2009 Nissan Altima

MY ALTIMA HAS 257K MILES. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE AND THE CAR JUST DIED ON MY STREET. THE ENGINE MADE A WHINING SOUND AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR DOWN THE HILL TO MY HOUSE. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND I AM REPLACING THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE LAST TIME I REPLACED IT WAS 3 YEARS AGO IN 2016. MOST OF MY MILEAGE IS HWY MILES. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE CRAPPY CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE ALTIMA. THE DEALER IS PUTTING IN MY 3RD TRANSMISSION TODAY AND ONLY GUARANTEEING A 1 YEAR / 12000 MILE WARRANTY. THIS DOES NOT SOUND LIKE THEY ARE BACKING THEIR PRODUCT. FROM ALL THAT I HAVE READ AND EXPERIENCED, THE CAR IS A TOTAL SAFETY ISSUE LOSING SPEED IN WARM WEATHER ON LONG TRIPS THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. COULD THERE BE A RECALL COMING?

EMAIL TO JACK DANIELSON FROM CONSTITUENT REGARDING THEIR GRANDSON 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE BEING DRIVEN, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO FAIL SAFE MODE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT WITHOUT A TRANSMISSION COOLER AND A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED TO PUT ONE IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HONOR THE SERVICE BULLETIN. *JS *JS

I HAVE A NISSAN ALTIMA JUST BOUGHT 2016. WHEN DRIVING 20 MIN OR MORE WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP ABOUT 3 SECONDS AFTER. YOU FEEL A SHIFT OR JOLT, IN THE ENGINE THE HARMONIC BALANCER OR TIMING CHAIN. I WAS DRIVING 70 DOWN I45 BUSY TRAFFIC, AS AUDIAL AND ALL A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTS LOOSING POWER AND I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE REAR BY A MAC TRUCK. WHEN I WAS SAFELY AT A STOP, I KILLED IT AND IT CRANKED BACK UP WITH HALF THE POWER. 1500 RPMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JEFFERY NISSAN (30800 GRATIOT AVE, ROSEVILLE, MI 48066, 586-510-1378) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 131,000.

TAKATA RECALL TRANSMISSIONS ON THE NISSAN ALTIMA. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY CAR STALLS, PUT MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE PEDAL AND NOTHING, EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD, COULD OF EASILY BEEN HIT BY SOMEONE GOING FULL SPEED FROM BEHIND. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN AND WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO GO NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN ALTIMAS HAVE THIS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND TAKATA WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ISSUE A RECALL. GUESS THEY DON'T CARE IF THEY LEAVE SOMEONE'S KIDS POTENTIALLY ORPHANED 🤷🏻‍♀️

P0776 CODES POPULATES AFTER 02 SENSORS WERE CHANGED. IT'S THE SOLENOID B PRESSURE LINE LOCATED IN THE VALVE BODY. IT AFFECTS THE CAR TO THE POINT WE'RE IT'S UNDRIVEABLE AND LOSES POWER. CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 3000RPMS IF IT DOES IT CAUSES THE CAR TO GO INTO LYMP MODE. THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE ISSUE AND NISSAN HAS YET TO MAKE ANY EFFORT TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. NOBODY HAS $3000 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION, WHEN IT'S ONLY A LITTLE COMPONENT THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND NOT THE ENTIRE TRANNY. RECTIFY THE ISSUE AND STOP SELLING LEMON CARS WITH HORRIBLE PARTS.

WHEN IT'S REALLY HOT OUTSIDE AND I DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS MY CAR STARTS TO LOSE POWER. WHEN HOLDING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR MUCH CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO STOP AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR 20 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN DRIVE. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOESN'T EVER SAY THAT THE CAR IS HOT THOUGH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. EACH TIME ON A HOT DAY AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2012 SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR I NOTICED SOMETHING DIDN'T FEEL QUITE RIGHT I CALLED THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE THEY ASSURED ME EVERYTHING WAS OKAY BUT THEN IN 2016 I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN ABOUT THE WHINING NOISE AGAIN AND WHEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE HOW MY CAR WOULD JUST SLOW DOWN WITH NO WARNING CAUSING THE TRACTOR TRAILER TRAVELING BEHIND ME TO THINK QUICKLY AND JUMP INTO ANOTHER LANE OR ELSE I PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TO BE WRITING YOU. THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS AFTER I EXITED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN ONCE I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET CAUSING A CAR COMING AROUND THE CURVE TO QUICKLY EXIT ONTO THE INTERSTATE TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. WHEN I EXPLAINED ALL OF THIS TO NISSAN THEY ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I SAID WHY WASN'T THIS SOMETHING YOU SEND OUT TO CONSUMERS BECAUSE IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THEN THIS ISN'T THE FIRST INCIDENT. AT THE TIME I REPORTED THIS I HAD 119,876 MILES ON MY CAR THE REP PROCEEDED TO TELL ME I WAS PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I SAID WHAT EXTENDED WARRANTY I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN REFERENCE TO THIS. NEEDLESS TO SAY NISSAN NEVER FOLLOWED BACK UP WITH ME AND I REACHED OUT TO THEM AGAIN RECENTLY ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND TOLD THEM NOBODY EVER FOLLOWED UP AND I WAS ALMOST HIT ONCE AGAIN DUE TO LOSING POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. TOOK THE CAR IN TO A NISSAN SERVICE DEPART EXPLAINED THE ISSUE ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID OH THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ENGINE BUT THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT ASSURED ME THIS WAS THE ISSUE NEEDLESS TO SAY TWO DAYS LATER AND $390 LATER THE PROBLEM STILL ISN'T FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND ONE DAY MAY CAUSE FATALITIES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THOSE VEHICLES UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY HAVE LAWSUITS. HTTP://WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/CVT/
