2012 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

MY VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE OVER 700 COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE NHTSA AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND THIS ONGOING ISSUE IS GOING TO HURT OR EVEN KILL SOMEONE. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE CVT ISSUES AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. THIS RECENTLY HAPPENED THIS PAST WEEKEND (2ND TIME NOW). WE TRAVELED MAYBE 35 MILES, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO WHINE JUST BEFORE WE REACHED THE EXIT, I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. NO LIGHTS, NO WARNINGS, NOTHING STATING THERE WAS AN ISSUE. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP, WHERE THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AS IT IS MOST LIKELY THE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS THEN, AGAIN TOWED TO THE DEALER. KEN GARFF NISSAN. WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT MY 5 YEAR OLD CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION! A YEAR TO DATE I HAD TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, SERPENTINE BELT ECT! THIS IS NOT OKAY AND NOT ACCEPTABLE. SHOULD I HAVE HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND LOST ACCELERATION ON THE FREEWAY, I CANT EVENT FATHOM. THIS ISSUE TRANSMISSION DEFECT HAS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRED THE USE, MARKET VALUE AND MOST OF ALL THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. MY FAMILY IS WORTH MORE THAN THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN MORE THAN HELPFUL AND THEY AGREED A 5 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES. I AM ASKING THAT NISSAN DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS PROBLEM AND CARE ABOUT THE CONSUMER. I TRULY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT NISSAN CARES ABOUT THEIR CONSUMERS AND I REALLY HOPE THAT THEY REVIEW THIS COMPLAINT AND ACT UPON IT, DOING THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THESE ENGINES. I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY HOW MANY NISSAN OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE BBB, CARGURU, NISSAN AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS. PLEASE, HAVE THIS LOOKED INTO. I KNOW NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE AND THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE STATIONARY, THE OIL COOLERS IN THE VEHICLE FRACTURED AND LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR WORK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,895.

THE DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY MELTING AND IT IS GETTING STICKY AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. IT PRODUCES A GLARE AND IT OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW. THE GLARE IS STOPPING ME FROM SEEING THE CARS AND OBJECTS IN FRONT OF ME. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

POOO18 CRANKSHAFT/CAMSHAFT SENSOR ENGINE DIES LOSS OF BRAKES AND STEERING THANK GOD COMING UP TO HOUSE SLOWING TO PARK, CITY STREET. RESTART ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE RUNNING ON 3 CYLINDERS. TURNED OFF START AGAIN, PULL CODE AND ERASE. IT RUNS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE I ERASED THE CODE THEY CAN DO NOTHING. GOOGLE 2012 ALTIMA ENGINE STALL AND PREPARE TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR AFTERNOON READING STORIES

AT 1500-1800 RPMS THERE IS A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT MY CALL WAS UNDER RECALL FOR A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO NISSAN. NISSAN CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD ONLY REPAIR MY VEHICLE IF THE VIN# IS IN THE SYSTEM, WHICH IT WASN'T. HOWEVER, I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME THROTTLE BODY ISSUES AS ALL OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA'S MADE DURING THE SAME TIMEFRAME.

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AFTER 65K MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS ONLY UP TO 60K THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME OR WARRANT ANY REPAIRS. BECAUSE OF DEALER COST I WAS ABLE TO REBUILD IT AT A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP FOR $4000.00. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR, THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING DAMGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN HAD A RECALL ON MODELS UP TO TO 2010 AND ALSO GAVE EXTENDED WARRANTIES. HOWEVER THE 2012 IS NOT ON THIS REACALL. I FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST AND A RECALL FOR MY MODEL SHOULD TAKE PLACE. MY COST WAS 4000 DOLLARS, IT JUST DOESNT SEEM FAIR. NO TRANSMISSION SHULD GO OUT BEFORE 100K. THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS VEHICLE AND IT QUIT FUNCTIONING IN TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHERE SHE COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD OWN UP TO.

WHINING UP HILL AND NO DRIVE DOWN HILL, WHEN HEATED UP TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO UNTIL COOLED OFF

WHEN THE CAR IS AT 75MPH, IT LOSES SPEEN AND THE RPM GOES UP AND IT SLOWS DOWN WHEN YOU STOP THE CAR AND WAIT FOR AN HOUR OR MORE, IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL FOR A WHILE IT HAPPENS AFTER AND HOUR OR LONG TRIPS.

DRIVING DOWN FL. I75 DID NOT HAVE POWER TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. PUSH THE GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TINES NO POWER. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH. AFTER SEVER MILES SAFELY GOT OFF I75. FOUND OUT CVT OVER HEATED AND SHUT ENGINE DOWN. NISSAN WAITING FOR SOME ONE TO GET KILLED. IS THAT WHAT NISSAN IS WAITING FOR? THERE IS A FIX FOR OVER HEATING CVTS. IS NHTSA GOING TO SIT ON THERE BUTT OR DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS AN ON GOING THING WITH NISSAN.

VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN HIGHWAY. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY SEMI AS I COULD NOT KEEP ENOUGH SPEED TO STAY AHEAD AND GET TO SIDE OF ROAD. WHEN I SEARCHED WEB, FOUND THIS TO BE A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE ON THE 2012 CVT TRANSMISSION.
