Description of the problem	I have a 2011 nissan altima throwing cvt transmission codes. The car accelerates quickly to high rpm's and you have to take your foot off the gas to make the car drive properly. Nissan is fully aware of the cvt transmission issues as they have an extended manufacturer warranty up to 120k miles. However, it caps off at 2010 models. I was told my vin is not covered. I called nissan consumer affairs, but currently jumping hoops to see if this is covered. If nissan wants to sell vehicles with cvt transmissions, their warranty should be extended for all models and years. This is a known issue and should be addressed. We should not have to bare costs of 3000-5500 to replace a faulty transmission. This should be a recall. Currently, nissan just waits to see if a problem arises. They will most likely not cover this. I was never notified about problems with the cvt transmission. My car has 110k miles and should not need a new transmission. I have maintained my vehicle. This is unfair practice to consumers and find it appalling that you spend thousands of dollars on a brand new vehicle only to have a bad transmission that will break sooner rather than later. I have read numerous consumer complaints from nissan owners having cvt transmission issues with different mileage counts and models. All nissan owners should be made aware and all should have the extended manufacturer warranty. If the transmission is causing problems in so many nissan vehicles, its not the owner. It is clearly the manufacturer. Nissan should take responsibility and replace bad cvt transmissions when problems arise. I am truly surprised nothing has been done yet after reading numerous complaints about the same problem from nissan owners. If automobile companies want to continue selling cvt transmissions, they should have better warranties. I will never buy a vehicle with cvt transmission again.

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
