SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, DOES NOT MAINTAIN A SOLID SPEED, INCREASES AND DECREASES SPEED ON IT OWN, WHEN STOPPED THE VEHICLE WITH NOT GO WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED, IT WILL TAKE A FEW MOMENTS AND THEN ACCELERATE AT A REALLY HIGH SPEED OR FORCE. THE WINDOWS RANDOMLY STOP WORKING, THE LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF, THE STEERING COLUMN TIGHTENS AND THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING IT ON THE ROAD. IT WILL DISPLAY THAT THE KEY IS MISSING AND TURN OFF. IT HAS TAKEN SEVERAL MINUTES TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS DURING IDLE AND IN MOTION, ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN THE CITY.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
MY 2017 ALTIMA HAD BEEN JERKING, ALMOST FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THIS WOULD OCCUR AT RANDOM ACCELERATION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL FOR BRIEF SECONDS BEFORE IT WOULD ACTUALLY ACCELERATE. ON TOP OF THAT VEHICLE HAS NOW STARTED A LOUD WINING SOUND THAT GETS LOUDER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND THEN GRADUALLY IT WILL BEGIN TO TAKE OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY STOP OR SLOW DOWN MADE. MY CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS EITHER. SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST I HAD ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE NOT WANTING TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. SINCE THEN THIS IS WHAT HAS OCCURED. AT THIS POINT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO NO ACCELERATION AND IM AFRAID THAT I MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO EXTREMELY SLOW IF NOT ANY TAKE OFF FROM ANY STOP. I AM VERY UPSET OVER THIS ISSUE CONSIDERING EVERYTHING I HAVE READ UP ON ALL LEADS BACK TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FROM SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS, AND THE FACT THAT SEVERAL RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE DUE TO THIS, BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT THE 2017 ALTIMA? IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT THIS YEAR HAS ALSO BEEN AFFECTED. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER EXSPINCE AT THIS TIME ESPECIALLY SINCE I LOST MY JOB DUE TO COVID-19. NOW I AM UNEMPLOYED AND CANT DRIVE MY CAR DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT OBVIOUSLY SEEMS TO BE A REACCURING PROBLEM FOR NISSANS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS.

THE ISSUE HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE, THE LONGER THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS WAITING IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE AIR CONDITION RUNNING. I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE PAUSED AND LOST ACCELERTION POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS AND STARTED GOING. I THOUGH IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR CONDITION SO I TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITION TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. WHEN I GOT TO A STOP LIGHT AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE IT PAUSED AGAIN THEN ACCELERATED. THE PAUSE SEEMS TO BE FROM 5 TO 10 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD MOVE.THE LONGER THE CAR WAS RUNNING THE MORE IT HAPPENED. AT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. ON SHORTER DISTANCES THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT START BUT ON LONG DISTANCES OR ON ACCELERATION, THE PAUSE WOULD CONTINUE. FINALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO GET THE CODE CHECKED. IT WAS A P0776 CODE,"PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID B PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF" . I FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE ISSUE CHECKED AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR $6000 ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 74000 MILES. PROBLEMS 1. LOST ACCELERATION FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AGAIN 2. COMPLETELY LOST ACCELERATION AND COULD NOT MOVE AND A HILL. 3. LOST ACCELERATION ON THE FREEWAY AND BARELY MADE TO THE SIDE TO TURN OFF THE CAR. SEEING THE ISSUES FOR THE NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A TRANSMISSION THEY KNOW HAS PROBLEMS AND REPAIR THE ISSUE. THEY UPDATED THE WARRANTY UP TO 2016 BUT NOT THE 2017 OR 2018 MODELS THAT STILL HAVE ISSUES, USING THE SAME TRANSMISSION AS THE 2016 MODELS. I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN BECAUSE OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUE AND NOT CORRECTING IT.

TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP IN EARLY 2019. WENT TO DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO BE INFORMED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DEALERSHIP QUOTED US $5600 FOR THE REPAIR OF A REBUILT. WE LOOKED AT THE ERROR CODE AND SAW THAT ALL OTHER YEARS AND MODELS HAD ALREADY BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE EXACT SAME ERROR. NISSAN TOLD US THEY WOULD GIVE US "ASSISTANCE" AT 60%, WHICH STILL WAS OVER $1600 EXPENSE, FOR A CAR JUST 2 YEARS OLD. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK IT RIGHT BACK. NISSAN INFORMED ME IT WAS A FAULTY OXYGEN SENSOR. COST ANOTHER $800. WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (75MPH), MY RPM'S SHOT UP. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR BRIEFLY AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, NOTHING HAPPENED. MY CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN AND I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A GARAGE AND THEY SAID THE CAR HAD 4 ERROR CODES, ALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I AM STILL COVERED UNDER MY 5 YEAR/ 60000 MILE WARRANTY.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 NISSAN ALTIMA, WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE OR GO. AS I'M ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, MY GAUGES ARE JUMPING BUT STILL NO MOVEMENT. EVENTUALLY AFTER ME TRYING PARK/NEUTRAL, THEN BACK IN DRIVE, IT JERKED INTO GEAR. ONCE IN GEAR, MY RPM GAUGE STARTED SURGING UP AND DOWN, CAR JENKINS OUT OF CONTROL. I COASTED TO A NEARBY STORE WHERE MY DAD TOWED TO HOME, TO CHECK IT OUT. ATTEMPED TO TRY AND TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, AND IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME EXACT THING. NISSAN HAS PUT A FAULTY CVT IN THE 2017 NISSAN ALTIMA. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO NO ONE.

DELAY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, IT WONT REV OR DO ANYTHING FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL THE CAR WILL FINALLY MOVE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IN AN INTERSECTION OR SWITCHING LANES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO CODES WHEN THE DEALER TEST IT. DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN, HAD TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES, NO HELP. ONCE I TURN OFF THE CAR IT RESETS ITSELF AND WILL WORK FINE UNTIL THE NEXT STOP.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THE HOOD LATCH WHICH NISSAN HAS NO RESOLUTION FOR AT THIS TIME. FIRST- THIS SAME RECALL EXISTED ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA AND WHILE THE CURRENT RECALL IS LISTED AT JUNE 2020 FOR THE 2017 ALTIMA THIS ISSUE IS NOT NEW OR UNKNOWN TO NISSAN. THEY SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PERMANENTLY AND SAFELY RESOLVE THE ISSUES. SECOND- THE CURRENT "FIX" IS TO PRESS DOWN FIRMLY ON THE HOOD EVERY TIME BEFORE DRIVING. THIS IS NOT A RESOLUTION AND OWNERS OF VEHICLES IMPACTED BY THIS RECALL SHOULD QUALIFY FOR A MANDATORY BUY BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

OUR TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT ON 41,982 MILES, IT IS CURRENTLY GETTING "REBUILD" AT NISSAN. TOMORROW WILL MAKE IT A WEEK SINCE NISSAN HAS OUR CAR AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN WORKED ON. WE WERE TOLD IT'S IN ROTATION. NISSAN WARRENTY SUCKS, THEY HAVE US A $105 VOUCHER THAT ONLY COVERS 3 DAYS. WE LIVE IN NYC, THERE ARE NO CAR RATE FOR $35 A DAY, IT IS $65 A DAY INCLUDING TAX. NISSAN WANTS TO CONTACT OUR EXTENDED WARRENTY TOSEE IF THEY CAN COVER A PORTION OF THE RENTAL, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. IT'S THEIR FAULT FOR MAKING FAULTY TRANSMISSION, I SHOULD PAY THE COST TO RENT A CAR.
