2017 Nissan Altima Transmission Problems

Just bought a 2017 Nissan Altima SR. Took it for a ride. Attempted to merge into traffic and the car had zero acceleration once I merged and then the transmission seemed to completely disengage.

After coming to a complete stop at a stop light, the car fails to accelerate into the intersection. Its hesitation leaves you vulnerable in the intersection and could cause a head on collision or even a T-Bone accident. I feel like driving this vehicle puts the lives of my family at risk.

When pushing on the gas from a stop for a red light, the car did not go. Instead, I get a check engine light solid on the dash. When I read the code for the light it registered as a P-0776.

The contact's mom owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while his mom was at a stop light, a one-ton truck crashed into the vehicle. The driver attempted to reverse from the intersection.

After stopping at red light, Vehicle could not go more than 10mph. Stop the vehicle, turn off and restarted, now Vehicle could not go further or reverse. Luckly, at the intersection, I did not get into accident.

After coming to a complete stop at a red light or stop sign, there is a delay of acceleration. It takes 3-4 seconds to even respond to me depressing the gas pedal, with no change in RPMs or response in the first 3-4 seconds. Then, the car accelerates very quickly like a sling-shot.

Follow-up to issue #11479380 Just 6 days ago, I filed a complaint regarding acceleration issues with my 2017 Nissan Altima. Unfortunately, yesterday (8/20/2022), I was involved in an accident with the car as a direct result of these ongoing acceleration issues.

After being stopped, waiting to turn left at an intersection, pressing on the gas pedal produced no acceleration for several seconds. This is not he first time that this has happened and could easily lead to an accident.

I was in the middle of an intersection turning left, and the car stalled and I was almost hit by oncoming traffic. The car has problems accelerating and shifting gears. It will get up to 4 RPM's and not shift.

CVT transmission is jerking, stalling, shuddering, and hesitating while driving. Car only has 65k miles. Issue has been happening randomly for about a week.

The car doesnt go, it stutters, and then suddenly goes. Take a lot of time to change gear, in small hills doesn't go up, the RPM and speed just go down. The check engine light comes on and off.

My 2017 altima had been jerking, almost felt like the transmission was slipping. This would occur at random acceleration causing the vehicle to stall for brief seconds before it would actually accelerate. On top of that vehicle has now started a loud wining sound that gets louder when trying to accelerate.

Vehicle started leaking oil. Check engine light came on. Took it to fucillo nissan, where I purchased it , new.

Purchased new in 2017 noticed a serious oil leak a couple years later. Took back to dealer , they kept it for a month. Finally after engine in and out of car, that oil leak was silved.

On 30 june, 2020, at approximately 4:15 pm, my 3 year old nissan altima stopped accelerating. I was on interstate 64 east bound going up the high rise bridge. About half way up I was no longer able to accelerate.

My car is less than 3 years old and maintained properly. While driving the car it starts to hesitate while trying to accelerate and at times it it shakes violently.

The CVT transmission in the altima stopped working and very very nearly caused a big accident which was almost not avoided due to this. It was in motion in traffic people almost hit me because I had no power to go. I was on a major boulevard with rush hour.

2017 nissan altima CVT transmission stalls and jerk when driving at 60-65 miles per hour highway and at a red light have to push start to continue driving which can cause injuries or death

When first buying the car last year Jul 20,2023 the check engine light was on and I didn’t know that I had 149,000 miles because it read as 75,000. Every once in a while, while driving the car wouldn’t accelerate while pressing the gas but I wasn’t sure what the problem was because it’s my first car and only happen like ever 3-5 months.

When operating my Nissan Altima 2017 I was alerted with warning lamp annd it notified me to check engine and then it went away.

I changed the transmission fluid at 60K on my 2017 Nissan Altima SV. At 70,500 miles while driving on the highway my car started slipping, jerking off wears. I had no warning lights or signs that it was overheating.

I was driving on the freeway 8/1/23. There was a bit of traffic so my speed varied. I was attempting to accelerate at one point and the car wouldn't go any faster than about 60 MPH.

