NHTSA Complaint #10924979 — 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA

DEAR NHSTA YESTERDAY, WHEN I WAS AT A STOP, MY CAR STARTING TO "JUMP" FORWARD. AFTER WORKING A 12 HOUR SHIFT, I DECIDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY. BUT ON MY WAY TO WORK THE FOLLOWING DAY, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45-50MPH AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I CAME TO A BUSY INTERSECTION AND STOPPED WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE IT JUST STOPPED. I TURNED IT OFF TO RESTART, PUT IT IN PARK AND IT STULLED AGAIN. I WAS IN A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION "5 LANES". I HAD TO CALL 911 TO HELP DIRECT TRAFFIC SO THEY COULD PUSH MY CAR OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE ONLY 61000 MILES AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THE CAR. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD IT IS THE CVT. I AM AN ICU/ER NURSE. I BOUGHT A NISSAN DUE TO SAFETY RATINGS. LEAVING ME SIT IN A BUSY INTERSECTION, PLUS THE AIRBAG RECALL, I WOULD NOT CONSIDER THIS CAR SAFE,ANYMORE. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT NISSAN AND CVTS, WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS? ARE YOU WAITING FOR MORE DEATHS AND ACCIDENTS TO OCCUR? WHEN A COMPANY OFFERS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY SPECIFICALLY FOR A CVT UP TO 100,000 MILES, THEN OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE SINCERELY, JILL S RN,BSN,CEN,CCRN
