Description of the problem	2016 altima, barely 3 years old, 71,000 miles. About a week ago, the car began to jerk and shudder and rpm's jump up and down when i accelerate from a stop. Before the day was over, it was happening while i was driving (any where from 0-60+mph). Then check engine light came on. When i hit the gas, it may jerk/lurch forward or may not go anywhere. I would have to let off the gas and try again. Some times it would correct itself, other times not and rpm's would stay high-- 3-5. Felt like it didn't want to "change gears" (its a cvt so only one "gear") while jerking and accelerating/decelerating. Very distracting and concerning to say the least. Took it to the dealership today to have the diagnostics ran. Was contacted and told it was throwing 2 codes - sub assembly failure and pressure fluid sensor failure. These are transmission codes. Was told i needed a new transmission, $4200 out the door..... In what world is it "normal" for a fairly new car with no prior issues to have a complete transmission failure?? The dealer agreed there is nothing we could've done to prevent this. I have contacted nissan consumer affairs and filed a complaint, requesting goodwill assistance with the repair costs. I was told someone would get back to me by close of business tomorrow. This is obviously a defective transmission. Reading these comments, it appears that the replacement transmissions do not perform much better. I will be getting out of this car asap.

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.
