 Description of the problemTo whom this may concern, i own a 2013 nissan altima 4 cylinder with roughly 81000 miles on it. About 2 weeks ago i was driving and the car kept stalling out when i would come to a stop light, but i was able to restart and move on. However, in the middle of the high way it completely shut off on me and didn't restart. Thankfully the truck behind me had enough room to swerve to avoid hitting me. Me and my car would have been totaled. I received no warning lights before this issue, it happened out of no where. I received a diagnosis of "bad transmission" and was given an estimate of $4200+ tax. I was told that since my extended warranty ran out that i would be responsible for the payment in total. I did my research on this problem and it seems that many people are having the same issue as i am. I am beyond disappointed in nissan and their inability to warn customers about such a dangerous malfunction in their cars. This is incredibly unsafe and needs some type of investigation or recall done on the transmission. God forbid anyone has this issue and it costs their life. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
