3 Automatic Transmission Cooler problem of the 2012 Nissan Altima

Failure Date: 03/09/2018

Cvt transmission are not , not cars! there was a recall up to 2010, but they continued to make them with cvt! often when driving my car it lose all acceleration! I went to Nissan and there was no issue on the diagnostic tool and they said that due to this being the main job of the cht, they said a cooling kit can be installed, which it was. 2 years later, my car again slips into neutral. My gear shift moves sometimes and other times, just no acceleration this has happened now over 10 times in 2 days!!!!!! because the issue is not showing on diagnostic, they will not look at the cars transmission, trans fluid, or the gear shift. They wouldn't do a thing to my car! this is forcing me to drive with unsafe conditions! I am taking into a real and honest mechanic!! Nissan knows there is an issue and that many drivers are driving dangerously, as they refuse to do the right thing!!! there is no dipstick to check the transmission fluid or else I would do it myself. Do the right thing and save many people from getting into accidents and potentially losing their lives!!! coming off an off ramp, no acceleration; driving on a highway no acceleration, pulling out of my driveway after warming my car up non acceleration. This is dangerous and illegal!!!!! this issue began 2-3 years ago, was temporarily fixed wit the cooling kit that I had to pay for out of pocket, and has been happening consistently for the last 5 days!!!! google this issue and there are thousands of people with the same issue and Nissan offering no help nor even a simple mechanic once over look!!!! I am a social worker who works with children in foster care, often tranporting them from unsafe conditions to situations that I am promising are more safe and comfortable! I can no longer promise them this if my car is unsafe!! I have almost been in a minimum of 5 accidents because of this issue! dealership no help!!.
