NHTSA Complaint #10823306 — 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY PRIVATE MECHANIC DUE TO SHUDDER IN ENGINE WHILE DRIVING HE INFORMED ME THAT MY CVT TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY, I AM STILL UNDER NISSAN WARRANTY BUT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THEIR SERVICE CENTER THEY TOLD ME NO. THEY DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I EXPLAINED TO THEM IN DETAIL MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS WHAT MY MECHANIC STATED THEY TOLD ME NO. I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN WITH NO ISSUE BUT AS SOON AS I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE MY CAR WOULD JUDDER & SHUT OFF AGAIN. THE SAME JUDDER HAVE BEEN FEELING FOR SOME TIME NOW. BUT NOW MY CAR IS TURNING OFF. BASED ON MY RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THEY CONTINUE TO DENY THE TRANSMISSION IS FLAWED UNTIL YOU FIND YOURSELF OUT OF WARRANTY THEN THEY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS NOW 100% OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET. THIS IS HEART BREAKING TO KNOW SUCH A LARGE COMPANY IS AWARE OF THIS BUT WILL NOT REPAIR OR RECALL THEIR CARS LEAVING US STRANDED WITH A $20,000 CAR THAT WILL NOT LIVE PASSED 60,000 MILES WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR JUDDERED & SHUT OFF. I WAS VERY LUCKY I DID NOT STAY ON HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL AT A HIGHER SPEED AS WELL BEING STRUCK BY OTHER VEHICLES. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. I HOPE IT CAN BE RESOLVED BEFORE THERE IS A LOSS OF LIFE. IF THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE ALREADY.
