My Nissan 2008 Altima started stalling while I pulled into traffic. It was happening for several months and was random. I took my car into Nissan, after realizing there was a cvt transmission recall for this car. They examined the car and determined that there was no problem with the car, because the car did not report any diagnostic code. They told me to come back, when the car stalled and they could get the necessary code, since the car was experiencing the problem the code would be in the system. I had reported this problem to Nissan corporate and got case number. On may 7, 2018, Nissan found the code and the problem was a bad cvt transmission. Nissan determined to pay half the cost of replacing my transmission. On may 18,2018, I picked up my car and experienced the same problem driving away from the dealership. I called back and the manager said the problem was caused by high fluids and to drive the car over the weekend and it should be fine. Well, I stalled while driving into traffic two more times over the weekend. I called Nissan corporate to say that the problem is not fixed. They have refused to do anything. I do not feel safe in this car and am terrified to drive it. I'm driving an unsafe car and Nissan is not helping . . . At least for now.

Vehicle was driving along with other normal traffic when it suddenly lost power and stalled on an incline. Driver carefully steered vehicle to a safe place downhill and called a towing company to tow vehicle to driver's residence. Upon visual inspection of engine compartment, a rubber seal on the ecm wiring harness was found buckled up. On trying to remove and re-insert the harness, it was found that ecm terminals had corroded and some pin contact had actually fallen off. Upon doing some research, this was found to be an issue covered under federal emissions warranty. Driver/owner called the local Nissan dealership who immediately, presumably at their own expense, towed the car to their facility, checked and found the ecm to be faulty but blamed the faulty wiring harness for the failure. And further, the dealer claimed since the harness carries a 3 year warranty and was the "cause" of the ecm failure, this was no longer covered under federal emissions warranty resulting in a bill of $2,000+ for replacing the faulty - corroded - wiring harness and the faulty ecm. Attempts to have the dealer do more research or contact Nissan USA for advise fell on deaf ears. If the car had stalled on high speed and caused fatalities on the highway, would these repairs then have been "part" of federal emissions warranty coverage for publicity purposes? it is out of sheer luck that 1. The car stalled while going downhill and, 2. The car was travelling at 40 miles per hour. I desperately need advise on this while I await for delivery of a special order for the ecm and harness. In the meantime, my rental car expenses are piling up and are not covered by any warranty.
