2013 NISSAN ALTIMA Engine Problems

THREE MAJOR ISSUES HAS BEEN OCCURING WITH MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SL 1. BRAKE LIGHT COMES UP RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AT LOCAL OR HIGHWAY SPEED. 2. HOOD POP UP WHILE DRIVING - ISSUE WITH LATCH 3. TRANSMISSION IS MAKING GRINDING NOISE.

ENGINE STALLS/HESITATES, SOMETIMES CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHEN PRESSING BRAKE. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (CVT) HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS- CAR JERKS, DOESN'T SHIFT SMOOTHLY. CVT RECALL COMPLETED AND CAR RAN BETTER FOR ABOUT A YEAR THEN STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS VERY POOR. MY CAR FALL IN A LITTLE HOLE AND ONE OF THE FRONT WHEEL WAS BROKE, BECAUSE THE SUSPENSION WAS BAD JOB. WHEN I TURNING STAR THE ENGINE SOUNDS SOMETIMES VERY RARE.

MY CAR ONLY HAS 65000 MILES. MY CAR IS STALLING ON ME WHEN SHIFTING TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RUN DIAGNOSTIC AND CAME BACK WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUE.

THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKING FINE AS WE WERE RUNNING ERRANDS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. THE CAR ALSO BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN STALL. ALL THIS HAPPENED IN MINUTES. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET CREATING AN UNSAFE POSITION. WE TOOK THE CAR TO AUTOZONE AFTER IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR AGAIN AND THEY PULLED A DIAGNOSTIC CODE OF P0776. THE CODE IS TRANSMISSION RELATED. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS THAT NIGHT.

THE CAR SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION). THERE WHERE NO INDICATORS LIGHTS TO WARN US OF ANY PROBLEMS. WE STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND IT DIED AGAIN AFTER A FEW SECONDS. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSES THE CAR TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. WE WERE PARKED AND STARTED THE CAR A PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT WHEN IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. UNKNOWN REASON FOR THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN. ..*BF. *TR

I WAS TURNING RIGHT TO PARK MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA AND I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR TO STOP AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND JUMPED OVER THE CONCRETE CURB STOP. IT CONTINUED TO RUN UPSLOPE TO THE BUSHES AND OVER THREE BIG ROCKS WHILE I WAS TRYING TO AVOID HITTING THE FENCE IN THE FRONT AND BRAKING IT. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE FORWARD AND I KEPT TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID A FENCE. THE CAR RAN OVER THE CURB STOP OF ANOTHER PARKING SPACE ABOUT FIVE SPACES ON THE RIGHT. THE BOLT IN THE CONCRETE STOP PUNCTURED MY OIL PAN AND THE ROCKS RIBBED OFF THE PLASTIC SHIELDS UNDERNEATH. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY PUMPING THE BRAKE AND WIND UP IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I CHECKED MY FOOT WAS...

2 WEEKS BACK I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY CAR SLOWED DOWN. THE RPM WAS VERY HIGH BUT THE SPEED WAS AROUND 20MPH. LOOKED LIKE TRANSMISSION STUCK AT LOWER GEAR. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 100FT OF UPHILL AND IT COULD NOT TOW. ONLY ONE PERSON AND LOST POWER IN GAS. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED THE GAS, THE RPM WAS LOW AND COULD NOT PULL CAR UPHILL. YESTERDAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TODAY MY DEALER SAYS THERE IS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. SOMETHING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. RECENTLY LESS THAN YEAR AGO, THEY REPLACED FEW THINGS WHICH WAS UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. NOW I HAVE 63K AND OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TOTAL COST IS ABOUT $1300.00. HOW CAN SUCH A REPUTED BRAND CAR HAVE SO MANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITHIN A YEAR? THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN.

