CAR HESITATES AND RPMS REVS UP ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL AND DIE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 55-80MPH. ENGINE MAKES ACCELERATION NOISES FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING. WHEN YOU SIT FOR 10 MIN AND THEN GO TO DRIVE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT TIMES. WHEN YOU STOP AT STOP SIGNS OR STOP LIGHTS THEN TRY TO DRIVE AGAIN YOUR FOOT WILL BE ALL THE WAY DOWN ON GAS PEDAL CAR ROLLS FORWARD AT MAYBE 5MPH ALMOST GOT HIT MULTIPLE TIMES. LIGHT TURNS RED I'M IN MIDDLE OF STREET AND CAR WONT DRIVE. THIS HAS GONE ON MAINLY IN WARMER WEATHER AFTER RUNNING AC AND SITTING IN CAR THEN TRYING TO DRIVE. WHEN GET OUT OF CAR NOTICE A SLIGHT BURNING SMELL AND ANTIFREEZE SMELL. GOOD 50 TIMES IN PAST YEAR I'VE HAD THIS CAR. NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR TO FIX ISSUE. AT STOP LIGHTS HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF AND TURN BACK ON TO GET CAR TO MOVE WHEN IT STARTS ACTING UP OUT OF FEAR SOMEONE WILL END UP HITTING ME BECAUSE MY CAR HESITATES TO GO. DRIVES FINE AS LONG AS I GO FROM POINT A TO B. IF I START CAR LET AC RUN TO COOL DOWN THEN SIT IN CAR WHILE RUNNING LIKE IN DRIVE THRU FOR 10 MIN THEN CONTINUE TO DRIVE WILL HAVE THESE ISSUES. HAVENT TRIED WITH RUNNING HEAT INSTEAD OF AC.

ON 6-25-19 PULLED INTO A SERVICE STATION TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THIS IS A SIGNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GETTING READY TO GO OUT. I ASKED IF HE COULD CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL AND HE EXPLAINED THAT THERE ISN'T A DIP STICK TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID.

AS MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DROP SPEED FROM 70 MILES TO ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR. AS I TRIED TO SPEED UP BY ACCELERATING, THE SPEED WOULD NOT GO HIGHER AND WOULD JUST CONTINUE TO DROP. THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO SEE I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY AND WOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN THEY GOT CLOSE AND GO AROUND ME, SO I AM GLAD NO ACCIDENTS HAPPENED SINCE WE WERE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN HIGH SPEED WHEN THIS STARTED TO OCCUR. WE DROVE LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES SINCE WE WERE DRIVING BACK HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN. AT SOME POINTS IT FELT AS THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO TURN OFF WHILE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WOULD JERK WHILE DRIVING AND SPEED UP ON IT'S OWN AS WELL AT TIMES. WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A RED LIGHT THE CAR SAID IT WAS GOING 60 MILES PER AND I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. IT WOULD NOT BREAK AS I STEPPED ON THE BREAK, TAKING IT A WHILE TO RESPOND. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AFTER I ACCELERATED, AND AFTER A WHILE START TO MOVE SLOWLY AND GAIN SPEED VERY SLOWLY. AN ERROR ALSO APPEARED BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT DISPLAYED.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FOR MILES OVER 60,000. WHEN AT STOP LIGHT AND TRY TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES, CAR DOES NOT MOVE WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. WHILE DRIVING, CAR DOES NOT SWITCH GEARS AND CAR SLOWS DOWN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. IF YOU ARE DRIVING ONE OF THESE CARS, IT WILL BE DEADLY ONE DAY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THESE VEHICLES CAN BE SOLD. AFTER MANY PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES, SOMEONE WILL NOTICE. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS ON CITY STREETS AND ALSO INTERSTATE DRIVING.

I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ABOUT 68,000 MILES AND MY TRANSMISSION HAS TROUBLE CHANGING GEARS AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW MINUTES. AS I CHANGE GEARS FROM 0 TO 40 MPH, THE CAR STARTS JERKING OR TAKES A WHILE TO REACH 40 MPH. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING AROUND THE CITY AND I MAKE A FULL STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, WHEN I START ACCELERATING THE CAR WON'T SPEED UP NO MATTER HOW FAR I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR, AFTER 6-10 SECONDS HAVE PASSED IT'LL START MOVING BUT IN A VERY JERKING MANNER. TO FIX THE ISSUE AT THE MOMENT, I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND LET IT REST FOR A FEW MINUTES. BUT, IT STILL DOES THIS EVERY TIME I DRIVE. IN THE HIGHWAY, I CAN NOT GO FASTER THAN 70 MPH BECAUSE ONCE I GET OUT OF THE HIGH WAY AND SLOW DOWN THE CAR WILL HAVE THE SAME GEAR CHANGING ISSUE AND IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR WILL GIVE UP ANY SECOND. THIS WASN'T AN ISSUE WHEN I GOT THIS CAR WITH ABOUT 48,000 MILES ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. IT STARTED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AFTER GETTING IT AND IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO LET ME KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL MADE FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION, MY ONLY SOLUTION WOULD BE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THREE DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE UNDERWENT A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) FAILED TO PROPERLY CHANGE OVER FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 65 MPH TO LESS THAN 45 MPH, WHICH CAUSED THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN CAUTIOUSLY TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THEN TOWED TO PRIORITY NISSAN RICHMOND (16301 PRIORITY WAY, CHESTER, VA 23831, (804) 414-0550). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BASED ON THE MILEAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE REPAIRED ON 05/03/19 PRIOR TO BREAKDOWN. *TR
