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!!
