Description of the problem	Help (continuously variable transmission) nissan apparently has a "extended warranty for the cvt on certain vehicle models including altima between 2003-2010 year. The warranty states that you may replace part to 10years/120,000 miles which ever comes first. Here's the problem never got a letter with this extended warranty information so i could of had my cvt replaced. Two days ago as i was driving on one of fl. Busiest hwy where speeds are up to 70 mph my 08 nissan altima starts decelerate yes while my foot was on the gas pedal the car began to decelerate with out know notice the service engine soon light was not on so i was in a state of shock because i am in the middle lane of a three lane hwy freaked out cars coming behind me at high speeds i did but my emergency lights on so i could try to find away to maneuver my way off the hwy wait it gets better so as i have my foot on the gas pedal at a speed of 1 mph the car is in stall mode aka pressing on gas and just barely going. Well as i was getting in the outer lane to get off the hwy the car when from one mph and just accelerated i almost caused a major mva i ended up in the ditch luckily no one was hurt i immediately turned the car off. I ended up taking it to a mechanic who told me that it could be the fuel injector but couldn't be for sure because the service engine light was not on they couldn't detect the problem with the machine, the car service engine soon light came on soon after reaching over 120,000 miles. I wanted nissan to have recall this is dangerous and it is not right something needs to be done before it becomes worse like it for ford, gm ect.... They should have sent people letters or ever put a courtesy consumer report thru news as to the extended warranty but they didn't do it why?(money)pleas this is dangerous i am not the first person with this same problem.

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?
