AFTER DRIVING HOME FROM A TRIP TO THE LAKE OUR CAR STARTED HAVING DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING FROM STOP LIGHTS IN DRIVE. . IT WOULD SEEM TO STALL OUT AND NOT ACCELERATE. LUCKILY IT WORKED ENOUGH TO GET US THE LAST MILE HOME. TODAY (THE NEXT DAY) MY HUSBAND WENT TO GO RUN ERRANDS AND AFTER PUTTING THE 2017 NISSAN ALTIMA INTO GEAR THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. THE CAR IS PARKED IN OUT DRIVEWAY. THERE IS A WHINING SOUNDS THAT COMES OUT OF THE ENGINE WHILE IDLING. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO GEAR THE WHINING GETS LOUDER AND THE RPMS WILL JUMP UP BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. NO MATTER WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN. *TR

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY BACK IN FEBRUARY AND MY CAR STOPPED AT A CERTAIN SPEED AND WHEN I TRIED TO GO FASTER THE CAR WOULDN'T PICK UP SPEED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON.I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I'VE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN TIME TO GO THE CAR SEEM TO STALL FOR A MINUTE BEFORE MOVING. JUST A FEW DAYS AGO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC TO BE TOLD THE CODE THAT CAME UP WAS P0776 AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THEY MY MODEL AND YEAR CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS YET. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE 3 KIDS WHICH ONE IS A NEWBORN THAT I TRANSPORT IN THIS VEHICLE. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.

THIS IS THE 2ND NISSAN ALTIMA WITH TRANSMISSION/POWER TRAIN ISSUES. THE FIRST I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THINKING THAT PERHAPS IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. MY CAR DOES NOT WANT TO ENGAGE ON TAKE OFF. THE RPMS GO UP REALLY HIGH AND THE CAR BARELY TAKES OFF. THIS OCCURS DURING ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS ON ALL TERRAINS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM WORK AS I NORMALLY WOULD, MY CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED AND WOULD NOT EVEN GO PAST 20 MILES PER HOUR EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I LIFTED MY FOOT SLOWLY UP FROM THE PEDAL HAVING TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AND IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE MORE AFTER A GOOD MINUTE. I GOT MAYBE 3 MILES UP THE ROAD AND SLOWED DOWN BEHIND A DIESEL AND MY CAR STALLED AGAIN WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY ON THE FLOOR PUSHING MY GAS PEDAL, IT STAYED UNDER 40 MPH FOR A GOOD 30 SECONDS. IT TOOK ME A MINUTE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON. I KNOW THE SYMPTOMS BECAUSE I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED A NEWER 2017 CHEVY MALIBU, I WAS THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND MY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WENT OUT AT 22,000 MILES. THEY SAID IT WASNT NORMAL FOR IT TO GO OUT THAT EARLY, BUT MINE DID. IT WASNT A RECALL WHEN IT WENT OUT, BUT BECAME A RECALL AFTERWARDS IN LESS THAN A MONTH. THAT COULD HAVE KILLED ME AS MY CAR SUDDENLY REDUCED ENGINE SPEED WHILE PULLING OUT OF A RESTAURANT, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SLIGHTLY TO A NEARBY GAS STATION.

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH TERRAIN GOING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 35 MPH, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THEN RELEASES. WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENS I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST 3 TIMES THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIME SINCE I'VE PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 12/31/2019.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAMS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. I WAS ALMOST IN A ONE CAR ACCIDENT (COULDN'T SEE UPCOMING TRAFFIC CIRCLE) AS A RESULT. I HAVE TO RELY ON HIGH BEAMS FOR VISIBILITY WHENEVER POSSIBLE . THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED. I AM POSITIVE THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT FIXED.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL HESITATE TO GAIN POWER FROM A STOP POSITION. SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL RAMP UP WITHOUT ME PRESSING HARD ON THE GAS PEDDLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ADVANCE AUTO AND THE CODE THAT COMES UP IS P0776 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED BUT I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 7 MONTHS. AND I'M SURE OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUES IF NOT NOW VERY SOON. CUSTOMER WILL VERY MUCH SOON BE VERY PISSED OFF AFTER 7 MONTHS OF HAVING THEIR VEHICLE OR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HITS 60K. AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND I FEEL LIKE IT WAS A MISTAKE GETTING THIS CAR.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL MAKE A VIBRATION NOISE, LOSES POWER. ABSOLUTELY NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. ALMOST LIKE GETTING NO FUEL, BUT YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING AND VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WILL START TO MOVE SLOWLY. THEN IT WILL GO. THIS PROCESS WILL REPEAT OVER AND OVER. UNTIL STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN YOU COME BACK IT ACTS FINE. THEN STARTS OVER ONCE DRIVEN A WHILE. THIS HAPPEN WHEN CITY DRIVING OR HIGHWAY. I FINALLY GOT A LIGHT TO COME ON AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF DRIVING THIS WAY. CHECK ENGINE CODE P0776 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID. THAT'S IN THE TRANSMISSION. DEALER SAYS ITS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS ON OTHER NISSAN MODELS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS.

I HAVE A 2017 NISSAN ALTIMA AND MY TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT.I HAVE THE NEW CVT TRANSMISSION AND MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THOSE NEW TRANSMISSIONS ARE HORRIBLE ONCE THEY GO BAD YOU HAVE TO GET A NEW ONE. ALSO THERE ARE TWO CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE SIZE FOR THOSE SPECIFIC TRANSMISSION. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG MY CAR IS WHEN I WAS HEADED TO MIAMI TO THE DOLPHINS STADIUM FOR MY DAUGHTER'S CHEER PERFORMANCE I WAS ON I 95 SOUTH AND MY CAR STARTED JERKING AS IF IT WANTED TO STOP THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON TO INDICATE THAT'S SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTO ZONE FOR A FREE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I CALL NISSAN AND ASKED HOW MUCH WOULD IT BE TO FIX MY CAR THEY REFUSE TO TAKE THE AUTO ZONE DIAGNOSTIC TEST RESULTS THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $300 DOLLARS JUST TO LOOK AT MY CAR. THE SECOND TIME MY CAR STOPPED ON ME IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS HEADED HOME FROM WORK SITTING AT A RED LIGHT ON 441 AND WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO I PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS IN MY CAR WILL NOT MOVE I WAS SO SCARED I JUST SHUT OFF MY CAR TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STARTED TO WORK AND THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON MY WAY COMING BACK FROM TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL I'M TAKING MY DAUGHTER AND I WAS BUSY INTERSECTION SOUTHERN BOULEVARD MY CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I HAD TO PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS SO MANY TIMES IT'S AGO AND WHEN IT DIDN'T SHUT OFF LIKE A ROCKET I WAS SO SCARED.

SERVICE BRAKES
BOTH THE DRIVE SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT BRAKES ON MY 2017 NISSAN ALTIMA SR SQUEAK ONLY WHEN GOING IN REVERSE. THE NOISE IS VERY PRONOUNCED WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN OUT OF THE GARAGE IN THE MORNING IN REVERSE. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED ANYWHERE ELSE FOR A WHILE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE COLD THEY ALWAYS SQUEAK WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN IN REVERSE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2017 AND THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN SQUEAKING FOR YEARS.
