Description of the problem	Initially experienced loss of power around 30,000 miles while going 80 mph on interstate. Extremely dangerous situation as the only option is to pull off to the side of the road. Took it to dealer but they couldn't replicate or find anything wrong. Vehicle continued to randomly lose power while at high rates of speed, as well as a loud whining and humming sound. Took to dealership 8 different times and still couldn't find anything. Was told if a check engine light came on that would help locate issue. Check engine came on during loss of power issue, and dealership still told me couldn't pinpoint problem. The most recent loss of power in june 2018, i was nearly struck from behind by a semi truck travelling at a high rate of speed because there is no warning for the loss of power and there was no where to pull off to. Still an ongoing issue, and nissan refuses to acknowledge the problem or do anything to assist.
