Description of the problem	My altima has 257k miles. I was driving home from a friend's house and the car just died on my street. The engine made a whining sound and would not go over 5 mph. Luckily i was able to coast the car down the hill to my house. The car has been well maintained and i am replacing the cvt transmission for the second time. The last time i replaced it was 3 years ago in 2016. Most of my mileage is hwy miles. I have read numerous complaints online regarding the crappy cvt transmission in the altima. The dealer is putting in my 3rd transmission today and only guaranteeing a 1 year / 12000 mile warranty. This does not sound like they are backing their product. From all that i have read and experienced, the car is a total safety issue losing speed in warm weather on long trips that could result in serious accidents. Could there be a recall coming?
