Description of the problem	While driving the car but specifically when at a red light and attempting to accelerate at a green light -smooth transition but i could hear/feel the transmission sputter as if it was having trouble getting into gear i didn't think much of it and thought it would not continue to be a problem but then it started happening more often and not only at a red light. It would happen on the freeway, the streets and at random times but mostly as my speed would gradually change usually when starting to go slower... I had a mechanic in my car notice this and ask if i had the transmission looked at and that possibly there was a recall on the transmission as he had come across this issue before with altimas. I am currently being told there is no recall or extended warranty for my issue but i believe this to be false and want my car fixed as it is only 4 years old and should not have such a major issue. Up until 2016 i had been happy with my altima and considering my next one. Now i am not so sure.

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.
