What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan altima. The contact stated the vehicle abnormally accelerated while pulling into an uphill parking spot at speeds of 5 MPH. The vehicle crashed into a large cement pillar and came to a stop. There were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to the bodyshop and repaired. The failure and current mileage were 850. Updated 06/25/10 updated 07/27/10 the consumer stated there was abnormal acceleration, due to electronic throttle control, or drive by wire. There were no codes.
After buying the car in late 2019, it came to my attention that the CVT transmission was faulty. I later found that the year, model, and make of my vehicle was included in a recall of the CVT transmissions, among other saftey issues. After having the vehicle inspected by three different shops, the conclusion was made that it was indeed the CVT transmission and stepper motor causing the problems. Upon further examination, it was found that my vehicle has not had a recall replacement of the faulty parts as of yet.
