Description of the problem	I purchased this car just five years ago from a nissan dealership in ca. I don't drive it much because i use a work vehicle during the week. Over the last year, i've had problems with rattling, transmission delays and sudden surges in power. A few weeks ago, the car lost its ability to accelerate while heading over the grapevine to socal. The car suddenly slowed to 35 mph on the highway! I had to quickly switch lanes in order to avoid a collision. Once in the slow lane, the car held up traffic and numerous angry drivers sped around me. This is a huge safety issue!!! The car only has 96,000 miles on it. This shouldn't happen! Today, i took the car to my local nissan dealership for a 90k service. An advisor called me several hours later to inform me i need to replace the transmission at the cost of more than $3,700. He also said the car has several hose leaks, etc. These are suspiciously similar problems other drivers reported having with their 2013-2016 altimas as well as 2006-2010 altimas. Why was the 2011 left out of the warranty extension and class action lawsuit? I could have been struck by another car when my altima suddenly lost power on the highway! It could have impacted the lives of other drivers around me! Nissan needs to fix its transmission issues. It's becoming a safety issue! The company also needs to take care of it's customers - if it doesn't want to lose them forever! I can not believe my car needs a new transmission when it has under 96,000 miles! I had a toyota camry last til 365,000 miles! I would definitely not recommend buying a nissan!!! You just may put lives at risk!
