Description of the problem	My daughter and i were about 30 minutes north of san antonio on our way home to dallas. In an instance my car stopped accelerating and the mph declined. I checked to make sure the car was still in drive and it was. I pulled over as to not cause an accident and turned off my car. It took a few times to start it back as it would start and die. About the 3rd try it started and i revved the gas - it sounded normal so i drove to an autozone - it was the closest. I asked if they would check the computer to see what it said and they said it wouldn't read w/o a code. I took the car 10/1/12 to bankston nissan in dallas (the car drove fine all the way home) and they said it may be too much cvt fluid. Took it in and they couldn't duplicate the issue and the fluid was fine - did not need to be changed or anything. The tech said when it happens again to pull over and have it towed to a nissan - he thinks maybe since i restarted it may have cleared the codes. I asked if he thought it would happen again and he said yes. Looking online i see this same description and issue over and over again. I even called nissan consumer affairs and received a call back... This did not happen before when i had a master cylinder issue that was recalled 6 months later. Nissan at that time just said sorry. This time i got a call back inquiring, but then still get a sorry. I think something is up. They all seem to know the issue but w/o a code they wont replace the transmission under warranty. What if there is never a code??!!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
