Re: 2007 nissan altima - cvt transmission: i was on the pennsylvania turnpike and more than halfway to my destination, as i increased acceleration from 55 to 65 mph, the engine began straining and the tachometer increased to 3500 rpms. The automatic transmission would not auto shift. I backed off the accelerator and maintained a speed of 55 mph. Eventually, i arrived at my destination. On my return trip, the problem…

Takata recall i was driving in town & car started to do somewhat of a "jump/skip" when it was trying to shift gears one day.then it drove fine for a few days. Then a few days later as i was completing a left hand turn, car decides that it wasn't going to do anything! It wouldn't move & smoke started coming out from under hood. Thank goodness i coasted off to the side of the road. I had to have car towed.mechanic…

I've owned this vehicle for 2 1/2 years now and every time i drive home from los angeles my transmission has acted up. I don't work, so it's only driven there occasionally which has helped it last this long. Now the tranny is overheating and can't be driven uphill without it failing to get me home which is almost completely uphill for an hour. Even from bakersfield it is overheating now which it didn't do before and…

I had my vehicle maintained at the same dealership i bought it from since i first purchased the car and was never notified of the cvt transmission issues. Over the last few years i told them that the vehicle whined when i accelerated on the highway but they never recommended replacing the transmission under the 10 yr or 120,000 mile warranty. The transmission just failed at 136,000 miles and the manufacturer said…

I own a 2007 nissan altima with only 79k. The transmission went out of warranty by 6 months. I did some research and it looks like thousands of people have reported issues with the cvt transmission. All these transmissions were going out below 85k. I reach out to nissan for any assistance and they say "no we are sorry, after looking at your file you never complained previously to nissan with any transmission issue…

The vehicle is just past the 120k mile power train warranty period and the transmission/cvt began hard-shifting/clunking at around 40mph. Took it to a certified mechanic who diagnosed it as a failing cvt and requires replacement. Called nissan dealer and they said "yup, that happens." offered no guidance, their only solution is to replace the cvt for $6,000 (plus shop fees, taxes, etc.) i've talked to several altima…

While driving my 2007 nissan altima the rpm drops and the car loses power. The check engine light gives a code for the catalyst converter but the light goes on and off. Once the rpm drops and all of the lights on the dashboard start blinking, the car jerks and stall. I have to pull over and put the car in park for a few minutes. The car jerks again and drives normal for about 15 minutes and then it repeats itself.

Vehicle lacks sufficient ability to move forward following an emergency hard braking event (where the wheels lock up; i do not have abs). Once the car comes to a complete stop, it feels like it has no power to move forward, pressing the accelerator to the floor does little to help. It seems like the cvt stays in whatever high gear it was when i hit the brakes. I believe this constitutes a critical safety issue…
