P17f1 cvt judder code...there are recalls on v6 nissan altimas from 2015, but it does not apply to the 4 cylinder models, yet the cars are having the same issues. Most likely the transmission will need replaced. Very costly for a 4 year old vehicle ($3500 from non-dealer, $4000 - $5000 dealer estimate). Dealer charges $140 just to diagnose the issue. The vehicle hesitates when accelerating to get on the highway.…

Bought my altima used with 60k miles. At 80k it started exhibiting a delayed acceleration from total stop after some warmup period. With 106k miles, after warmup, it now always has delayed acceleration from any complete stop. The accelerator pedal has no effect until 80% depressed then it starts like its in 3rd gear. Scary if turning across traffic. Dealer says its a faulty solenoid in the transmission. On line…

My car starts to shudder and sound like it's in neutral. I was turning into a store and it stalled, but it then kicked into drive so i could move out of the way of oncoming traffic. I have had it checked by a reputable transmission person and was told to take it back to nissan because there have been some recalls or extended warranty. I called and long story short, i was told it has no warranty due to being over the…

Have shuddering of the car when driving up to 40 mph. Took to the dealership (where it has always been serviced) and diagnostics determined a "bad" transmission with identified "judder" code. However, the extended warranty issued by nissan to address to this issue does not currently extend to 6 cylinders, of which mine is. I have an issue with this, as my car is experiencing the same issues as stated in bulletin…

Purchased the car in 2016 with 22,000 miles. At the 2nd oil change, nissan dealership said it needed the cvt reprogrammed. From that point until now, i have complained about juddering, shuddering, delayed acceleration, and just not going when the gas pedal was pressed. The last time it happened before being completely disabled, it left me stranded on an interstate ramp merging into highway traffic, the car just…

Intermittent problem the dealer could not duplicate since 25k miles. The car revs and loses speed. Sometimes i press the gas pedal and it will not go for 2-5 secomds. Recently going up a hill the car rolled backwards while i was pressing the gas pedal. Turning the car off can "cure" the symptom until it randomly has the same problem. It is difficult driving in traffic, or deciding to make left turns because i can…

While waiting to turn left at an intersection for a break in oncoming traffic, the car will sometimes pause for 2-3 seconds when the accelerator is pressed, as if it were in neutral. This leaves me vulnerable to an accident when it finally kicks in and starts moving. When having to judge and make crucial decisions while driving is complicated by a car that doesn't move when it's supposed to i truly feel it's…
