r/altima

Recently drove about an hour in cruise control going about 70, going up a hill I heard a loud rev and it knocked me out of cruise control and I heard a whine, fast foward I had a broken pcv hose, replaced that now the car will not rev nor go into gear. Got code p1777 but before replacing that I was wondering if it could be the throttle bottle or something else causing the code ..

I have a 2017 Altima sv I had my compressor condenser ac pressure sensor and relay replaced and still have no AC!!! Does any one have any tips or places I could go to get the electrical looked at!

Does anyone know how to fix a bouncing rpm? It’s happening with and without cruise on. It just recently hit 100,000 miles. I’m hypothesizing it’s the spark plugs.

Just rented an Altima for a few days.

How do y'all deal with that LOUD blinker??

Kidding/not kidding.

Sorry if any of you saw this twice. The post got removed so I dug up this old account to post instead cause the other was too new.

So I recently purchased a 2017 Nissan Altima from a private seller. I was wondering if I should do a transmission drain and fill? Google is giving very mixed answers and experiences from owners. I don’t mind buying from private sellers, but you never know what was done and what wasn’t. My state requires inspections when buying a car, and everything is fine with that so now i’m shifting my focus towards the transmission fluid, oil change, battery. It’s only got 78k miles. Transmission still seems pretty strong. It has this weird, very subtle jerk when coming to a stop but it’s not consistent.

Any thoughts? Better safe than sorry in my opinion but I’ve seen some say “don’t touch it if there’s nothing wrong with it.” but i’d rather not have it close to failing and THEN decide to do something about it.

The car died on the highway, and it was apparent that the battery was dead. The battery was old, so I replaced it and that was enough to get me home.

Once home, I checked the voltage across the battery with the car running, and it was below 12v, so I replaced the alternator. With the new alternator, I was seeing 14v or so (I don't really recall, but more than 13)

Then, last night, it died again. When I checked the voltage across the (new!) battery, it was 5v :-/

I jump-started it, and checked the voltage with it running, and, again, less that 12v :(

WTF? Thoughts?

Looking at purchasing a 2012 Altima. It has 50k km on the dash. No idea about the service history past 20k km. Worried about buying it solely from the CVT horror stories. Should I be worried? Price is relatively low, one owner, no accidents. Is it early enough in its mileage to get life out of the transmission by doing frequent fluid changes every 20-30k km, assuming it has not been done before? Thank you!

This has been an ongoing issue. My Altima is misfiring and running rough. I have changed the valve cover, plugs and coils and cleaned the throttle body. For awhile it seemed to run fine, but now it will die after a few seconds when I have it in park or idle and when driving it I can sometimes smell gas. The code its showing for the check engine is P0300 and Auto Zone suggested replacing the fuel pump. I dont want to replace the pump if thats not it. Has anyone had a similar issue? Any ideas on what it might be?

Went to go start my 07 Nissan Altima 3.5 and was overheating as a drive but is balanced in the temperature gauge. What does that mean? It still starts and runs but overheats as a drive. Going to a shop tomorrow to figure it out!! Need help figuring it out! The leak color is blue.. what does this mean? Do I need a new hose or water pump? Car has no check engine light

2017 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL (GCC spec) here in Abu Dhabi.

Current odo: 94,000 km
CVT fluid changed first time at 93,000 km
Engine oil changed regularly every 10,000 km
Driving mix: about 25 km daily commute, city + highway, usually 80–100 km/h

I’m getting around 8 km/L average checked tank to tank .

Wanted to check with other Altima 2.5 owners—especially GCC/UAE owners:

- Is 8 km/L normal for this car/driving pattern?
- What mileage are you getting?
- Anything I should check (CVT adaptation, spark plugs, throttle body, tire pressure, air filter, etc.)?

No warning lights, car feels normal.

Appreciate your inputs.
