2012 Nissan ALTIMA Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle was in motion on the highway and after two and half hours of driving could not accelerate past 45-50 miles an hour and stuck on this speed even with the gas pedal being pressed down to accelerate. I had serious safety issues with this on the highway in regards to ascending hills and had near serious encounters with trucks and other vehicles on all incidents i have had to drive more than that duration. I am on a website called cargurus and have a lot of nissan 2012 altima owners with the same year, make and model having exactly the same terrifying experience. I have called nissan about this and that they should do a qa of their call logs and check other complaints from other customers and all they could say is "there is currently no recall on your vin". Informed them about medicine after death not possible and problems like this with frequent complaints by customers should be investigated and not ignored till people start dying before there is a need to fix this or issue a recall. The gear box and cv axle based on what i have read may be the cause of this. I am not a technician but this is a very serious safety issue that should be investigated. Every time you are in a car on the highway on long distance journey with this car your life is on a live wire because of this gear box issue. I have also been to the dealership in south holland il for this and was told to call nissan and complain about this which i have done. I will appreciate your looking into this please! Thanks.
