Nissan Altima

2016 Nissan Altima 40k miles, already has transmission failure. Started with slow accelerator response. Then restricted to what felt like first gear with top speed of 49 mph. It would start shuttering at 50 mph. Works great if you shift to neutral and coast downhill. Reverse still works fine. We looked at the resale value. It was terrible. Now we know why. We paid $28k. Now it is worth $10k 2 years later. We had a 2002 Nissan Maxima needed 2 transmissions and a new engine inside 120k. All maintenance completed by dealer. Thought it was a fluke. Apparently not. Absolutely no Nissans ever again.

The inside panel on the door and all the way across the dash has a huge crack. Whatever you do don’t buy a Nissan product. This is also a problem with Infiniti (a friend had his replaced 3 times). Nissan has been sued in Florida in a class action suit for this matter. My car (Altima 2007) is never in the sun because I only drive it in the winter. It only has 60,000 miles. There is a class action suit being started in Texas for consumers.

I have been a Nissan owner for 10+years, and have never had a problem until recently. My 2012 Altima began paint chipping out of nowhere, creating very large spots of peeled off paint on the hood of my car. The local store would not do anything for me unless I had it sent out. I proceeded to find a body shop of my own. I googled and found similar complaints on many Nissan vehicles as well. It cost me over $500 for a new paint job on just the hood of my car. NO reason for this outside of poor paint. My vehicle remains in a garage on a daily basis and I do not drive down roads that would be of heavy gravel to nick up my car this way. Very disappointed.

2011 Nissan Altima - Started our a year ago losing power the further I drove it. The speed would drop from approx 70 mph to 55 on the interstate. This caused several near wrecks on the interstate. I would pull over & wait 10 minutes and the car would drive fine for another 45 min. Then it started progressing to shorter distances & inclines. I changed the battery, plugs, wires, AF sensor, filter, oil, coolant, alternator, etc. No relief. Recently, after driving for about 45 minutes, the car started revving up the RPMs while on the interstate to the red line. This would last about 5 min, then lose power. Then it would drop below 50 and continually lose speed till I stop. It would whine on the interstate. I could pull over for 5-10 minutes and restart to get power to finish my commute.

On 2010 I bought a new Nissan Altima 2009. After 4 years of use the car began with problems, Main problem was the ESCL unit, It locked the car after I turned off, and couldn't turn on. I took the car to the Nissan dealer where I bought the car, they stated that because of this issue the Nissan Corp extended the warranty of a car. They stated that this is due a manufacturing irregularity (a defective piece). The Nissan dealer replaced the piece, Nissan stated that this piece never should fail. 4 years later the same piece failed again. I took the car to a different auto mechanic, they called Nissan, and they stated that is not anymore under warranty. (For a Nissan piece that should never fail). It looks like they replace the defective piece that should never fail with another piece that was also defective, and needs to replace each four years.

I needed a new car recently and my old car was a 98 Maxima so I wanted another one but the prices are kind of high so I decided to go with the Altima but I wanted the six cylinder so I checked out the SR model. It looks great and it has power and it holds tight to the road. I didn't want the leather and all the bells and whistles. I just wanted power windows seats and locks and so far I'm impressed with it. I got it for less than 24,000 out the door year end sale so out with the old so the new stock can come in but you get a nice price. I've only put a couple of thousand miles on but if it's as good as my Maxima is then I'll be really happy.

back to dealer. Now I have oil slick from crankcase. Blowing fan making noises and I own new Nissan Altima 2014. Only 29100 miles on it. My last Nissan vehicle being honest.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA - Out of service for 14 days in July 2013 at 18,243 miles to replace the CVT! Out of service 1 day to replace the alternator in November 2017 at 48,000 miles and at that updated the ECM to correct code P052B. Out of service 23 days to diagnose & repair code P052B on December 19, 2017. 4 days after being supposedly fixed the P052B code returned and now has been back at the shop an additional 8 days with no end in sight.

Bought the 2009 Altima with 85,000 in late 2014 for my daughter. Not even a month the transmission starts to fail on the freeway because of transmission heating issues, fortunately I was with her and we got off safely as it would not go faster than 40 MPH. We found out it was covered under their extended 120,000, 10 year warranty because of the number of similar failures. So we got a brand new transmission from the factory that totally failed again 2 years later on the freeway leaving her stranded on the side of the freeway.