Driving down the highway at 12AM the vehicle lost power and slowed immediately to 20MPH. I pulled over, shut off the engine and waited 5 minutes. Restarted the engine and the vehicle ran fine.

CVT Transmission issues The car looses power starts high RPM and will not shift then accelerator fails to respond altogether causing car to suddenly slowdown in traffic. This is second time this has happened; first occurrence was on 3/27/22. the dealership reprogramed the cars computer that time.

Transmission jerk and stalling

The transmission failed at around 44,000 miles. It started losing power on the Highway causing it to lunge forward at times and die out while pulling out and slowing down. Eventually the reverse gear stopped working .

I've been experiencing ongoing transmission problems with my car for over 2 years now. The most common problem is when I come to a complete stop, then step on the gas, the car hesitates for about 5 seconds and then takes off very quickly.

At around 85,000 miles transmission (CVT) started slipping at high speeds (60-70 on the highway). As time has went on, it now slips in every gear, jumps, shudders, and often times will leave me stranded.

While driving down the highway at 70 MPH, the transmission went out, no warning lights nothing. Vehicle RPM starting spiking then down to zero, engine sounded like it was in neutral, and the gas pedal being pushed. Got off the road and car would not go in drive or reverse, just stopped, had to have towed in.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle sputtered and hesitated during acceleration with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with transmission failure.

This incident happened many times on the highway and normal streets, when I stepped on the pedal for gas not responding, and I needed to wait almost 40 seconds, and looked like I had lost power, like the transmission not working correctly

My vehicle produced a check engine light. I paid $1300 for a new mass flow sensor and modification to my air flow. Two days later, I drove out of town and the car lost power.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 nissan altima. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped at a red traffic light, the vehicle stalled after the accelerator pedal was depressed. The check engine warning was light illuminated.

Was driving and the stall while I pull out into traffic acting like it don't want to go

While driving at highway speed (75mph), my RPM's shot up. I let off the accelerator briefly and when I attempted to push the accelerator again, nothing happened. My car continued to slow down and I was almost hit from behind.

My transmission is slipping at 50k miles. I'm experiencing hesitation and jerking while driving. Today I had to pull off to the side of the highway because I was so scared that my car going to shut off while driving.

Car lost power while turning on to highway car lost power while driving fown interstate transmissionbis faulty nissan admits to knowing it and won't recall it. I have power train warrnenty and they won't acknowledge it. The bill is 3600.

My transmission is slipping at 80k miles. My vehicle has been well-maintained and I am aware of the class action lawsuit for transmissions that affects nissans of my same year. My vehicle shakes, I experience hesitations and jerking while driving.

I was driving the vehicle when suddenly it lost power and would hardly move even with the gas pedal pushed all the way to the floor. I had the car towed to a mechanic where I was told that I needed a new transmission.

After driving home from a trip to the lake our car started having difficulty accelerating from stop lights in drive. It would seem to stall out and not accelerate. Luckily it worked enough to get us the last mile home.

I was on the highway back in february and my car stopped at a certain speed and when I tried to go faster the car wouldn't pick up speed. No check engine light was on.I took it to a mechanic and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. There have been several occasions where I've stopped at a stop light and when time to go the car seem to stall for a minute before moving.

The transmission went out and the car had no power. It happened twice within 3 months and the dealer didn't want to take responsibility the 2nd time, they claimed I had rodent damage to the transmission speed sensor harness. I had to pay out of pocket $450.00

I have been having problems with the car sputtering, stalling and not shifting in gear for months but thought it was a transmission fuel problem. At the end of sept the problems got worse where the car would hardly drive. Finally decided to take to transmission shop but the car completely stopped in the shop's driveway and had to be pushed into the stall.

The vehicle stalls and won't catch when it is put into gear. I was almost stuck in parking lot while trying to back into a spot. The car jumps/stutters and when it was put on cruise control, it would lose set speed and then catch up again.

