Description of the problem	While travelling on a local artery road (40 mph speed limit), the car experienced rapid jerking or shuddering (forward and backward motion) during gear changes. At the next stop light, the car stalled so i shifted the gear shift from drive into park and re-started the car. As soon as i shifted the gear shift from park into drive, the car immediately stalled again. So i shifted back into park and re-started the car again. Then the car stalled again as soon as i shifted into drive. So i shifted into neutral and re-started the car again. Then i was able to shift the car into drive from neutral. Afraid to drive the car again, i immediately brought it to a nissan dealership for diagnosis and repair. They (the nissan dealership) seem unable or unwilling to diagnose the issue so no repairs are recommended. Upon investigating this further (internet searches), there appears to be hundreds of people experiencing these same symptoms on cars with jatco cvt transmissions. Nissan refuses to take responsibility for the issues because their computers and or diagnostic tools fail to identify any error codes, which suggest that nissan may have tampered with their diagnostic equipment to avoid responsibility for these issues. I say this because nissan has years of documented cvt defects in their recent past. Please investigate this as consumers are left with unsafe vehicles that are simply being traded in and resold to other unsuspecting consumers, all because nissan is getting away with not being held accountable for their defective products.

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?
