Description of the problem	On friday, november 27th as my wife came home from work, she called me to report that the car was behaving strangely, shuddering and losing power. We have never had any drivability issues with this car since we bought it, nor any mechanical problems of any kind. She managed to get home and when i took a look at it the check engine light was on and we decided to tow it to the dealership on saturday morning in order to get the issue diagnosed. From what was explained to us at the nissan dealer today, tuesday, december 1st, we were told that under nissan's policies, any car that has a "branded" title causes the new car's limited warranty to become null and void. We bought this car used on february 7, 2017 when it had 2,356 miles. The vehicle today has less than 35,000 miles since new. The issue is the cvt transmission has failed, which is widely known by nissan to be in an issue in several model vehicles including the altima for at least six years that i am aware of. We are in no position to spend over $3500 plus diagnostic costs to repair this vehicle, and having the uncertainty that this issue could re-appear again at any time in the future and we will again be forced to spend another undetermined amount similar or higher than the current estimated costs. Additionally, if and when this transmission is replaced, we fall back into the situation that the transmission replacement will have an unknown limitation on the warranty of the repair. Through class action remedies nissan has extended the factory warranty to cover these repairs to customers who are outside of the regular warranty period (essentially the same as not having a factory warranty), extending it to as much as 120,000 miles in some cases, and even transferrable to new owners. We contacted and opened a case at nissan, but they said no. No more nissan vehicles for me!

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?
