2007 Nissan Altima

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND I PUT THE CAR IN CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR COMES OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND I ENTER IT INTO CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN. THE SAME RESULTS HAPPEN. THEN I NOTICE MY RPM ACCELERATING AND MY MPH DECELERATING. I KNEW I HAD TO PULL MY VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY. AS I'M SWITCHING LANES MY CAR STARTS TO SMOKE PROFUSELY AND I SAY SMALL FLAMES FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. NISSAN AFFAIRS REFUSES TO FIX MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS EXACTLY 1, 918 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH, MY TRANSMISSION BLEW PREMATURELY. *TR

I OWN A NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT HAS FAILED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. THE CAR RPM'S RUN UP AT THE SAME TIME AND THE CAR CAN NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40-45 MPH. I HAVE FOUND OUT NISSAN HAS HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRANSMISSION FROM 2007 ON. NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

TOOK CAR IN AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG..AFTER DRIVING AND FINALLY IT WOULDN'T GO ANYMORE AND MY CARS WAS AT ABOUT 160 MILES BY NOW I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO MAYBE GET A TUNE UP AFTER GETTING A TUNE UP. IT DROVE FINE UNTIL I DROVE OUT OF STATE AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING BUT SPEEDOMETER WAS @0. FINALLY MADE IT HOME SAFE AFTER LETTING CAR COOL ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY 50 MILES AND TOOK BACK TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT WHEN GETTIN A TUNE UP IF FLUIDS LOOK OK THEY AREN'T CHANGED..SO UPON FINDING THIS OUT I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION @ A DIFFERENT SHOP PUT NEW TRANSMISSION IN AND DROVE FINE FOR 35 PLUS THOUSAND MILES AND EVERYTHING STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN..TOOK BACK AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A CATALYTIC CONVERTER A NEW DOWN FLEX PIPE AND A NEW TRANSMISSION...I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET A CAR TRANSMISSION RECALLED OR OFF THE MARKET CAUSE I'VE NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH A CAR LIKE THIS BEFORE..I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR STEPPING OUT ON THE ACURA AND HONDA FAMILY...:-) PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FOR ME THANK YOU!! *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW WHEN IT WAS RELEASED IN LATE DECEMBER 2006, ALMOST 2 YEARS LATER, I HAD INFORMED MY TECH WHEN I WOULD BRING MY CAR IN FOR SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES THAT I HEAR A SLIGHT NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR AND SOMETIMES A VIBRATION, OVER THESE NEXT FEW MONTHS AND YEAS I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS EITHER A BEND IN MY RIM, NEEDING NEW TIRES, TO HAVING EXHAUST LEAKS OR ALIGNMENT NEEDED. SO I WOULD TAKE IT TO ANOTHER SHOP AND THEY WOULD TELL ME DIFFERENT OR IF THEY CONFIRMED I WOULD GET THE SERVICE DONE AT A LICENSED MECHANIC. OVER TIME THE NOISE GREW LOUDER AND LOUDER AND DISMISSED EACH TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. UNTIL RECENTLY I FIGURED OUT THAT THE NOISE WOULD ONLY BE HEARD AND PRESENT AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING FOR 45MIN OR MORE. SO I REPRODUCED THE CONDITIONS BEFORE I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS THEN THE ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS SEVER RUST TAKING PLACE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE TECH PRECEDED TO TELL ME THAT MAY HAVE STARTED WHEN MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT 3 YEARS AGO IN 2008. I CONTACTED THE BODYSHOP THAT DID THE REPAIRS THE PROVIDED PAPERWORK PROVING THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS NEVER EFFECTED OR TOUCHED AS PART OF THE ACCIDENT. THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND I EVEN HAVE PAPERWORK FROM THE SAME NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT SHOWS THAT NISSAN DID A MULTIPOINT INSPECTION WHERE THEY INSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION AND ITS FLUID JUST 8 MONTHS PRIOR AND FOUND IT TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION N NO PRESENCE OF RUST OR FLUID ISSUES. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO OWN UP TO THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THERE CVT TRANSMISSION AND COST FOR REPLACEMENT. *TR