CVT - continuous variable transmission failure and needs replacement with 2017 nissan altima sl and 37k miles on the vehicle. All highway miles and car is exactly 2 years young. Car would not go forward or in reverse.

I have less that 8000 miles on vehicle. I'm a disabled veteran with a service related disability. I've had the car maybe two years.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The vehicle lost motive power.

Check engine light came on at approximately 96,000 miles in which vehicle would have a delayed acceleration upon stepping on gas pedal or going up hills. Took it to 3 different mechanics including Nissan dealer and all confirmed a CVT failure and need a replacement. Nissan of America is refusing to help even after there have been documented lawsuits and known issues with the CVT failing.

My CVT transmission has been replaced three times by Nissan. I am currently on the third CVT transmission and it has failed requiring a fourth CVT transmission replacement. I was in a few different situations each time the trasmission failed that were unsafe.

Transmission was completely replaced by Nissan 8/2023 after failing. June 2025 transmission fails again is needs yet another complete replacement. Nissan will not assist.

When driving down the street car shuts off lights flicker on and off continuously sometimes it don’t turn back on sometimes it does but I usually just coast until it turns back on very dangerous if on freeway or heavy traffic also the brake light and and trac lights go on when this happens. When stepping on gas the RPM’s go up really high like the transmission is going out

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle briefly hesitated before accelerating. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence.

When I push the start button my car sometimes won't start and it won't go in drive. There has not been any warning lamps, messages or symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. It started about 2 weeks ago, it doesn't always happen, but it's happening more frequently now.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal, the engine RPM increased; however, the vehicle would not properly accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission had failed.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was jerking, inadvertently shifting between gears, and then lost motive power. The contact was able to drive a short distance to the residence with the check engine warning light illuminated.

my transmission went bad at 80,000 miles it is a 4 cylinder CVT and my car shudders when shifting and at random times when I press on the gas from a stop the car slowly rolls forward. my safety is at risk because if it happens when I'm turning onto a road or major road it can cause me to get hit because the accelerator doesn't work at random times. it is because my transmission is slipping.

Loss power on the interstate would not excell at all no warning lights on very dangerous with getting hit by several cars

Was driving and when we stopped and was ready to pull out the car wouldn’t move. The gas pedal was all the way to the floor after several seconds it shot across the road a then wouldn’t get above 20 MPH. The RPM gauge shot all the way, pegged out.

I own a 2017 Nissan Altima. This vehicle has been having similar issues that other owners have reported with the vehicle failing to accelerate after stopping or sitting ideal while running the and you go too take off, barely moves to a crawl even if the gas pedal is to the floor. It will also loose power (speed) without warning while driving.

The car had been acting odd and the dealership would not listen. I then noticed an engine light come on after my incidents. My transmission was failing in traffic!!!!

CVT transmission has gone out and it is a road Hazzard. The vehicle doesn't accelerate, jolts, and sputters. There was no warning or reason for a well maintained car under 97k mileage to be having this issue.

Called Nissan to advise them of how dangerous it was to drive my car because the transmission was not responding. All they read to me was it is your problem Nissan cannot repair your vehicle. I advice them of this problem way before my vehicle had 100k miles.

My car only has about 113,000 miles and the CVT transmission is completely ruined. It’ll cost me over $3,200 to repair, and this is a very common and known issue to Nissan. See other Class Action Lawsuits.

April-May, Key fob not being recognized so changed the battery in key fob 4 times. May, Driving at 55MPH on I495 beltway, pushed on gas and did not get gas. Immediately put on flasher and drifted to right curb.

The transmission. The scar started to slow down in the middle of the Highway. No warning lights ever appeared.

While driving down the highway at 70 MPH approximately 23 miles from my house, my car began to jolt and the RPM on the instrument began to fluctuate up and down. I heard the sound of the car braking, but I was not on the brakes. There was no warning light (engine light was not lit at that time).

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving on the highway, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated and then independently decelerated. The contact stated that he was able to drive the vehicle back to the residence.

