#65 of 84 Re: CVT Problem on 2007 Altima [Rich3465] by alexbtr Oct 02, 2009 (1:10 pm)
Replying to: Rich3465 (Sep 18, 2009 6:10 pm) I have the same problem on my 2008 Altima with 17K miles. Dealer wants $200 just to check it but the problem is intermittent so they may not reproduce on a short test drive and I don't want to pay them $200 for that. Were you able to diagnose/fix the problem? Thanks. Replies to this message: gooddeal2 (Oct 02, 2009 3:40 pm) smarty666 (Oct 04, 2009 7:28 am)

Replying to: alexbtr (Oct 02, 2009 1:10 pm) I agree with gooddeal; as long as your still under the 3 yr/36k mile warranty there should be absolutely no charge for taking your car in; this dealership sounds like they are pulling something and if they continue to say that they need to charge you I would take your car to a different Nissan dealer and report that Nissan dealer to Nissan North America immediately; best of luck!!
#68 of 84 What could be wrong? by drgsrnylife Oct 22, 2009 (8:33 pm)
I just purchased a used 208 altima coupe and initially I loved it. But when I drove it on the freeway for the first time for about 45 minutes or so it started to act funny. I started to lose horsepower and rpms would just go up but started to go slower. Even after flooring the pedal nothing would happen. Then I pulled over to see if it would reset, but when I tried to accelerate the rpms went up to around 4000 or so and I was only going 10 or 20 mph again even after flooring it. This was very dangerous could i could not pick up speed to merge back into traffic. Suddenly regardless of how much pressure i put on the accelrator it wouldn't rev up or anything, it was like I was jsut coasting. It doesnt return back to normal until after I stop the car for like an hour or so. I took it into the dealership and since there were no engine lights on they could do anything. They reset the ECM or something but the pronblems jstu happened again. Please someone help me is the car messed up or am I jsut doing something totatly wrong?   Thanks Replies to this message: gooddeal2 (Oct 23, 2009 3:36 am) ktornga (Nov 20, 2009 12:04 pm) smarty666 (Nov 20, 2009 2:41 pm) smarty666 (Nov 20, 2009 3:04 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: drgsrnylife (Oct 22, 2009 8:33 pm) Well, I cannot tell you much b/c I don't this issue. I have the '07 w/ almost 18K miles now. I think you should try to document your case, talk to the dealer and hopefully they can replace the transmission under warranty if it needs a new transmission.
#70 of 84 2008 CVT problem by bob1853 Oct 23, 2009 (6:41 am)
Have a 2008 Altima 2.5 SL with 7K miles My problem is: When I am traveling at 35MPH or less, and I have to go down a hill (steep or shallow) and my foot is off of the accelerator the engine RPM automatically goes up to around 3500. It seems that the CVT is locked and forces the engine RPM to rise thereby causing the car to accelerate. The only way to stop this is to jam on the brake or go to manual and push + twice. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anyone know if this has this been declared a problem or a safety issue? Replies to this message: gooddeal2 (Oct 23, 2009 7:21 am)

Replying to: bob1853 (Oct 23, 2009 6:41 am) That's normal and I actually like it. It gives me a brief surge like when I'm driving my G using the sport mode. I don't think the car actually accelerates.   You feel the car accelerates b/c when the RPM goes up, the speed is slightly reduced b/c of the high RPM but then when the RPM goes back to normal, it seems the car goes faster.
#72 of 84 Starts after approximately 15,000 miles by Rich3465 Oct 23, 2009 (3:50 pm)
I was told by someone with Nissan that it normally starts after 15,000 miles or so. Thus, you do not have the problem where there is low mileage on the car. I talked with several people who have the same problem. It is not started yet on our 09 Altima because it only has about 5,500 miles on it. Since it is cooler, our 07 does not do it very much. Maybe Lou Fusz Nissan did something to the CVT transmission. I threatened, and did in fact call) to call a local "You Paid For it" program on Channel 2 in St. Louis. This morning it did just three times in 39 miles. Most of the times it does not do it at all. It likes the cool weather. When it was much warmer it did it a lot. You want to make sure that you have an extended warranty on your car in case they have to chane the transmission.
#73 of 84 CVT Problems by sheldonk Oct 24, 2009 (10:52 pm)
I have a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5S. Love it and the CVT but I have been getting a clunk followed by griding when decelerating. Anyone else experiencing this? Replies to this message: sheldonk (Nov 20, 2009 11:10 pm)

Replying to: Rich3465 (Sep 18, 2009 6:10 pm) I am having hell with my 08 Altima Coupe 2.5. I having these same problems with the accelerating and losing power. It started at about 34K miles (Aug 09) when I was driving 60 on the freeway and the car lost all power and died!!! Less than a year and a half old! Seriously! Ever since, it has just gotten worse. The dealership is telling me nothing is wrong because the check engine light doesnt come on so they cant get a read and the problem doesnt happen when they drive it. I have had it in twice since it died and it has not improved. The scary thing (like someone else mentioned) is when you turn into traffic and car just doesnt go. Well last night it died again. Stepped on the gas and it lost all power and died. I was able to get it started and drive about two blocks to my house. It would not go faster than 5 mph. I went out this morning and it would start but not go above 1000 rpms and then die shortly after. Called the dealer, scheduled a tow truck. Go out around 11, start it, and it runs fine. what the heck is up with this? I am so frustrated and I am tired of paying almost $500 a month for a car that breaks down and is less than 2 years old. I should have kept my 98 Honda with 130K miles. It never broke down on me. I am so dissapointed I feel like I was sold a piece!
