| Description of the problem | Traveling on a 3 hour trip, of which was on the interstate at 75 to 80 mph speeds. After about 2 hours of running these speeds non stop i was in the right hand lane coming up on a small incline, the car lost power my speed instantly dropped to 60 mph. I stopped at the next gas station (ten miles down the road)to check the transmission fluid, it was fine. Got back on the road and it ran ok. The next day on the road the same thing happened, i stopped for 10 minutes, got back on the road then it ran ok. This could have been an accident if a vehicle was behind me. After researching the web i discovered many other owners have had this issue this nissan is an interstate death trap that should be recalled. |
