| Description of the problem | After approximately 2 hours of driving on the highway, the transmission goes into "limp" mode. Nissan states this is the result of the transmission overheating and the only solution is installing a new nissan external cooler. Car will barely reach 55-60 mph especially if going up hill. Also, once the car is stopped it will not accelerate quickly. The first time this happened it gave no warning and it almost caused an accident due to the accelerator not responding when my attempting to turn across oncoming traffic. This is going to cause an accident with serious injuries or worse if not addressed. There was no warning the transmission had overheated and gone into this mode. The first sign was the car simply failing to accelerate with the gas pedal depressed to the floor. Multiple times the car has just suddenly decelerated in heavy highway traffic from 75 mph to 55 mph after only 1. 5-2 hours of highway driving. This seems to be a significant defect that is going to cause an accident. Also it appears that this issue has been ongoing for a extended period of time with little to no effort from the manufacturer to address the issue. |
