Description of the problem	On april 29, 2017 while sitting at a stop light, this vehicle stalled at a busy highway intersection and could not be moved, when the cvt transmission went out. After contacting nissan i was told that it is my responsibility to pay the $5000 for a new transmission. I have only owned this car for 1 year and it has less than 80,000 miles on it. I have the documentation that the cvt was reprogrammed at 24,781 miles. This is obviously an ongoing issue with the nissan cvt transmissions, and even the warranty on 2010 has been increased the 120,000, but not the 2013. It is a shame that i had a 2005 nissan with over 200,000 miles and it still ran great, but unfortunately i sold it to buy a newer nissan, expecting the same reliability. I have currently been without this vehicle for over a month. This 2013 altima was previously a leased vehicle and has had all necessary maintenance preformed, but nissan is still not standing behind their vehicle. Is it going to take a death caused by the cvt before nissan will agree they are a fault? I have had over $200 in towing expenses alone plus the inconvenience of not having a vehicle for such a long period of time. Nissan should be ashamed to put their name on a transmission that has so many issues. It is nearly impossible to get to talk to a nissan representative and i am currently making payments on a useless vehicle.
