Going at speeds from 2mph to 70mph+ the transmission seems to be cutting in and out, I have to either lay off the gas or pull over and let It sit for it to stop acting up and it’ll stop for a while and then acts up again. The OEM original CVT shipped with the car has major problems, passenger safety issues, could cause a major accident or death.

The CVT transmission sputters and stalls movement at start-up causing danger of being rear ended at the start-up of traffic control lights and during turns. The car starts to move at a light and then stalls and will not continue to accelerate, slowing down in the middle of getting up to speed.

I was trying to merge into the highway traffice and I pressed on the gas pedal to pick up speed, but the car just puttered along with the RPM at around 3000 - 6000 and I almost got rear-ended by a van who got really close to the rear-end of my car. The gentleman in the van was clearly upset and I know it was my fault because my car did not want to pick up speed.

When I purchased my car in July of 2020 there was a 6 month warranty on it and my RPM gage started bouncing while I was driving and having issues switching gears seeming like a transmission problem in October of 2020, I brought my car up to the dealership on November 3 of 2020 specifically even saying that I thought something was wrong with my transmission and they said nothing was wrong and I have proof, I brought it back several times with the same complaint and it was getting worse even after my warranty and they still said nothing was wrong.

The car began to slow down when going up hill about 6 months ago. Brought car to the dealership and they confirmed the transmission needs to be replaced. They are making me pay for it even though Nissan is aware of the problems with this particular transmission.

I have reported this before with no resolution. the vehicle that financed (2019 Nissan Sentra SV) ALWAYS slows down during acceleration causing the car to jerk myself and passenger(s) forward and the car to make grinding sounds and would only allow continued driving after the car decelerated when there was NO vehicle in the front vicinity of the car.

The transmission started slipping a few weeks ago and then last night it seemed like the car completely stopped working. The car didn’t shut off then but the RPM went all the way up to 6 and then there was a pop. My car then jumped and stopped moving.

When I try to get a quick acceleration it doesn't want to move it has trouble climbing hills like I had to put it to the floor to make him go anywhere and sometimes when I'm driving to RPMs goes up in the middle of driving without me hitting the gas I also noticed sometimes the buttons on the steering wheel don't always work I have to turn off the car and turn it back on kind of worried about the transmission I have a 2009 Nissan Altima transmission it's going bad on it before it's time so I'm hoping this car is not having the same thing

I was coasting towards the traffic light wanting to make a left hand turn when the light turned yellow and I was already past the point where I could back up. I had to hit the gas pedal to make the turn in a quick fashion and beat the oncoming traffic. The car just puttered along and I almost got hit by the oncoming traffic.

My car just started to have transmission problems. It started to forced especially on hills and the transmission started to force itself and the at 115000 miles the transmission stopped working since it gave us the P 2767. It is just absolutely ridiculous that a new car would not last more than 4 to 5 years without having to replace a vital part of the vehicle.

While decelerating on to an exit off-ramp the car started refusing to shift and came to a stop on the side of the expressway. When I tried to pull off the road it said “Transmission Fluid Pressure Low”. At this time I am unsure if it is a sensor or the transmission.

When driving at speeds above 70 MPH, the RPM’s start to surge. Going from 2.5 RPMs to 5 RPMs without any acceleration in speed from the driver. I have video of it when the cruise control was being used and the rpms surged and fell back.
