The transmission failed in my 2015 Nissan Altima. The check engine light is currently on due to a defective transmission. While I understand that Nissan extended the transmission warranty by two years or 24,000 miles following a class action lawsuit, I find this coverage completely unreasonable, insufficient and irresponsible, and most importantly unsafe.

Driving down the us23/119 interstate near pikeville, ky the vehicle suddenly started decelerating from 60 MPH and would no longer allow acceleration. The vehicle speed kept decreasing until it was going less than 20 MPH and th driver had to pull off to the side of the road. After a tow to the nissan dealership, the problem was diagnosed to be a faulty transmission.

I have noticed that when pressing down on the the acceleration pedal there is sometimes an extended delay and the car does not move. It does not happen always, but I have read that alot people are having the same issues, and no one seems to know the cause. Personally, after putting the car in park, turning off and turning on the car seems to allow it to accelerate again.

When driving in hot weather or a long distance (60+miles) on streets and/or highway, the vehicle will not accelerate after coming to a complete stop. Stopping in bumper to bumper traffic, stop sign, stop light or even after having to do an emergency brake. The vehicle will not accelerate until 5-10 seconds have passed with the acceleration pedal pressed.

While waiting to turn left at an intersection for a break in oncoming traffic, the car will sometimes pause for 2-3 seconds when the accelerator is pressed, as if it were in neutral. This leaves me vulnerable to an accident when it finally kicks in and starts moving.

The CVT transmission in the 2015 frontier is probably going to fail after 50,000 miles. Most of the time it works, but on occasion it stutters on acceleration from a standstill, or vibrates excessively in general. When, not if, the transmission fails it could cause serious injury or death because the car did not accelerate when it was expected to.
