When attempting to accelerate rapidly vehicle has long delay, even with pedal pressed all the way down, an intermittent delay at a full stop, when taking off vehicle has a 5 second delay, gurgling sound coming from transmission during idle, rpms rev way higher than they should when accelerating, jerking from transmission when at a slow acceleration through parking lots and such, delayed acceleration also caused me to almost have a wreck, pulled out into traffic at a slow roll because vehicle wouldn't go and then vehicle took off full speed
Delayed acceleration my 2017 Altima is experiencing a delay when accelerating from a stop. It won't rev or do anything for a couple of seconds no matter how far down the pedal is. Then all of a sudden it'll go. There is no check engine light and no codes. If I turn the car off, it's like it resets and has more power afterwards.
My vehicle produced a check engine light. I paid $1300 for a new mass flow sensor and modification to my air flow. Two days later, I drove out of town and the car lost power. RPM was jumping and car started jerking and wouldn't accelerate. Towed it to Nissan and they couldn't find a issue! obviously there is a issue because everyone I've know have a Nissan been having issues with their car and Nissan hasn't done nothing about it! I paid $1300 for a check engine light, what makes U think I'm going to pay $4000 for a new transmission. This my second Altima and same issue!
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped at a red traffic light, the vehicle stalled after the accelerator pedal was depressed. The check engine warning was light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to Nissan of mission hills (11000 sepulveda blvd, mission hills, ca 91345) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The sensor for the brake pads were replaced however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.
Cvt transmission is jerking, stalling, shuddering, and hesitating while driving. Car only has 65K miles. Issue has been happening randomly for about a week. I do not feel comfortable driving in the car anymore because I feel that this malfunction can eventually cause an accident.

The car doesnt go, it stutters, and then suddenly goes. Take a lot of time to change gear, in small hills doesn't go up, the RPM and speed just go down. The check engine light comes on and off. Nissan dealers says it it out of guarantee. A Nissan Altima 2017, 85K miles and its out of Nissan guarantee already, and that they cant do anything about it. Unbelievable. Saddly for me the care is already payed off, they have already all their money, so no need to fix my problem. Also when I bought the car, in a Nissan dealer, they gave a fake carfax of the car, they omit an crash report, also they advertised the car for a very much lower price than they sold it to me, they put a lot of fees on it that the price was 2K over than the advertised.
When I was driving my car and stopping at a traffic light and when I would start to drive again the car at times has a problem with acceleration and all of suddenly the check engine light came on I scanned the engine code and it showed a po 776 transmission pressure control solenoid B performance or stuck off the car would not move but when I turned it off after 10 minutes rest the car will start to drive again but with very slow acceleration and the RPM was very high when the car was only moving at 20 mph, my understanding is that this happens to a lot of the cars owners but these Nissan cars Nissan should fix the problems with the transmission they built know full well that these transmissions are no good, currently there's no recalls on the 2017 Nissan Altima sv with this issue I will never buy another Nissan again till they fix the transmission problems costing the customers money and not fixing the problems with their bad transmission that they know about shame on Nissan the trash vehicles of the century only good for a short time then it junk afterwards
My 2017 Altima had been jerking, almost felt like the transmission was slipping. This would occur at random acceleration causing the vehicle to stall for brief seconds before it would actually accelerate. On top of that vehicle has now started a loud wining sound that gets louder when trying to accelerate. The car will not move for several seconds and then gradually it will begin to take off. This happens at every stop or slow down made. My cruise control no longer works either. Several times in the past I had issues with the vehicle not wanting to shift out of first gear. Since then this is what has occured. At this point I can no longer drive the vehicle due to no acceleration and im afraid that I might cause an accident due to extremely slow if not any take off from any stop. I am very upset over this issue considering everything I have read up on all leads back to the cvt transmission problems from several other owners, and the fact that several recalls have been made due to this, but for some reason not the 2017 Altima? it is apparent to me that this year has also been affected. I am a single mother and can't afford another exspince at this time especially since I lost my job due to covid-19. Now I am unemployed and cant drive my car due to transmission problems that obviously seems to be a reaccuring problem for Nissan with the cvt transmissions.
The issue happened multiple times but seems to happen more, the longer the vehicle is running. The first time I was waiting in a parking lot with the air condition running. I was leaving the parking lot and the vehicle paused and lost accelertion power for a few seconds and started going. I though it was an issue with the air condition so I turned off the air condition to see if it would happen again. When I got to a stop light and started to accelerate it paused again then accelerated. The pause seems to be from 5 to 10 seconds before the car would move.the longer the car was running the more it happened. At this time the check engine light was not on. On shorter distances the problem would not start but on long distances or on acceleration, the pause would continue. Finally the check engine light came on and I went to auto zone to get the code checked. It was a P0776 code, "pressure control solenoid B performance or stuck off". I finally took it to the dealership to get the issue checked and they stated that the transmission would need to be replaced for $6000 on a 3 year old car with only 74000 miles. Problems 1. lost acceleration for a few seconds before the vehicle will accelerate again 2. completely lost acceleration and could not move and a hill. 3. lost acceleration on the freeway and barely made to the side to turn off the car. Seeing the issues for the Nissan Altima and the complaints about the transmission, Nissan needs to take responsibility for a transmission they know has problems and repair the issue. They updated the warranty up to 2016 but not the 2017 or 2018 models that still have issues, using the same transmission as the 2016 models. I will not be buying another Nissan again because of their knowledge of the issue and not correcting it.
