2013 Nissan ALTIMA Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1162178
Internal NHTSA #	10691204
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	03/02/15
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	At approx. 25 mph or 1500 to 2000 rpm's there is a very noticeable vibration or shudder in the vehicle coming up through the steering wheel and the gas pedal. This also occurs around 60 mph and is very disturbing. Also sometimes when i am stopped for a stop sign, traffic signal etc., when i step on the gas to move forward, there is no response for approx. 2 to 3 seconds. I was making a right turn once and the vehicle shot forward at a speed that is too dangerous for making the turn safely. I had the vehicle to the dealer on 2-25-15 and they said that the problem i am experiencing is normal for the cvt transmission and it adapts to the driver's habits. I didn't know if i should laugh or cry. I was told to differ my driving habits periodically to alter the transmission. I have been driving for 56 years of accident free days. Nissan has a complaint and has given me a case number. I thought i heard everything until i heard the above excuse. This vehicle is less than 2 years old and at this time has 21817 miles on the odometer. If this is normal, why didn't it do it when i purchased it new? Nissan modified the cvt transmission in the 2015 model, but won't do it in older models for cost reasons. This is totally insane to their customers. This transmission is going to get someone killed, or severely injured and then there will some serious law suits.
