| Description of the problem | Power train failure!! Death risk!! While on a road trip, my car completely lost power. My family and i were in complete danger. After driving about 50 miles, i lost all speed at the el cajon pass (15 fwy north, heading towards victorvile, ca). I was driving at an uphill incline when i noticed my speed was decreasing and i begain to make my way to the right. The far right lane, the "slow lane" is used by semi- trucks and even though they travel at at slow speeds they were traveling at a much higher speed. I had no choice but to cross through it and it was a miracle that we were able to get into that lane and exit the highway unharmed. I thought we were going to die smashed by an 18 wheeler. There are almost 200 complaints for this year, make, model stating the same issue just on this site, and there is many more on other sites. Please look into it before someone loses their life. Ive contacted nissan and they refuse to acknowledge any responsibility. Nissan had to issue a recall for the exact same issue on cvt transmissions on previous models up to year 2010 but wont admit to 2011 vehicles having the same malfunctioning transmission. These vehicles are unsafe and can potentially cause preventable deaths. No one should be allowed to sell defective vehicles. Please investigate this safety hazard. Lets protect our families. |
