Description of the problem	I am the original owner of a 2013 nissan altima 4 cylinder, 4 door sedan. I purchased this vehicle new from a nissan dealership. Approximately 3 months ago i noticed that my car was slow to accelerate after stopping at a traffic light or stop sign. The first time this happened i thought that i accidentally hit the side button on my gear shaft that put the car in a different mode. When this happened i was at a traffic light on a busy street. When i pressed the gas the car would not go. I pumped it several times and then it jerked and lunged forward. I went into a parking lot, turned off the car and waited a few minutes. I started the car again and drove it around the empty lot to check the brakes and acceleration. It seemed fine. This happened again several times and i thought that it may need an oil change or i had bad gas. I got an oil change and went to a different gas station for a fill up. The car seemed fine for a few weeks (however, i didn't drive it much). Then yesterday i drove the car over a 4 hour period. During hour 3 it began to have the same issues. I was stopped at a busy intersection during evening rush hour and the car would not accelerate. My passenger was quite concerned. The car jerked and lunged forward and i pulled over, turned the car off, waited and then started it again. Now the check engine light came on. This morning i took my car in to my mechanic and he pulled several codes from the car during the diagnostic exam (submitted). He said that it was the cvt transmission and it will cost $3,800 to repair! I called nissan corporate and told them about my issue. The representative said that i had to take the car to a nissan dealership, so i did. She opened a case to see if nissan would cover the repairs. I am waiting for a 2nd diagnostic and approval from nissan to cover these repairs as my car is only 5 years old.

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.
