2013 Nissan Altima Cruise Control Problems

I have taken the car to 3 mechanics for 4-5 incidents knowing that the mechanics were indeed certified in professionally fixing the issue. I was driving the car and made a proper left turn, yielding to oncoming traffic when suddenly the vehicle was unable to accelerate. The other car was approaching and I pushed on the gas as hard as I could to barely get it to move out of the way, luckily avoid a collision. The car died and will restart and drive another 11 miles, repeating the process. No mechanic has been able to properly identify the cause. Please understand, I could be that "lies" to individuals in order to sell the car, but do I really want to put another person's life at such a faulty incident? Well, I recommend another recall on the issue, regardless of the cost because a little hood latch and a simple light compartment isn't anything like an unknown cause of malfunction stall towards driving in a hectic traffic.

Im not sure what the malfunction. Is but I’ve been experiencing delayed acceleration. I can be at a stop light and when it turns green I hit the gas and it won’t go until about 4 seconds later. I’m afraid i will get hit in the back or hit when turning because the delay. This also happens at stop signs or when I’m simply pulling out somewhere. When I looked it up on google many Nissan altimas are having the exact same problem. Also me and a relative have the same car and she’s been experiencing the same problem!

There is a delay in acceleration. It won't accelerate whenever I want it too. Sometimes it won't do it even if I press the pedal all the way to the floor. When it engages the accelerator it would do it at a strong force. When the problem happens I would have to constantly press and depress the pedal so it won't engage with a strong force. It happens usually that I have noticed when at a stop position ready to start to move.

Experience delay acceleration on Interstate 15. The vehicle will not speed up from about 55MPH when pedal was full depress.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES INTO MY DRIVE, I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. AFTER 2-3 SECONDS IT DECIDED TO ACCELERATE. ABOUT ANOTHER HALF MILE DOWN THE ROAD AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT, IT DID IT AGAIN. EACH TIME, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY CARS BEHIND ME TRYING TO GET TO THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING LOOKED AT.

INITIALLY, THE VEHICLE TREMBLED AND CUT OFF AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT IT THREW A CODE WITH FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR ISSUE IN TRANSMISSION. REPLACED TRANSMISSION WITH USED ONE...SAME CODE. REPLACED THAT ONE WITH REBUILT TRANSMISSION, THROWING THE SAME CODE. IF TRYING TO ENTER ROAD, IT MAY FEEL STRONG ENOUGH TO ENTER HIGHWAY, THEN LOSSES THROTTLE RESPONSE. IT MAY CONTINUE WITH ABOUT 20 MPH SPEED. THEN AGAIN, IT MAY START OFF ALRIGHT AND BECOMES OBVIOUS AT SOME SPEEDS THAT THE RPM IS GREATER THAN IT SHOULD BE FOR THE SPEED VEHICLE IS MOVING. NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS HAD VEHICLE FOR WELL OVER 2 WEEKS AND HAVE NO ANSWERS. ASKED THEM TO CHECK ELECTRICAL AND THE COMPUTER, STILL NO ANSWERS AND HARDLY ANY COMMUNICATIONS AT ALL. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, BUT AFTER THE ISSUES EXPERIENCED, THIS COULD BE A POSSIBLE COMPUTER ISSUE. EITHER WAY IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND A LOT OF MONEY SPENT WITH NO RESULTS. *TR

