Description of the problem	Approximately two weeks after purchasing my brand new 2013 altima 3. 5 s the car developed a shudder and vibration when i would accelerate slightly. It also occurred going up small hills, and when i would come to a complete stop then pull off (for instance at a red light). After noticing this, i scheduled an appointment with the dealer, and we did a test drive in hopes of mimicking the issue. The mechanic advised me that this was normal for a cvt engine, and that everything was fine. I wasn't quite convinced, but i wanted to trust his opinion, since this was my first time driving a car with a cvt engine. However, a few weeks passed and the shudder and vibration got worse. The car even jerked forward once when i was pressing on the brakes. This prompted me to schedule another visit with the dealer. This time the same mechanic from the first visit and the manager rode along with me. During this test drive the manager felt the sudden shudder, once we came to a complete stop and slightly accelerated. This prompted them to replace my transmission, not even 30 days after my purchase. I picked my car up from the dealer on 12/7/12 after they changed the transmission and the car drove perfectly fine. The bad news is that now the car has developed the same shudder and vibration even more now. I will be calling for another appointment tomorrow, because something has to be done about this. It's very dangerous, especially when this happens and you have another car riding directly behind you. ## vin failed
