WHILE ON A 4 HOUR TRIP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER , THE ENGINE WOULD WINE AND THEN SUDDENLY START LOSING SPEED AND BE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR TOP SPEED IS 45 MPH IN A 75MPH SPEED LIMIT ZONE. NO ONE KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IT ONLY HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER. NISSAN IS NOW AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND A) CANNOT GUARANTEE IT CAN FIX THE PROBLEM AND B) CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN EVEN IF THEY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 75 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AT A STEADY PACE. IT WOULD NOT LET ME ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THE PEDAL PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT BEGAN TO MAKE A WHINING NOISE. I PULLED OVER AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR A WHILE AND WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN THE DROVE NORMAL LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCUR ABOUT 7 MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN AT ABOUT 60MPH. THIS TIME THE CAR DIDN'T SLOW DOWN, BUT IT WOULD LET ME ACCELERATE PASS 60 MPH AND THE RPM NEEDLE NEVER MOVED. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT I STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND EVERY TIME I ACCELERATED THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK VIOLENTLY AND STARTED MAKING THE SAME WHINING NOISE. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR A WHILE LONGER IT DROVE NORMAL. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM.

AS MY FAMILY AND I WAS TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN, THE CAR'S ACCELERATION APPEARED TO DECLINE OUT OF NO WHERE. EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN SPEED. IT MADE A WHINING NOISE AS WELL. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT IT HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES THAT I CAN COUNT OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE NOR GET A CODE. SO MY ISSUE STILL EXISTS. IT ONLY HAPPENS ON LONG DISTANCE TRIPS WHERE I DRIVE MORE THAN 40 MILES OR SO AT 75 MPH OR MORE, USUALLY 80MPH. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED THIS PAST WEEKEND AND MY YOUNG DAUGHTER AND I WERE ALMOST KILLED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER SO I ONCE AGAIN TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND ONCE AGAIN THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. IT'S PRETTY FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU KNOW THERE'S AN ISSUE BUT YOU CAN'T GET A RESOLUTION. LIKE I WOULD MAKE UP AN ISSUE TO PAY FOR, THAT'S DUMB! THEY WANT YOU TO TAKE IT TO AN AUTHORIZE NISSAN DEALER BUT WHAT GOOD DOES THAT DO WHEN THEY CAN'T FIND OR FIX THE ISSUE.

I OWN A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE WITH APPROXIMATELY 60K MILES. WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60MPH, THE CAR DECELERATES WITH NO WARNING. DURING THE FIRST INCIDENT, I WAS ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF A SEMI TRUCK CAUGHT IN THEIR BLINDSPOT WHILE THEY WERE TRYING TO SWITCH LANES. I ATTEMPTED TO PASS THIS TRUCK ONLY TO HAVE MY CAR SLOW DOWN COMPLETELY, EVEN WITH GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLES BEHIND ME HAD TO CHANGE LANES SUDDENLY TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME, AND I ALMOST BECAME THE VICTIM OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH THIS SEMI TRUCK. FEARING A SIMILAR INCIDENT ON THE TRIP BACK, I STAYED SAFELY IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE GOING JUST BELOW THE POSTED SPEED (70MPH). AS I APPROACHED AN INCLINE ON THE INTERSTATE, NOT ONLY WOULD MY CAR NOT SPEED UP, IT WOULD NOT EVEN MAINTAIN SPEED. IT QUICKLY WENT FROM 66MPH TO 55MPH. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS COLLISION WITH THE UNSUSPECTING VEHICLES BEHIND ME. AFTER GETTING A DIAGNOSIS DONE AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING. NISSAN HAS ADMITTED TO KNOWING THESE ISSUES, BY AUTOMATICALLY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS TO 10YR/120K. HOWEVER, THE WAY AROUND ACTUALLY PAYING TO FIX THESE DEATH TRAPS IS TO INFORM THE CONSUMER THAT THE "FIX" IS NOT A NEW TRANSMISSION, RATHER AN EXTERNAL COOLER THAT NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED. THESE ARE COMMONLY FOUND IN LARGER SUV'S AND TRUCKS TO HELP COMPENSATE FOR THE ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE TRANSMISSION, DUE TO LARGER SIZE/WEIGHT. I DRIVE A 2-DOOR ALTIMA. I AM NOT TOWING BOATS OR PAVERS. IF MY TINY CAR NEEDS AN EXTERNAL COOLER TO HELP ITS FAULTY TRANSMISSION FUNCTION SAFELY AND PROPERLY, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AT MANUFACTURING. THE OUT OF POCKET COST FOR THIS COOLER IS $1000+. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE FAULTY PRODUCT THEY MANUFACTURED. THIS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL OF MY 09 ALTIMA 2.5S SEDAN IS PRESSED, THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AS IT SHOULD AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ACCELERATES UNTIL THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED HARDER WHEN IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALWAYS AND THE AMOUNT OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION VARIES FROM TIME TO TIME. TODAY AROUND 12:30PM, I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR BY PRESSING THE BRAKES AND IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND HIT ANOTHER CAR. THE POLICE ARRIVED, LISTENED TO WHAT HAPPENED, AND REPORTED THE ACCIDENT AS MY FAULT. WHEN I TOLD HER (OFFICER DICK) ABOUT THE BRAKE MALFUNCTION, SHE MADE FUN OF ME SAYING -- "ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL OFF A TOYOTA HERE?" I FIND THE BRAKES OF MY CAR VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND THAT WAS THE REASON FOR TODAY'S CRASH. HOPE NHTSA WILL TAKE THIS REPORT SERIOUSLY AND DO THE NEEDFUL. *TR

2009 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S CVT.....SUDDEN EXCELLERATION.
Vehicle speed control, Jan 31, 2010, crash
IN A RENTED 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA I BACKED OUT OF THE GARAGE, LIGHTLY TAPPED A TREE ON THE SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN CAME TO A FULL STOP. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE TO REALIGN IT AND THE CAR ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY CRASHING THROUGH THE CLOSING GARAGE DOOR AND CAME WITHIN INCHES OF THE WALL OF THE HOUSE. THE CAR ONLY STOPPED WHEN IT HIT THE EDGE OF THE STAIR LEADING INTO THE HOUSE. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE PASSENGER SUFFERED A BROKEN RIB. ALL OF THE RECENT PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTA MADE ME BELIEVE EVEN MORE THAT THIS WAS AN UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. HERTZ EXAMINED THE CAR BUT CLAIMED NOTHING WAS DEFECTIVE. MY CAR INSURANCE PREMIUM HAS RISEN AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT (MY FIRST EVER) AND I WORRY ABOUT OTHERS DRIVING THIS MODEL. THIS TOOK PLACE IN PLYMOUTH, MA. THIS WAS A HARROWING ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE ENDED WITH FAR MORE DESTRUCTION AND SERIOUS INJURY. I DON'T KNOW IF NISSAN HAS HAD OTHER REPORTS LIKE THIS ONE, BUT I FELT IT IMPORTANT TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT. *TR
