Description of the problem	2016 nissan altima 2. 5sr cvt transmission failure at 26k miles. While in motion going freeway speeds, vehicle suddenly loses power when attempting to maintain cruising speed and rpms fluctuated intensely up and down. Felt very unsafe while trying to pull over to the shoulder and feared other vehicles could have struck me while having no control over vehicle speed. Brought vehicle into nissan dealership and confirmed it is an issue with cvt transmission requiring $4k cvt transmission repair, luckily covered under 5 year, 60k mile warranty. This issue seems common with other owners of the cvt transmission and should have its powertrain cvt transmission warranty extended on newer models to 10 years, 120,000 miles just like the 2003-2010 year models with the cvt have received.