Know issue by Nissan with 2013-17 Altima. I experienced Pedal throttle delay response with no engine acceleration. They have identified the issue in the vehicles , but will not fix.

The transmission on the vehicle failed to work causing me to be unable to accelerate while driving the vehicle. This put me in danger as I was driving on the highway and almost got hit. There were no warning signs prior to the issue occurring.

Car power train started to go out at 88K miles. Started with a coolant leak issue as it mysteriously drained on my way home from work. Seemed to “fix” itself as a month went by after I was told by 2 auto shops they couldn’t find a coolant leak.

The transmission without any advance issue or problem began to shimmy and shake the entire car . The car slowed down to less than 10 MPH while jerking forcefully . The car is and was serviced regularly at Nissan in Murfreesboro Tennessee.

Transmission stopped working while driving the car, at relatively low mileage. No warning lights. Car would just no longer accelerate.

My 2017 altima sr is again experiencing a delay when accelerating from a stop. It revs up to about 3500-4000 RPM’s for a couple of seconds no matter how far down the pedal is. Only gets up to about 20 MPH though.

1).Sometimes I can smell exhaust gas inside the car room like in my previous car Nissan Maxima SE 2008, which is extremely dangerous. 2).The rear camera works no so well - sometimes rearview disappearing completely. Also, approximately a year ago, I received a letter regarding Nissan Altima SV 2017 recall(s).

When attempting to accelerate rapidly vehicle has long delay, even with pedal pressed all the way down, an intermittent delay at a full stop, when taking off vehicle has a 5 second delay, gurgling sound coming from transmission during idle, rpms rev way higher than they should when accelerating, jerking from transmission when at a slow acceleration through parking lots and such, delayed acceleration also caused me to almost have a wreck, pulled out into traffic at a slow roll because vehicle wouldn't go and then vehicle took off full speed

Delayed acceleration my 2017 altima is experiencing a delay when accelerating from a stop. It won't rev or do anything for a couple of seconds no matter how far down the pedal is. Then all of a sudden it'll go.

When I was driving my car and stopping at a traffic light and when I would start to drive again the car at times has a problem with acceleration and all of suddenly the check engine light came on I scanned the engine code and it showed a po 776 transmission pressure control solenoid b performance or stuck off the car would not move but when I turned it off after 10 minutes rest the car will start to drive again but with very slow acceleration and the RPM was very high when the car was only moving at 20 MPH, my understanding is that this happens to a lot of the cars owners but these nissan cars nissan should fix the problems with the transmission they built know full well that these transmissions are no good ,currently there's no recalls on the 2017 nissan altima sv with this issue I will never buy another nissan again till they fix the transmission problems costing the customers money and not fixing the problems with their bad transmission that they know about shame on nissan the trash vehicles of the century only good for a short time then it junk afterwards

The issue happened multiple times but seems to happen more, the longer the vehicle is running. The first time I was waiting in a parking lot with the air condition running. I was leaving the parking lot and the vehicle paused and lost accelertion power for a few seconds and started going.

Transmission started to slip in early 2019. Went to dealership immediately to be informed that the CVT transmission needed to be replaced. Dealership quoted us $5600 for the repair of a rebuilt.

For the past two weeks I noticed that my vehicle started loosing power at highway speeds randomly. There were times I depressed the accelerator and a significant delay took place with the car speeding up. Yesterday 10/09/2020 while driving home from work it happened again.

My 2017 altima is experiencing a sporadic delay when accelerating from a stop. It won't rev or do anything for a couple of seconds no matter how far down the pedal is. Then all of a sudden it'll go.

I am an owner of a 2017 nissan altima. Within two weeks my transmission tends to jump, jerk, while accelerating. The check engine comes on.

Transmission tends to jump when accelerating and car jerks even when pressing on the gas gradually. The check engine light will then flicker on and off but doesn't stay on long enough for me to make it to the shop.

