Description of the problem	In july/august of 2017, my vehicle was sputtering at lower speeds when accelerating or decelerating and then the vehicle would suddenly turn off. There were several scenarios when this happened during busy traffic. Upon receiving a manufacturer recall, i took the vehicle to the dealership for maintenance on the transmission computer system. All seemed fixed until june of 2018 when the vehicle was having the same issues, again while in the middle of traffic. I took the vehicle into the dealership and the dealership is telling me the transmission torque converter was damaged and i need to replace the entire transmission at a cost of $4,300. Upon internet research, it seems this has been a common problem for nissan's cvt transmission; in fact, nissan extended 2012 and previous models transmission warranties to 10 year 120,000 miles. So far, nissan has offered no assistance or good will in fixing the defected part / issue.