NOT 2 YEARS YET OF OWNERSHIP AND MY CAR DECIDES TO NOT ACCELERATE ON ME. I WOULD HAVE TO FLOOR IT TO GET IT TO FINALLY KICK IN AND DRIVE UNTIL I STOPPED AT THE NEXT LIGHT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING LETTING ME KNOW OF ANY PROBLEMS. HAD 2 NEAR COLLISIONS WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR TRYING TO GET MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. DEALER THOUGHT IT WAS TRANSMISSION AND ALTERNATOR BUT UPON WARRANTY REP DIAGNOSING VEHICLE, IT WAS DECIDED THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ALTERNATOR. WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 3 DAYS BUT PUT IN A RENTAL FROM THEIR DEALER WHICH WASN'T ANY BETTER WITH A CONSTANT NOISE WHILE DRIVING. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY AFTER WORK WITH MY SON. HAD TO GET OFF AND DRIVE TO THE DEALER. APPARENTLY, THEY FIXED THE WRONG THING. A FEW DAYS AFTER PICKING UP MY VEHICLE FROM GETTING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FIXED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. DIDN'T NOTE ANYTHING MAJOR WHILE DRIVING BUT WAS JUST AWFUL HAVING TO TAKE BACK THE VEHICLE WHEN I HAD JUST PICKED IT UP LITERALLY 2-3 DAYS BEFORE. THE DEALER KEPT MY VEHICLE THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS AND IT TOOK THEM 3 DAYS TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I WAS FINALLY TOLD THAT I NEEDED A THROTTLE CHAMBER REPLACED. WAS NEVER TOLD WHAT THE PART WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING AND WHY IT WASN'T FOUND WHEN THEY HAD IT PREVIOUSLY. STILL NOT 2 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. PERSONALLY, TOO MANY ISSUES WITH MY 2013 ALTIMA VEHICLE IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS KEEPS WASHING THEIR HANDS OF ANY DEFECT OR LEMON LAW. THESE THINGS WHICH I HAVE EXPERIENCED ARE NOT LITTLE OR MINOR BY NO MEANS AND HAVE ENDANGERED MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, ESPECIALLY THE INCIDENTS WITH THE ALTERNATOR AND THE MAS SENSOR. NEED SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE AND A TRUE FEELING OF CARING FOR THEIR CUSTOMER'S SAFETY TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE BEFORE SOMETHING WORSE HAPPENS.

WHILE I AM DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATION FOR 5 TO 10 SECONDS THEN STAR ACCELERATE AGAIN. THIS IS VERY SCARY I CHECKED ONLINE AND I FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM REPORTED IN A LOT OF SAME MODEL OF THE CAR THIS REALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HIGHLY CAUSED ACCIDENT AND INJURIES. SPECIALLY IN THE HIGHWAY.

ON 3/25/19 MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA STALLED WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A CITY STREET. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE FOLLOWING DAY 3/26/19 DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IDLE. THERE WERE NO DASH LIGHTS TO INDICATE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE CAR STARTS BUT WHEN IT IS PLACED IN GEAR IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN AND AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION. I HAVE TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP DUE TO IT SHUTTING OFF.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 4 CYLINDER, 4 DOOR SEDAN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I THOUGHT THAT I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE SIDE BUTTON ON MY GEAR SHAFT THAT PUT THE CAR IN A DIFFERENT MODE. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A BUSY STREET. WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I PUMPED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN IT JERKED AND LUNGED FORWARD. I WENT INTO A PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND DROVE IT AROUND THE EMPTY LOT TO CHECK THE BRAKES AND ACCELERATION. IT SEEMED FINE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES AND I THOUGHT THAT IT MAY NEED AN OIL CHANGE OR I HAD BAD GAS. I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND WENT TO A DIFFERENT GAS STATION FOR A FILL UP. THE CAR SEEMED FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS (HOWEVER, I DIDN'T DRIVE IT MUCH). THEN YESTERDAY I DROVE THE CAR OVER A 4 HOUR PERIOD. DURING HOUR 3 IT BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. I WAS STOPPED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION DURING EVENING RUSH HOUR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. MY PASSENGER WAS QUITE CONCERNED. THE CAR JERKED AND LUNGED FORWARD AND I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED AND THEN STARTED IT AGAIN. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS MORNING I TOOK MY CAR IN TO MY MECHANIC AND HE PULLED SEVERAL CODES FROM THE CAR DURING THE DIAGNOSTIC EXAM (SUBMITTED). HE SAID THAT IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND IT WILL COST $3,800 TO REPAIR! I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY ISSUE. THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, SO I DID. SHE OPENED A CASE TO SEE IF NISSAN WOULD COVER THE REPAIRS. I AM WAITING FOR A 2ND DIAGNOSTIC AND APPROVAL FROM NISSAN TO COVER THESE REPAIRS AS MY CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD.

REPORTED TO SHEEHY NISSAN MECHANICSVILLE VA FOUTR TIMES. THE VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED (STABILITY LIGHT ACTIVATES). THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE ACCELERATOR TOUCHES THE FLOOR WHILE TRAVELING 45-60 MPH LOSS OF PRESSURE. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT TO ACTIVATE IN ORDER TO USE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY GOLD PLAN. I WAS CHARGE $93 FOR A SCAN OF THE COMPUTER, THEN IT WAS PURGED. THE FOB SYSTEM IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE KEYS AND I WAS CHARGED FOR CHECKING AND REPROGRAMMING KEYS. FOB KEYS STILL LOSE THE PROGRAMS WHILE DRIVING.

