2009 Nissan Altima

MY ALTIMA HAS 257K MILES. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE AND THE CAR JUST DIED ON MY STREET. THE ENGINE MADE A WHINING SOUND AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR DOWN THE HILL TO MY HOUSE. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND I AM REPLACING THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE LAST TIME I REPLACED IT WAS 3 YEARS AGO IN 2016. MOST OF MY MILEAGE IS HWY MILES. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE CRAPPY CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE ALTIMA. THE DEALER IS PUTTING IN MY 3RD TRANSMISSION TODAY AND ONLY GUARANTEEING A 1 YEAR / 12000 MILE WARRANTY. THIS DOES NOT SOUND LIKE THEY ARE BACKING THEIR PRODUCT. FROM ALL THAT I HAVE READ AND EXPERIENCED, THE CAR IS A TOTAL SAFETY ISSUE LOSING SPEED IN WARM WEATHER ON LONG TRIPS THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. COULD THERE BE A RECALL COMING?

MY CAR WOULD NOT START LEAVING ME AND MY CHILD STRANDED. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE OVER NIGHT. WHEN I WAS READY TO LEAVE FOR WORK IN THE MORNING IT WOULD NOT START. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT IT WASNT. I HAD IT CHECKED AT A NEAR BY AUTO STORE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE MECHANIC. WHO CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THE FAULTY BREAK SWITCH. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY LEAVING ME SCARED TO DRIVE THINKING IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN AND LEAVE US STRANDED AGAIN OR A SCARY ACCIDENT. PLEASE RECALL THE FAULTY BREAK SWITCH IN 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA AND REIMBURSE ME MY MONEY FOR REPAIRS. I AM A SINGLE PARENT. THANK YOU.

AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1.5 HOURS ON A FAMILY TRIP AND ON THE INTERSTATE MY CAR SLOWED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FROM SPEEDS OF 60 -70MPH TO BARELY NOT MOVING AT ALL. CLEARLY THIS FRIGHTEN MY ENTIRE FAMILY. AFTER RESTING ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE FOR ALMOST AN HOUR THE CAR RESUMED BUT STARTED TO REPEAT THE SAME PATTERN. IT ALSO BARELY PULLED UP A HILL. THIS CAR HAS DONE THIS BEFORE AND THE NISSIAN DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT COULD NEED A TUNE UP. SO BEFORE GOING ON THE FAMILY VACATION LISTED ABOVE I HAD A TUNE UP AND OIL CHANGE DONE BUT GUESS WHAT. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.
