| Description of the problem | The 2011 nissan altima has a cvt transmission and this continues to go out and will every 12,000 miles. No service provider wants to fix this issue because of the unreliable part and not only is this is a costly fix but it only guarantee the most a year or less (close to $3000. 00 to fix). I don't understand how the other models with nissan with this type of transmission the warranty was extended. I believe any vehicle with a cvt transmission needs to be recalled and replaced. |
