| Description of the problem | I first experienced a loss of power in my vehicle while stopped at a red light. When the light turned green i started to go, even with the gas pedal pushed all the way to the floor the car would barely move. The engine would rev, but the car barely had any power. I drove it straight to the dealership where i bought it (hayes chrysler in gainesville) the stated it was they though the transmission needed to be replaced and sent it to the carriage nissan garage. After having it there for a few days the technician said he could not duplicate the problem! I left and before i could even get 15 miles down the road i was going approximately 60mph, when all the sudden i started losing speed. Regardless of the fact that i had the gas pedal too the floor! I turned around and took it straight to nissan, however in the last 10 minutes of my drive to the service shop the problem stopped! They kept it for another day and still could not duplicate the problem and they stated that it was most likely the abs senor that needed to be replaced. We replaced the sensor and i thought all the problems had been solved! Wrong!!!! There have been 3 instances were i have had the cruise control set while driving down the interstate, and all of the sudden i start losing speed! There have been 4 instances where i have almost been t-bones with my 2 small children in the car because the car has lost acceleration in the middle of an intersection!!! The morning i took my car to the shop this time (8-25-14) i was almost hit by a semi when my car couldn't get through the green light before it turned red. I have read hundreds of complaints, and fights for a recall on this transmission! My nissan tech states that if there is no code thrown during the incident then they cannot replace the transmission, yet every case i've read say that no code has shown up at all! This is a danger to owners of this vehicle. |
