2012 Nissan Altima

IN WARM OR HOT WEATHER, 75 DEGREES F OR ABOVE, THE TRANSMISSION GETS HOT AND FAILS TO PULL. IT GOES INTO SOME TYPE OF MODE THAT SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY RESET THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES OF LETTING THE CAR SIT WITH NOTHING ON. THE CAR WILL CONTINUE FOR A WHILE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME APPROXIMATELY TEN TIMES. THE TRIPS THAT IT HAPPENS ON ARE OVER 75-80 MILES. PLEASE REPLY WITH A POSSIBLE REMEDY. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE 135,000 MILES ON MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. AND I STARTED HEARING A WHINING NOISE AND ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THEY SAID THAT'S JUST HOW THE ALTIMA SOUNDS. NOW I AM HAVING TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THAT'S GOING TO COST ME 4,000.00. I RESEARCHED TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON THE INTERNET AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. GOING UP A HILL THE CAR WOULD WHINE OR WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR STARTED TO JERK UPON PULLING OFF AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL I LET OFF THE BRAKE THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN.

CVT TRANSMISSION ARE NOT , NOT CARS! THERE WAS A RECALL UP TO 2010, BUT THEY CONTINUED TO MAKE THEM WITH CVT! OFTEN WHEN DRIVING MY CAR IT LOSE ALL ACCELERATION! I WENT TO NISSAN AND THERE WAS NO ISSUE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL AND THEY SAID THAT DUE TO THIS BEING THE MAIN JOB OF THE CHT, THEY SAID A COOLING KIT CAN BE INSTALLED, WHICH IT WAS. 2 YEARS LATER, MY CAR AGAIN SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL. MY GEAR SHIFT MOVES SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES, JUST NO ACCELERATION THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW OVER 10 TIMES IN 2 DAYS!!!!!! BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS NOT SHOWING ON DIAGNOSTIC, THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT THE CARS TRANSMISSION, TRANS FLUID, OR THE GEAR SHIFT. THEY WOULDN'T DO A THING TO MY CAR! THIS IS FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH UNSAFE CONDITIONS! I AM TAKING INTO A REAL AND HONEST MECHANIC!! NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE AND THAT MANY DRIVERS ARE DRIVING DANGEROUSLY, AS THEY REFUSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING!!! THERE IS NO DIPSTICK TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OR ELSE I WOULD DO IT MYSELF. DO THE RIGHT THING AND SAVE MANY PEOPLE FROM GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS AND POTENTIALLY LOSING THEIR LIVES!!! COMING OFF AN OFF RAMP, NO ACCELERATION; DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY NO ACCELERATION, PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AFTER WARMING MY CAR UP NON ACCELERATION. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL!!!!! THIS ISSUE BEGAN 2-3 YEARS AGO, WAS TEMPORARILY FIXED WIT THE COOLING KIT THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET, AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST 5 DAYS!!!! GOOGLE THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND NISSAN OFFERING NO HELP NOR EVEN A SIMPLE MECHANIC ONCE OVER LOOK!!!! I AM A SOCIAL WORKER WHO WORKS WITH CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE, OFTEN TRANPORTING THEM FROM UNSAFE CONDITIONS TO SITUATIONS THAT I AM PROMISING ARE MORE SAFE AND COMFORTABLE! I CAN NO LONGER PROMISE THEM THIS IF MY CAR IS UNSAFE!! I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A MINIMUM OF 5 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! DEALERSHIP NO HELP!!

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW IT REFUSED TO MAINTAIN MY SPEED OR ACCELERATE AT ALL. I HAD TO PULL INTO THE MEDIAN TO AVOID BEING HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER. I HAD MY SISTER AND TWO OF OUR LITTLE KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME IT HAS DONE THIS IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND THE MECHANICS CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE READ SEVERAL PLACES WHERE OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.... I BELIEVE THEIR IS A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT WITH EITHER THE ACCELERATION OR TRANSMISSION.... IT JUST REVS UP SOUNDS LIKE IT'S DOING SOMETHING BUT NOT INCREASING SPEED. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT OCCURS MOSTLY AFTER I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING A WHILE...LIKE ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF OR SO