Vehicle transmission quite working at only 92996. I have had the vehicle for 3 years and well mechanically maintained all the time. Dealership and manufacture company is willing to do anything about the faulty transmissions that they know they put in the vehicles.

My car is a 2017 nissan altima with only 67,000 miles on it. Until 7/25/20, I had no issues or complaints. On 7/25/20 the gear started delaying so I immediately took it in to a local auto shop.

The transmission on my altima was struggling to shift gears while on the highway. The car drove as though it was stuck between drive and neutral. After exiting the off-ramp my car would not accelerate and was adrift.

The solenoid in the transmission responsible for shifting went bad at 67,000 miles and the valve body had to be replaced in the transmission. I was driving and when it was needing to maintain the speed without gas or brake applied it would jump between gears without reason and felt like a shudder as I was driving it.

The car has a delay when accelerating, when starting from a stop. You have to be careful not to push too far on the accelerator since the car will eventually accelerate. The tachometer will also go up to 5000 RPM when going between 55 and 60mph.

It was clear for me to pull out on to the highway from a complete stop. As I was almost in my lane of traffic my car started jerking, slipping, and was unable to drive safely.

My transmisson started shuddering then just quit pulling in the middle of the interstate which bout got me ran over, this was like the third time, there is countless cases of the same exact thing happening with the same car from 2014 to 2018 models due to CVT transmissons, someone needs to do sum homework and see this is gonna get somebody hurt.

When trying to accelerate, the car will hesitate to gain power from a stop position. Sometimes the rpms will ramp up without me pressing hard on the gas peddle. I have taken it to advance auto and the code that comes up is p0776 pressure control solenoid.

When driving the vehicle will make a vibration noise, loses power. Absolutely no throttle response. Almost like getting no fuel, but you can hear the engine revving and vehicle will not move.

I have a 2017 nissan altima and my transmission has gone out.I have the new CVT transmission and my mechanic told me that those new transmissions are horrible once they go bad you have to get a new one. Also there are two class action lawsuit against the size for those specific transmission.

My car stopped running. Then it would not catch in drive or in reverse. It just stops running sometimes and sometimes doesn't start at all.

While driving on the highway vehicle suddenly began experiencing problems with acceleration and began a slow shuddering or shaking. 15 minutes later the engine malfunction indicator light came and lucky for me I was already home. However began experiencing problems keeping the vehicle in gear and the vehicle hesitated to reverse.

Takaka recall I have a 2017 nissan altima that stops in midle of the hway. When I drive around 60 miles per hour with my 2 kids inside. I have to stop in the side with heavi traffic and wait until help arrive.

Transmission failed on interstate at approximately 70mph. I was told by the nissan dealership garage manager that they really don't know why they fail except that they think the transmission overheats due to undersized pump and mesh not allowing enough circulation. Everything was replaced at nissan's expense, however I have no confidence in the repair.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 nissan altima. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle decelerated and the check engine indicator illuminated. Also, when accelerating from a stop, the gear did not shift into drive until the accelerator pedal was depressed to the floorboard.

My transmission is troubling when on d car dont or if the car driving all the certain goes to neutral make loud noise on the street

All 4 door lock actuators Airbag System Malfunctioning CVT Slipping at 83,000 miles Broken Motor Mount

Engine control unit failure

Code has the transmission fluid pressure is bad

While driving the care for a minutes to an hour. While stopped at a light or stop sign, the car does not want to accelerate. It takes about 3 sec for the car to finally go.

Subject: Urgent Complaint Regarding Nissan Altima CVT Transmission and Emergency Brake System Failure I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent failure of my Nissan Altima's CVT transmission and emergency brake system. This unexpected issue has jeopardized the safety of myself and others on the road, and I urgently need assistance in resolving these critical issues.

The car has problems changing gears which also came with a weird sound. Eventually the car wouldn’t excel when pressing the gas, eventually the car stop working all together.

The transmission failed as I was entering a highway and accelerating. The speed went from 45 MPH to 0 in a matter of seconds. Once the car died, I could not put it in any gear, drive or reverse, and get the car to move.

