I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM LOS ANGELES TO LAS VEGAS. WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO CROSS THE CALIFORNIA LINE INTO NEVADA, MY CAR STARTED SOUNDING LIKE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE. WE LOST SPEED AND I TRIED SHIFTING MY CVT TRANSMISSION INTO MANUAL MODE. THE SPEEDS WOULD NOT CHANGE. AFTER MAKING AN EMERGENCY STOP. I PUT THE CAR ON REVERSE AND THEN SHIFTED TO DRIVE AGAIN. THE CAR WOULD MOVE, BUT THE SPEED WOULD NOT CHANGE. AS SOON AS I ARRIVE TO VEGAS, MY CAR LOST ALL SPEED AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE IN DIRECT OR REVERSE. SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE CAR. I PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY TO TOW THE CAR TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALER, THE CAR WOULD TURN ON, THE ENGINE WAS WORKING, BUT THE DASHBOARD WOULD NOT TURN ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE EITHER IN DIRECT OR REVERSE. I BOUGHT THE NISSAN ALTIMA BRAND NEW FROM THE BUENA PARK NISSAN DEALER IN CALIFORNIA. THE CAR HAS HAD ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND I EVEN TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED AT 48,000 MILES. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS 72,345 MILES IN IT. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER IN VEGAS, ANOTHER PERSON CAME IN WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. HER VEHICLE HAD 75,000 MILES AND IT HAD BEEN SERVICED AT THE VEGAS DEALER DAY PRIOR TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING. *TR

NISSAN ALTIMA 2006 MANUAL TRANSMISSION: CLUTCH LOSSES PRESSURE. I HAVE TAKEN CAR IN TO NISSAN FOR ISSUE. VEHICLE BOUGHT IN AUG 2006. APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS LATER ISSUE BEGAN. CLUTCH DROPS DOWN WHILE CAR IN MOTION. MANUALLY MOVE CLUTCH BACK UP WITH FOOT. WHEN FIRST TAKEN INTO NISSAN (WINDWARD NISSAN, HONOLULU HI) WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. CLUTCH CONTINUED WITH ISSUE VERY INTERMITTENLY. UPON ARRIVAL TO SAN DIEGO CA, I DECIDED TO TAKE TO MOSSY NISSAN (NATIONAL CITY). I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH. I WAS REFFERED TO NISSAN 1 FOR ASSISTANCE. NISSAN COVERED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH. IT HAS THEN BEEN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AND ISSUE PERSISTS. NOW CLUTCH DROPS AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND SEE IF CLUTCH COMES BACK UP. CANNOT PUT VEHICLE IN GEAR WHILE CLUTCH IS DOWN. I GOOGLED "CLUTCH ISSUES WITH NISSAN VEHICLES" AND THERE WAS A LINK TO YOUR WEBSITE. *TR

I EXPRESSED SEVERAL TIME OF HOW IT HAS PUT ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHILE DRIVING AND GOT THE SORRY BOUT YOUR LUCK TUNE. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED IT RESULTED IN MY WIFE HAVING A WRECK IN THE CAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE FILED TWO COMPLAINTS WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND GET THE SAME TREATMENT. *KB
