2015 Nissan ALTIMA Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	I leased this vehicle in 2015 and purchased it in 2018 with 60003 miles. I began experiencing a loss of acceleration from a stop at about 80k miles, it happened intermittently a few times over the next year. My vehicle just broke 100k miles, the issue has become much more frequent in the last month, when pulling out across traffic, when starting from a stop light or sign. The vehicle has little to no response when the accelerator is pressed, or even pressed all the way to the floor. It will sometimes engage after putting the car back into park, and then back into drive. Other times it will very slowly accelerate taking as much as 30 seconds to increase 10 mph. I did some basic internet research and found many nissan vehicles with cvt transmissions have issues, and subsequent class action lawsuits. I took my vehicle into the dealer, with 102k miles. The dealer diagnosed the faulty cvt, and indicated that my specific model does not have its transmission under warranty up to 120k miles like other vehicles, and that the vehicle warranty is only valid up to 84k miles. I asked for documentation as i could not find any on the web designating this new 84k mile limitation, they emailed me an image of a service bulletin indicating 84k miles as the limitation where nissan accepts liability for this known issue. This is extremely dangerous as the vehicle will begin to accelerate and then have nothing after you have pulled into traffic. Luckily, i have not been hit while entering or turning across traffic. So it happens when stationary and in motion, on city streets and highways, both turning and going straight.
