2012 Nissan Altima

SINCE WHEN MY CAR HAD 31,000 MILES IT'S BEEN WINGING AND LOSING POWER RAPIDLY, NO ACCELERATION, IT'S A CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE. IT'S A REALLY DANGEROUS CAR. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SO MANY TIMES . NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION ARE VERY DANGER. IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FREEWAY BECAUSE IT CAN GO FROM 65 MPH DOWN TO 5 MPH RAPIDLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND PROTECT THE LIFE OF PEOPLE.

THE 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE 3.5 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN SUDDEN LOSS OF CLUTCH PRESSURE OCCURRED. THIS RESULTED IN THE INABILITY TO CHANGE GEARS AND THEREFORE EFFECTIVELY CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SPEED SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE GIVEN GEAR. THIS WAS THE RESULT OF A FAULTY CONCENTRIC CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER.

MY 2012 ALTIMA 2.5S HAS SHUT DOWN TRANSMISSION WISE(CVT) AND IT WILL NOT SPEED UP EVEN WHEN GAS PEDAL IS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR! TODAY IT DID THIS FOR A TOTAL OF 120 MILES...THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU CANT GET YOUR CAR OUT OF THE WAY OF EVEN GET TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN THE GAS IS PUSHED DOWN...I BARELY MADE IT HOME TODAY WITH OF COURSE A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR AND MY CAR WOULDNT RESPOND...I GOOGLED "2012 ALTIMA WILL NOT SPEED UP GOING UPHILL" WHAT I FOUND ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT...WHATS IT GOING TO TAKE? SOMEONE GETTING KILLED WHICH IS WHAT IT USUALLY TAKES TO GET SOMETHING POSITIVE DONE? NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS IMMEDIATELY..

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 75MPH, MY CAR JUST STOPPED GOING. I DECELERATED VERY QUICKLY. I WAS PRESSING GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED. IT JUST WOULD NOT GO. THE RPMS WENT OVER 3,000. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ANY WARNING IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THIS EVENT THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THERE WERE A LOT OF VEHICLES ON ROAD AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME AND A TRUCK HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING BEHIND ME. THE TRUCK AND OTHER VEHICLES WERE ALL SWERVING ON EITHER SIDE OF ME TO GET OUT OF MY LANE AND AS A RESULT, I COULD NOT GET MY VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD UNTIL THEY ALL PASSED. AS I KEPT COASTING ALONG WAITING FOR OPPORTUNITY TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, I KEPT PRESSING GAS PEDAL. EVENTUALLY THAT WORKED AND I BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN, BUT MY CAR WAS ACCELERATING VERY SLOWLY. I DROVE TO EXIT AND GOT OFF OF HIGHWAY. I WAITED ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE RETURNING HOME SAME WAY. ON DRIVE HOME ACCELERATING WAS SLOW AND RPMS WERE ERRACTIC. THERE WAS ALSO A WHINING NOISE WHEN I GAVE CAR GAS. THIS HAPPENED ONCE MORE. I NO LONGER DRIVE CAR ON HIGHWAY SO I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED IT STOPPING WHILE DRIVING, BUT IT STILL WHINES, ACCELERATES SLOWLY, AND RPMS ARE ERRATIC. VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED AT SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALERSHIP. MY CAR ONLY HAS 108,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE NEVER MISSED ANY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WHICH DEALERSHIP PERFORMED MAJORITY OF IT. THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY COVERED UP TO 60,000 MILES. NOW I'M TOLD THAT AT 108,000 MILES, I NEED A NEW TCC, VALVE BODY, AND SOLENOIDS.

AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE FOR 1 HOUR OR MORE, VEHICLE GOES INTO FAIL-SAFE MODE, MEANING THE RPMS WILL NOT GO OVER 2500. SO, IF ONE IS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH, THEN ARRIVES AT A HILL, THEN THE VEHICLE SPEED COULD DECREASE TO 40 MPH. ACCORDING TO MECHANIC, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NISSAN HAS A SERVICE KIT FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I AM NOT SURE WHY IT IS NOT A RECALL...
