In august of 2017 i was about to park my altima when the transmission went out. I attempted to restart the car and the car would not shift into gear. Eventually, after many issues with a nissan security plus warranty bait and switch issue i got the cvt transmission replaced. I have noticed even on this new transmission it still shudders around 25 mph frequently.

My car shut down multiple times while driving it to work. I had to get it towed to nissan and find a way to work. Nissan said they reprogrammed the cvt transmission and didnt bother to tell me there was a recall. When i got it back it was worse than when i took it in the first time. It is unprofessional and dangerous for them not to tell me about the recall.
