Description of the problem	2014 nissan altima s, 74,000 miles. I shifted the car from park to reverse to back out of parking space, the car shuddered and died. I am very fortunate that i wasn't hit by oncoming traffic as the car would not move. I had my daughter steer the car while i pushed it out of the way of traffic. I tried several more times to put the car in gear, it would run for a few seconds and die. There were no previous performance problems and no engine warning lights to indicate a problem. I had the car towed to a nissan dealer. It was diagnosed with "torque converter failure/ need to replace cvt unit/ found no dtc's stored/found not tranny leaks/ printed off tranny "a" and "b" counts just in case" i have read other reports of these altima's completely failing in rush hour traffic because of nissan's defective transmission. My family was lucky. The situation could have ended very badly if this defective car had died in traffic, causing me or an innocent serious harm. Now, my family is facing an almost $5000 dollar repair on a three year old car that i don't trust anymore.
