Description of the problem	Traveling west on hwy 44 started having trouble going up hills. Put pedal to the floor, and nothing extra. It was starving for fuel. Turned around to go back home, eventually stopping in sullivan mo. While going back i had to gain speed going downhill in order to make it uphill. On two occasions i had a semi rider my rear bumper even though i was in the slow lane. One time while gaining sped down hill, i had to pass the semi in front of me, or lose the speed that i had gained, so i tried to pass on left, as usual, but then the acceleration stalled once again. I then had another semi riding in rear view mirror, and was fearful of what could happen. I was eventually passed by semi on right , i got over, and then the semi on the left passed. Needless to say it was not a good situation. I have seen on-line that there is a class action suit against nissan, but no recall for the cvt's. In my opinion, this is a must. Even the guy at nissan had told me that he has heard of many stories just like this. Someone is going to get hurt/killed if nothing is done. Nissan knows of problem, hence the cooling device started in 2013 model. Even this did not fix the issue. Please force nissan to correct their error in judgment before it is too late. Oh, nissan does want to fix my issue, for several $$$'s thank you, a concerned driver.
