Description of the problem	When i drive my car in the city, sometimes it will goes "numb", in other words doesn't response to my commands when speed is 30mph+rpm is 2k or speed is 20mph+rpm is 1. 5k.(only at these two unique combination, e. G. Is the speed is 30mph+rph is 1. 5k, the issue will not occur). Either applying gas or brake doesn't work as i when my car is functioning normally. The duration of this "numb" issue is usually abt 10-15 min, and often happens when i use my car from cold start.(but that usually happens after a warm-up of 5min and being on the road for abt 10-15min). When the issue happens, i feel like something is controlling my car instead of me and my car doesnt listen to me, e. G. My car was going downhill smoothly and all of a sudden it goes numb, i was trying to make the speed lower than 30 mph but wasn't able to, luckily it finally slow down when i applied a hard brake that make the vehicle almost stopped. The operation and safety issue annoys me. Sometimes it gave me sudden pause on the road(20-30 mph speed). I have took my car to dealership 4 times since june 2013, my transmission system got reprogrammed 2 times. 12/30/2013, i was driving on the high way and the brake light came on, after that my car started operating weird (feels like lack of power). Took my car to dealership the next day and got transmission reprogrammed, plus some parts changed (i don't know what they exactly changed). Almost everyday, i experience my car goes "numb" out of nowhere, and had to live with it being unable to control my car when it happens because nissan blames the "cold" weather in california and my sensitivity in driving.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
