Cruise control was on, but not active as i was merging, and sport mode was on. Since the incident when on cruise…

When the car warms up the vehicle will not accelerate past 40mph or climb small hills greater than 40 mph. Vehicle will act normally but when you get off the freeway, it loses power and will not accelerate. Big safety issue when traveling on highway and you need speed to pass or even keep up with traffic. Found online that this is a common problem and i believe there needs to be a recall for safety concerns

The vehicle idles and vibrates constantly when the gas pedal is used. My wheel may not vibrate 10 minutes out of a half hour drive. It either barely will take off from start or it completely floors it and excels. Feels like a diesel rugged vehicle and not a smooth normal ride like any car or suv should ride. I complained the day it was purchased and have hated it ever since.

Traveling via the interstate fro ky to ga at about 70 mph. Vehicle lost power and would not accelerate beyond 35 mph. Dangerous as other vehicles traveling at 70 mph or above came close to rear ending my vehicle. Other vehicles dangerously tailgated. Obvious recall issue as there is a history/pattern of this behavior in like vehicles and yet no recall issued, very disappointing!

Transmission failed at 62,135 miles. Overheated. No prior problems or repairs. Dealership recommendation is replace transmission and add a transmission cooler. Sold in georgia operated in georgia and needs a transmission cooler to continue to operate in georgia?! Escalated to nissan regional but will not cover the cost of the repair. Nissan has had an endemic problem with prior years across multiple models with this…

Cvt issues. Whenever i am driving at high speeds (over 60 mph) uphill, my transmission fails. A couple times, the car has completely stopped. I have floored the gas pedal and my car still won't move. This has been very frightening, as i am on the freeway and someone could very easily crash into me when the transmission fails. There has been an extended warranty on the cvt for previous models but it is apparently…

We were unable to move the vehicle off the freeway due to lack of a shoulder, when we finally were able to get safely off the freeway, the car smelled of burning transmission fluid. After the car sat for 30 minutes, we were able to make a speed of no more than 25 mph to the nearest town. We…

Brought our vehicle to the dealer 6/21/16 to be serviced for failure to accelerate after coming to a stop at intersections. At first we were told it was the cvt and we'd need a new transmission. Then they replaced a valve and said it was fine. Two days later the car jerks and shudders while driving below 45 mph and violently shudders and shakes while stationary; feels like something is pushing it. Malfunction…
