2015 Nissan Altima Power Train

THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS IDLING HIGH WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT. WITHOUT REALIZING IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, THE CAR WOULD JERK WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. AS THE CAR WAS DRIVING TLAND WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS IT WOULD IDLE TO THE TOP AND WHEN IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT WOULD JERK INTO GEAR AND TAKE OUT. EVENTUALLY IT WOULD STALL AT 2ND GEAR AMD OF I WAS CROSSING TRAFFIC OR TURNING A CORNER IT WOULD STALL FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN KICK INTO HIGH GEAR WITH A HARD JERK.

TRANSMISSION STUTTERS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON HIGHWAYS AND REGULAR STREET DRIVING. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED.

P17F1 CVT JUDDER CODE...THERE ARE RECALLS ON V6 NISSAN ALTIMAS FROM 2015, BUT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE 4 CYLINDER MODELS, YET THE CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. MOST LIKELY THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED REPLACED. VERY COSTLY FOR A 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE ($3500 FROM NON-DEALER, $4000 - $5000 DEALER ESTIMATE). DEALER CHARGES $140 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. TRANSMISSION COMPANY I SPOKE WITH SAID THIS WAS THE 4TH ALTIMA HE HAD SEEN THIS WEEK WITH THE SAME ISSUE....TYPICALLY HAPPENS BETWEEN 100,000 - 120,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE HAS 111,000 MILES.

HAVE SHUDDERING OF THE CAR WHEN DRIVING UP TO 40 MPH. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP (WHERE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED) AND DIAGNOSTICS DETERMINED A "BAD" TRANSMISSION WITH IDENTIFIED "JUDDER" CODE. HOWEVER, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BY NISSAN TO ADDRESS TO THIS ISSUE DOES NOT CURRENTLY EXTEND TO 6 CYLINDERS, OF WHICH MINE IS. I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS, AS MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS STATED IN BULLETIN NTB16-085 AND NTB15-015G.

SHOWING CODE P0841

MY CAR STARTS TO SHUDDER AND SOUND LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL. I WAS TURNING INTO A STORE AND IT STALLED, BUT IT THEN KICKED INTO DRIVE SO I COULD MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY A REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION PERSON AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT BACK TO NISSAN BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RECALLS OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I CALLED AND LONG STORY SHORT, I WAS TOLD IT HAS NO WARRANTY DUE TO BEING OVER THE MILEAGE AND THERE AREN'T RECALLS. I HAVE CHECKED AND SEE SOME COMPLAINTS FILED BACK OCTOBER OF 2018. MINE IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. I SEE IT WAS SOME OF THE MODELS; HOWEVER, IF ALL OF THESE CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, THE WARRANTY SHOULD BE EXTENDED SO THEY CAN BE REPAIRED.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND ON A HIGHWAY IT APPEARS THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS JERKING AND SLIPPING.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF A FAMILY MEMBER WHO OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND FELT AS IF IT STRUCK A LOG. THE VEHICLE MADE A CLUNKING NOISE AND SHUT DOWN. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NISSAN OF LAGRANGE (706-558-3196, LOCATED AT 1050 LAFAYETTE PKWY, LAGRANGE, GA 30241) WHERE THE DRIVER WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN OPEN RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WOULD DEPEND ON THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER'S RECOMMENDATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,594.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 25 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANSONE NISSAN (90-100 US-1, AVENEL, NJ 07001, (888) 437-1763) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO PAY 90% OF THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

WHILE WAITING TO TURN LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION FOR A BREAK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES PAUSE FOR 2-3 SECONDS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THIS LEAVES ME VULNERABLE TO AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT FINALLY KICKS IN AND STARTS MOVING. WHEN HAVING TO JUDGE AND MAKE CRUCIAL DECISIONS WHILE DRIVING IS COMPLICATED BY A CAR THAT DOESN'T MOVE WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO I TRULY FEEL IT'S LITERALLY 'AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.' I ALSO DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE IT'S NOT EVERY TIME, SO I HAVE NO WAY TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO MY DECISION MAKING WHILE DRIVING. NEITHER I WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR DO I WANT TO PUT SOMEONE ELSE AT RISK.

I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 38,500 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT AT 31,000 MILES. ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND RECENTLY TAKEN A TRIP TO VIRGINIA.WE WERE LEAVING THE LAST DAY AND WE CAME UP TO THE FIRST LIGHT AWAY FROM THE PLACE WE WERE STAYING AT. AS I CAME UP TO THE LIGHT MY CAR HAD JERKED REALLY HARD SLOWING DOWN AND THE RPMS WENT WAY UP. I DIDN'T REALLY THINK THAT WAS WEIRD AS IT HAS DONE THAT BEFORE ON MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS AND NOTHING HAD HAPPENED FOR A SOLID 10 SECONDS IT WOULD ONLY REV UP TO 2 AND WOULDN'T GO PAST 10 MILES PER HOUR. AS THIS LIGHT WAS FAST AND IT WAS TURNING YELLOW AS SOON AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH IT THE PEOPLE WERE HONKING BEHIND ME AS MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I PULLED OVER AND CUT MY CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I STARTED OUT AGAIN AND IT HAD A HARD TIME ACCELERATING AND I PULLED OVER AGAIN. AT THIS POINT NO LIGHTS CAME ON OR ANYTHING. I THOUGHT MY CAR JUST LEFT US STRANDED IN VIRGINIA. I TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN AND STARTED OUT AND IT WAS DRIVING NORMAL. I FIND THIS UNSAFE BECAUSE CARS AT THE LIGHT COULD HAVE STARTED TO COME THROUGH MY MY CAR IS JUST TEETERING ALONG THROUGH THE FAST LIGHT

AROUND 92,000 PRESSED ON GAS AND CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, HAD TO PRESS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR UNTIL IT CAUGHT THEN IT DROVE. DROVE HOME, SHUT OFF, RESTARTED IN THE MORNING WITH NO ISSUES. DROVE A FEW MORE DAYS AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN; TOOK TO CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION CHECKED OUT GREAT AND IT WAS MY "BRAKE SENSOR" WHICH WAS REPLACED, DROVE ANOTHER TWO WEEKS AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK BACK IN AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT; NOTES READ TRANSMISSION FLUID SMELLED "BURNT" AND THERE WERE TINY METAL PARTICLES THROUGHOUT.

CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE IF IT'S BEEN IDLING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, SUCH AS THE TIMING OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN IF THE AC IS RUNNING. HAD TO MASH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR STILL LAGGED. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT THIS IS STILL A MAJOR ISSUE.

BOUGHT MY ALTIMA USED WITH 60K MILES. AT 80K IT STARTED EXHIBITING A DELAYED ACCELERATION FROM TOTAL STOP AFTER SOME WARMUP PERIOD. WITH 106K MILES, AFTER WARMUP, IT NOW ALWAYS HAS DELAYED ACCELERATION FROM ANY COMPLETE STOP. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS NO EFFECT UNTIL 80% DEPRESSED THEN IT STARTS LIKE ITS IN 3RD GEAR. SCARY IF TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC. DEALER SAYS ITS A FAULTY SOLENOID IN THE TRANSMISSION. ON LINE COMPLAINTS ACROSS SEVERAL MODELS ARE PREVALENT.

