Transmission Failure problems of the 2012 Nissan Maxima

My car began to make a whining sound at acceleration over 60 miles per hours intermittently. The car was sold to me as certified pre-owned car at 54k miles in 2015. I have only driven it a little over 50k miles personally. The check engine light came on and I took it to my mechanic who pulled the code p01778 step motor function from the system. I notified Nissan who told me I had to have their mechanic assess the car. I dropped it off and they pulled the same code. The cvt transmission has failed. There is a 7th generation Maxima facebook page that is full of owners that discuss this very issue all of the time. It is referred to as a cvt boom! youtube is full of videos that discuss the fact that Nissan knew this was an issue so much so that the european version of this car came with a cooler and the american version did not! there is a class action for some models why not this one??.

Transmission failed at 64,000 miles and stopped while driving on the road, unable to accelerate. I replaced the transmission and it failed again a second time while driving on the road. Delaership says I need another transmission. Failure happened while driving on the road.
