I have only had my car for about 15 months and i bought it brand new. So about a month ago i noticed that there was a jerk when i would push on the gas when coming from a complete stop. One time my car even slightly slid and the tire light came on. I took my car to the dealership once that happened but they said that the only issue they saw was that my wheels were unbalanced. I still experience this issue from time…

While traveling at 65 mph on the highway, the rpms began jumping. It was acting like the transmission was slipping. Then after stopping, the transmission took several seconds to go into gear. A short time later, the car would not accelerate over 60mph. Took to the dealer and they said the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The car had under 20,000 miles on it. I have read that this is a very common…

I have number of problems with my vehicle - 2014 altima sl. Several times after stop and go traffic the transmission stops switching gears (speeds). It gets stuck on a first gear equivalent in cvt transmission. The fix is to restart the vehicle, obviously this could be dangerous on the road where there are no places to stop. Another major problem is a head unit (navigation, radio, etc). It restarts by itself now and…

After slowing down or stopping, ie at an intersection waiting to turn or at a stop sign or light waiting to go, when you attempt to accelerate from the stop or slow down there is a hesitation before the car will accelerate properly. On numerous occasions, because of this hesitation, i was in danger of not getting through the intersection or of not completing a turn in time to avoid being hit by on coming traffic. I…

As the speed reduces below 25 mph, when you leave gas pedal, even on a level road, the engine rpm appears to fall at or below 1000 rpm and then shoots up to 1300 rpm. It then struggles to find the correct gear ratio and fluctuates between 1000-1500 rpm without any intervention. This creates a jerky behavior and acceleration when none intended especially when one intends to slow down the vehicle. There is almost zero…

I stopped the car and believed i put it in park. I got out of the car--it did not move. I went to the rear passenger door and got my two year old out of her car seat. I placed her beside the car and shut the rear door. I walked around behind the car to the driver's door. I turned the car off like i always do. The car shut off--and suddenly without warning--began rapidly moving down my driveway. My baby was at the…

Shortly after purchasing my 2014 nissan altima my wife had pulled into our driveway and "pushed" the stop engine button while the shift lever was in drive and the engine shut off. The car immediately started to roll backwards out into the street into oncoming traffic. We were lucky it didn't cause a serious accident! This cars gear shift "does not" have to be in park in order to "push" the button that stops the…

While driving in my town home community and slightly turning right while going up a slightly inclined road the vehicle begins to shake violently and it seems the transmission is locking up. Goes away either by removing all pressure on accelerator or if excessive accelerator pressure is applied. The type of accelerator pressure needed to stop the excessive shaking would bring the vehicle to a speed that is…
