Altima owners have been waiting for a recall and/or extended warranty for the terrible continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the 2013 and 2014 model years. Well, certain owners decided they’ve waited long enough and sued Nissan.
[The plaintiff] says his Altima suffered from delayed acceleration, juddering and slow response times, then in December 2016 the car finally stalled. After being towed to a Nissan dealer, the plaintiff was told the transmission would need to be replaced.
Nissan extended the CVT warranty to 10 years / 120,000 miles for the 2007-2010 model years. They also offered reimbursement for previous repairs.
I'm guessing there are plenty of 2013-2014 owners who would be very happy with that same deal.

For a while cracked radiators were the number one enemy of Nissan transmissions, but these days it appears the transmissions are their own worst enemy.
