2010 Nissan Altima

I HAVE BEEN HAVING STALLING ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR FOR OVER A YEAR. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HERE WHERE I LIVE ON 12/17 FOR THE ISSUE ONLY RECEIVED A CHANGE OF FLUID NO ERROR CODES. SPENT ALMOST 300.00 THAT DAY. TOOK IT BACK AGAIN ON 1/18 FOR THE SAME ISSUE, NOT EVEN A MONTH APART. WAS TOLD THAT FROM THE VIDEO I SHOWED THE NISSAN WORKER IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION GOING BAD. I HAD TO PAY 110.00 TO HOOK IT UP TO THE MACHINE THIS DAY. AFTER LEAVING MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT HONOR THE 120,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR PULL ANY ERROR CODES. THEY PERFORMED AN UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY STATED WAS NEEDED AND THAT "SHOULD" FIX THE ISSUE. FAST FORWARD TO 11/3/18 LESS THAN 3000 MILES LATER IT'S STALLING AGAIN AND WON'T GO PAST 5 MPH WITH THE GAS PADDLE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ON A FLAT SURFACE STREET. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME AND IT WAS AN UNSAFE SITUATION. I HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL OF THIS AND HAVE VIDEOS TO PROVE EVERYTHING THAT I SPEAK OF. THERE WAS A TIME WHERE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN TO 50 AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO TRY TO MAKE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY 18 WHEELERS ZOOMING PAST ME. THAT IN ITSELF IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR ME.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE BUCKING TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER WAS TOLD 1 IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUGS PAID TO HAVE THEM REPLACED BUT ALSO HAD MENTIONED IT SMELT LIKE RAW EGGS TO THE DEALER. A FEW MONTHS LATER SAME THING TOOK TO DEALER SAID ANOTHER IGNITION COIL I APPROVED FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE REMAINING 3 IGNITION COILS SO I WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN AND AGAIN I TOLD THEM THAT IT SMELT LIKE RAW EGGS. NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON AND THE CODE IS FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR. WAS TOLD THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WENT OUT IN APRIL. I WOULD LIKE SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THIS. ALL THE ISSUES WAS WHEN DRIVING AT BOTH HWY SPEEDS AND CITY SPEEDS

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 20MPH TO 40MPH THE RPMS INCREASE TO 3RPM AND THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES TO CHANGE THE GEAR. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE). I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2010. IT HAS 220,000 MILES ON IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SAW THIS US A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CAR. NISSAN ALSO SENT OUT A BULLETIN NTB10-121B. THEY SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE ISSUE AT THEIR COST. ATTACHED IS THE PDF OF THE BULLETIN.

MECHANIC FOUND CRACKED STRUTS AND ADVISED IS A DANGER TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM (09V358000) FOR MY YEAR AND VEHICLE TYPE. MY VIN INCLUDED IN RECALL. WHY? THE ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR IS $940 + A $140 DIAGNOSTIC. THE CAR IS JERKY AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN DRIVING. I AM NOW CONFINED TO ONLY DRIVE LOCALLY UNTIL I CAN AFFORD THE $1K COST TO REPAIR. WHY IS MY CAR NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL?
