NHTSA Complaint #10615201 — 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH AN (NISSAN CERTIFIED) EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES IN 2010. I HAVE HAD THE AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACED (UNDER WARRANTY---CVT REPLACED WITH NEW TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY) ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS BETWEEN 2011 AND 2013. IN EARLY 2013, ROSS NISSAN CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND DID NOT REPLACE IT, ONE MONTH LATER I TOOK IT TOO VALLEY HI NISSAN IN VICTORVILLE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY ROSS. THE PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: THE CAR WHEN DRIVEN OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME IN TRAFFIC (1 HOUR OR MORE), THE TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO WHINE,ESPECIALLY WHEN CLIMBING UP HILLS. ON OVER FIVE OCCASIONS THE CAR SPEED TOPPED OUT AT ABOUT 45-55 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND COULD NOT GO FASTER ON STEEP INCLINES. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SLOW LANE AS IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST THE 45-55 MPH UNTIL THE INCLINE IN THE FREEWAY LEVELED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, THE NISSAN DEALER WOULD EVALUATE IT AND STATE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY. THE TRANSMISSION WERE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY AROUND 45K, 77K, 109K, IN DOING THE RESEARCH THE FOLLOWING BULLETINS SEEM TO MATCH THE PROBLEM THAT I'VE BEEN HAVING NTB-13-079 AND NTB-12-057 AND THE ONE MENTIONED BY THE DEALER WHICH I COULDN'T FIND ON THIS WEBSITE TSB-NTB10-143A. THEY ALL SEEM TO INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE FAIL SAFE FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION FLUID PROTECTOR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE THIS ISSUE AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON SO MANY CARS. ALTHOUGH MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER SOLVED CORRECTLY. I DON'T TAKE THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY, BECAUSE I AM IN FEAR THAT I WILL BE RAMMED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AS THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON OCCASIONS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING TOO HOT. THE CAR/TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE. *TR
