WHILE ON A 4 HOUR TRIP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER , THE ENGINE WOULD WINE AND THEN SUDDENLY START LOSING SPEED AND BE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR TOP SPEED IS 45 MPH IN A 75MPH SPEED LIMIT ZONE. NO ONE KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IT ONLY HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER. NISSAN IS NOW AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND A) CANNOT GUARANTEE IT CAN FIX THE PROBLEM AND B) CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN EVEN IF THEY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.

ON 8/3/2015 I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE DROVE MY CAR PERFECTLY WELL. WHEN I WAS READY TO GO HOME MY CAR WOULD NOT START. MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. NEXT DAY I CALL NISSAN SINCE I SAW SO MANY POSTINGS ABOUT THIS ISSUE OPENED A CLAIM, AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR TO GET A DIAGNOSIS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND CALL THEM BACK WITH THE FINDINGS, BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AS OF MARCH 3,2015. I TOOK THE CAR PAYED A TOW TRUCK AGAIN THEN HAD TO PAY $130 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY COULD AND WOULD DO NOTHING! I HAD TO PAY $1007. AND THEY CLAIMED I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR OVER 41 MONTHS. HOW IS IT THAT THEY KNOW ITS A MALFUNTION, AND THEY GET AWAY WITH NO RECALL! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN VEHICLE

I HAD STOPPED AT THE GROCERY STORE AND WENT TO GET BACK IN MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START, IT WOULD NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE THE KEY. MY KEY FOB WOULD UNLOCK, LOCK & POP MY TRUNK BUT MY CAR ACTED LIKE IT WOULDN'T ACCEPT MY KEY FOB. MY STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT LOCKED & IT HAS BEEN TOWED AND SAT OVERNIGHT & ITS STILL NOT LOCKED, MY ELECTRONIC STEERING WHEEL LOCK HAS GONE OUT ON MY CAR & WITH ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE I FOUND OUT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART TO 6 YEARS BUT IT SEEMS ALL THESE FAILURES ARE HAPPENING AFTER THAT 6 YEAR MARK HAS BEEN HIT. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND RELEASED A BULLETIN ON IT BUT NOT A RECALL, I BELIEVE WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT EVERYONE IS HAVING THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED I WAS QUOTED 800-1000.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS EVIDENTLY A FAULTY PART INSTALLED BY NISSAN AND THEY SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT
