2012 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

THE CARPET IS LOOSE AROUND THE AREA WHEN THE CAR MAT ATTACHED. CAUSING THE MAT TO MOVE AND GET STUCK UNDER THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE TALKED TO COUPLE OF ALTIMA OWNER AND IT THE SAME. I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL ON THIS YET.

SINCE WHEN MY CAR HAD 31,000 MILES IT'S BEEN WINGING AND LOSING POWER RAPIDLY, NO ACCELERATION, IT'S A CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE. IT'S A REALLY DANGEROUS CAR. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SO MANY TIMES . NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION ARE VERY DANGER. IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FREEWAY BECAUSE IT CAN GO FROM 65 MPH DOWN TO 5 MPH RAPIDLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND PROTECT THE LIFE OF PEOPLE.

THE WIPER BLADES SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING DURING A HEAVY DOWNPOUR. MY SON WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT THE TIME AND ATTEMPTED TO GET OFF ON A SIDE ROAD AS HE HAD VERY LIMITED VISIBILITY WHICH RESULTED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON THE SIDE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE DRIVER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED THROUGH TWO IRON GATES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND TOWED AWAY BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (KOEPPEL NISSAN, 74-15 NORTHERN BLVD, JACKSON HEIGHTS, NY, 877-505-6334) AND STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS ON A TRIP THE CVT TRANSMISSION STOPS ACCELERATING AND YOU SLOW TO A CRAWL WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WAS ALMOST KILLED BY A BIG RIG WHO COULDN'T SLOW DOWN IN TIME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN ABNORMAL DECELERATION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CENTRAL VALLEY NISSAN LOCATED AT 4530 MCHENRY AVE, MODESTO, CA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE AT A RESTAURANT ALL OF A SUDDEN MY WIFE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND SURGE FROM THE ENGINE PROPELLING THE CAR FORWARD AND OVER AN EMBANKMENT FORTUNATELY FOR A FEW TREES AND GOD'S HELP MY WIFE IS THANKFULLY STILL ALIVE THE EMBANKMENT HAD APPROXIMATELY 100' DROP THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THE SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE SHE STILL HEARS, NOT SURE ONCE THE CAR IS FIXED IF WE BUY ANOTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OR EVEN CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS ONE, SOMETHING CAUSED THIS CAR TO SURGE AND IT DEFINITELY WAS NOT HER FOOT,

THE 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE 3.5 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN SUDDEN LOSS OF CLUTCH PRESSURE OCCURRED. THIS RESULTED IN THE INABILITY TO CHANGE GEARS AND THEREFORE EFFECTIVELY CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SPEED SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE GIVEN GEAR. THIS WAS THE RESULT OF A FAULTY CONCENTRIC CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER.

MY 2012 ALTIMA 2.5S HAS SHUT DOWN TRANSMISSION WISE(CVT) AND IT WILL NOT SPEED UP EVEN WHEN GAS PEDAL IS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR! TODAY IT DID THIS FOR A TOTAL OF 120 MILES...THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU CANT GET YOUR CAR OUT OF THE WAY OF EVEN GET TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN THE GAS IS PUSHED DOWN...I BARELY MADE IT HOME TODAY WITH OF COURSE A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR AND MY CAR WOULDNT RESPOND...I GOOGLED "2012 ALTIMA WILL NOT SPEED UP GOING UPHILL" WHAT I FOUND ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT...WHATS IT GOING TO TAKE? SOMEONE GETTING KILLED WHICH IS WHAT IT USUALLY TAKES TO GET SOMETHING POSITIVE DONE? NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS IMMEDIATELY..

WHEN TRAVELING ON FREEWAY AT 70-100 MPH CAR WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION AND SLOWLY SLOW DOWN TO 40 MPH NO MATTER HOW FAR THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. WILL NOT REGAIN POWER UNTIL THE CAR IS PULLED OVER SHUT OFF AND WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES RESTARTED AND WILL REPEAT AGAIN WITHIN 15 -20 MINUTES OF REACHING 70 MPH.
