Description of the problem	5/31/2014, as i was traveling down 75 north towards chattanooga going 80 miles per hour to maintain speed of traffic i noticed that my vehicle started slowing down and would not allow me to accelerate. I had to immediately put my emergency signal on in order to merge over to the far right emergency lane to stop the vehicle. Luckily traffic was not too heavy in order to move over to the emergency lane if so it probably would have been a fatal accident. I allowed the car to sit for a bit and then drove back to home to see if i could take the vehicle to a mechanic where i purchased a vehicle and to find out the issue. As i am driving the vehicle back home i have to drive the vehicle no more than 40 miles per hour in a 70 miles per hour zone with my hazards signals flashing because the vehicle would not go no faster than 40 miles per hour. I called the dealership and i was informed that i would need to bring my vehicle in on monday because they close service at 12 o'clock on a friday. The dealer where i purchased my vehicle want me to pay a fee in order for me to have the vehicle diagnosed because it was not under the extended warranty and i only had the vehicle less than a year, only 8 months. This is a very dangerous and serious situation where nissan should recall the 2008 nissan altima and have this issue checked out because i'm sure i am not the only one with this issue.
