Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Driving long distances my car overheats, looses power going from 70 mph down to 40 mph in high speed traffic. I am forced to get off the highway and let it reset itself. It has always made a whining noise during acceleration, and the brakes have squeaked from day one. I have complained to nissan several times and am always been given lame excuses. Now that my warranty is up they have a solution to my problems. New transmission or overheat converter to the tune of $1600. How convenient they have a solution not that my car is out of warranty!! They refuse to help me or fix my car unless i fork over the money. My car has had problems since i purchased it and there was never any resolve. I purchased an extended warranty as i do a lot of driving. My car was out of warranty 2,000 miles when they miraculously found a cause and solution for my problem.