WITH NO MECHANICAL WARNING OF ANY TYPE (WARNING LIGHTS OR OVERALL VEHICLE PERFORMANCE), MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA HAD THE CVT (TRANSMISSION) FAIL. THE CAR STARTING TO SPUTTER AND ACT UP WHILE DRIVING IT, NO WARNING INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES STILL, AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. STOPPING ALL FORWARD MOTION OF THE CAR. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN 2.4L ENGINES WITH CVT, NO MATTER THE MODEL OF VEHICLE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON A MULTIPLE LANE HIGHWAY GOING 70-80 MPH AT THE TIME OF FAILURE AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN! HAD I BEEN DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC LANE, PUTTING MY LIFE, ALONG WITH MY PASSENGERS LIVES, IN DANGER. IN SPEAKING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY SEE THIS FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES IN A WEEK. HAD MY 16 YEAR OLD, NEW DRIVER, BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, WE COULD BE DEALING WITH AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION. THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN IS KNOWINGLY INSTALLING IN THEIR VEHICLES EVEN TODAY. NISSAN DID EXTEND THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY FOR MULTIPLE MODELS FROM 2003-2010; HOWEVER THE PROBLEM WITH THE CVT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED EVEN BY 2015.

I PURCHASED A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 SV IN NOVEMBER 2, FROM QUEENS AUTO MALL IN QUEENS, NY. 3 WEEKS LATER THE CAR WOULD NOT GO EVEN IF I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT AND HAD ME PAY FOR THE NEW SPARK PLUGS. HERE I AM 3 MONTHS LATER AND I HAD TO FIX THE TPMS. THE. DRIVING THE CAR A FEW TIMES LONG DISTANCE. THIS IS WHAT STARTED HAPPENING: STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, I WOULD PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN IT WOULD KICK IN AND ACCELERATE. I WENT TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO PASS 10 MILES AN HOUR WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE RPM WAS RACING BETWEEN 1.5-3 RPM. THIS WOULD STOP ONCE I PRESSED THE BRAKES. IT STARTED MAKING A RACING NOISE WITH NO GAS POWER, THEN IT WOULD KICK IN AGAIN. I PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF THE CAR, AND RE-STARTED. THE CAR WAS "NORMAL" AGAIN. I LET IT SIT FOR THREE HOURS BEFORE DRIVING HOME. AND IT STARTED MAKING THE NOISE AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $2,000 DOLLARS. HE ALSO SAID THAT HIS SHOP HAS BEEN FIXING THIS ISSUES ON MANY NISSAN AND THAT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH NISSAN. ALSO ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY AND DO. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT, BUT LOOKING UP AND READING CARCOMPLAINTS.COM I SEE THIS ISSUE IS HUGE AND NISSAN SHOULD DO A RECALL. NOT EVERYONE HAS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO KEEP PAYING FOR THE SAME ISSUE MONTH AFTER MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 35-65 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN MANUFACTURER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: 15-102. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHEN I STEP ON GAS PEDAL THE CAR HAS NO POWER, SEEMS LIKE IT IS STUCK IN LOW GEAR, SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STALLS. VERY DANGEROUS, ONLY WORKS CORRECTLY AFTER THE CAR IS STOPPED AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. APPROX 77,000 MILES...

TOOK MY NISSAN TO JEFF WYLER KINGS NISSAN IN CINCINNATI, OHIO ON OCTOBER 16TH AFTER I WAS MADE AWARE OF A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPROGRAM CVT TRANSMISSION. PICKED UP CAR THAT AFTERNOON DROVE IT REST OF DAY AND THE NEXT DAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $4200. MY CAR IS ALMOST 4 YRS OLD WITH 84,000 MILES ON IT. THE TECH SAID THE REASON FOR THE REPROGRAMMING WAS TO PICK UP ON THE ISSUES IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TECH TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR MONTHS AND EVEN A YEAR OR SO AND THE COMPUTER NOT THROW THE ENGINE CODE BECAUSE OF EITHER FAULTY TRANSMISSION OR TRANSMISSION PROGRAM. I JUST FEEL ITS EXTREMELY FISHY THAT AFTER THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION THE VERY NEXT DAY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND HAVE A CASE # OR CA # OF 33093284 AND AM ASKING NISSAN TO COVER THE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY RPM GAUGE RACED OVERV7000 THEN DROPPED TO 0 AND I LOST ALL ABILITY TO CONTROL THE TRANSMISSION. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTERWARDS. CALLED NISSAN AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT IS COMMON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WITH NO WARNING.?NICE HAZARD AS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AND NISSAN SAID SINCE IT HAD 115K MILES NOTHING THEY WOULD DO ABOUT IT

