| Description of the problem | The car experienced extreme deceleration on the highway. I was unable to accelerate in a minimum 45 mile per hour highway (in puerto rico) when car decelerated and was unable to go more than 5 miles per hour after decelerating for a toll. As i changed lanes to get to the shoulder, i almost caused what could have been a fatal accident of myself and my infant daughter. I pulled over to the shoulder and shut the car off. I was in the middle of the island and could not afford a tow truck. I waited for two hours and tried starting the car again to see if i could continue. The car seemed back to normal and i made it home. The extreme acceleration has happened to me 2 other times and i cannot afford another vehicle. I recently researched this issue and there is a wide array of people having similar issues and similar experiences and close calls with vehicular accidents. Since the first incident, the car now has 130k miles and does not qualify for the extended warranty. I am an active duty member stationed overseas in puerto rico and did not receive notification that a warranty was extended. Please help me effect a nissan recall in cvt engines in the select models mentioned in their consumer affairs website. Thank you for your time. |
