| Description of the problem | After driving 2. 5 - 3hrs of highway driving would not accelerate (increase in speed ). I have been in intersections and the car would not accelerate which is a very serious safety concern. I have to travel to alabama and florida several times each year from my home in south carolina and this has happened when trying to pass large16 wheeler trucks or just keep up with traffic flow. To do this when traveling at speeds of 65 - 70 miles per hr. Has concerned me, it is a serious safety matter. It could easily cause a serious crash and death. On a resent trip(july /2015) to alabama on i-65 traveling at speeds on 70+ my car started to decelerate to down it was near 50 miles per hour, i pulled off highway and turned my car off. I have checked to make sure it is not over heating, which it is not. The temp. Gauge is below the half mark and the rpm gauge will not move past 2. 5. Also, on this trip i noticed that any slight hill going up it would have trouble pulling and start to decelerate then once i got up this hill it would accelerate to 80+ miles per hr. I have read quite a few complaints on this site concerning the same things are happening when traveling long highway trips . This must be taken care of by nissan before someone dies or seriously injured. |