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-95 SOUTH GOING 70 MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED DOWN TO 60 AND THEN 50 MPH AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH A PRESSED THE GAS, THE CAR CONTINUED TO LOSE POWER. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT AND HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON SO OTHER DRIVERS KNEW THAT I COULDN'T DRIVE ANY FASTER. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR APPROXIMATELY 30-45 MINS. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. DURING THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE, THE RPM WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN JUMP WHICH CAUSED MY CAR TO JERK AND ACCELERATE FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. HAD SOMEONE BEEN IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD'VE HIT THEM. AS I WAS TAKING MY CAR TO NISSAN THE NEXT DAY, MY CAR WOULD STALL AT RED LIGHTS AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED THE GAS IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER TO BEGIN MOVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY SCARY AND I DONT FEEL SAFE.

I OWN 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA, I WANT NHTSA TO BE AWARE OF SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I WAS ON 95 SOUTH IN WASHINGTON DC WHEN MY VEHICLE HESITATED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AS I PUSHED MY GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR MY CAR WOULD SLIGHTLY MOVE FORWARD. WHEN I WAS TRYING TO MOVE TO THE FAR RIGHT SHOULDER, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY MACK TRUCK. MY CAR WAS BARELY MOVES. THE ALMOST CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE MY LIFE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY 8/23/2018 ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS AT STOP LIGHT I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AND MY VEHICLE BARELY MOVED. I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALER THAT IT CVT TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE GETTING A DOZEN 2015 NISSAN A WEEK WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THIS IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO FIX.

A FEW WEEKS AGO MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AND PRESSED ON THE GAS. I HAD TO ALMOST FLOOR IT FOR IT TO EVEN GO AND THEN IT WOULD ACCELERATE SLOWLY. I GOT IT LOOKED AT AND IT DROVE FINE AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN A FEW DAYS AGO IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN, EVERY STOP I MADE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL I PRESSED ON THE GAS HARD THEN IT SLOWLY STARTED MOVING, ONLY THIS TIME THE RPM WENT CRAZY AND IT STARTED SHUTTING DOWN AND WOULDN'T GO AT ALL, IT COMPLETELY STALLED. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT SO CALLED THE TOW TRUCK. ONCE THE TOW TRUCK GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT STARTED AND WORKED FINE AGAIN. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID IT MAY BE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST 1500$ IF THAT IS ALL IT IS IF THEY GO IN AND IT DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM THEN I WILL NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID MY WARRANTY SHOULD COVER IT BUT MAY NOT COVER ALL OF IT. MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD IT SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. WHEN I FELT THE CAR DOING THE SAME THING I TOOK THE BACK ROADS INSTEAD OF THE FREEWAY. IMAGINE IF MY CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF FREEWAY OR IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND ME AND HIT ME BECAUSE IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. NO ENGINE LIGHT AND NO WARNING OF ANY KIND CAME ON.

CAR SHUDDERS AT LOW RPM ACCELERATION AND SOMETIMES STALLS WHEN TURNING ON TO A BUSY STREET. TOLD BY DEALER TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAS 46000 MILES AND A BRANDED TITLE. CAR RESTORED TO PERFECT CONDITION AFTER MINOR ACCIDENT. NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FURTHER WARRANTY DUE TO THE BRANDED TITLE. THE REASON FOR COMPLAINT IS THAT THERE IS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER THE POWERTRAIN FOR UP TO 60,000 MILES REGARDLESS OF THE EXTENDED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT NISSAN HAS GRANTED TO OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION FAILED TO GO IN GEAR BRIEFLY WHEN STARTING IN TRAFFIC....FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE REVVED UP, BUT NO POWER. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT WENT IN GEAR.