IN 2017 NISSAN HAS ME COME IN FOR A CVT TRANSMISSION UPGRADE. AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE AT THE NISSAN OF COOL SPRINGS AND I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH, SHAKING, AND JOLTING WHEN I ACCELERATED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED DEALERSHIP AND ASKED TO HAVE A TECH DRIVE THE CAR TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM. THE TECH GOT IN, RODE OFF, CAME BACK AND SAID IT WAS ALL RUNNING FINE. I ACCEPTED THAT AND ASSUMED IT WAS ONLY A MOMENTARY PROBLEM. I GOT BACK IN MY CAR AND IT WAS STILL DOING IT. I CAME BACK AND ASKED THE TECH TO RIDE WITH ME. IT DID IT WITH HIM IN THE CAR AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR HAD TO "ADAPT TO MY DRIVING STYLE." 2018, AT 48,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED TO STALL ON ME WHEN IT WAS IDLE. IT WOULD START RIGHT BACK...

I AM EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT CVT FAILURES AT MILEAGE: 45000. ONCE I WAS STATIONARY AND IN THE OTHER INSTANCE I WAS ON THE CITY STREET, WHEN I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN POWER LOSS, ALL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WHENEVER I STARTED MY CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE IT JUST TURNED OFF. AFTER 4 TO 5 TRIES CAR STARTED. I LOOKED UP ONLINE AND IT HAD SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO THE CVT FAILURE. I WENT TO NISSAN SERVICE CENTRE TWICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING AND SAID EVERYTHING IS IN PERFECT CONDITION.

MY VEHICLE STALLED AS I WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. WOULD NOT START AND I COASTED TO THE SIDE AND HAD TO GET A TOW. CHECK ENGINE LITE WAS ON. NO CODES FOUND. CAR SAT FOR A WEEK AND THEN STARTED RIGHT UP AND DROVE FINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. CAR STARTED STALLING AGAIN ONLY WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, AND AS LONG AS I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND GAVE IT GAS, THEN THREW IT INTO DRIVE I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT. STILL NO LIGHT ON. CAR DROVE SEMI GOOD FOR A WEEK OR SO, SEEMED TO RUN A LITTLE ROUGH BUT DIDN'T STALL OUT. A FEW DAYS AGO IT STARTED TO NOT TAKE GAS AND REV UP ON ITS OWN. I WOULD START TO GO AND THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE BY ITSELF. WHEN I WAS ON HIGHWAY, OR REGULAR ROADS. USUALLY UNDER...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 60 MPH. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START PROPERLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE BATTERY HAD TO BE JUMPSTARTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED BENTON NISSAN OF HOOVER AT (205) 938-6103 (LOCATED AT 1640 MONTGOMERY HWY, HOOVER, AL 35216) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY KEY FOB. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR SHUTTERED AND CUT OFF AFTER HAVING STOPPED FOR A LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I PRESS THE EXHILARATOR TO CONTINUE ON. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BREAK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. EVERY TIME I WOULD DRIVE TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR IT WOULD CUT OFF. IT KEPT DOING THIS OVER AND OVER. LOCAL POLICE CAME AND WITH THE HELP OF A GOOD SAMARITAN PUSHED MY CAR OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE PLACE. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER TEST DID NOT SHOW ANY CODES FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY ENDED UP UPDATING THE TRANSMISSION MODULE AND SAID THEY HOPED THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND I HAVE HAD TO AVOID STOPPING AT LIGHTS DUE...

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 113 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SENSE PUT 160K HIGHWAY MILES ON IT BUT HAVE HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW BECAUSE I GET IT SERVICED REGULARLY. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK LAST WEEK AND AT 30-45 MPH THE RPMS STARTED JUMPING BETWEEN 1K AND 2K. ONCE I GOT PAST 60 MPH THIS STOPPED BUT EVENTUALLY MY CAR WOULD STUTTER AND STALL AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS MAKING IT DANGEROUS IF TURNING IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC OR COMING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. I TOOK IT IN IMMEDIATELY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS OUT I WOULD NEED TO PAY $4500 OUT OF POCKET. I GOT A SECOND OPINION AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP I SERVICE IT AT THAT IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED WHEN THEY TOLD ME TO, YET THERE...

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 45K MILES ON IT. THE CAR STARTS UP AND IDLES IN PARK JUST FINE. HOWEVER, WHEN I SHIFT IT INTO GEAR (DRIVE OR REVERSE), THE CAR SPUTTERS AND STALLS. IT DOESN'T SPUTTER AND STALL UNTIL I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I AM ABLE TO DRIVE IT JUST FINE IF I IMMEDIATELY PRESS ON THE GAS AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON ONLY WHEN THE CAR STALLS. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN THERE WAS NO CODE RECORDED - NOT SURE WHY. IT HAPPENED WITH ME 5 TIMES IN A ROW IN A DAY.

