RPMS WERE JUMPING UP DURING NORMAL DRIVING AND EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS COASTING. EVENTUALLY (ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER WHILE TRYING TO MAKE IT TO A SAFE STOPPING POINT) THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON HIWHAY AND ON SMALLER ROADS (35 MPH) ALSO. WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFICS LIGHT IS WHEN IT WOULDN'T MOVE. WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE IT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF IT SITTING IDOL. HAD IT TOWED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AS I APPROACHED THE RAMP, MY CAR STARTED MOVING SLOW. I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO PICK UP SPEED, MY CAR JERKED A BIT. AS I PROCEED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY IT PICKED UP SPEED. I ARRIVE AT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL, STOPPED, WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, I HAD TROUBLE WITH MY CAR PICKING UP SPEED. PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCING THIS SITUATION FROM AN OLD CHEVROLET VEHICLE I KNEW IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I CALLED MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND EXPLAINED WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY CAR, AND I THINK THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. MY MECHANIC EXPLAINED MY CAR IS TOO NEW TO HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES, HE ASKED I BRING IT TO THE SHOP. MY MECHANIC IS AN HONEST MECHANIC IF HE IS UNABLE TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE, HE WILL NOT TOUCH YOUR VEHICLE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC HE DROVE MY VEHICLE HIMSELF, RETURN TO THE SHOP IN 5 MINUTES, EXPRESS TO ME, "TAKE YOUR CAR TO NISSAN RIGHT NOW! THERE MUST BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION YOUR VEHICLE IS TOO NEW FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES." MY 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA, I PURCHASED OCOBER 15, 2016 STARTED OUT WITH 22 MILES, I PUT THOSE 22 MILES AFTER TEST DRIVING. NOW AT 66,048 MILES, I AM FACED WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I FOUND NO FACTORY RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN FOUND TWO RECALLS, THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ON THE LIST. I AM DEVASTATED I READ NISSAN'S ARE THE 3RD BEST VEHICLES. MY ALTIMA IS A YEAR AND EIGHT MONTHS OLD. CURRENTLY MY ALTIMA'S TRANSMISSION IS GETTING REPAIRED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP.

MY CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AT LEAST THEY SOLD IT NEW IN JULY 2016 AT SERRA NISSAN IN BORMINGHAM AL. AND NOW 2 YEARS AS OF 2 MTHS AGO 40,000 MILES LATER . THE REPAIR SHOP HERE IN CHATTANOOGA, TN INFORMWD ME THAT THEY HAD TO TAKE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION OUT AND REBUILD IT, WHAT? REBUILD UT AT 40000 MILES, THIS IS UNREAL. PLEASE HELP. I NOLONGER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THIS CAR IS COVERED STILL THANK GOD UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BUT HAVING CONFIDENCE IN A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AT 40K MILEAGE IS UNHEARD OF.. BASICALLY I DROVE FROM TN TO AL CAME BACK CAR DIDNT HARDLY MOVE AFTER GETTING OFF FREEWAY AND STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, IT WAS DISGUSTING AND VERY FRUSTRATING. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER NISSAN EAST AND. MECHANIC GUY BY THE NAME OF MIKE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO TAKE THE WHOLE TRANAMISSION OUT AND REBUILD IT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A CAR'S TRANSMISSION HAVING TO BE REBUILT AT 40000. I HAVE OWNED PLENTY OF NEW VEHICLES NEVER EVER EXPERIENCE THIS BEFORE. LOOK LIKE NISSAN IS ON MY BLACK LIST AND CONFIDENT IN KNOWING THAT THEY PRODUCE VEHICLES WITH TERRIBLE TRANSMISSIONS AND SEEMINGLY LEMONS. CONTWMPLATING SEEKING LEGAL REPRESENTATION REGARDING THIS MATTER.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 80 MPH WHEN MY RPM STARTED TO GO UP AND DOWN IN A WAY THAT I'D NEVER SEEN. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THAT, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND IT READ, 'P0841 TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH A CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE'. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR, AND RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WOULD COST ME $4,000. I THOUGHT MAYBE I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR, SO I CALLED AROUND LOOKING FOR THE PART AND EVERY SHOP TOLD ME TO CALL NISSAN.

WHILE DRIVING I FELT A SLIGHT STUTTER OR JERKING OF THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED THAT AS I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, SPEED DID NOT INCREASE. THE CAR WOULD SLOWLY MOVE FORWARD THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLED. NO LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH TO INDICATE A PROBLEM AND I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TWO DAYS PRIOR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY SIMILAR ISSUES REPORTED AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE CAR IN. I CALLED THE SERVICES OF MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND REPORTED THE ISSUE.
