2012 Nissan ALTIMA Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1488782
Internal NHTSA #	11119357
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2012
File date	06/08/18
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Complete loss of power climbing a steep grade uphill, almost caused accident sandwiched between two 18 wheelers also going uphill one of which had to swerve sharply to avoid hitting us. Cvt transmission likely went into fail-safe mode, same thing repeated multiple times on steep winding climbs on mountain highways. Very dangerous situation with engine cutting out and loss of power. Nissan has issued cvt recalls and extended warranty on models up to 2010 but the problem is still there in this 2012 altima and in many other complaints about the cvt on later models. Nhtsa should get nissan to extend its recall/warranty to models after 2010 judging by the many complaints being reported about the same loss of power issue with the cvt.
