Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER HOME FROM PRE-K AND HAD BEEN IN THE CAR FOR 10 MILES WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AT A VERY BUSY FOUR -WAY INTERSECTION. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE. I WAS SHOCKED. IT WAS PERFECTLY FINE ONE MINUTE AND DID NOT MOVE THE NEXT MINUTE. THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL AND IT WOULDN'T GO. AFTER PRESSING A FEW TIMES, THE CAR STARTED TO GO VERY SLOWLY. I TOOK SOME BACK ROADS STOPPING AT DIFFERENT PARKING LOTS HOPING TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT AT 59,700 MILES, MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA'S CVT TRANSMISSION IS NON-FUNCTIONAL & THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE IS STARTING TO SHOW UPL. I OWE MONEY ON THE LOAN AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OR START FROM SCRATCH. NO RECALLS. NO HELP. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT.
