A FEW MONTHS BACK I TOOK MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA, 4-CYLINDER TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL THAT WAS IN CONNECTION WITH RECALL WITH THE SOFTWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION OF SOME SORT. I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTICE BUT WAS ADVISED OF THIS RECALL WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO NISAAN TO GET SERVICES FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED. SINCE HAVING THE RECALL COMPLETE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. AT TIMES I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR SHUDDERS AND LOSES POWER. I HAVE COME CLOSE TWICE TO AN AUTO COLLISION AS I AM SHIFTING LANES MY CAR COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AND DROPS SPEED WITHOUT MY CONTROL WITH HE RPM DROPPING DRASTICALLY BUT REGAINING WITHIN SECONDS. THE CAR JERKS AND SHUDDERS. I HAVE HAD ANOTHER FAMILY TEST AS WELL AND HAS SAID THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND SOMETHING IS WRONG. I RESEARCHED AND SEE A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE TO THIS PARTICULAR YEAR AND MODEL. I AM TAKING TO THE DEALER TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETE AND HAVE EXPLAINED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS FINE PRIOR TO THE SOFTWARE ADJUSTMENT WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE ISSUES AND POSSIBLY I WILL GET STUCK WITH PAYING WHATEVER REPAIRS. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A TRANSMISSION DEFECT THAT THOUSANDS OF NISSAN OWNERS ARE HAVING THE ISSUES AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE TO REMEDY THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE INVESTIGATION TO BE DONE ON THIS AND IN THE EVENT THAT WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND THIS OCCURS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT I WILL HOLD THE MANUFACTURER AT FAULT FOR ALLOWING THIS VEHICLE TO GO UN-REPAIRED FOR A FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT AS BEING A "LEMON OF A CAR" AND "UNSAFE." THE DATE THIS ISSUE LAST OCCURRED WITH ME DRIVING MY VEHICLE WAS AROUND 8:30A.M. ON JANUARY 5, 2018.

WHILE COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR SHOOK TO A STOP , ENGINE REVVED UP AND SHUT OFF.. I WAS AT A BUSY STOP LIGHT INTERSECTION. I TURNED CAR ENGINE BACK ON AND PRESS THE GAS PEDAL , THEN CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. I TRIED ONE MORE TIME AND WAS ABLE TO STEER CAR INTO PARLOR. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR, HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC HAS THE VEHICLE GOR 18 DAYS AND CANNOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE OUR PROBLEM. I GOLFED THIS PROBLEMS AND THERE IS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM WITH CARS THAT GAVE THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. THE CAR COULD SHUT DOWN AND CAUSE ACCIDENT AND WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. PLEASE HELP, THIS IS DANGEROUS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH OF MY HEADLAMPS ARE DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN HAS RECOGNIZED THIS AS A MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT BUT HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL. THEY ARE ONLY COVERING THE PARTS AND NOT LABOR. BY ACCEPTING TO PAY PART IS AN ADMISSION OF GUILT ON NISSAN'S PART. THE NISSAN DEALER'S MECHANIC (CORAL SPRINGS NISSAN 954-753-1700)HAS ADMITTED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THESE TYPE OF VEHICLES. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHTS WITH THE HEADLAMPS AND CAN CAUSE A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT. AN INTERNET SEARCH WILL ALSO CONFIRM THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION "INTERNAL FAILURE" DETERMINED BY NISSAN MECHANIC ON 3 YEAR OLD ALTIMA AND NISSAN IS USING LOOPHOLE TO GET OUT OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I'M OVER ON MILES SO THEY WON'T PAY FOR IT. IT'S 3 YEARS OLD! THIS CAR STALLED ON HIGHWAY 30. I WAS TOTALLY FREAKED OUT. WHEN I TRIED TO GO IT ROLLED BACKWARDS AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. CARS WERE FLYING BY ME HONKING AND PEOPLE YELLING AT ME. THIS CAR IS THREE YEARS OLD! APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY MORE LIKE IT OUT THERE AND NISSAN IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM! THEY WANT $4196 TO REPLACE IT OR A NEW CAR FOR MORE PAYMENT, SALES TAX AND INSURANCE. I'M RACKING UP RENTAL CAR COSTS AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $89 FOR DIAGNOSTICS WHEN I ALREADY HAD IT DONE AND TOLD THEM IT NEEDED A TRANSMISSION! THE NISSAN CONSUMER COMPLAINT LADY, THE SERVICE GUY, THE MECHANIC AND THE SALES GUY AT SUNTRUP NISSAN ALL AGREED THAT THIS TRANS MISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT AT 3 YEARS OLD. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON SOME ALTIMA'S BUT NOT ON MINE! SUNTRUP NISSAN HAS MY CAR NOW. IT WILL NOT GO AT ALL. I ASKED FOR EITHER THEY PAY FOR THE TRANS OR PUT ME IN A NEW CAR AT SAME PAYMENT EVEN WITH HIGHER INSURANCE AND SALES TAX. THEY WON'T DO EITHER AND I HAVE TO PAY THE $89 DIAGNOSTICS. TERRIBLE FOR A REPEAT CUSTOMER. THIS IS MY 3RD NISSAN - 2 OF WHICH I BOUGHT FROM NISSAN SUNTRUP!

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE , I TOOK VERY GOOD CAR THE CAR THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT NEW FROM. I FOLLOWED ALL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST QUIT ON ME NO WARNING JUST DONE. IT WILL COST ME 4500$ OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX. THE DEALERSHIP HELPED ME FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN USA TO HELP. THE ANSWER FROM NISSAN WAS WE CANT HELP YOU WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION BUT WE CAN OFFER $1500 FOR A NEW NISSAN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THESES CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE CONSISTENTLY FAILING ON NISSANS. AS THE CONSUMER WE ARE GETTING FINANCIALLY KILLED BY THIS. ACTION IS REQUIRED AGAINST NISSAN THEY KNOW THERE IS A ISSUE YET THEY ARE STILL ALLOWED TO SELL AND NOT STAND BEHIND A MAJOR PART OF THEIR VEHICLES. PLEASE DO SOMETHING THIS IS DANGEROUS. I COULD HAVE BEEN AT AN INTERSECTION OR IN TRAFFIC.
