I last month filed a complaint with the nthsa about my 2014 altima's bad transmission. I had contacted nissan usa multiple times. They first acknowledged liability (even though it is out of warranty) and offered to pay the part (new transmission). But on aug 15, 2018, they claimed that since the local dealer "cannot duplicate the concern", my car is "okay to drive", denying any responsibility of any future accidents…

In december 2016 with approximately 40k miles on odometer, the car stalled at an intersection. After starting again, it stalled each time while putting it in gear. After a tow to nissan dealer, they informed me of a transmission problem. They mentioned replacing the transmission, but decided to change an internal component (i don't remember what part) to the transmission instead of the whole thing, which at the time…

I was completely stopped a busy intersection waiting to make a left turn. With no warning the car jerked forward. The force of the jerking motion was so great that i initially thought i was rear ended. The car started sputtering like it was going to shut off, i had cars in front and back of me and had no where to go. I shifted the car into park to try and give it some gas to keep it from shutting off and it…

Last week (july 19, 2018) my family was on a trip back from nyc to ithaca. When we arrived in the ithaca area and stopped the car at a red light, the engine shut off. We were able to push the engine button again to restart the car. So, i thought it was not a big deal. Two days later, the engine turned off at a red light on the road and it did not move. Cars behind me kept honking and my daughter cried in horror. The…

I was nearly killed when my 2014 nissan altima with 114k miles abruptly lost ability to accelerate while i was on the highway during morning rush hour commute. After being towed and inspected at the dealership, i was hit with the news that i needed a new cvt!!
