Takata recall transmissions on the nissan altima. Driving home from work and my car stalls, put my foot all the way down on the pedal and nothing, extreme safety hazard, could of easily been hit by someone going full speed from behind. I was at a red light waiting for it to turn green and when I was getting ready to go nothing was happening. Had to be towed home. Found out that nissan altimas have this very common problem with the transmission and takata won't take responsibility and issue a recall. Guess they don't care if they leave someone's kids potentially orphaned 🤷🏻‍♀️

I purchased my car in 2012 shortly after purchasing the car I noticed something didn't feel quite right I called the nissan service dept and explained the issue they assured me everything was okay but then in 2016 I complained to nissan about the whining noise again and when traveling on the interstate how my car would just slow down with no warning causing the tractor trailer traveling behind me to think quickly and jump into another lane or else I probably would not be alive to be writing you. The next incident was after I exited off of the interstate and stopped at the stop sign once I begin to accelerate my car stalled in the middle of the street causing a car coming around the curve to quickly exit onto the interstate to keep from hitting me. When I explained all of this to nissan they already knew about this issue and I said why wasn't this something you send out to consumers because if you already know then this isn't the first incident. At the time I reported this I had 119,876 miles on my car the rep proceeded to tell me I was past the extended warranty I said what extended warranty I knew nothing about this and never received anything in reference to this. Needless to say nissan never followed back up with me and I reached out to them again recently about this same issue and told them nobody ever followed up and I was almost hit once again due to losing power in the middle of the interstate. Took the car in to a nissan service depart explained the issue once again they said oh there is a service bulletin on the engine but this had nothing to do with the transmission but assured me this was the issue needless to say two days later and $390 later the problem still isn't fixed. This is a safety hazard and one day may cause fatalities. This should be a recall for those vehicles under the warranty. They have lawsuits. Http://www.nissanproblems.com/trends/CVT/
