ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
STARTED VEHICLE THIS MORNING AND PUT IN REVERSE AND PRESSED THE PEDAL TO BACK OUT AND HAD A DELAYED REACTION AND THE RPM'S JUST INCREASED. THE CAR DID NOT MOVE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR TO FIVE SECONDS AND FINALLY BACKED OUT. PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND DROVE TOWARD A STOP SIGN APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS AWAY AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND AGAIN THE RPM'S INCREASED BUT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD NOT MOVE. DROVE VEHICLE BACK HOME AND WITH SAME ISSUES AND PARKED FOR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES. TRIED TO DUPLICATE BUT DROVE JUST FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WHILE AT A RED LIGHT ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. TRIED ACCELERATING AND WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. PLACED IN PARK, CUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND IT DARTED OFF. LUCKILY, THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS BUT HAVE CONCERNS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. THIS ALTIMA ON HAS OVER 53K MILES AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT HAVE READ SEVERAL STATEMENTS ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NOT SURE WHY NISSAN HAS NOT PLACED A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT IS VERY UNSAFE.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH A LOT OF STOPPING AND STARTING, THE CAR HESITATES FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS AFTER A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY YET BUT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE!

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
16 NISSAN ALTIMA SOMETIMES HAS ABOUT A 5 SECOND DELAY IN ACCELERATION AS CAR JUST IDLES AND SLOWLY ROLLS AHEAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE TAKING OFF AND CROSSING ON COMING TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE IT DOESNT SHOW AN ERROR CODE. SAME WITH NISSAN USA CORPERATION. SAYS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTILL SHOWS A CODE OR FAILS COMPLETELY. SO BASICALL THEY ARE SAYING THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE? NEW TRANSMISSION ABOUT 4500 DOLLARS. MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 90,000 MILES, WICH IS AN AFTERMARKET WARRANTY THAT I PAID 2500 $ FOR. IM SURE THAT THEY HOPE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES SO I GET THE BILL. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND FOOTPEDAL POSITION SENSORS AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. HOW CAN THEY BE IN BUISNESS? HOW VAN THEY TELL ME IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. I THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

AIR BAGS
I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS AN USED VEHICLE. THE CARFAX REPORT SHOWED A MINOR INCIDENT ON THE FRONT, BUT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE IS AN AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH CONTINUES TO GLOW WHEN I RUN THE VEHICLE. I ASKED MY SERVICE ADVISOR IN "NISSAN OF OMAHA" TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. HE REPLIED THE AIRBAG MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED COMPLETELY AND IT WOULD COST ME $2300. I DOUBT IF THIS IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE SERVICE DEALER IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR. IN ADDITION TO THIS NOW THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT UP SHIFT FOR ROAD SPEED. VEHICLE, WHEN PLACED IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, WILL REV UP WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED BUT NOT WHILE TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED IN DRIVE. AGAIN THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 4-6 MONTHS. THE SHIFTING EPISODE OCCURRED IN ADDITION TO THE AFORE MENTIONED PROBLEM TODAY 20 OCT 2019.

THE CAR STARTED SHACKING ONCE IT WOULD GO ABOUT 25-30 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AFTER AND IT WAS READ BY A MECHANIC AS A CODE P0841-TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY DRIVING.

WHEN IT DOES IT FAILS TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD, WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED.

AIR BAGS
I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN A CRASH, YET DISCOVERED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON UPON FURTHER INSPECTION (AFTER PURCHASE). I KNOW SIMILAR MODEL YEARS HAD AIRBAG RECALLS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IF I WERE TO CRASH THE SRS SYSTEM AND THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. HOW CAN A DEALER SELL YOU A VEHICLE THAT ISN'T SAFE TO OPERATE? I JUST WANT TO ENSURE THERE ISN'T A KNOWN PROBLEM BEFORE I SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS JUST TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OPERATING MY VEHICLE; EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD HAVE CAME THAT WAY. ALSO, INTERMITTENTLY THE SEATBELT LIGHT WILL COME ON EVEN WHEN I AM BUCKLED UP.

POWER TRAIN
ON THE 14TH OF JUNE, 2019 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. WHEN SUDDENLY I FELT MY CAR POWER DECREASING AS I PRESSED THE GAS. SOON AS THAT HAPPEN I NEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG SO FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHER I TOOK THE NEAREST EXITED TO LOCAL STREET AND FOUND A SAFE AREA TO CHECK MY CAR. TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND I STARTED DRIVING SGAIN IT SEEMED LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED BUT AFTER ABOUT 10 LATER IT COMPLETELY LOST POWER NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED THE GAS. SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND WE TOOK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND I FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR HAS DIED AND IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. AND THAT WILL COST ME ALOT OF MONEY. SO I CALLED A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WILL. COST ME $3000 FOR NEW TRANSMISSION. SO MY NEXT OPTION WAS TO CHECK WITH NISSAN IF THEY WILL HELP ME SO I CALLED THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE SO THEY ASKED HOW MUCH MILES I HAD IN THE CAR AND I TOLD THEM 70,000 MILES. BUT SADLY THEY TOLD ME MY WARRANT END AT 60,000 MILES. I NEED MY CAR FOR WORK SO AT THE END IT TOOK ABOUT A WEEK TO GET IT FIXED AND COSTED ME AROUND $2000. WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH WITH THIS CAR. WHAT SURPRISED ME IS THAT I ALWAYS TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT SINCE THE FIRST TIME I GOT IT I MADE SURE ALL MAINTENANCE THAT WAS NEEDED FOR IT WAS DONE BUT I WAS SURPRISED THAT MY TRANSMISSION DIED AT ONLY 70,000 MILES. SO HOPEFULLY THIS HELP IN ANYWAY FOR OTHER WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 30 MILES AN HOUR, WHEN I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION TO TAKE A TIGHT HAND TURN I WAS YIELDING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMPLETELY STOPPED . WHEN I WENT TO SLIGHTLY MOVE FORWARD TO SEE IF I HAD THE RIGHT AWAY MY CAR JOLTED FORWARD. JUST SPED UP AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO DE ACCELERATION. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO CHILDREN CROSSING A SIDE WALK. THE ACCELERATION WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OTHER TIMES JUST NOT AS SIGNIFICANT. I DID NOTICE IT'S HAPPENING WHOLE MY AC IS ON.
