Description of the problem	I purchased my 2013 nissan altima 3. 5 sl with about 18,000 miles in may of 2013. The car performed well in the beginning. At about 28773 miles the car began to shutter hesitate and not shift properly. Upon inclines hills low speeds, low rpm's it was especially noticable. I brought my nissan to a local dealership and they reprogrammed the automatic transmission control module. The car performed normally but then intermittently the same problem the shutter, lack of shifting properly the hestation, jerky strong vibrations, jumping of rpm's. I brought it back to the local nissan dealership and they again reprogrammed the transmission control module. It was road tested and they reccommended the transaxle be replaced for repair. This was at 55002 miles. I was informed that the new transmission warranty would be 10 years and 120,000 miles. My concern is the safety for consumers. The car doesn't perform properly with the existing cvt transmission the belt slips and the car does not shift or is stuck in excelaration. It is an ongoing problem. The transaxle was replaced however i wasn't informed the existing problem was fixed correctly with the new transmission. I was informed about a warranty. I am concerned i wil encounter the same unsafe condition! The car was repaired as of 08/22/2015