Well pretty much the same thing. Bought new Nissan Altima in 2013. My daughter was almost in tears clucking up the driveway. Said she was almost in a accident because something is wrong with her car. Just told by dealership that our transmission has failed! Really! Not even 90000 miles! And just made last payment. Congratulations Nissan! Looks like you’re losing customers for not admitting and correcting this problem. I was always a Nissan guy. Not anymore. Sadly.

I bought a 2013 a year ago and I hit 70,200 miles this morning and my transmission blew. I called a mechanic and when I told him my Nissan Altima transmission blew HE ASKED ME IF I HAD JUST HIT 70,000 miles! I should not have to pay for a new transmission. This is unacceptable and common among the mechanics I have spoke with, however Nissan will only repair if it's a 2010 or older. About a month ago I took it in for a transmission crankshaft portion sensor recall. I was so happy with Nissan and thought I would be a lifetime owner. Now I just hope I can get rid of this one and forget about Nissan altogether. Thanks for a wonderful 3500 expense at Christmas.

Having multiple problems. Replace camshaft and crankshaft sensors. There is recalls on 2003s for this serious issue but not my VIN. Bad Catholic System. There are recalls for the serious issue but not my VIN. Replace still having issues and now rattling. Burning oil Not leaking. There is recalls for this issues but not my VIN. They are not standing behind their product that I spent over 21K on now is turning out to be worthless and with very serious safety issues.

I have the car and I keep it in perfect condition most of the time but my car dash start melting and contact Nissan and the only thing want pay 50% of the cost. This manufacture mistake not mine and the car almost new except dash melting.

For several times I have requested Nissan North America to assist me with my Nissan 2012 Altima CVT transmission replacement and a copy of my case file from Nissan consumer affairs. Case # **. My 2012 Nissan Altima VIN: **. Since when my car had 31,000 miles I explained Nissan that my car had problems with my transmission, no acceleration and winning as many other unhappy Nissan owners with CVT transmission, they told me "don't worry is normal." At that time I believe that.

I purchased my 2016 Nissan Altima SV brand new from Nissan of St. Charles, Illinois. One month after my purchase the radio completely died and needed to be replaced. It took Nissan one month to send a new unit to the dealership. Meanwhile, I had to drive a Nissan Versa (basically a golf cart) until my vehicle was repaired. At 50,000 miles the transmission started to have trouble up shifting. I took it to the dealership to be diagnosed and no codes appeared. This meant “nothing” could be done to address the issue.

Transmission failed at 140,000 miles. Drive a lot of highway miles, am very disappointed in Nissan (2015 Altima), up to this point, really enjoyed the car. Now I am looking at a $3800 bill for a car that is less than 3 years old. Will never buy another Nissan.

I had recently opened a case with Nissan Corp in Franklin, TN regarding my failed transmission. I requested Goodwill Assistance on a transmission since a transmission is not supposed to fail at only 79k miles. A case specialist reached out to me today to let me know that Nissan has decided to do nothing regarding this issue. I then called Nissan Consumer Affairs and was told that because I don't have enough vehicle history at a dealership, they wouldn't assist even though my car is less than 20k over the warranty.

I had purchased a 2013 Nissan Altima 3 years ago. It has approximately 75000 miles. Was just informed that there is some kind of recall on CVT programming for this transmission. My transmission is now shot and need to be replaced. The majority of consumers who purchased the 2013 Nissan Altima around the same mileage are having the same problem with the CVT transmission needing to be replaced. Nissan extended the warranty on Nissan Altima years 2003-2010 but won't do the same for the newer models. This is unacceptable.

I own a 2009 Nissan Altima. We have noticed in the past year if we go on a long trip driving over 60 mph it starts to make a whining noise. After driving over an hour the car starts to lose power. You will notice it more going up inclines. We had the Altima floored on flat road and the fastest it would go is 80 mph. We had it floored going up an incline and the fastest it would go is 50 mph.

2005 Altima SE v6, 100,00 miles warranty - Loved the car! However, Nissan, the company, is horrible and dirty. At 80,000 miles transmission failure. Yes! And they knew about the transmission problem before they marketed their product, now millions of us are left hanging. Never ever again will I buy another Nissan product! Never even heard of any results of the class action suit which started in 2011. I guess the attorneys made all the money.

