| Description of the problem | My wife's altima transmission shudders when driving and the vehicle has went into limp mode several times while driving it at highway speeds due to the transmission problem. She was almost involved in an accident due to the vehicle suddenly without warning drop speed from engaging limp mode. Vehicle has just over 70k miles and the dealer states the vehicle is out of warranty and they did not extend the cvt warranty like they had on previous model years. Now we have a vehicle that needs a 4,000 transmission and hardly any mileage that would warrant a transmission replacement. |
