  THE ISSUE HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE, THE LONGER THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS WAITING IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE AIR CONDITION RUNNING. I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE PAUSED AND LOST ACCELERTION POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS AND STARTED GOING. I THOUGH IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR CONDITION SO I TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITION TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. WHEN I GOT TO A STOP LIGHT AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE IT PAUSED AGAIN THEN ACCELERATED. THE PAUSE SEEMS TO BE FROM 5 TO 10 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD MOVE.THE LONGER THE CAR WAS RUNNING THE MORE IT HAPPENED. AT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. ON SHORTER DISTANCES THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT START BUT ON LONG DISTANCES OR ON ACCELERATION, THE PAUSE WOULD CONTINUE. FINALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO GET THE CODE CHECKED. IT WAS A P0776 CODE,"PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID B PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF" . I FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE ISSUE CHECKED AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR $6000 ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 74000 MILES. PROBLEMS 1. LOST ACCELERATION FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AGAIN 2. COMPLETELY LOST ACCELERATION AND COULD NOT MOVE AND A HILL. 3. LOST ACCELERATION ON THE FREEWAY AND BARELY MADE TO THE SIDE TO TURN OFF THE CAR. SEEING THE ISSUES FOR THE NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION, NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A TRANSMISSION THEY KNOW HAS PROBLEMS AND REPAIR THE ISSUE. THEY UPDATED THE WARRANTY UP TO 2016 BUT NOT THE 2017 OR 2018 MODELS THAT STILL HAVE ISSUES, USING THE SAME TRANSMISSION AS THE 2016 MODELS. I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN BECAUSE OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUE AND NOT CORRECTING IT.

• 12/27/2020· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP IN EARLY 2019. WENT TO DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO BE INFORMED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DEALERSHIP QUOTED US $5600 FOR THE REPAIR OF A REBUILT. WE LOOKED AT THE ERROR CODE AND SAW THAT ALL OTHER YEARS AND MODELS HAD ALREADY BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE EXACT SAME ERROR. NISSAN TOLD US THEY WOULD GIVE US "ASSISTANCE" AT 60%, WHICH STILL WAS OVER $1600 EXPENSE, FOR A CAR JUST 2 YEARS OLD. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK IT RIGHT BACK. NISSAN INFORMED ME IT WAS A FAULTY OXYGEN SENSOR. COST ANOTHER $800. WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN.

• 12/19/2021· STEERINGCrash

  I was on my way to work on Saturday 12/18 and as I was making a left turn my steering wheel locked and I actually hit a curb hopped it and went back into traffic. My axel broke on left hand side and blew my tire. Thankfully my children weren't in the car and a police officer happen to see the whole thing. I couldn't get my steering wheel to turn or come unlocked. That was very dangerous, and I could have been seriously injured and someone else also. I didn't get any warning lights or anything to this was going to happen. Clearly from the complaints this has been ongoing and there still hasn't been a recall to get the issue fixed or resolved. My insurance company will be looking into it.

  Airbag light came on with no previous conditions that should have caused that. Dealership in Dothan, AL originally said a bad connection under the passenger seat caused it. They supposedly cleaned the connection and reset the light. The airbag light came on again days later. The same dealership now says the entire passenger seat and airbags sensors/connections will have to be replaced at $2500+ out of pocket costs.

• 12/14/2021· WHEELSCrash

  On Sunday December 12th just north of Birmingham on I-65 there was a foreign object in the lane (appeared to be a fairly large piece on concrete). It was between 8-9p thus dark. Due to the amount of traffic driver could not swerve to avoid the object. The object bent the front driver wheel which resulted in needing to replace the driver front wheel and tire (OEM Nissan Wheel and cover, third party recycled tire). The object in the road could have caused far worse damage and bodily injury. We do not have a receipt for the $60.00 used tire.

  WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (75MPH), MY RPM'S SHOT UP. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR BRIEFLY AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, NOTHING HAPPENED. MY CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN AND I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A GARAGE AND THEY SAID THE CAR HAD 4 ERROR CODES, ALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I AM STILL COVERED UNDER MY 5 YEAR/ 60000 MILE WARRANTY.

I WAS PARKED THERE FROM 8AM-5PM AND WHEN I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE, THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE REAR RIGHT BUMPER AS IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD SWIPED MINE BACKING IN OR OUT OF THE NEIGHBORING STALL.