I OWN A NISSAN ALTIMA 2013, AND SADLY I'VE MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE THAN ANY OTHER I EVER OWNED. THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN IN NOTION AND STATIONERY. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE TRIES TO EVEN GET IT STARTED. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON THE BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR BAG SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE HOOD LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. AND THE BACK BRAKES HAVE BEEN CHANGED THREE TIMES AND IT S STILL HAS A AWFUL LENGTHY SQUEAK WHICH IS VERY EMBARRASSING. SO SAY THE LEAST THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING CONSIDERING I'M STILL PAYING OVER THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH FOR A CAR NOT AND STILL HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SUPPOSEDLY DOES NOT COVER. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PURCHASE. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED OVER TIME AND I'M STILL HAVING...

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 35K MILES ON IT, I CAME TO A STOPLIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND MY CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, I COULD NOT MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL, IT JUST CUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO CUT MY CAR BACK ON, HOWEVER WHENEVER I SHIFTED MY GEAR INTO DRIVE IT CUT OFF AGAIN. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE BUT REPROGRAMMED MY CVT SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR MY CAR. THEY DETERMINED THAT AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 25 MINUTES THAT DAY AND 25 MINUTES THE NEXT THAT THE CVT REPROGRAMMING COULD HAVE BEEN THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BUT TO RETURN IT TO THE DEALER IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. 3 DAYS...

MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IS THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED IT, THERE HAS BEEN A CONSTANT ENGINE NOISE UNTIL I REACH ABOUT 40 MPH. JUST IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS, WITHIN WEEKS OF EACH OTHER BOTH FRONT INSIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKE (MY KIDS AND I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN BOTH WINDOWS JUST TO GET OUT OF THE CAR WHICH WOULD BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, CRASH OR BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR AT ALL), THE DOME LIGHTS THROUGH THE INSIDE OF THE CAR HAVE STOPPED WORKING (WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO SEE INSIDE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT), THE LIGHT IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL FELL OUT, THE AC HAS GONE OUT (AND THE COMPRESSOR PART IS $425!!!!

DURING HILL ASCENCION, GOING AT AROUND 15-25,30 MPH,FAINT KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE, (OR AT POWER BRAKE AS WELL; CAR ON STATIONARY WITH D ENGAGED AND PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL WHILE GENTLY ACCELARATING ). TOOK TO DEALER TO DIAGNOSE; DIAGNOSE: ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT (DONE). KNOCKING NOISE STILL PRESENT. TAKEN TO DEALER FOR FURTHER ASSESSMENT DIAGNOSE " NORMAL NOISE"??? I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT NONE OF MY OTHER CARS DO THIS NOISE, THIS NOISE IS DONE BY CARS IN WHICH THE ENGINE IS DYING OUT. FYI CAR IS 20 MILES TO BE 60000 MILES, WHICH IS WHEN THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRES

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR BUT SPECIFICALLY WHEN AT A RED LIGHT AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AT A GREEN LIGHT -SMOOTH TRANSITION BUT I COULD HEAR/FEEL THE TRANSMISSION SPUTTER AS IF IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING INTO GEAR I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AND THOUGHT IT WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM BUT THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AND NOT ONLY AT A RED LIGHT. IT WOULD HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY, THE STREETS AND AT RANDOM TIMES BUT MOSTLY AS MY SPEED WOULD GRADUALLY CHANGE USUALLY WHEN STARTING TO GO SLOWER... I HAD A MECHANIC IN MY CAR NOTICE THIS AND ASK IF I HAD THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT AND THAT POSSIBLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION AS HE HAD COME ACROSS THIS ISSUE BEFORE WITH ALTIMAS. I AM CURRENTLY BEING TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY ISSUE BUT I BELIEVE THIS...

