2014 Nissan Altima Power Train

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE (CAR DOES NOT MOVE IN DRIVE OR ANY OTHER SHIFT POSITION. *TR

JUNE 2019, VEHICLE STARTED TO JUDDER, SHAKE AND STALLED OUT AT RED LIGHT. PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. APPROACHING ANOTHER SET OF LIGHTS, VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN AND THE JUDDER AND SHAKING BEGAN, I DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP SO THE CAR DID NOT STALL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I THEN LET THE CAR SIT FOR 2 DAYS BEFORE I DROVE IT AGAIN AND WHEN I TEST DROVE IT AFTER THOSE 2 DAYS, THE CAR SEEMED TO BE BETTER, IT DID NOT STALL OUT. IT DID SHAKE A LITTLE AND JUDDER. NO PROBLEMS LIKE THAT OCCURRED UNTIL 3/9/2020. APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, CAR JUDDERS, STARTED SHAKING AND STALLED OUT. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, RESTARTED, FROM PARK TO DRIVE, IT STALLED. I REPEATED THIS PROCESS FOR 5 MINUTES. I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND PHYSICALLY PUSH THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. 3/10/2020 DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE VEHICLE ON MY WAY THERE. JUDDERING, SHAKING AND STALLING. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND MAKE SURE I DID NOT LET THE VEHICLE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE IT WOULD STALL OUT. I WENT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THAT WAS THE EASIEST ROUTE. THE ENTIRE TIME THE CAR WAS SHAKING AND I WAS GOING 60MPH, WHICH WAS 5MPH UNDER SPEED LIMIT. PARKED THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. EXPLAINED TO THE TECHNICIANS WHAT WAS WRONG, ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS TOOK MY VEHICLE FROM WHERE I PARKED AND BROUGHT IT INTO THE GARAGE. HE CONFIRMED MY CAR WAS JUDDERING, SHAKING AND STALLED. THEY NOTIFIED ME THE CAR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE LOOKED AT POSSIBLY UNTIL 3/16. MY CAR SAT THERE FOR A FEW DAYS, LIKE IT DID BACK IN 2019 WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED. UPON FURTHER REVIEW OF THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALLING, JUDDERING AND SHAKING. SO THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION INSTEAD THEY REPLACED THE VALVE PIPE

ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN, ABOUT 10 FEET LATER THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. NEITHER REVERSE OR FORWARD GEARS WORKED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE RUNS NORMALLY AND NO ABNORMAL NOISES. ENDED UP HAVING TO PUSH THE CAR TO THE NEAREST SAFE AREA AND WAITED FOR A TOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SUDDEN TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT JUST OVER 50,000 MILES THE SHOP HAS QUOTED ME $4000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CITING THEY HAVE SEEN MANY FAILURES ON THE NISSAN CVT'S AND DO NOT RECOMMEND REPAIRING THEM.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE RPM DIAL STARTED TO MOVE UP AND DOWN AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLIP GEARS. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO GO INTO TOP GEAR, STRUGGLED TO GO UP HILLS, BEGAN SHIFTING GEARS ERRATICALLY, AND COULD NOT ACELERATE PAST 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR FELT VERY HURKY JERKY AND THE RIDE WAS THE OPPPOSITE OF SMOOTH. THIS PERSISTED FOR OVER SEVERAL MILES. I GOT THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. ACCORDING TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT I AM INVOLVED IN THAT NISSAN LOST, ON JUNE 9, 2019, NISSAN WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR. THE CASE IS CHRISTOPHER GANN ET AL. V. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, CASE NUMBER 3:18-CV-00966, IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE. MY CAR IS AT THE ROCKLAND NISSAN DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW AT 845 -358-6700 AND THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH ACCORDING TO THE LEGAL DEAL THEY MADE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO EXTEND OUR WARRANTY 24 MONTHS OR 24,000 MILES AND PAY FOR ANY SERVICING OF OUR TRANSMISSION.

