Description of the problem	Car loses acceleration when driving. I noticed it does this when the temperature outside gets hot. I took my car into nissan last year (when it was still under warranty) and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it besides it needing brakes. Now that the weather is getting hotter (palm springs, ca 120 degrees) and my car is out of warranty (75,000 miles) it's doing it again!! This is a huge safety issue. I've almost got rear ended twice because of this! Since i know it's been happening i've been trying to use cruise control as much as possible on the freeway (going about 65-70) because i'm afraid it's going to do it again! Last weekend i had to pull off the freeway 3 times because my car would not go over 40 mph!! I read online there are a ton of complaints about this same issue and nissan won't do anything to fix this. This is a huge safety issue and needs to be fixed with a recall! This has happened about 20 times in the past year!
