| Description of the problem | Driving at 70 mph going uphill the car, with no warning or indication, slowed down to 25 mph. Press the pedal fully would not make the car go any faster. It was in the summer so it was very hot in california. When you on the freeway with two babies the last thing you want is your car slowing down to 25 mph. This is extremely dangerous. Took it to the dealer and they said it needs a transmission cooler. It tool 3 months for them to get the part. They installed it in the winter and of course it is not hot anymore. This summer we drove out to arizona during a record high heat wave and once again this time driving 75 mph with the cruise control on, it disengaged and i pressed the accelerator down and the car slow to 60mph on flat ground. Then on a slight incline the vehicle slowed down to 45mph in a 70mph zone. Out in the middle of the desert with my family. This is unacceptable for a car that was supposedly fixed. Took it to the dealership and they said the transmission needs to be replaced. So i called nissan and they said sorry we cannot help you. They do not even own up to a manufacturer defect. Do not buy this car! Nissan rogue 2012 test drive them in the hottest part of the summer and i would recommend to drive it uphill during this time. |
