My car started "sputtering" and shutting off when in motion or coming to a stop. The car then started to rev the engine between 2-3rpm when i was driving at a constant speed. When i was driving on a major highway, the car revved past 4rpm and completely shut off without warning. I was luckily able to stop the car, but no one should ever have to endure that dangerous and potentially catastrophic event. I took my car…

I have a 2014 nissan altima that revs up while i;m driving and then stops. I turn it off and start it again. It does this constantly. It's very dangerous because i'm driving and all of a sudden, i hear a revving up sound, the car starts to hesitate,, it slows down and then comes to a complete stop. It doesn;t give me a chance to pull off the road. I have to immediately put on my hazard lights. It stops without…

Cvt dtc code p17f0 brought the car to the dealer to have the cvt fluid changed at the 60,000 mile service. The dealer showed me the dtc code indicating that there is a cvt problem. The dealer also stated that when the 2014 altima with an l33 engine came out, nissan was changing the cvt because the code indicates an imminent failure. The dealer stated that since then because it cost nissan too much, nissan has…

Replaced transmission at 84000 miles at a cost of $4100 because of shuddering and stalling. At 100600 miles and 11 months later the transmission failed the exact same way again. Nissan would not cover the cost of another replacement. It cost me another $1050 with the help of the dealer and nissan who know they have a totally faulty transmission and won't acknowledge. It stalled and shutterdat a highway intersection…

This is the second transmission issue i've had in less than a year. The car began shaking in february and stopped on me while at a stop light. There have been no check engine lights or anything to alert me of an issue. Now the car will hesitate severly before shifting gears. If i take the care out of park into drive or reverse, it takes upwards of 30 seconds for the car to engage into that gear. I have been stranded…

Don't have to really say much because it's pretty much all over the internet but that transmission is a piece of junk!! It was slipping repeatedly from around 50,000-104,000 when i got rid of it. It would also stall out (yes on a cvt) from time to time in stop and go traffic. It got to a point that i was scared i was going to be stuck with a car with no resale valve (because of the transmission) and owe a $14,000…

My car was loosing power and dying when put into gear or shortly after trying to go. Thought it may be a alternator problem as i was loosing power. Turns out it was the transmission. Found out that my transmission was reprogrammed one year ago and now it needs a new transmission and only has 73,000 miles. I feel like this is a safety issue because when i placed the car in gear and started moving and it died on me…

The car suddenly shut off while driving on the highway. It did not restart right away. After trying several times the car started. Also, it would slow down while driving up hill until the car stopped. After waiting several minutes and flooring the gas petal the car continued forward. My safety concern is the car suddenly shutting down while driving on a highway. The car was checked out by a mechanic today, he said…

The car died in a store parking lot and i had it towed to a local shop. The codes indicated a tech service bulletin that states "needs a new transmission". Now my local dealership is denying this is the correct code and it only needs…
