transmission jerks

Nissan Altima cars seems scams have warranty always or there will be CVT failure that is for sure within 60000 miles and you have to bear huge cost I got a bill of around $8000 for a car which has 57000 miles on it.

Because of CVT transmission engine. it suddenly stopped on the road without any prior warning. Luckily there was no one behind me and the wheel were in moving state, I could make to the curb.

Altima S 2.5s 4cyc

  • Automatic transmission
  • 53,237 miles

The transmission jerks at 20 to 30 mph while you driving on a highway. And it also jerks between 50 and 70 mph. And while you're at the signal light it jerks. So please tell me how Nissan is going to fix this problem when I brought my car into the shop twice already and they changed the vowel body on the transmission.
