| Description of the problem | My 2008 nissan rogue has a tendency to lose power on the highway after being driven for over a long period of time at a constant speed, usually about 45 minutes to an hour at 75 miles an hour. The vehicle will start my making a weird whistling or whining noise then after that you cannot accelerate it'll be stuck at whatever speed your going. When i come across a bridge or a hill it'll slow down a bit then accelerate once i'm going downhill then stop at a specific mph, no matter how much i press on the gas it will not go any further. When i off the highway and come to a complete stop and try to take off again it will not respond right away then it will take off with me as i'm pressing the gas, almost resulting in me running into other vehicles several times. When i take the vehicle to nissan it doesn't give any error codes or show that anything is wrong. Nissan cannot replicate the problem because they're not willing to pay someone to go drive the vehicle for over that long period of time. I commute to work and church on the highway five times a week and experience this just about every single day. I did however take the car to my local mechanic and he experience what the car is doing and he noticed nissan put too much fluid in my transmission when they replaced it after it stopped on me previously on the highway, that did solve the problem for several months but now it's doing the same thing again. I called nissan corporate they inform me there's no recall on the vehicle. I did a internet search and there are so many people with the same story and was even covered by the news station. One other thing they all have in common is that no one had that issue fix or know what is causing the problem. I recently rent a vehicle because i refuse to let my wife and one year old in the car by themselves. |
