Description of the problem	I bought my car brand new with only 113 miles on it. I have sense put 160k highway miles on it but have had no issues until now because i get it serviced regularly. I was driving to work last week and at 30-45 mph the rpms started jumping between 1k and 2k. Once i got past 60 mph this stopped but eventually my car would stutter and stall at traffic lights making it dangerous if turning in front of traffic or coming through intersections. I took it in immediately for diagnostics and was told i needed a new transmission and since my warranty was out i would need to pay $4500 out of pocket. I got a second opinion and i was told by the dealership i service it at that it was my fault because i didn't have the transmission flushed when they told me to, yet there is nothing in the owners manual stating this is a requirement, only a recommendation by the dealer. As shady as dealerships are these days of course i didn't have it done because i assumed they were charging me for something unnecessarily. I spoke with a mechanic friend of mine and he said the transmission flush would have done nothing to prevent my transmission fail. What is even worse is that no warning lights came on and my dash looked the same as it always does, the only lights that came on were my battery and brake lights when my car shut off at a traffic light, but it started right back up after that. I have asked for assistance from nissan and have been denied even though i have serviced my car with the dealer even after my warranty expired. There are 4 other people in my family that own nissans but apparently that means nothing to this company. Needless to say if i can get this thing traded in on a honda i will never purchase a nissan again! Also, just do a google search of problems with nissan altimas. The results are staggering.

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.