• 12/08/2019· STEERING

  THE POWER STEERING PUMP (2017 NISSAN ALTIMA SR, 2.4L, 35,980 MILES) BEGAN TO PRODUCE WHINING NOISES (HIGH FREQUENCY PITCH SOUNDS) BOTH WHEN THE ENGINE RUNS WITH MOVING AND WHEN THE CAR MOVES. PARTICULARLY, WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE THE ENGINE IS ON, IT PRODUCES HIGHER NOISES. IF I DON'T TURN THE POWER STEERING WHEEL WHILE THE ENGINE IS ON, IT PRODUCES LOWER WHINING SOUNDS. THUS, BOULDER NISSAN IN COLORADO REPLACED THE PROBLEMATIC PUMP WITH A NEW ONE. HOWEVER, THE NEW ONE IS NOT THE SOLUTION AT ALL. I HAVE COMPLAINED THIS ISSUE AGAINST BOULDER NISSAN. THEY COULDN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING PUMP ITSELF IS DEFECTIVE. I KNOW ALL OF 2011 ~ 2018 ALTIMA HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, WHICH HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN ON THE INTERNET. NISSAN COMPANY MUST RECALL THE POWER STEERING WHEEL PUMP AND REPLACE IT WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED PUMP (NOT THE SAME DEFECTIVE ONE). WHAT HAPPENS IF THE POWER STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING?

  CAR IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY BY ITSELF WHEN ACCELERATING GET STUCK IN THE FIRST GEAR. ALSO PERIODICALLY THE PEDAL HAS A THREE SECOND DELAY WHEN PRESSING ON IT TO ACCELERATE THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY. THE ONLY REMEDY THAT FIXES IT IS TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AS FAR AS THE PEDAL GOES. THE ACCELERATION WHERE IT DOES NOT SHIFT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME BUT AT LEAST HAPPENS 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK DOES IT MATTER IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A REGULAR ROAD.

• 12/02/2023· AIR BAGS

  UNKNOWN; Someone rear-ended me Monday, Nov. 27, 2023 and damaged my driver side taillight/corner of bumper. It was an impact of about 20mph, and believed to be a result of black ice/the other driver following too closely. Today, Saturday, December 2, 2023 the airbag warning light appeared. It didn't come on with Monday's impact, so I am concerned that it could suddenly deploy while I am driving.

• 11/29/2022· AIR BAGS

  The driver side airbag warning light appeared on dashboard approx 2 months ago. I took it to Piazza Nissan for service, where a 27 point vehicle inspection was performed. I was told the airbag needed to be replaced, as well as the LF seat back assembly. The parts would cost just over $2000.00, and with labor would be just over $3000.00. I was also told there is a national backorder for the parts, and the dealer would call me when they are available. The airbag does not work on the front driver’s side of the car anymore. My car has never been in an accident, the airbags were never deployed, and I have regularly had all of the maintenance checks done at Nissan dealers. I do not understand what would cause this problem except for faulty parts.

• 11/28/2025· POWER TRAIN

  Just bought a 2017 Nissan Altima SR. Took it for a ride. Attempted to merge into traffic and the car had zero acceleration once I merged and then the transmission seemed to completely disengage. The RPMs week to around 3500 so I quickly had to pull off so as not to get rear ended. Brought the car to a stop and attempted several times to push the gas but the car would not pick up any momentum. I eventually turned the car off and waited a couple minutes. I restarted the car and placed it in drive and the car accelerated like a turtle but eventually got up to 30 mph. I turned around and headed back home and parked the car. Calling my mechanic to see if he has any knowledge related to these damn CVT transmission. Not sure why these cars aren't barred from being resold like they did with the Volkswagon. I feel raped.

  I was driving on the highway and lost all my speed it dropped from 70 to 30 on the highway had to pull over and shut my car down. I restarted it, and my RPMs went up but were not moving. After this happen I have been in almost 15 accidents. The stops and then happens again. I hear like a winding noise when I try to keep a safe distance from people on the highway. Now all of a sudden my car is shaking and feels like my tires are going to fall off they are not through. No lights came on before this happend.

• 11/25/2022· POWER TRAIN

  After coming to a complete stop at a red light or stop sign, there is a delay of acceleration. It takes 3-4 seconds to even respond to me depressing the gas pedal, with no change in RPMs or response in the first 3-4 seconds. Then, the car accelerates very quickly like a sling-shot. This is dangerous particularly in stop-and-go traffic. I have videos of the issue. The dealership stated that they cannot replicate the problem in their shop so it can’t be fixed. This might cause an accident and this seems to be happening to multiple other Altima drivers but there is no recall. This has been occurring for over six months and three trips to the mechanic/dealership with no resolve.

