2012 Nissan Altima

2012 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S SEDAN, PURCHASED NEW PLUS EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH 3 MILES ON IT. AT 64K MILES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER ABOUT A. HOUR AT NORMAL SPEEDS ON A HOT DAY THE CAR STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE BECAME SLUGGISH AND THE SPEED REDUCED TO 60MPH. THE RPM GAUGE BEGAN TO RISE ANT THE CAR BEGAN TO DECREASE IT'S SPEED EVENTUALLY DESCENDING TO 20 MPH WHILE THE RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATED FROM 2K TO 5K RPM. THE GAS PEDAL WAS NON RESPONSIVE EXCEPT FOR A LOUDER WHINING NOISE AS IT WAS PRESSED . WE PULLED OVER FOR A WHILE AND THE VEHICLE WENT TO NORMAL. THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE WE ARRIVED HOME. THE DEALER RESPONDED STATING A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED BUT NOT COVERED THEY SAID MY WARRANTY WAS NOT VALID. I COMPLAINED, THEY CONTACTED HEADQUARTERS I GUESS AND STATED TO ME BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNDER 70K MILES THE COMPANY WOULD PAY PARTIAL FOR THE REPAIR BUT MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 1200. NOT ONLY DID I THINK THIS WAS UNFAIR BUT I ALSO DIDN'T HAVE AN EXTRA 1200 LYNG AROUND. SO UNFORTUNATELY I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS CAR DRIVES FINE FOR ABOUT 40 MIN. SO NO LONG COMMUTES.

MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS BOUGHT AT 40K MILES. IT RAN GOOD FOR WAS MAINTAINED. AT 108K MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 6TH GEAR (CVT TRANSMISSION) AND WOULD EVENTUALLY LOSE POWER AND NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSION BUT THEY WERE ONLY FOR THE PRIOR YEAR MODELS SO THERE WAS NOTHING I CAN DO. IT IS NOW AT 120K MILES AND IT HASN'T GOTTEN SO BAD I CAN'T DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT COMPLETELY DIAGNOSED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT THREW WHAT THEY REFER TO AS A 'DEATH CODE' AND SAID IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY DIES. I'M A STUDENT AND IN THE MILITARY SO I STAY VERY BUSY AND MY CAR NOT BEING RELIABLE HAS PUT A STOP TO EVERYTHING. A TRANSMISSION GOING BAD AT 120K MILES SHOULD NOT BE A THING. I TRULY FEEL CHEATED BY NISSAN WITH THIS CAR.

ONGOING ISSUE WHERE VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING FURTHER DISTANCES (30-40 MILES) OR UPHILL IN THE MOUNTAINS AND IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. DRIVER IS FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WAIT UNTIL VEHICLE CAN COOL DOWN AND GAIN POWER AGAIN. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS OR EXTENDED THE WARRANTY AS IT IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE SITUATION.

THIS CAR HAS JUST 101,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT DOING THE OVERDRIVE. I READ INTO IT AND ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM NISSAN SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLES AND FIX IT ITS NOT LIKE WE PAY 5 BUCKS FOR A CAR ITS NOT EVEN PAID OFF AND I ALREADY HAVE PROBLEMS. I WENT TO SEE WHAT WRONG AND ITS THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH. *TR

SO I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2014 AT TONY NISSAN WAIPIO AND HAD CNA MANUFACTURED WARRANTY..WHICH IS A GOOD WARRANTY.BUT I COME TO REALIZE EVER SINCE.MY MANUFACTURED WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 2019, AND I ROUTINELY BRING MY CAR IN FOR OIL AND OIL FILTER MAINTENANCE EVERY 3 MONTHS, AND EACH TIME I WOULD BRING IT IN. MECHANICS AND SERVICE ADVISORS SEEMS TO FIND A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR..AND ASK IF I WANTED IT TO BE FIXED OR REPLACED, MAJORITY OF THE TIME. I WILL ASKED IF MY AUL WARRANTY WILL COVER, FOR THE PARTS AND LABORS..I WOULD SAY 80 PERCENT OF MY WARRANTY COVERS..SOME. DONT.BUT TO MAKE MY COMPLAINT SHORTER ..EACH TIME I WOULD BRING IT IN TO TONY NISSAN FOR A REPAIR..NOT EVEN 3 MONTHS AFTER, ANOTHER PROBLEMS.COME ABOUT..AT THIS TIME I'M GETTING VERY SCARED AND AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY IN DRIVING MY CAR.ESPECIALLY.WHEN I HAVE MY 6 YEAR OLD GRANDSON THAT I PICK UP FROM SCHOOL..AND I'M BEGINNING TO NOT HAVE FAITH IN THEM AND I'M REALLY HAVING TRUST ISSUES, WITH EITHER THE MECHANICS OR SERVICE ADVISORS..AT TONY NISSAN .I CAN SHOW PROOFS OF DOCUMENTS THAT I HAVE ALL MY INVOICES DATED FROM 2014 UNTIL NOW OF 2020..OF ALL SERVICES AND REPAIRS THEY HAVE CLAIMED THEY DONED ON MY CAR..JUST RECENTLY I ASKED FOR MY OLD PARTS BACK, TO SEE IF THEY GOT IT REPLACED..THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND IGNITION COIL #3..MY UPCOMING REPAIR WILL BE ALTERNATOR AND DRIVE BELT..I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR IN EITHER 02/25/2020 OR 02/26/2020..IN THE AFTERNOON.THANK YOU VERY MUCH, FOR THE HELP AND CONCERNS.PLEASE REPLY BACK TO ME IF MY CAR WAS SOLD TO ME AS A LEMON OR ANY RECALLS..I'VE BE GLAD TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS TO THE PRESIDENT OF THAT COMPANY..BUT I ALWAYS GET TALKED TO THE OTHER STAFFS THAT WORKS FOR HIM...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A LOUD WHINING NOISE AND REVVED UP TO ABOUT 6400 RPM'S AND MY CAR HAD NO ACCELERATION FROM THAT TIME ON.. NOW I'M FACING EITHER PAYING $3400 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION OR JUST TRASHING A PERFECTLY WELL KEPT UP CAR. I'VE ALWAYS MADE SURE TO HAVE MY CAR COMPLETELY SERVICED AND MAINTAINED ON TIME. AFTER THIS I WILL NEVER BUY FROM NISSAN AGAIN. THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE HORRIBLE. NISSAN IS LOOKING AFTER THEIR PROFIT INSTEAD OF RELIABILITY. THIS IS A 2012 ALTIMA WITH 125000 MILES.

NISSAN ALTIMA 2012 2.5S MODEL AT 115000 MILES :WITHOUT INDICATION THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY COULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED AND RPM WOULD GO UP TILL 4000-5000, ALSO THE VEHICLE COULD NOT RUN OVER 65MPH: THE SPEED WAS LOCKED UP WHILE RPM KEPT GOING UP TILL 3500-4000 I HAD A NEAR MISS FROM AN SEVERE FREEWAY ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THAT PROBLEM AND DARE NOT DRIVE ON FREEWAY AFTER THAT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE FAILURE PATTERN WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS OLDER MODELS(03-10) OF NISSAN ALTIMA, WHERE THE WARRANTY IS EXTENDED TO 120000 MILES FOR TRANSMISSION. COST MORE THAN 3500 TO REPAIR AND ALL THE MECHANICS I MET WOULD CALL THOSE TRANSMISSION UNITS JUNK AND SOME OF THEM HAD MULTIPLE NISSAN ALTIMA UNDER REPAIR WITH THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.
