Description of the problem	I bought my car pretty much brand new (it didn't even have 20 miles on it). My first transmission was leaking around 30,000 miles. Even though i asked my service advisor to check it, he assured me the tech's checked it and the only thing leaking was from the ac. I left, put the car on a lift, took pictures, and bought them to the dealer. They then replaced it under warranty. Around 90,000 miles, i started having issues getting the car to go after a complete stop. Its very random but is occurring more frequently. I was making a left turn yielding to traffic, i had plenty of time. However my car was crawling for 30 seconds or so. I am glad i didn't get stuck in the intersection. When a light turns green, people will beep their horn at me, or try to cut the people off in the other lanes to pass me. I frantically searched the web to find that tons of people are having this issue with nissan altimas of different years near mine. I was shocked to see that their were so many complaints between chat forms, complaint websites, and even so many youtube videos. You can push the gas pedal to the floor, but it crawls for a random amount of time (maybe up to a minute). Here is someone who captured it on video on a car without even 30,000: https://m. Youtube. Com/watch? V=uliodpoi1_m i called the dealer and they said my car was no longer under warranty and the replacement transmission warranty is only good for 12,000 miles or 12 months. Other companies have longer warranty periods for their transmissions. Ford has 2 years. Does nissan know how awful their transmissions are so they won't cover them for a longer period? I no longer feel safe in my car, and i feel like i could break down at any time, but i can't afford another car payment right now. Please don't let nissan get away with this any longer. Thank you for your help.

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.
