Description of the problem	With no mechanical warning of any type (warning lights or overall vehicle performance), my 2015 nissan altima had the cvt (transmission) fail. The car starting to sputter and act up while driving it, no warning indication of any issues still, and then the transmission failed. Stopping all forward motion of the car. After restarting the car, the check engine light illuminated. I am finding that this is a known issue with the nissan 2. 4l engines with cvt, no matter the model of vehicle. Luckily i was not on a multiple lane highway going 70-80 mph at the time of failure as this is a serious safety concern! Had i been driving in rush hour traffic, i could have been stranded in the middle of a high speed traffic lane, putting my life, along with my passengers lives, in danger. In speaking to my local dealership, they see this failure multiple times in a week. Had my 16 year old, new driver, been driving this vehicle at the time of failure, we could be dealing with an entirely different situation. This is a defect of the transmission that nissan is knowingly installing in their vehicles even today. Nissan did extend the powertrain warranty for multiple models from 2003-2010; however the problem with the cvt has not been resolved even by 2015.