TAKATA RECAL: I HAVE A 2013 NISSIAN ALTIMA AND WHEN I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE LIKE IT SUPPOSED TO. FOR AN EXAPMLE WHEN I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT TWO OR THREE TIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING IN A 20MINUTE SPAN. ALSO, WHEN I TURN OFF MY CAR (IT HAS A PUSH START) MY BREAK LIGHTS ARE ON. WHEN I TURN IT OFF I DON'T HAVE TO PUSH THE BREAK AND PUSH THE START BUTTON. (THE CAR THINKS I'M STEPPING ON THE BREAK).

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED AND DOES NOT RESPOND NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THE ACCELERATOR MUST BE DEPRESSED A SECOND OR THIRD TIME FOR THE ENGINE AND THE CAR TO RESPOND. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS DUE TO SLUGGISH OR NONRESPONSIVE ACCELERATION. THE SLUGGISH AND NONRESPONSIVE ACCELERATION OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND CAN BE ON A FLAT OR INCLINE SURFACE.

I SIMPLY TURNED ON MY CAR WHEN THE RPM AND SPEED GAUGE WENT OUT OF CONTROL FROM 0 TO MAX IN STATIONARY MODE, THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE SPOT. THIS PROCESS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW, ALONG WITH THIS THE CAR ENGINE WAS EXTREMELY LOUD MAKING ROARING NOISES AND SHUDDERING AND VIBRATIGN. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENED THE CAR CONTINUED WITH THE RPM AND SPEED GAUGE CYCLING FROM 0 TO MAX, I DID NOT FEEL SAFE TO ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE CAR. LAST MONTH I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICE BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY THE MAX SPEED ON THE CAR WAS 30 MILES PER HOUR. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY AND THE CAR TURNED OFF WHEN I PARKED IT ON THE STREET. IT TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS TO FINALLY TURN ON. THE CAR DID THIS AGAIN ON A SECOND OCCURRENCE BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALER, I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET AND AGAIN THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED. THE CAR STALLS, JERKS, VIBRATES ON ITS OWN AT RANDOM TIMES. EACH TIME I HAVE HAD MY PREVENTIVE SERVICES DONE AT THE DEALER THE CAR IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION AND NOTHING CAN BE DIAGNOSED, THEN THE CAR HAS THESE INCIDENTS OCCUR WITH NO WARNING.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY RECALLS ON THESE PARTS ALTERNATOR THEY SAY MIND ID BAD AND A NOTHER LADY WAS THERE SHE HAD TO REPLACE HERS I CANNOT BELIEVE THESE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACE SO SOON.THERE MUST BE A FAULT SOME WHERE. *TR

I HAVE THESE ISSUES EVERYDAY DRIVING THIS CAR. SHUTTERING AT LOW RPM WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING, NOTICEABLE DELAY IN GEARS SHIFTING WHEN SHUTTERING IS OCCURRING BETWEEN 1200 AND 1800 RPM. RPM'S INCREASE RAPIDLY(SHARP SPIKE) WHEN CAR IS GOING DOWN HILL BUT DOES NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO GAIN SPEED. THE RAMPING OF RPM'S IS LOUD AND RESEMBLES WHEN YOU HIT GAS TO ACCELERATE TO ENTER A HIGHWAY ONLY YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE ACCELERATION IN SPEED. ALSO COMING UP HILL THE CAR GIVES OFF A BURNING SMELL. I HAVE NOT LOCATED THE SOURCE OF THE BURNING SMELL AND IT GOES AWAY AFTER GOING BACK TO FLATTER TERRAIN FOR AWHILE. THE SMELL LINGERS ENOUGH TO CAUSE CONCERN. *TR

HELLO I PURCHASE A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IN MAY OF 2013 WITH 20 MILES ON IT..THIS YEAR IN APRIL OF 2014 I STARTING HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION.I WAS ON THE CRESCENT CITY BRIDGE COMING HOME FROM WORK WITH ALOT OF TRAFFIC MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDENLY JUST SLOWED DOWN AND WILL NOT PICK UP SPEED I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR STILL WILL NOT PICK UP SPEED.I THAN TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY HAD IT FOR A DAY CALLED ME TO COME GET IT SAID THEY RESTARTED THE TRANSMISSION..OKAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SITTING WITH THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THE BRAKES DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY JUMPED THE CURB AND LANDED ON THE MEDIAN. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,445.

