    There is a known default with the year and make of vehicle i own, yet nissan has failed to issue a recall, even though it could result in death. When driving the vehicle for 1.5 hours or more at speeds of 65 mph or greater, the transmission overheats, and causes you to lose acceleration and power. I lost power on the parkway, was unable to move from the right lane, i couldn't even make it to the shoulder before…

The car is going almost only 20 or 30 miles per hour at this point. I am not going up a hill or going very fast i usually only travel about 60 or 65…

    When driving in the summer heat and going up a hill or for a long period of time, the car starts to slow down, even if you push the gas pedal all the way to the floor. It is scary when you are needing to turn out into an intersection for instance, because you can't move the car out of the way quickly enough, which a person could be hit by other oncoming cars. I was never told that the car has this problem and after…

Then all lights came on the dash (check engine, oil, battery etc) then there was no acceleration. Pulled to the shoulder, turned the car off, back on and everything seemed fine. Cruise control was on, but not active as i was merging, and sport mode was on. Since the incident when on cruise…

    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.

    Car won't turn on randomly. We have replaced the battery five times. Each time the car randomly stops working every few thousand miles. The car will take ten or eleven tries to start. This is extremely dangerous. If for any reason we ever needed to leave the car cannot start quickly. It happens randomly, not all the time (sometimes it starts fine after one turn, the next time it could take five minutes to finally…

It overheats while driving on the interstate for longer than 45 minutes on a warm day and the vehicle becomes unresponsive and can't accelerate past 40 mph. This is incredibly dangerous and has left my family and i stranded on the interstate a few times now. I can't trust this vehicle at all and fear for the safety of my family. Nissan can't find…

I had to stop on the side of the interstate to properly assess the situation. Figured it could have been just a fluke, began to get back on the road and with my foot all the way down on the floor, the car would barely run. Called nissan dealership and…

    The transmission consistently overheats (service dept told me this is what the issue is) and caused the car to go into "fail safe" mode which means you have no power. I was travelling in an 75 mph zone and the fastest i could get to was 60. Tractor trailers were having to slam on their breaks. I put my flashers on to make it safer. This has happened on 6 different trips. Per the svc dept this is a known issue with…
