| Description of the problem | When going over 60 miles an hour, usually about an hour into a long drive, the nissan rogue will not accelerate. The rpm indicator goes haywire and my foot is completely down on the pedal but there is no acceleration. This first happened in august 2012 when i was driving over a mountain to get to the desert so i thought the car was overheating. Since then this has been happening consistently whenever i drive for over an hour (which i often do for work). At times, the car will not move forward if it is at a stoplight even when my foot is completely on the floor. Then it revs up after a minute but not before everyone else starts honking. This is extremely dangerous when you are on the freeway and suddenly your car stops accelerating. All the cars behind you start passing you but it will only take one car not paying attention to cause a huge accident, injury or death and then nissan will be in real trouble. I have found hundreds of incidences and complaints from other nissan rogue drivers over the past couple years with the exact same problem. |
