Description of the problem	My nissan 2008 altima started stalling while i pulled into traffic. It was happening for several months and was random. I took my car into nissan, after realizing there was a cvt transmission recall for this car. They examined the car and determined that there was no problem with the car, because the car did not report any diagnostic code. They told me to come back, when the car stalled and they could get the necessary code, since the car was experiencing the problem the code would be in the system. I had reported this problem to nissan corporate and got case number. On may 7, 2018, nissan found the code and the problem was a bad cvt transmission. Nissan determined to pay half the cost of replacing my transmission. On may 18,2018, i picked up my car and experienced the same problem driving away from the dealership. I called back and the manager said the problem was caused by high fluids and to drive the car over the weekend and it should be fine. Well, i stalled while driving into traffic two more times over the weekend. I called nissan corporate to say that the problem is not fixed. They have refused to do anything. I do not feel safe in this car and am terrified to drive it. I'm driving an unsafe car and nissan is not helping ... At least for now