Was driving and came to a stop. Went to accelerate and car stuttered and acted like it didn’t want to accelerate. This is not the first time, but it was about a month ago when it last did it and almost caused me to wreck.

From a stop the car is delayed when trying to drive for 5 secs then takes off like a slingshot. I see a lot people have been complaining about this issue with no resolve. Last Nissan I will ever purchase.

Delay acceleration at stop sign/red light : car moves very slow after pressing the gas paddle, engine revs 3-4K. It is really a safety issue when it comes to left turns with incoming traffic. Car move slow after complete stop with pressed gas paddle.

The transmission seems to be going. Car will not accelerate accordingly and randomly slows down in traffic. Holding the accelerator to the floor on a small incline I could only reach 44mph.

Transmission problems Brake system is horrible, constantly have to replace brakes and rotors Powertrain and other problems I've made several complaints to Nissan, I have put so much money in this car! Compressor went out almost 7 months after I purchased this car. I would give Nissan a 0 rating on the 2017 Nissan Altima

Car purchased 5/21/2021 Experienced delayed acceleration twice after stopping, after approximately 2-4 seconds vehicle picked up momentum..Approximately 7days later engine light came on. 6/5/21 tool vehicle to Auto zone for diagnostic check received code P0776.

Gear shift gets stuck in park.

Our transmission gave out on 41,982 miles, it is currently getting "rebuild" at nissan. Tomorrow will make it a week since nissan has our car and it still hasn't been worked on. We were told it's in rotation.

The transmission on my 2017 nissan altima failed after 35,000 miles. The tranimssion was rebuilt a week ago and the rebuilt CVT transmission also failed before the car reached 36,000 miles. I do not trust nissan transmissions and feel that this car will fail on me again stops acclerating which has happened to me twice already.

Car will stop accelerating out of nowhere . Car will spike the rpms but car doesn't accelerate while driving I was almost t-boned when my car delayed for 4 seconds before it accelerated . Nissan is claiming it's the transmission and it's not faulty .

Transmission has gone out at 76000 miles on the freeway. couldn't get my speed over 45 MPH. Thought I was gonna die!

This is the 2nd nissan altima with transmission/power train issues. The first I immediately returned thinking that perhaps it was an isolated incident. My car does not want to engage on take off.

This is the 2nd nissan altima with transmission/power train issues. The first I immediately returned thinking that perhaps it was an isolated incident. My car does not want to engage on take off.

As I was driving I noticed as I was giving my car gas. It was acting as if it didn't want to pull. It was idling very high and wouldn't go over 30mph.

Issues with CVT on my 17 altima. Currently at the shop for the second time. At complete stop the car does not want to accelerate, I push the petal to the floor and the rpms race while the car basically crawls.

Car is not shifting properly by itself when accelerating get stuck in the first gear. Also periodically the pedal has a three second delay when pressing on it to accelerate this happens almost daily. The only remedy that fixes it is to shut the car off and restart it.

Car slows down while driving or accelerates gas pedals get stuck

The CVT transmission failed which traveling on the highway. Car decelerated on the highway. I drifted to an exit and managed to get to a park and ride.

As I am driving down the interstate my vehicle starts spider and jerk and lose power making it hard to accelerate. Then begins to only rev at a high RPM and not move forward so I automatically assume transmission and after further review of customer complaints and technical service bulletins, I realize that this has been a issue with this manufacturer for many years.

Have electrical issues with my vehicle. 1st the windows wouldn't roll down, and now all electrical features on the vehicle doesn't work ( power locks, rear view camera, turning signals, doors dont lock with remote, and car doesnt shift out of park unless I use the shift lock release button). Vehicle was stationary and it happened on july 6 2018

The insulation that wraps the electrical cabling to engine and other working parts to car are wrapped with a corn and soil product and rats ate the inside of my car to the point that the car would not work. It is 5 months old with 7,000 miles.
