NHTSA Complaint #10917778 — 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA

AT 45MPH MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WHEN GAS WAS PRESSED IT DID NOT RESPOND. I CONTINUED TO TRAVEL HOME. EVERYTIME I STOPPED AT STOP SIGN OR SLOW SPEED AND TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY (ALL CAPTURED ON VIDEO) AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS WAS VERY SCARY. NO SERVICE LIGHT EVER CAME ON!!!! I CONTINUE THE APPROXIMATELY 3-4 MILE DRIVE HOME AND IT WOULD DO THE SAME EVERY TIME I SLOWED OR STOPPED. I HAD TO DRIVE UP A VERY STEEP HILL AND I DID NOT THINK MY CAR WAS GOING TO MAKE IT. THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE AND THE INFORMATION SHARED TO ME BY SEVERAL MECHANICS STATE THAT THE 2007-2010 ALTIMAS WARRANTY FOR THE CVT WERE EXTENDED FROM 60,000 TO 120,000. THIS SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THE 2011 ALSO, BECAUSE THE CVT PROBLEMS CONTINUE. MY CAR HAS ONLY 104,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT NEED A 4,000 TRANSMISSION. I HAVE OWNED A MAXIMA AND SENTRA IN PAST AND THEY WERE REALLY GREAT CARS. ALL OF THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE REVEALS TO ME THAT JATCO WHICH NISSAN HAS 75% OWNERSHIP OF SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR THESE ISSUES. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM THIS MONOPOLY AND HELP THE LITTLE GUY. IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH RESEARCH TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE. THE CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT INDIVIDUALS HAD TO FILE DUE TO THE CVT IN PATHFINDERS BEING JUNK SHOWS THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT PROTECT THEM. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER NISSAN! DO THE RIGHT THING NISSAN AND EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY HAVING CVT PROBLEMS DUE TO POOR PRODUCT PERFORMANCE AND IF NISSAN WILL NOT THE GOVERNMENT HAS ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO MAKE THEM DO WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE ON THE OWN. EVEN THE CEO OF NISSAN HAS HAD AN ARTICLE WRITTEN ABOUT THEM HOLDING JATCO ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR INEPT PRODUCT. *TR
