2010 Nissan Altima

AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR SEVERAL HOURS , THEN EXITING AND COMING TO A FULL STOP, THE AUTO WILL BARELY MOVE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE WHEN GIVEN GAS. THIS HAS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME WHEN CARS COME UP BEHIND AND EXPECT ME TO PULL OUT. I CAN ONLY GO AT 2-5 MPH UNTIL THE CVT TRANSMISSION FINALLY ALLOWS THE CAR TO GO AT NORMAL SPEED LEVELS. NISSAN SERVICE ADVISOR IN FLORIDA, MY DESTINATION, TOLD ME IT WAS A " COMPUTER GLITCH" WHERE THE COMPUTER WAS FOOLED INTO BELIEVING THE CAR WAS STILL IN HIGHWAY SPEED GEAR AND WHICH HAD NO FIX. *KB

AFTER A HARD APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES (ABS ACTIVATES) AND STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE AT A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED. PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR DOES NOT INCREASE THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE NORMALLY. NISSAN REPORTS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR THE BRAKES. THE PROCESS OCCURS EVERYTIME AFTER THE ABS IS ACTIVATED AND RAPID ACCELERATION IS ATTEMPTED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORMAL SPEED LIMIT 60 MPH ON THE FWY WHEN WE HEARD A NOISE LIKE A BIG POP SOUND. RIGHT AWAY WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN TO GET OVER ( WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE) THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING SO BAD THAT I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE WHEEL. IT FELT AS IF THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING. THE CAR SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND CRASHED IN THE CARPOOL DIVIDER. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW NISSAN ALTIMA 2010 COUPE WITH 60K MILES ON THE CAR. WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AT THE TIME OR EVEN BEFORE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED, ALL PARTS ON THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. I REMEMBERED THAT THE MORE THAT I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL SHOCK HARDER AND HARDER TO WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN CONTROL IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH ON POSITION COULD NOT BE SWITCHED TO THE OFF POSITION UNTIL THE SHIFT SELECTOR WAS MOVED TO THE PARK POSITION; HOWEVER, HE WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN ANOTHER GEAR OTHER THAN THE PARK POSITION. THE DEALER WAS UNAWARE OF THE FAILURE SINCE THEY DID NOT REPLY TO ANY ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO NOTIFY NHTSA. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 15,000.

MY 2010 ALTIMA 2.5S HAS POOR ACCELERATION AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING LEFT HANDED TURNS IN FRONT OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC. I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY, IT'S ALMOST LIKE A HESITATION OR BOGG. THIS ISSUE IS WORSE WHEN THE A/C IS ON. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, BUT THEY REALLY NEED TO, BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I ALSO OWN A 95 ALTIMA AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE LIKE THIS, QUITE FRANKLY I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED WITH MY 2010 ALTIMA PURCHASE BECAUSE OF THIS POOR ACCELERATION ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND UPON RESTART, THE FAILURE OCCURRED A SECOND TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ON JUNE 26TH,WE LEFT THE HOUSTON AREA ON AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP. AT THE HALFWAY POINT WE EXITED 1-10 AT SCHULENBERG TEXAS AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROX.100 MILES. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT A NORMAL RATE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RESPONDING AND DIDN'T HAVE SUFFICIENT POWER TO SAFELY MOVE THRU THE INTERSECTION. I FURTHER DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING BUT FELT LITTLE MOVEMENT FROM THE VEHICLE. IT FELT AS IF THE CAR WAS STUCK IN HIGH GEAR. WE SLOWLY GAINED SPEED AND EVENTUALLY MOVED TO A PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP;NOT WILLING TO MOVE BEYOND THAT PARKING SPACE. AFTER ALLOWING TO VEHICLE TO COOL FOR AN HOUR, IT ACCELERATED 1-TIME AT IT'S NORMAL RATE BUT SOON RETURNED TO IT'S EARLIER CONDITION. WE ALLOWED IT TO SIT FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS AND DECIDED TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY. THE CAR MOVED OFF IN A NORMAL WAY, WE DECIDED SINCE IT WAS UNDERWAY AND BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE, WE DECIDED TO RETURN HOME VIA ALL FREEWAY,TRYING NOT TO STOP ANYWHERE. ON JUNE 28,2011 WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN ANGLETON TX. THE SERVICE DEPT. CLAIMED THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD TOO MUCH OIL (HALF QUART) IN IT FROM THE FACTORY WHICH CAUSES THEM TO OVERHEAT WHICH CAUSES THE CONDITION WE EXPERIENCED. THE DEALER STATED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS (CVT TRANSMISSION). THE DEALER STATED THERE IS NO RECALL. THE PROBLEM GIVES NO WARNING WHICH LEFT US PULLING SLOWLY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE WITH FAST MOVING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED US OF THIS PROBLEM AND DONE A SELF IMPOSED RECALL. I AM NOT CONVINCED OF NISSAN'S CLAIM OF "TOO MUCH OIL" AS THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR DID THIS BRIEFLY ONCE BEFORE WHILE MOVING VERY SLOWLY IN A PARKING LOT BUT NEVER DID IT AGAIN UNTIL JUNE 26 TH 2011. *TR

I OWN A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA SL AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION FOLLOWING LONG HIGHWAY TRIPS. WHEN I EXIT THE FREEWAY AND COME TO A STOP, I CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND EXPERIENCE VERY LITTLE SPEED. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND BOTH TIMES THEY STATE THAT THEY CAN'T "RECREATE THE PROBLEM". THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY WON'T DRIVE IT LONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH DRIVING SHORT OR MODERATE DISTANCES, ONLY LONG HIGHWAY TRIPS. I HAVE ONCE AGAIN RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I REFUSE TO PICK IT UP UNTIL THEY RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR BECAUSE WE WERE ALMOST INVOLVED IN A COLLISION LAST WEEK WHILE ON VACATION. *TR

DANGEROUS PERFORMANCE ON 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. AFTER DRIVING OVER 2 HOURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, I HAD TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FOLLOWING THE STOP AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND THEN IT MOVED GRADUALLY AND THEN QUICKLY PICKED UP SPEED. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE TRIP AFTER EXTENDED DRIVING TIME. *TR

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2010. IN OCTOBER WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO FLORIDA, AND AT THE END OF A FULL DAY OF TRAVEL, APROX 6 HOURS- WE EXITED I95 IN VIRGINIA TO GO TO OUR HOTEL. WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP SIGN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP, WE ATTEMPTED TO CROSS A STATE ROAD TO GET TO OUR HOTEL. WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR BARELY MOVED AND WE WERE ALMOST T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE GOT TO THE HOTEL AND AFTER A NIGHTS REST THE CAR SEEMED FINE, BUT THE CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING THE NEXT NIGHT. WHEN WE GOT TO FLORIDA THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND COULDN'T OFFER A SOLUTION. ON THE TRIP BACK TO NY THIS SPRING THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED EVERY DAY AFTER A LONG DRIVE, EVEN THOUGH WE MADE REST STOPS DURING THE DAY. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
