Description of the problem	I own a 2008 nissan rogue that has had ongoing problems with the cvt. When i first experienced the problem, nissan did not even know/acknowledge there was an issue. When traveling during the summer on the highway at high speeds (70-80 mph) i would randomly lose power to the vehicle. For instance, if i was driving with the cruise control on, it would shut off and gradually start to decelerate. Stepping on the gas did nothing. In some cases, i would be driving down the highway only able to go about 25 mph. Additionally, when coming to a complete stop, for example when exiting the highway and waiting at a light, the car is very slow to respond to start moving again. After taking my car to three different dealerships, nissan finally began to acknowledge there was an system issue (not after making me spend $400+ for a transmission flush). They said that the combination of elevation, heat and high speeds was causing the transmission to overheat and go into "fail safe" mode. Finally last summer (july 2012) nissan replaced the transmission in the vehicle. Now, one year later and only 20,000 miles on the new transmission, i am having the same issues. Most bothersome, however was the last few times this has happened, it was not hot and i was not driving in the mountains. After 30 minutes of driving about 82 mph with 65 degree weather, i lost all power to the vehicle. I had to merge with traffic that was moving at least 70 mph and i was only able to move at 40 mph. Nissan has said that they are aware of the continued issue, but because the cvt is technically performing as it should, they will not cover it under warranty. They said they are developing a coolant, but is this a real solution? Bottom line, this is not a safe, reliable vehicle. Every time i get in my car, i wonder if i will be able to get where i need to go in a timely and safe fashion. *js

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?
