Description of the problem	Transmission recall. The cvt transmission is bad on these on model altimas. They overheat and lose all power and the car wont accelerate . There is no warning light, no warning sound, it just goes out, where ever while in motion! My car did this last time on the freeway. You have to sit until the transmission cools off .. I have been on the side of the road in many places, i almost got hit the last time in the middle of the freeway. You can't drive more than 2 hours at 70 without it happening. Nissan recalled the part and extended teh warrantys but the parts still do it. The transmision shouldn't even be serviced until 100000 miles! Theses cars should easily get 200-250,000 miles. Nissan is negligent in not recalling them at all! Thousands of people have this "known" issue and it could cause someone to be killed! I am on the 4th transmission repair and it still does it! They need to recall the car model before someone gets hurt! It does it while in motion, which is frightening with no warning! I should not have to pay for this repari as it did it at 20000 miles first! The nthsa needs to make them recall the car
