Description of the problem	I have a 2012 nissan altima. I have already replaced the transmission once last year when the car had 80,000 miles on it. The transmission went when traveling on a long trip, after a hours when going approx 65 mph and trying the car failed to acccelerate. The car then would not go over 40 mph. This was a very dangerous situation asthere was a tractor trailer behind me, which forced him to slam on breaks. Very dangerous and scarey situation for all involved. Again this year while traveling for approx 2 hours the same thing happened. I had to pull off the road on the left had side to avoid an accident. I have read numerous other instances where the same thing has happened. Someone is going to be killed or has already been. The 2nd time it happened at approx 99,000 miles. I have already contact nissan and am going to take car for a diagnostic, if i am able to get it there. I believe that other cars for other years have already been recalled due to a class action suit. I have been doing alot of research on this car and year and numerous others have had same complete. Very dangerous and deadly accidents will occur if nothing done on nissan part. There is no warning that anything will happen. The lights in the car did not go on, and even after pulling over did not go on
