Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2008
File date	02/04/18

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Cvt transmission replaced at 82,139 miles. An extension of the warranty was done for a large number of cvt transmissions extending to 120,000 miles. My daughters vehicle is at 147,000 miles and the car just about quit running on the interstate 55 south on her way back to college. We had to have it towed 200 miles home and the transmission must be replaced again at a cost of $3500 and the car is not worth that much money. Nissan did not correct the transmission problem, they just put another cvt transmission in the first time. This was an unsafe and unethical practice. They will not do anything about it nor give any credit because they say there are too many miles on the car. Although there is only 65,000 miles on the transmission itself.
