THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED LAST SUMMER. WHILE GOING UP A HILL AT 75MPH (SPEED LIMIT IN THAT STATE), THE CRUISE CONTROL CUT OFF, AND VEHICLE LOST POWER, AND RPM'S WOULD NOT EXCEED 2500 RPM AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 60MPH, WHICH EVERY TIME I HIT A HILL, WOULD DECREASE TO 40MPH. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE NEXT TWO HOURS, WHERE RPM'S WOULD NOT EXCEED 2500 RPM, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN SEMI-TRUCKS ARE BEHIND YOU. A SEARCH ONLINE STATED THIS WAS THE TRANSMISSION GOING INTO FAIL-SAFE MODE, ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP STATED NO, BECAUSE A CODE WOULD COME BACK. FOR ALMOST A YEAR, I WOULD NOT TAKE MY CAR OUT OF TOWN FOR WORK, FOR FEAR THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. DECIDED TO TAKE IT ON A LONG ROAD TRIP THIS AUGUST, AND AGAIN, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS TIME, THE ONLY WAY TO GET RPM'S AND MPH'S BACK, WAS TO PULL OVER AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR 20 MINUTES OR SO. IT WOULD THEN DRIVE NORMAL FOR ANYWHERE FROM 30 MIN-1 HOUR, BEFORE LOOSING POWER AGAIN. TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP UPON ARRIVING HOME, AND THIS TIME, THERE IS A BULLETIN FOR THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING, AND IT NEEDS A COOLER, TO THE TUNE OF $1,400 AND IS 2 MONTHS BACKORDERED. I WAS TOLD THIS PROBLEM WOULD ONLY OCCUR ON LONG ROAD TRIPS, AND I WOULD BE FINE TAKING IT ON A 5 HR TRIP THAT WEEKEND. COME 3 DAYS LATER, 45 MINUTES INTO THE TRIP, THE CRUISE CONTROL CUT OFF, BEGAN BLINKING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND RPM'S DECREASED TO BTWN 2000-2500. PULLED OVER TO LET IT COOL, AND THEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. DECIDED TO TURN BACK AROUND, AND 3 TIMES ON THE WAY HOME (APPX. EVERY 15 MINUTES), I LOST ALL POWER. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT THE RPM'S WOULD NOT GO OVER 0, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO LET IT SIT FOR 15-20 MINUTES EACH TIME, AND THEN WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 15 MIN, BEFORE LOOSING ALL POWER AGAIN. TOOK IT INTO AUTO SHOP, AND CODE READS, "P1778", WHICH IS "STEP-MOTOR MALFUNCTION". *TR

GOING AT FREEWAY SPEED...COULD NOT ACCELERATE, NEITHER TO PASS NOR TO RECOVER FROM HAVING TO SLOW DOWN FOR TRAFFIC. WHEN PRESSING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL, NOTHING HAPPENED: NO ACCELERATION AND NO INCREASE IN RPM. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS GOING UP A HILL. NOW IT HAPPENS ANY TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE, FLAT ROAD OR INCLINE. THE CAR DOES FINE INITIALLY AND DURING NORMAL STOP AND GO CITY DRIVING FOR SHORT DURATIONS. THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS A CLOGGING IN FUEL INJECTORS, SO CLEANED THEM OUT TO NO AVAIL. DEALER SAYS THEY "CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG." THIS IS A DANGEROUS FLAW THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN!!!! *TR

I PURCHASED A CAR FROM GWINNETT PLACE NISSAN IN NOVEMBER 2013. IN MAY OF 2014 WHILE DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO DISNEY THE CAR STARTED TO DECREASE IN SPEED. I WAS DRIVING AT 75 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR STARTED DECREASING IN SPEED. MY CAR WENT FROM 75 TO 40 IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. ALTHOUGH I HAD THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, IT WOULDN'T PICK UP ANY SPEED. THANK GOD THERE WASN'T ANY ACCIDENT. I'VE SPOKEN TO NISSAN ABOUT THIS MANY TIMES AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE HANDLING THIS PROBLEM. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR NISSAN TO RECOGNIZE AND FIX THIS ISSUE. A FATAL ACCIDENT? *TR

AFTER DRIVING 45 MINUTES ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO A STATE HIGHWAY TO CONTINUE MY TRIP. AFTER PROCEEDING FROM THE STOP SIGN AT THE OFF RAMP, I WAS NEARLY IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I PLACED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER TO CLEAR THE INTERSECTION. ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES I. ORDER TO AVOID A COLLISION. IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE A VEHICLE DOING THAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. *TR
