Transmisson Suggestions

Thanks for the info and the link. Hope its ends up being the MAF as she has 92,000 miles on the car. I had seen extensions to 10/100K .

I have had Nissan's since 1986 and the CVT since they came out and never had an issue.i I am a little disappointed with Nissan but quality seems to have dropped everywhere

I'd bring it right to the dealer. My daughter bought a RAV4 that started shuddering soon after she got it. Turns out they had extended the warranty for it, they replaced the torque converter no charge, been great ever since. Hopefully Nissan will something similar for you.

Whatever you do, don't try and diagnose it yourself. If you go somewhere to have it checked out don't tell them you think the transmission is bad. Go somewhere reputable and let them tell you what's wrong.

This utube video shows what is inside a Nissan CVT transmission.

1st 60 seconds of Part 2 explains all.

Apparently there was a crack in the taillight that was letting water in and causing a false braking indicator to the computer. Replaced the taillight and reprogrammed transmission and all is well now. Was about $700

I didn't think a 2015 would have that kind of technology, esp a lower end vehicle like an Altima?

YouTube's expert Scotty Kilmer has repeatedly said the same thing.

As I tried to express elsewhere, "Your next car will be an old car".

Out of curiosity, I've checked major sites as to how much as "totally-rebuilt" restorations would cost. My search regarding an old 1971 Volkswagen camper "totally-rebuilt" turned up a 1971 Volkswagen camper, disassembled, rotated on an automotive "rotisserie" to remediate any rust intrusions, undercoated, repainted, ŕebuilt with a larger engine and otherwise totally restored, is now available in California for $80,000.

If purchased, this one example could be worth more money next year, as you drive it!