I DROVE MY CAR ON FEBRUARY 28 FROM MY GARAGE IN MY HOUSE IN BOLTON, MA TO LEXINGTON MA AT 9 AM. UPON STARTING, I NOTICED A SLIGHT STRANGE SMELL. IT WAS A BIT LIKE OIL OR MAYBE CHEMICAL SMELLS BUT I AM NOT SURE AS I HAD NOT SMELLED THIS BEFORE. I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS AS I DROVE TO CLEAR IT AND KEPT AN EYE ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, WHICH WAS NORMAL. AFTER 5 MINS, THE SMELL CLEARED, THE HEAT TEMP WAS NORMAL AND I DROVE FOR ABOUT 40 MINS WHILE TALKING ON MY BLUETOOTH. I PARKED IN FRONT OF GRACE CHAPEL IN LEXINGTON ON THE STREET AND AS I PULLED TO A STOP TO PARK ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH, I NOTICED SOME SMOKE. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE CAR.

WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR THE RPMS START JUMPING. WEN U GO TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT CLUNCKS. AND WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE IT WONT GO FASTER THAN 40. (GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR)

DEAR NHSTA YESTERDAY, WHEN I WAS AT A STOP, MY CAR STARTING TO "JUMP" FORWARD. AFTER WORKING A 12 HOUR SHIFT, I DECIDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY. BUT ON MY WAY TO WORK THE FOLLOWING DAY, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45-50MPH AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I CAME TO A BUSY INTERSECTION AND STOPPED WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE IT JUST STOPPED. I TURNED IT OFF TO RESTART, PUT IT IN PARK AND IT STULLED AGAIN. I WAS IN A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION "5 LANES". I HAD TO CALL 911 TO HELP DIRECT TRAFFIC SO THEY COULD PUSH MY CAR OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE ONLY 61000 MILES AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THE CAR. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD IT IS THE CVT. I AM AN ICU/ER NURSE. I BOUGHT A NISSAN DUE TO SAFETY RATINGS. LEAVING...

STOPPED ON THE DRIVEWAY WAITING FOR THE GARAGE DOOR TO OPEN AND THE CAR DIED. THE CAR STARTS AND IDLES, BUT IT DIES WHEN PUTTING IN GEAR. GAS IS 3/4 FULL, ALL LIGHTS WORK AND ARE NOT DIM.

MY CAR HAS 46000 MILES IN IT. SEVERAL TIMES NOW WHILE I AM DRIVING MOSTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STARTING AGAIN AFTER BEING STOPPED THE CAR SHAKES REALLY BAD AND THEN DIES. IT IS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IF IT OCCURS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY COULD BE DISASTEROUS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. SEE THE LINK HERE TO OTHER OWNERS HACING THE SAME PROBLEM.

THERE IS A LOUD RUMBLING NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATE, AND UPON RESEARCH, I SAW ONLINE THAT A LOT OF BUYERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS I AM. IT JUST DOESN'T SOUND GOOD, I OWNED A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA A FEW YEARS BACK AND THIS CAR SOUNDED BETTER THAN MY CURRENT 2013 ALTIMA. JUST SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD BEAT UP CAR AND IT IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD.

THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

ONE OF THE MAIN PROBLEMS IS FAILURE TO START OR STOP. THE OTHER IS THE NOISY TRANSMISSION. NOT A VERY DEPENDABLE CAR. NOW I HEARD A RECALL BECAUSE OF HOOD LATCHES. AS FOR ENGINE PROBLEM COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU WERE ON AN INTERSTATE AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DIES. TRANSMISSION VERY NOISY ALL THE TIME.

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING OFF N ON W NO PASSENGER...SCARED SOMETHINGS NOT GONNA WORK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. CAR JERKING ON HGHWY NOT ACCELERATING ..N LOSS OF POWER MID DRIVE OR TURN..I HAVE KIDS N THIS IS BECOMING A DEATH TRAP..W NO CK ENGINE LIGHT .

INTERMITTENTLY THE CAR IS COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE ENGINE STARTS VIBRATING WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR BRAKING AND TURNS OFF. IT WILL START IMMEDIATELY7-8 TIMES IN A ROW BUT WILL TURN TURN OFF AS SOON AS THE TRANSMISSION IS PUT INTO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5-6 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE NISSAN DEALER ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL US THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES SHOWING UP!
