Description of the problem	I was traveling 70 mph on a highway, using cruise, when the engine started racing and the rpm surged. I disengaged the cruise and the rpm's immediately returned to normal. However, as soon as i stepped on the gas, the rpm's again surged. After this happened three or four times, the vehicle would not exceed 60 mph. Fortunately, i was able to exit the highway within a short distance. There was a traffic light at the end of the exit, which was red and i stopped. When the light turned green, my car would not initially accelerate or move. After a short time, the car did then start accelerating and i was able to once again drive. I then stopped at the nearest parking lot. My traveling companion proceeded to find an auto shop that was open, as it was about 7:00 at night. They ran a scan and determined there was a failure with my transmission. I was over 50 miles away from home, on my way to a vacation reservation. Unfortunately, i had to return home. I was able to drive the car on back roads, traveling about 35-40 mph. Since that time i have had a transmission shop and the nissan dealer also confirm there was a problem with the torque converter and the entire transmission would need replaced. The car had a little over 70,000 miles. I find this entirely unacceptable for a 2012 with that number of miles. Subsequent research has show that nissan has a history of problems with the cvt transmission. I also found many, many complaints on an array of websites about my particular vehicle having transmission failure at a variety of miles. I also found reports of the transmission failing while traveling at high rates of speed. I did contact nissan's regional consumer affairs. After jumping through their hoops, i was declined any "good will assistance". This was due to the car's mileage being over warranty and no previously documented issues with my personal vehicle's transmission.

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.