I BOUGHT MY 1ST 2013 NISSAN ON AUGUST 18, 2023 AND IT HAD APPROX. 3,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. AFTER A FEW DAYS, I NOTICED A SPUTTERING IN THE CAR WHEN DE-ACCELERATING AND ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING. AFTER 10 DAYS IT HAD GOT SO BAD, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. LUCKILY, IT HAPPENED VERY BADLY WHEN THEY DROVE THE CAR. I SPOKE WITH THE STORE MANAGER AND HE AGREED TO GIVE ME A NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON IT. LOW AND BEHOLD. THE NEW CAR STARTED SPUTTERING VERY LITTLE (HARDLY NOTICEABLE) AFTER ABOUT 2,000 MILES. TRYING TO GIVE THE CAR THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, I DIDN'T TAKE IT BACK. FAST FORWARD,,,,,,,THE CAR NOW HAS 14,000 MILES AND IS SPUTTERING MORE AND MORE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR SOMETIMES SMELLS AS IF IT IS RUNNING A LITTLE HOT WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR. I AM TAKING THE CAR IN THIS WEEKEND AND HOPEFULLY THE SPUTTERING WILL BE RECREATED. IF NOT, I WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK WHEN IT SPUTTERS AND MAKE CERTAIN TO GET DOCUMENTATION EACH TIME I TAKE IT IN. THIS IS TERRIBLE AND I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK WITH A CAR WITH ISSUES SUCH AS THIS. I AM 64 YEARS OF AGE AND THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY RETIREMENT CAR.....A NEW CAR WITHOUT CAR PROBLEMS, AS I DON'T NEED TO BE TRYING TO PAY FOR MAJOR CAR REPAIRS ON A FIXED INCOME!!! *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5SL ONE WEEK EARLIER. AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED THAT WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND GET TO 20-40 MPH THE CAR WOULD JERK VIOLENTLY AS IF MY CAR WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE TRANSMISSION AND KEPT MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS. THEY PUT 75 MILES ON MY CAR TO "ENSURE" THEY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I PICKED UP MY CAR ON THE 4TH DAY AND DROVE 2 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND ENCOUNTERED THE SAME JERKING AND SHUDDERING PROBLEM. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS GREETED BY A SERVICE MANAGER THAT INSISTED WE GO FOR A DRIVE TO SEE IF HE COULD EXPERIENCE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. AFTER TAKING THE RIDE HE EXPLAINED THAT HE DID FEEL THE JERKING AND SHUDDERING BUT IT IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT NISSAN USA AND MAKE A COMPLAINT BUT THE DEALERSHIP REALLY DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER TO CORRECT THE ISSUE UNLESS THEY ARE CONTACTED BY CORPORATE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR!!! I AM AFRAID THIS CAR IS GOING TO STALL ON ME AT THE WORSE POSSIBLE TIME. *TR

DURING COASTING/DECELERATION FROM 35 DOWN TO 20 MPH, THE CAR WILL PROVIDE A SUDDEN JERK AT 25 MPH WHILE THE A/C IS ON MAX. THIS DEVOLVED INTO TIRE SKIDDING AFTER A COUPLE WEEKS WHILE THE DEALERSHIP WAS TEST DRIVING IT FOR REPLICATION DURING THE WEEK OF 8/20/12. THE REPLACEMENT CAR THAT I RECEIVED ON 8/28/12 STARTED SHOWING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AT 800 MILES ON 9/7/12. CURRENT DIAGNOSIS OF THE MANUFACTURER OF THE ORIGINAL CAR INDICATED THE CAR REQUIRED A NEW CVT. AT THE TIME, THE ETA FOR REPLACING THE CVT (ON THE ORIGINAL CAR) WAS AT LEAST 3 WEEKS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SURGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MECHANIC AND SERVICE MANAGER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND FELT THE SURGE HOWEVER STATED THAT WHEN INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 500.
