| Description of the problem | I was traveling to sacramento from los angeles in oct. 2016. After driving for about 4 hours my car started to lose speed. I pushed the pedal all the way to the floor and i could not accelerate any faster. I pulled off the freeway and waited for a little while and then got back on the road and then warning light came on and never went off. On the way home i was headed up the grapevine (i-5 south) and i lost speed again and pulled over to the truck lane going uphill and my speed dropped as low as 20 mph and that was with me pushing the pedal all the way to the floor. I had several semi-trucks behind me and could not change lanes without possibly causing an accident. I was very scared and once i made it up the hill i was able to gain a little speed going downhill and continued home. Ii took my car to a mechanic and he told me that it was an issue w/my transmission. I called nissan and since i was barely over my warranty i was told that i would have to pay for my transmission myself and i was very upset as my car had just over 60,000. I started researching my issue and discovered this was a common, known problem with nissan and rogue's in particular. This is very dangerous and i hope they do something before someone loses their life. Having your speed drop so dramatically on a busy interstate w/several semi-trucks is very frightening. Since then i have not driven my car on trips over 2 hours away because i don't feel safe. I had this same type of problem months before on a trip to las vegas but just let it go because no warning light came on and i thought it was a fluke. I was completely shocked to see that nissan knows of this problem w/the transmission and has done nothing to fix it. I now have a rattling noise coming from my car and i'm afraid to see what that is going to cost me. I only drive to/from work and work less than 5 miles from my home. Ugh!! |
