| Description of the problem | I have 2013 nissan altima s. It has ~89k miles on it. The transmission stopped working on 10/11/2020. How can nhtsa assist? Nissan refused to provide any assistance. The cvts installed in the nissan altimas have caused a variety of problems - shaking, losing acceleration and stalling, among others - according to owners who are regularly posting complaints on websites such as autonews. Com, carcomplaints. Com, and cars. Com. Nissan altima owners have secured a settlement offer from the carmaker which would resolve claims that the vehicles' transmissions fail prematurely. Lead plaintiffs alleged that 2013 through 2016 nissan altimas suffer from shuddering, hesitation, stalling, and noises stemming from defective continuous variable automatic transmissions. Vaccording to the nissan class action, vehicles stall unexpectedly, causing them to stop in traffic without illuminating the brake lights. Vconversely, the defect could also allegedly cause an unexpected surge in power, causing drivers to lose control. Vvdespite consumer complaints, nissan reportedly forced owners to pay for a $3,000 fix that often left them with more defective parts. Case # 42179365. Due to covid, my issue surfaced after 7 year deadline on may 11, 2020. This is wrong and nissan will not take responsibility for it. I tried to work with madison at nissan 615-725-7208. I am having the work done based on diagnosis from wright nissan. The work will cost me about $3,500. Wiegand brothers transmission will replace the transmission. 445 rochester rd pittsburgh, pa 15237. 412-364-8000, 412-364-7399 email: wiegandtransmissions@yahoo. Com |
