Description of the problem	I was driving my 2012 nissan altima on a busy 4 lane road. I was in the turning lane when my car refused to accelerate. I had power and the engine revved when i pushed on the pedal, but the car would not move. I put the car in park, shut it off and restarted it. The car then jerked its way through the intersection. A few hundred more yards and it stopped again in the middle of the road. I restarted multiple times but it would not move. I had it towed to my mechanic and i was told it was a failed cvt transmission. I called nissan america to see if they would help, and they said tow it to a nissan dealership and they would review it and see if they would help. I contacted nissan and they said my cvt transmission failed and that it was out of warranty. It will cost over $4000 to replace it. This is a dangerous event. I did not know when i bought the car about the problems nissan has had with these transmissions. After a week of waiting, nissan america came back and said they would not help. They would not offer a reason why. I asked about the fact that the cvt transmissions had so many problems that nissan retroactively doubled the warranty on models before 2010, would they do that for my 2012. I was told no. I asked to speak with a manager and i was refused, saying the review process is complete. I am lucky that i was not involved in an accident considering what happened. I am angry that this dangerous situation occurred. And i am frustrated that after suggesting they might help, nissan wasted another week of my time, when i could have gotten it fixed by my mechanic, instead of bringing it to a dealership.