Transmission started to slip in early 2019. Went to dealership immediately to be informed that the cvt transmission needed to be replaced. Dealership quoted us $5600 for the repair of a rebuilt. We looked at the error code and saw that all other years and models had already been recalled due to the exact same error. Nissan told us they would give us "assistance" at 60%, which still was over $1600 expense, for a car just 2 years old. The car was at the dealership for 3 weeks. When I picked up the vehicle, the check engine light came on again. Took it right back. Nissan informed me it was a faulty oxygen sensor. Cost another $800. We will never buy another Nissan again.
While driving at highway speed (75mph), my RPM's shot up. I let off the accelerator briefly and when I attempted to push the accelerator again, nothing happened. My car continued to slow down and I was almost hit from behind. I was able to pull off to the side of the highway. I had my car towed to a garage and they said the car had 4 error codes, all having to do with the transmission. I have had my car towed to the dealership as I am still covered under my 5 year/ 60000 mile warranty.
Vehicle started leaking oil. Check engine light came on. Took it to fucillo Nissan, where I purchased it, new. They kept vehicle over one month, returned it supposedly fixed. They had motor out, to fix a leak. Still leaking in my driveway. We are in our seventies and afraid of fire. Please help!!
Our transmission gave out on 41,982 miles, it is currently getting "rebuild" at Nissan. Tomorrow will make it a week since Nissan has our car and it still hasn't been worked on. We were told it's in rotation. Nissan warrenty sucks, they have us a $105 voucher that only covers 3 days. We live in nyc, there are no car rate for $35 a day, it is $65 a day including tax. Nissan wants to contact our extended warrenty tosee if they can cover a portion of the rental, which is ridiculous. It's their fault for making faulty transmission, I should pay the cost to rent a car.
Purchased new in 2017 noticed a serious oil leak a couple years later. Took back to dealer, they kept it for a month. Finally after engine in and out of car, that oil leak was silved. Not so still leaking. We are afraid of fire.we are in our seventies. Please help us.driveway shows oil leak.
For the past two weeks I noticed that my vehicle started loosing power at highway speeds randomly. There were times I depressed the accelerator and a significant delay took place with the car speeding up. Yesterday 10/09/2020 while driving home from work it happened again. The car failed to accelerate at highway speeds and began skipping between gears. After getting off my exit for home, I came to a complete stop and waited for the light to turn green. I depressed the accelerator and nothing happened for about 5 seconds. The car finally drove forward and I slowly drove the remaining 4 miles home with my hazard lights on. I made an appointment with the grainger Nissan dealer in garden city, Georgia for today at 9:00 am. I explained the situation to them and was informed that it would take a few days to diagnose the problem. A couple hours later I got a call from the advisor stating that my cars transmission needed to be replaced for $3800. I asked if this was a common issue with Nissan Altima's that have 90K miles on them. He stated that there are some vehicles that have been identified with this issue by the manufacturer and others are not covered by any warranty. He stated that during production they labeled some vehicles by the VIN number with the issue and would repair those vehicles at no cost to owner. However my vehicle did not receive that label. My concern is if they are aware of the failure with their transmission how do they determine which cars they will fix and which ones they will not. What are the criteria to meet eligibility for repair their defective product?
My 2017 Altima is experiencing a sporadic delay when accelerating from a stop. It won't rev or do anything for a couple of seconds no matter how far down the pedal is. Then all of a sudden it'll go. I've almost died multiple times now because of this, this is going to cost someone their life! I've now brought it to the dealer where I bought it twice for their review and each time they've claimed they can't find a problem. This seems to be a widespread issue: Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T63248_ds999189
I am an owner of a 2017 Nissan Altima. Within two weeks my transmission tends to jump, jerk, while accelerating. The check engine comes on. According to auto zone, it's a P0776 code. I spent $152 for taking it to be checked out at a dealership. I was told that the transmission is slipping. I reached out to someone at Nissan dealer, when I was informed that there is no difference between the 2016 2016 transmission and the 2017 transmission. On my way home from the dealership, my transmission slipped again. Prior to all this, I had no issues or complaint. Currently, my vehicle has 72,475 miles on it.
My transmission is slipping at 50K miles. I'm experiencing hesitation and jerking while driving. Today I had to pull off to the side of the highway because I was so scared that my car going to shut off while driving. I stop at a red light and my car stall & wouldn't move for a few seconds. I had to put my emergency blinker on. I'm so scared of driving this vehicle because if my car stop while driving and someone hit me from behind, I might end up dead.
