Description of the problem	we have had many problems with our cars cvt transmission since it was purchased new in 2010. The transmission, without any indication, goes into a safe mode which causes the car to loose acceleration. This has happened to us several times,usually after long trips (70 miles or more) at highway speeds. It has also happened in parking lots or just stopping to make a turn. The car has been to the nissan dealer 2-times and both times they removed oil,claiming the excess oil caused the transmission to overheat which put it into the safe mode. On dec. 31,2013 we were on a return trip of 70 miles or so when we exited the freeway. We came to a stop at a traffic signal and upon trying to accelerate,the transmission once again went in the safe mode,hindering our ability to accelerate across the intersection. We slowly drove the short distance home parking the car. In the past,we parked the car allowing it to cool so it would "reset" but this time the car remained in the safe mode the next day. We had it towed to nissan. Nissan claims they cannot duplicate the problem and our car is ready for pickup. This transmission fails without warning and upon doing so makes it accelerate very,very slowly which puts us in grave danger. I will not put my grand kids in this death trap nor does my wife want to drive it. I have seen the many,many internet complaints about this same cvt problem. If i or my wife get killed trying to cross an intersection when this failure occurs,this will be the reason why. When i pick up our car jan 6th,2014,i plan to drive it to the toyota dealer to seek a trade in on a camry. This nissan is going to get people killed.

What is Recall?
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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
