WHILE ON MY WAY BACK TO LOUISIANA FROM MY VACATION IN FLORIDA DRIVING WEST BOUND ON INTERSTATE 10. MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER GOING UP AN INCLINE ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED DOWN THE DECLINE. I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE TO A GAS STATION AND CHECKED MY VEHICLE FOR LEAKAGE AND FOUND NONE. I CHECKED ALL FLUID LEVELS THE WAY THE MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTS YOU TO AND ALL LEVELS WERE IN OPERATING RANGE. I RETURNED TO THE INTERSTATE AND THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS BOXED IN BY 18 WHEELERS AND ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE. I STARTED CHECKING INTERNET TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND FOUND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS HAVING THESE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR NISSAN. HONESTLY THIS HAD TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT [XXX] WITH ANY MORE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
