2009 Nissan Altima

I BOUGHT NEW 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING WHEN THE CAR STARTS DRIVING SINCE DAY ONE. I WAS TOLD IN THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A CVT AND IT'S WORKING THAT WAY. MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED NOW AT 62000 MI AND THE WARRANTY IS OVER. I DID A RESEARCH ON INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY NISSAN OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. *TR

2009 NISSAN ALTIMA INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START. CAR WILL ONLY CLICK OVER AND UNABLE TO SHIFT CAR INTO NEUTRAL. AIR CONDITIONING AND RADIO WORK, BUT WHEN YOU PRESS ON BRAKE TO START CAR NOTHING HAPPENS. DEALERS WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM, BUT HAVE BEEN GOT CAUGHT OUT MANY TIMES WHEN CAR WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO NOTIFY AAA. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN'S AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. *TR

TRAVELING ON A 3 HOUR TRIP, OF WHICH WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 TO 80 MPH SPEEDS. AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF RUNNING THESE SPEEDS NON STOP I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE COMING UP ON A SMALL INCLINE, THE CAR LOST POWER MY SPEED INSTANTLY DROPPED TO 60 MPH. I STOPPED AT THE NEXT GAS STATION (TEN MILES DOWN THE ROAD)TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, IT WAS FINE. GOT BACK ON THE ROAD AND IT RAN OK. THE NEXT DAY ON THE ROAD THE SAME THING HAPPENED, I STOPPED FOR 10 MINUTES, GOT BACK ON THE ROAD THEN IT RAN OK. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT IF A VEHICLE WAS BEHIND ME. AFTER RESEARCHING THE WEB I DISCOVERED MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE THIS NISSAN IS AN INTERSTATE DEATH TRAP THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I WAS TRYING TO GET TO THE ER AND WHEN I WENT TO START MY CAR THE WORD "KEY" FLASHED ON AND THE CAR WILL NOT START!!! I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 98K MILES..NOW I AM STRANDED AND MATHEWS NISSAN IN CLARKSVILLE, TN SAYS THEY WILL BE GLAD TO HELP FOR A PRICE. I EXPLAINED TO THEM IT WAS AN EMERGENCY AND THEY SUGGESTED " I CALL A FRIEND".. SAID THEY DIDN'T BUILD IT AND I WASN'T PAYING THEM FOR THE CAR, I WAS PAYING THE BANK AND TO CALL NISSAN IF I HAD A PROBLEM WITH HOW THEY WERE BUILT!!! TERRIBLE SERVICE AND UNRELIABLE CAR!!! STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN MEDICAL ATTENTION!!!! THANKS ALOT NISSAN!!!!!!! *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE COASTING UPHILL, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TREE, BUT NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE EXACT FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32608.- LL

TWO INCIDENTS ON SAME DAY: FIRST INCIDENT AT 7:15AM: ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV WITHOUT ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING PUSHED. BRAKING DISTANCE MUCH LONGER THAN NORMAL. WHEN CAR DID STOP, ENGINE SPEED RETURNED TO NORMAL. SECOND INCIDENCE AT 10:45AM (HAD STOPPED/STARTED CAR 5 TIMES, AND DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES SINCE FIRST OCCURRENCE): SAME ENGINE OVER-REV ISSUE WHILE BRAKING (ACCELERATOR PEDAL NOT PUSHED). AFTER STOPPING (DISTANCE REQUIRED MUCH LONGER THAN NORMAL), ENGINE SPEED DID NOT RETURN TO NORMAL. WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, THEN PARK, TO KEEP ENGINE FROM PROPELLING CAR, ENGINE SPEED WENT TO 6000RPM, WITHOUT ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING PUSHED. HAD TO TURN ENGINE OFF, THEN START AGAIN TO GET ENGINE TO RESPOND NORMALLY. *TR

WE PURCHASED THIS 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA 5 MONTHS AGO WITH 56000 MILES ON IT AND ONLY DROVE IT LOCALLY UNTIL 8/31/13 WHEN WE WENT ON A FIVE HOUR TRIP, 3 OF WHICH WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 TO 70 MPH SPEEDS. AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF RUNNING THESE SPEEDS NON STOP WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC COMING UP ON A SMALL INCLINE THE CAR LOST POWER MY SPEED INSTANTLY DROPPED TO 40 MPH, THE TRACTOR TRAILER FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND HAD TO GO ON LOCKDOWN TO AVOID PLOWING US OVER. I WAS FLOOR BOARDING THE CAR TRYING TO MAINTAIN 40 MPH UNTIL I COULD CHANGE LANES TO PULL OVER. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MILES BEFORE WE COULD CHANGE LANES AT THIS SPEED BUT IN THAT TIME I REALIZED AFTER ATTEMPTING TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT FOR MORE POWER THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN HIGH AND WOULDN'T LET ME DOWNSHIFT MANUALLY. AFTER SITTING ON THE ROAD WITH NO PHONE SIGNAL OR HELP I DECIDED TO STUMBLE TO THE NEAREST TOWN BUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS AGAIN WORKING BY THIS TIME SO WE CAUTIOUSLY FINISHED THE LAST LEG OF OUR TRIP. WITH NO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT OUR DESTINATION I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS BUT BRING IT IN UPON RETURN. AT OUR DESTINATION WE AGAIN DROVE THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS SHORT TRIPS WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT ON OUR RETURN TRIP AGAIN TWO HOURS OR SO AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS IM LOSING POWER AND THE TRANSMISSION IS STUCK IN HIGH AGAIN SO WE PULL OVER AND LET IT SET AGAIN BEFORE CONTINUING OUR TRIP HOME. SOON AS WE ARRIVED HOME I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR THREE DAYS AND SAID NO CODES OR PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE TO DRIVE IT AT THE SPEEDS OR DISTANCE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED TO RECREATE IT BUT SUGGESTED I PAY THEM 275.00 TO CHANGE THE FLUID. AFTER RESEARCHING THE WEB I DISCOVERED MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE ITS EVEN VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. THIS NISSAN IS AN INTERSTATE DEATH TRAP THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

DRIVING VEHICLE AT SPEED OF 80 WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE BUT GAS PETAL WENT TO THE GROUND. CAR STARTED TO LOSS POWER. WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY WHICH CAR STAYED AT 20 MPH WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. I HAD CAR EVALUATED AND MECHANIC SAID HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE IN THE HIGH TEMPERATURE. *TR