BOUGHT A USED 2014 ALTIMA FROM HENDRICK CHEVY IN MERRIAM KANSAS. TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND DID NOT GIVE ANY INDICATION VIA CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR FAILURE CODES. ACCELERATION WAS SEVERELY DELAYED FROM A STOP NEARLY CAUSING ME TO WRECK WHEN THROTTLE REAPONSE AND ACCELERATION WAS NEAR ZERO.

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. ONE MORNING AFTER HAVING DROVE ABOUT 15 MILES ON THE CITY STREET, TURNING MY CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, MY CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF WHEN PUT IN DRIVE. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. MY MECHANIC CALLED NISSAN AND GAVE THEM THE FAILURE CODE. HE WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. IT WAS LOCKED AND SO THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THIS AND OTHER COMPLAINTS. NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL ON THE CVT REPROGRAMMING, BUT I THINK THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS THEY INSTALLED THESE CARS THAN THAT. REPROGRAMMING THE CVT IS SIMPLE FOR THEM, IT'S JUST A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. NOW I'M FINDING OUT THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAILING (LOCKING UP) ON THOUSANDS OF CARS. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE REPAIRS.

THE CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPEN ON MORE THAT 4 TIMES BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE IS WAS DIAGNOSED TO FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 81K MILES ON IT. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHUTTERING DURING DRIVING AND IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO COVER THE COST OF WHAT THEY CAUSED

TAKATA RECALL MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA STARTED LOSING POWER AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS BACK IN MAY 2019 WITH NO INDICATION WHY AS THERE WAS NO 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' AND IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND WHATEVER THEY TOLD ME TO REPAIR I DID. IT CONTINUED SPORADICALLY STALLING (LOSING POWER DOWN TO UNDER 30MPH)IN JUNE, JULY,AUGUST & NOW SEPTEMBER-DURING THIS TIME WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, CHANGE THE FILTERS, FINALLY TUNING UP THE CAR LAST WEEK WEDNESDAY! DIDN'T DRIVE IT THURSDAY-MONDAY NOW THIS MORNING TUESDAY IT STALLED AND START LOSING POWER AGAIN! STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NOW AFTER TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING I WAS JUST CALLED BY CONICELLI SERVICE REP TELLING ME THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE!!! AT 125000 - 5YRS OLD ! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THIS IS OUR 8TH NISSAN AND ALL THE PREVIOUS ONES LAST UP TO 27700 MILES AND NEVER REPLACED A TRANSMISSION!! THIS IS DEFINITELY A LEMON AND NISSAN USA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING! REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OR BUY IT BACK!!

I PARKED THE CAR WENT INTO A STORE LEFT THE CAR RUNNING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE CVT TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I KNOW THERE ARE NO GEARS IN CVT BUT I COULD ONLY GO 20 MPH ON THE ROAD AND HIGHWAY, VERY DANGEROUS. I MADE IT HOME, AND THE NEXT MORNING, THE TRANSMISSION WAS OK.

I PUCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 7/2016 USED WITH 47,000 MILES. NEVER RAN GREAT. NEEDED NEW CVT TRANSMISSION AT 63000. MILES. WAS REPAIRED .. NOW 99,347. MILES FAILURE OF CVT TRASMISSION AGAIN. CAR ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. DEALER SAYS NOT THEIR PROBLEM VEHICLE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN STEPPED ON PEDAL. CARS DRIVING TOWARD ME IN ANTICIPATION OF ME MOVING PUT ME IN GRAVE AND DIRE HARMS WAY

AFTER DRIVING FOR A LITTLE WHILE THERE WOULD BE NO WARNING NO LIGHTS COME ON AND I WOULD COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGHT, OR TRAFFIC AND THEN WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ABOUT 5-10SECONDS THEN WOULD EVENTUALLY TAKE OFF AT A HIGH RATE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE IS NO STOPPING IT IF A CAR IS COMING FROM ANOTHER DIRECTION IT COULD EASILY END UP IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT AND THERE IS NO STOPPING IT

