Description of the problem	I was traveling on the 60w in moreno valley. The temperature was about 90, it was pretty dry and hot. I was cruising along at 70 mph with my brother, infant niece and 10 year old son. When all of the sudden the speed just dropped to about 35 mph, due to there not being any warning at all (no error lights or brake lights), the car behind us nearly rear ended us. They had to swerve so suddenly it almost caused them to crash into the car next to us. I ended up pulling over for a few minutes, everything seemed to be fine, so we continued the drive home. About 8 miles down the road, the car's speed dropped again. This time i was already in the slow lane and was able to avoid any near crashes. I brought the car to nissan in corona ca. After a couple days, they were able to diagnose the problem being the cvt. I feel there should be some sort of a recall on the altima cvt. Nissan has been aware of the potential problem with the speed reducing while the cvt goes into safe mode without any warning to the driver or others on the road. Nissan has known about this issue for quite some time, but they do not seem to care about their customer's safety and well-being.