I have a 2015 Nissan Altima that had 7 miles when I got it. I've had the car 2 1/2 years and the transmission has gone out. I had to get it towed to the dealership and they are telling me now that I'm 3,000 miles over the expiration of the warranty it ended at 60,000 miles. Now my car is sitting there not to mention the $120 I have to pay for the diagnostic fee. They want me to pay $4400 to get it fixed. I don't know what to do because I can't trade it in and I have no help.

My 2012 Altima 3.5 has large amounts of paint just coming off the hood. Took this to various paint shops that said this is a Nissan problem and they did not apply the paint properly or they did not prime it properly. Now I have large patches of paint that keep flaking off. The Car looks terrible and Nissan will not do anything about it. Was told by the paint shop that it will only get worse.

I have a 2008 Nissan Altima and Nissan did not do a recall. They just extended the warranty on a problem they have been having with their CVT Transmissions! The warranty is now 120,000 miles and I have 120,700. Looks like they did find out how long it takes for them to fail so that is why they go out of warranty at 120,000 miles. They have not fixed this issue and expect me to pay over $4000.00 to have them fix it.

I purchased a brand new 2017 Nissan Altima SR on 6/26/2017. On 7/10/17 my car would not start, turn or anything. I had to call Roadside assistance and have it towed. My car was towed to the dealership I purchased from and 4 days later it's still there WITHOUT a diagnosis. I absolutely love my car but I can't figure out how you purchase a car with 3 miles and 9 days later it will not start. I wouldn't dare say don't purchase a Nissan but I will say choose wisely.

I have a 2008 Altima that I bought late 2012. Not even 6 months after I bought it the transmission went out on it. I was barely under warranty with the mileage, but Nissan replaced it with no problem in early 2013. I began experiencing transmission problems again recently. I knew the warranty was out, but I wanted to have Nissan check to be sure it was the transmission. I was told that when my transmission was replaced in 2013 the technician should have replaced the external cooler. He explained that since it wasn't replaced it is now causing the fluid to get too hot. At this point I am completely understanding that the technician at the same did not do everything that he was suppose to while replacing the transmission. When I was told that there was nothing that they could do I was offered the customer support number. I called and opened a case with Nissan.

I bought a used 2013 Nissan Altima with 16,000 miles on it about 2 years ago. I had read about the complaints regarding the CVT transmission but disregarded them because what I believed that what is seen on these sites are the complaints about a product which doesn't necessarily give balanced information about the reliability and desirability of the product. Do I ever regret ever buying what was my first and what will be my last Nissan product. I was away on business when my transmission failed on my way to a meeting. The transmission failed without warning, none at all. The motor stopped and I restarted it and put the transmission in gear and the car would just shut off. I had the car towed to the local Nissan dealer who told me, a few days later, that my transmission was trashed.

I purchased a 2009 Nissan Altima years back and was initially happy with it. At 54000 miles the CVT transmission blew and the dealership said it needed to be replaced. Okay, fine. The dealership replaced it with no cost to me and I assumed I was done with that headache. Well unfortunately I was wrong. Fast forward to recently on the highway. To make a long story short, the transmission blew again at 147000. So I know that Nissan has had campaigns on the CVT transmissions and extended the warranty to 120000 miles. After talking with customer service it seemed as though they were going to make right knowing the transmission only really had around 93000 miles on it. Got the call back that they reviewed my case and it was denied. Zero concern for my situation. No offer to pay for parts and I pay for labor. Nothing. Continuously shot me down on all my points.

After driving a car on highway for more than half an hour, my car will make winding noise when I try to speed up. The rpm move up, but the car stay at 65 MPH. I have to stop a car for rest before it can go. If I continue to drive, my car will slow down to stop.

I bought a 2013 Nissan Altima from a car dealership and at the time bought what I thought was; a "bumper to bumper" policy. Last week my car got stuck in park, researched the internet to fix (band aid) the problem. Learned that this is a common problem. Took my car to a Nissan dealer today and learned that the warranty bought from JMA Group does not cover this problem. HOW CAN THAT BE?? The dealer gave me a price of $797 to fix the problem. So today I've called Nissan corp to talk to someone about getting this fixed. I was given a claim # and was told that someone will cb me tomorrow.

I purchased a 2014 Nissan Altima in August of 2016. 10 months later I'm having problems with the CVT Transmission. I would have to pay since my car is 3,000 miles over the warranty that they offer. I really think Nissan need to be held accountable for their cars since so many people are having problems with their vehicle. Can anyone tell me what I can do to get this problem solve? I do not have $4,000 to pay to get a transmission since I'm still paying a car note every month too.