WHILE ON A 70MPH HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE STARTED SPUTTERING AND WOULD NOT RETAIN SPEED. I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, AND IT WAS LOSING SPEED AT AN ALARMING RATE. I WAS NOW GOING 35 ON A 70MPH ROAD. I PULLED TO THE BERM, WITH MY HAZARDS ON, AND TRIED TO REGAIN NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FOUND A SAFE SPOT TO PARK, HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED (USAA INSURANCE) TO A MECHANIC. MECHANIC COULD NOT REGISTER CODE, HE TOWED IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC. CVT TRANSMISSION WENT. KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ALTIMA'S. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOME STATE ($500, NO RECEIPT, AS IT IS NOT HERE YET). NEED TO TAKE IT TO AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER AND PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET(37-3900, NO RECEIPT, CAN NOT AFFORD IT). HAD TO RENT A CAR TO GET HOME ($300, MY SISTER RENTED IT). I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR, READY FOR VACATION, AND THEY WERE SCARED WE WERE GOING TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SO FAR, I AM OUT OF POCKET 571.62, NOT TO MENTION THE ALMOST 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS I AM FACING.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR A RED LIGHT THE CAR SHUTS DOW. AND THE CAR BUCKS WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT AGAIN. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT MAY OT MAY NOT START AGAIN. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

SHAKES WHEN TAKING OFF, WHEN HITTING THE GAS IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. SHUTTERS AND VIBRATES. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET

TRANSMISSION WILL GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DYING AND REVIVING UP. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALLS. PER NISSAN NOW, THE TRANSMISSION IS DEAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

CAR IN MOTION AT THE TIME WHEN IT STARTED JERKING, CAR WAS IN REVERSE TO GET OUT OF PARKING SPOT. STEPPED ON GAS PETAL CONTINUED ON THE ROAD, STARTED JERKING WORSE AS THE CAR TURNED ONTO EXIT. CAR PULLED OVER AND STOPPED.

CAR SHUDDERS, IDLES UP AND DOWN, LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE TACHOMETER WILL RAISE TO 4500-5000 RPMS WITH NO REAL POWER SUPPLIED TO THE CAR, AND WILL ONLY SLOWLY ACCELERATE(SLIPPING?) TACHOMETER BOUNCES UP AND DOWN WITHIN 100RPM RANGE WHILE COASTING. MY CVT IS ABOUT TO FAIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND DRAINED THE TORQUE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE THE ENGINE CHANGED TO LOW GEAR AND HAD TO PULL OVER ...IT SHAKES AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATE...'...LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON THIS CAR..CONTINUES TO SHUDDER AND STALL. NISSAN IS NOT WANTING TO DO ANYTHING ..THERE HAS BEEN BULLETINS ON 2014 NISSAN ALTIMAS AND EVEN REPAIRS DONE IN OTHER STATES WHERE NISSAN PAID FOR SERVICE.. THE DEALERSHIP RESET BUT SAID THE TRANSMISSION WILL ONLY GET WORSE . CVT

DON'T HAVE TO REALLY SAY MUCH BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT THAT TRANSMISSION IS A PIECE OF JUNK!! IT WAS SLIPPING REPEATEDLY FROM AROUND 50,000-104,000 WHEN I GOT RID OF IT. IT WOULD ALSO STALL OUT (YES ON A CVT) FROM TIME TO TIME IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT GOT TO A POINT THAT I WAS SCARED I WAS GOING TO BE STUCK WITH A CAR WITH NO RESALE VALVE (BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION) AND OWE A $14,000 PAYOFF BALANCE WITH THE BANK. SO I TRADED IT IN AND GOT A F-150.I BELIEVE ALL JATCO TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD GO UNDER AN INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR AMERICAN ROADS.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THEN SHUTS DOWN. ON OCCASION WILL NOT RE ENGAGE INTO GEAR WITHOUT SHUTTING DOWN AND THEN MUST BE TOWED( TWICE HAS DIED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A ROAD, NEEDING TO BE TOWED). GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THERE ARE NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE ISSUE.

TRANSMISSON ABRUPTLY STALLING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY STOP OR RED LIGHT

CAR SHAKING COMING TO A STOP THEN CUT OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BUCKEYE NISSAN (3820 PARKWAY LN, HILLIARD, OH 43026, (614) 771-2345) WHERE THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY PERFORMED UPDATES TO THE NEW TRANSMISSION AND ASSURED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WOULD NOT RECUR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,300.
