Description of the problem | 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. The car will not move for several seconds and then gradually it will begin to take off. This happens at every stop or slow down made. My cruise control no longer works either. Several times in the past i had issues with the vehicle not wanting to shift out of first gear. Since then this is what has occured. At this point i can no longer drive the vehicle due to no acceleration and im afraid that i might cause an accident due to extremely slow if not any take off from any stop. I am very upset over this issue considering everything i have read up on all leads back to the cvt transmission problems from several other owners, and the fact that several recalls have been made due to this, but for some reason not the 2017 altima? It is apparent to me that this year has also been affected. I am a single mother and can't afford another exspince at this time especially since i lost my job due to covid-19. Now i am unemployed and cant drive my car due to transmission problems that obviously seems to be a reaccuring problem for nissans with the cvt transmissions. |
