| Description of the problem | 2013 nissan altima defective cvt. Purchased a used 2013 nissan altima with 62k miles on it and quickly realized i had bought a car with a failing transmission. It has been established that the transmission could fail in a manner that could cause an accident. The current symptoms are poor acceleration followed by a surge in acceleration, shuddering, etc. I have had the cvt fluid changed and reprogrammed twice and the issue still remains. Until i can have the transmission replaced i risk the vehicle suddenly de-accelerating on the road without brake lights causing an accident. |
