The vehicle is just past the 120k mile power train warranty period and the transmission/cvt began hard-shifting/clunking at around 40mph.

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…

Follow up to complaint number 10198578. The entire cvt transmission was eventually replaced while the car had only 4500 miles on it. At around 60,000 miles the check engine light came on (8/31/09) so i took it to do the dealership and they received transmission codes. Nissan headquarters got involved and determined another transmission was needed. This will be my third transmission on a car that is a little over 2…

I owned a 2007 altima at the time. The problem occurs at speeds over 45 mph. If emergency brakes are slammed and lockup until vehicle comes to complete stop the throttle becomes totally unresponsive for up to 1 minute. This happened to me at an intersection and scared the'!@#$% out of me. Similar thing occurred a few days later. I decided to test if this issue can be duplicated. It can with almost 100% accuracy.…

Push the gas pedal all the way down, and the rpm's go way up, but car barely accelerates. First attempt at dealership, they could not find the problem. A day later, the problem happened again. The second attempt, they replaced the transmission control module. A day later, it happened again. Currently at…

On some minor slopes, but not all, the cvt transmission-equipped 2007 altima will roll backwards several feet while in "drive" posing a hazard to objects and persons behind the vehicle. This is consistently reproducible in our home driveway but not on steeper slopes such as a parking garage. The surprising condition caused my wife to panic and almost lose control, nearly striking another vehicle. The dealership has…
