2011 Nissan Altima

THE 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION AND THIS CONTINUES TO GO OUT AND WILL EVERY 12,000 MILES. NO SERVICE PROVIDER WANTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE UNRELIABLE PART AND NOT ONLY IS THIS IS A COSTLY FIX BUT IT ONLY GUARANTEE THE MOST A YEAR OR LESS (CLOSE TO $3000.00 TO FIX). I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE OTHER MODELS WITH NISSAN WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED. I BELIEVE ANY VEHICLE WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED.

NISSAN CVT (TRANSMISSION). THE VEHICLE WHEN IN MOTION SEEMS TO BE STUCK " IN GEAR" WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR IT FEELS RESTRAINED AND LABORED WITH A NOISY ALMOST WHINING SOUND. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO "UP-SHIFT" ALTHOUGH THE CVTS ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO NOT MAKE THE BUMPING TRANSITIONS, IT SEEMS TO BE RESTRAINING THE CAR FROM PICKING UP SPEED WITH LABORING WHINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 80-85 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO SAFETY MODE AND DECELERATED TO 70 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FLAGSTAFF NISSAN (4960 E MARKETPLACE DR, FLAGSTAFF, AZ 86004, (928) 522-6386) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COOLING COMPONENT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. IN ADDITION A TRANSMISSION FLUSH WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,836.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A WHINING NOISE DURING ACCELERATION AND THEN LOSS POWER ON THE INTERSTATE AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 40MPH EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY MAKING A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE AND RECEIVING NO ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN ON THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

AFTER AN HOUR OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, IN WARM WEATHER, TRANSMISSION GOES INTO SAFE MODE, LOSES POWER, TRANSMISSION SHUTS DOWN. PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND ZIPPO, NOTHING, NO POWER, VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ON HIGHWAY. NISSAN WAS OF NO HELP. THEIR CVT TRANNY IS HE PROBLEM. SOME MODELS WERE RECALLED ALREADY AND SOME WARRANTIES WERE EXTENDED, BUR NOT MINE. THEY WANT OVER 5 GRAND TO REPLACE TRANS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND VIBRATED MODERATELY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CROSSROADS NISSAN WAKE FOREST, 1120 CAPITAL BLVD, WAKE FOREST, NC), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FROM THE DEALER AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY THREE OTHER TIMES. AFTER ONE OF THE FAILURES, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THEY RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THEN IT EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST SINCE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,858.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
