Description of the problem	I was driving on interstate 17 going uphill when all of a sudden my car went into what is known as "limp mode"(loss of power). My speed dropped to 25 mph. I had numerous trucks almost rear end me, until i could limp onto the shoulder. I took it straight to a nissan dealer in flagstaff az. When i got there he pointed to four other vehicles and said to me "what just happened to you, happened to those other 4 nissans right there". I was told by the dealer " you need a transmission cooler installed because of the hot climate we live in this happens all the time, the transmission gets overheated, it's a defect nissan has known about for awhile now". I believe this is a safety issue and it's only a matter of time until someone gets killed when their car looses power on an interstate. I have contacted nissan on numerous occasions only to be told "since no code popped up nothing can be done". The power train is still under warranty. I have tried going through the proper channels with nissan, but it's been in vain. This is a known problem yet they will not recall these vehicles. Again sooner or later this will cause an accident and i'm afraid it could be fatal.
