What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan altima. While the vehicle was parked and while driving, there was a strong fuel odor present in the vehicle. The contact stated that the fuel odor was an excessive continuous variable transmission fume. There were no visible leaks present. The local dealer, howell motors, informed the contact that no fumes were present; however, an independent mechanic confirmed that the transmission valve became loose.
I parked the car for a few minutes left it idling. When I returned, strapped my child in the car seat then got in waiting for her mother. When she got in pulled out of the spot the car hesitated to accelerate, I drove a few miles in what I got to know as limp mode trying to understand what's going on. When we reached destination, turn car off and then back on it was fine. Returned them home then on my way home it happened again. I diagnosed the car and got p0776 solenoid stuck/off.
