be another ordeal with electrical issues. NISSAN WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TRANNY/POWER TRAIN > EXTEND THE WARRANTY OR FIND AND FIX THIS ISSUE I bought the car in 2018 with less than 20,000 miles and have done regular maintenance, new tires every year, oils changes, replacing air filters and wipers, replacing brake pads, ive had to replace the brake booster already and flushed the whole brake system because of this acceleration issue I figured the brakes causing the lag but this car is just falling apart these past 2 years, rust on the trunk near the silver trim has caused the trunk to open on its own and the back-up camera feels like its slowly going out, the headlights are too dim to drive at night(even the brights now are dim), the rear passenger window just dropped down one day off the roller and I can't get the window back up and stay on the roller. Problem after Problem. Safety concern after safety concern.

My transmission has went on my car. I-€™ve only had my car for 3 years. The car isn-€™t that old..while driving on the highway my car stopped and would not shift gears.I took my car to Nissan they claimed to fix the problem but my car stopped on me once Again while driving. The dealership fixed sensors in the engine. After the problem was not fixed the said it was my transmission. This is a safety issue and could have caused a accident. Other Nissan drivers are having this same issues..this is happening to multiple Nissans around the country. There should be a recall opened on the transmissions. Why should we the customers hav to pay for faulty transmissions.

Twice now when I have gone to pull out my car has died on me with no warning.The first time was in Aug,2021 the next was in Sep or Oct 202. I have also noticed that when I'm driving and not accelerating (like going down a hill) then start accelerating the car will sputter like if it's not getting gas. It is really scary when it has died on me pulling out I've almost got hit by other vehicles.

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

When I turn my car on and the whole time it is running there is a noise under the hood sounding. You can not hear it from inside but when you are outside you can most definitely hear it and tell the car is on due to the noise.I thought it may be a fan noise due to maybe leaving the ac on but even with it off and just turning on the car you can hear it. This car has never been in an accident to my knowledge or any fender benders at that. Also sometimes after sitting at a stop light or stop sign and it's my turn to go I put my foot on the gas (not hard) and it goes up to like 3/4 rpms and it takes a few seconds to drop down to regular RPM while driving

Well I bought my 2015 Altima a year ago and now it tries to over heated, the temperature gauge bounces back and forth, and when I put it in reverse it will move but after I throw it in drive I lose all power with acceleration the car on just no rev or anything

Car randomly stalls and stutters. Check engine light appears. Can clear code but the problem always comes back. Happens about once a month, sometimes days in a row.

Driving at 45 mph and the trans went out. Only 81K miles on the car

- Broadview, IL, USA

Car completely powered off while traveling traveling at 10mph. The engine and battery symbol appeared, car was able to come to a rolling stop. Placed in park and was able to restart with no issues. Ten minutes later, car is traveling 60mph and car powered off, console turned black, car powered on, powered off and then powered on while maintaining same speed. Third time occurred 5min later as I was trying to safely pull over. Was traveling under 20mph and car powered off, locking breaks and coming to a complete stop while locking steering wheel.

I have noticed that when pressing down on the the acceleration pedal there is sometimes an extended delay and the car does not move. It does not happen always, but I have read that alot people are having the same issues, and no one seems to know the cause. Personally, after putting the car in park, turning off and turning on the car seems to allow it to accelerate again. My specific experience with this happened twice in a two week span. I was stopped at a light with the brake pedal pressed down on a regular two way roadway. As the light turned green, I attempted to accelerate by pressing the gas pedal but the car would not move, and the rpms would just go up. This same experience happened another time as well. Please look into it as a possible recall for some programming on this cvt transmission, as this could be a very potentially bad risk, especially driving on the highway where losing the ability to accelerate can result in major accidents/deaths.

I was driving my daughter home from pre-K and had been in the car for 10 miles without a problem. I was stopped at a stop light at a very busy four -way intersection. The light turned green and the car would not move. I pushed the accelerator and the car didn't move. I was shocked. It was perfectly fine one minute and did not move the next minute. The car acted as if it were in neutral and it wouldn't go. After pressing a few times, the car started to go very slowly. I took some back roads stopping at different parking lots hoping to make it home. I had my car towed to the mechanic. The mechanic said that at 59,700 miles, my 2015 Nissan Altima's cvt transmission is non-functional & the diagnostic code is starting to show upl. I owe money on the loan and now I have to pay thousands of dollars to replace the transmission or start from scratch. No recalls. No help. What a disappointment.

The vehicle can be sitting still and when you press the gas pedal, nothing happens. The engine does not even rev up. It is as the engine is not even on. This also happens when vehicle is is motion and you press the gas pedal, nothing happens. This happens when vehicle is still, low speed or high speed. And diagnostics system check does not show the problem and the engine light does not come on or get any kind of reading. It happens frequently. Have to extreme caution when getting on the freeway and/or changing lanes in traffic.
