I have a 2008 Nissan Altima S, 2.5. I loved this car when I test drove it, but shortly after I bought it, it started to sputter. It reminds me of older cars that used to have an engine miss. But, it's the CVT, I think. I've complained tothe dealer numerous times and they tell me it's normal.

It usually happens around 30-40 mph and when I need the response because I'm merging or need to get around somebody. I've pretty much gone to using the auto-stick all the time. It ticks me off because if I wanted a manual transmission, I would've bought one!

The last time I had it at the dealer they manager told me that Nissan may be coming out with a software fix for this problem....has anyone else experienced this or heard about the software upgrade?

I'm to the point where I might get rid of it and get an Accord or something without a CVT!!

It felt weird for the first little while for me too but I've adapted to it now. I just step on the gas more aggressively and the CVT works well. I wouldn't go for an Accord if I were you

It's really bad. I can't believe they can sell these cars and not have a mutiny on their hands! I was thinking about getting a Murano, but have completely washed my hands of Nissan and anything that has the CVT.

I've driven a few Altima CVT's and all are very smooth, at any throttle setting. I really think you should go to a dealer and test drive another Altima CVT. There is definitely something wrong with yours.

My 09 Altima 2.5SL sedan does not have that, at least I have never noticed. You should certainly get it checked.

However, the good part is Nissan has 10 yrs/120k miles warranty on your CVT. No other auto manufacturer has that.

I just got a used 09 2.5S and love it, I have not had any issues like you describe... if I were you I would be fighting with the dealer to get it fixed.

I have the 08 2.5S sedan and it does the exact same thing!! I haven't talked to the dealer about it yet though...I just bought the car a few months ago.

This is why I bought a manual tranny.
