2017 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

THIS IS THE 2ND NISSAN ALTIMA WITH TRANSMISSION/POWER TRAIN ISSUES. THE FIRST I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THINKING THAT PERHAPS IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. MY CAR DOES NOT WANT TO ENGAGE ON TAKE OFF. THE RPMS GO UP REALLY HIGH AND THE CAR BARELY TAKES OFF. THIS OCCURS DURING ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS ON ALL TERRAINS.

MY 6 ALTIMA, THIS ONE, HAS BY FAR BEEN THE WORST!I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALLS & RECVD A NEW BATTERY, I TOLD THEM THE BRAKES DON'T STOP THE VEHICLE, THEY TURNED FRONT ROTERS, I TOOK IT BACK FOR SEVERE SQUEAKY SQU DEALERSHIP DID NOT HEAR A THING! I HAVE SINCE BEEN IN A REAR END COLLISION UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND A DRIVER LEFT TURN COLLISION AGAIN UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND RECVD ANOTHER NEW BATTERY BUT BRAKES ARE FINE!! LAST NIGHT IN THE RAIN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, NOT HYDROPLANING, AGAIN ALMOST HIT A STOPPED CAR & SWERVED. THEYKEEP INSISTING IT IS MY DRIVING CAUSING THE ISSUE, MY CAR HAS 20,00 MI I WANT A BRAND NEW ALTIMA WITH PROPERLY WORKING PARTS! I CALLED BOTH BRANCH & DISTRICT MANAGER WITH NO RETURN CALL! I WILL ESCALATE TO THE TOP OF NISSAN!

VEHICLE FIRE STARTED FROM PASSENGER SIDE UNDER HOOD WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON BATTLEFIELD PARKWAY IN RINGGOLD, GA. CAR HAD 50,000 MILES. PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT TO CALL 911, CAR GOT ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. CATOOSA COUNTY SHERIFF AND CATOOSA COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED.

AS I PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM WORK AS I NORMALLY WOULD, MY CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED AND WOULD NOT EVEN GO PAST 20 MILES PER HOUR EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I LIFTED MY FOOT SLOWLY UP FROM THE PEDAL HAVING TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AND IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE MORE AFTER A GOOD MINUTE. I GOT MAYBE 3 MILES UP THE ROAD AND SLOWED DOWN BEHIND A DIESEL AND MY CAR STALLED AGAIN WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY ON THE FLOOR PUSHING MY GAS PEDAL, IT STAYED UNDER 40 MPH FOR A GOOD 30 SECONDS. IT TOOK ME A MINUTE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON. I KNOW THE SYMPTOMS BECAUSE I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED A NEWER 2017 CHEVY MALIBU, I WAS THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND MY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WENT OUT AT 22,000 MILES. THEY SAID IT WASNT NORMAL FOR IT TO GO OUT THAT EARLY, BUT MINE DID. IT WASNT A RECALL WHEN IT WENT OUT, BUT BECAME A RECALL AFTERWARDS IN LESS THAN A MONTH. THAT COULD HAVE KILLED ME AS MY CAR SUDDENLY REDUCED ENGINE SPEED WHILE PULLING OUT OF A RESTAURANT, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SLIGHTLY TO A NEARBY GAS STATION.

MY TRANSMISSON STARTED SHUDDERING THEN JUST QUIT PULLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE WHICH BOUT GOT ME RAN OVER, THIS WAS LIKE THE THIRD TIME, THERE IS COUNTLESS CASES OF THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENING WITH THE SAME CAR FROM 2014 TO 2018 MODELS DUE TO CVT TRANSMISSONS, SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SUM HOMEWORK AND SEE THIS IS GONNA GET SOMEBODY HURT. NISSAN DOESNT WANT TO ADMIT THE ISSUES AND COVER THE ISSUES.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL HESITATE TO GAIN POWER FROM A STOP POSITION. SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL RAMP UP WITHOUT ME PRESSING HARD ON THE GAS PEDDLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO ADVANCE AUTO AND THE CODE THAT COMES UP IS P0776 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED BUT I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 7 MONTHS. AND I'M SURE OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUES IF NOT NOW VERY SOON. CUSTOMER WILL VERY MUCH SOON BE VERY PISSED OFF AFTER 7 MONTHS OF HAVING THEIR VEHICLE OR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HITS 60K. AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND I FEEL LIKE IT WAS A MISTAKE GETTING THIS CAR.

THE LOW BEAMS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. I WAS ALMOST IN A ONE CAR ACCIDENT (COULDN'T SEE UPCOMING TRAFFIC CIRCLE) AS A RESULT. I HAVE TO RELY ON HIGH BEAMS FOR VISIBILITY WHENEVER POSSIBLE . THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED. I AM POSITIVE THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT FIXED.

WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH TERRAIN GOING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 35 MPH, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THEN RELEASES. WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENS I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST 3 TIMES THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIME SINCE I'VE PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 12/31/2019.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL MAKE A VIBRATION NOISE, LOSES POWER. ABSOLUTELY NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. ALMOST LIKE GETTING NO FUEL, BUT YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING AND VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WILL START TO MOVE SLOWLY. THEN IT WILL GO. THIS PROCESS WILL REPEAT OVER AND OVER. UNTIL STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN YOU COME BACK IT ACTS FINE. THEN STARTS OVER ONCE DRIVEN A WHILE. THIS HAPPEN WHEN CITY DRIVING OR HIGHWAY. I FINALLY GOT A LIGHT TO COME ON AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF DRIVING THIS WAY. CHECK ENGINE CODE P0776 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID. THAT'S IN THE TRANSMISSION. DEALER SAYS ITS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS ON OTHER NISSAN MODELS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS.

WHEN VEHICLES PUT IN REVERSE AND THE BACK UP CAMERA IS ENGAGED MOST OF THE TIME THE SCREEN IS VERY DARK YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO REVERSE AGAIN TO SEE. WHEN VEHICLE IS PUT IN REVERSE AND THE BACK UP CAMERA IS ENGAGED MOST OF THE TIME THE SCREEN IS VERY DARK YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO REVERSE AGAIN TO SEE. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN TRYING TO BACK UP OUT OF TIGHT AREAS AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS FOR