  The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V315000 (Latches/Locks/Linnkages) for the hood latch and was taken to the dealer, who completed the remedy on June 3, 2025. After the remedy had been completed, while decelerating and coming to a stop at approximately 20 MPH, the hood of the vehicle suddenly lifted, hitting the windshield, causing it to fracture in many places, with some pieces of glass completely detaching. The rear-view mirror had detached as a result. The contact received many cuts from the glass. The contact contacted the police and later filed a police report. The vehicle was towed to a friend's home. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, who had not diagnosed the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 242,000.

  My airbag malfunction light came on randomly. Never have I been involved in an accident. I have only had this vehicle for 2 years. I took it to Nissan dealership in Chandler AZ to have it inspected. They told me the recalls for Nissan Altimas only go up to 2016, mine is a 2017. This puts me, my passenger and my children at risk and it is not safe to drive. I have a teenager that was trying to learn how to drive with his permit and now due to this issue, it is not safe for him to do so. If there were recalls prior to the 2017 Nissan Altimas, obviously the 2017s are affected as well. Someone needs to address this issue asap.

  Airbag is off and airbag indicator light is illuminated. The vehicle has not been in any accidents and Nissan states that this is an airbag issue (known). They refuse to warranty it even though the unit is under 100k miles. The dealership confirmed that the SRS Airbag system is not operational. A Google search for this provides many 2017 Altima drivers with the same issue and Nissan is not fixing this.

  Check engine light came on will not go off transmission fluid burnt replaced transmission fluid because transmission was slipping out of gear not finding the correct gear I do believe it was starting off in second gear instead of first. Drive slightly better in manual after fluid gets warm but not overheating the car will start jerking and threatening to kill losing power in the accelerator and going uphill also having trouble with the car going into reverse and drive. I had no choice but to replace the transmission fluid myself due to lack of funds and now dealership refuses to touch my vehicle for repairs.

  The car delays to accelerate from a stopped position. While sitting at traffic lights you can press the gas all the way to the floor and the car will not accelerate for a few seconds and then slingshot you forward. After this happens the car will not change gears and revs to 5000 RPMs while in the middle of traffic. If you can safely pull off to the side of the road and turn the car off for a few seconds and restart it, the car resumes to function normally. This is extremely dangerous, especially when making left hand turns with children in the car. In my research, this a known problem to Nissan and there has been no recall.

• 11/01/2021· AIR BAGS

  The system failure is the airbag I'm not sure if it is a malfunction or what. It started as staying on when I start car then would go away. Then I notice it just come up and would stay on.

  Check engine light came on at approximately 96,000 miles in which vehicle would have a delayed acceleration upon stepping on gas pedal or going up hills. Took it to 3 different mechanics including Nissan dealer and all confirmed a CVT failure and need a replacement. Nissan of America is refusing to help even after there have been documented lawsuits and known issues with the CVT failing. This is unsafe and a recall is needed not just an extended warranty that doesn’t help consumers who are over the 7 years but still under 100,000 miles like me.

  When first buying the car last year Jul 20,2023 the check engine light was on and I didn’t know that I had 149,000 miles because it read as 75,000. Every once in a while, while driving the car wouldn’t accelerate while pressing the gas but I wasn’t sure what the problem was because it’s my first car and only happen like ever 3-5 months. September 2024 a little over a year of having the car while driving to work the car kept jerking and the rpm was rising but my speed wasn’t changing. Eventually I turned around to go back home because it wasn’t safe to drive. I pulled over and turned the car off on my way home because I seemed as if it was getting worse once. I tried turning the car back on to go home and it wouldn’t crank up. Also when at red lights or stop signs after I stop the car will not go I will be stuck unless I’m continuously pressing the gas. I lost my job because I don’t have a car to get to and from work nor any money to pay $5,100 for this ridiculous repair. It’s even impossible to find a cheap transmission and install it yourself because all of them are over $1000.

  Hello I’m not sure how to actually go about this. Just looking for a little clarification or guidance, I purchased my 2017 Nissan Altima from a dealership March 2020. Two weeks ago the airbag popped on that it’s no longer working and I’m not understanding why I haven’t been in any accidents or anything. It doesn’t make any sense to me that I took the car to Nissan and it cost 1700 just for the part that’s not including labor. Is this happening to all Nissans and where do I go from here? That’s a lot of money just for parts.
