FIRST NOTICED IT KEPT POPPING OUT OF ALL WHEEL DRIVE IN A SNOW STORM WHILE DRIVING 15 MPR. NEXT ISSUE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65RPM THE SPEED KEPT DECELLERATING OR STICKING LIKE IT HAD A GOVANOR ON IT AT 65. NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE IT FOR MORE THEN TWENTY MINUTES WITHOUT IT DECELLERATING. IT WON'T SHIFT JUST STICKS AT 3RPM AND THE SPEED WILL NOT INCREASE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. FIRST TIME THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD BATTERY. SECOND TIME THEY HOOKED IT UP TO CHECK ENGINE MACHINE. IT DID NOT THROW A CODE SO THEY SAID IT WAS SAFT TO DRIVE. COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN IT STARTED BUCKING AND SPEED DECELLERATED VERY QUICKLY. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT HIT FROM BEHIND. SEEMS LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TO ME BUT HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING NISSIAN TO REPLACE IT. VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE. *TR
