I WAS DRIVING IN THE MORNING, ON A SOMEWHAT BUSY ROAD THAT ACTS AS A SMALL TWO LANE HIGHWAY THAT LEADS TO THE FREEWAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FELT LIKE I HAD GOTTEN A FLAT TIRE AND WAS DRIVING ON THE RIM. NO SOUNDS, JUST DRAMATIC LOSS OF POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON A VERY NARROW SHOULDER. INSPECTED TIRES AND ALL WERE PERFECTLY FINE. I WAITED A FEW, TURNED CAR ON WHICH STARTED JUST FINE. PUT CAR INTO GEAR BUT ABSOLUTELY NO ENGAGEMENT!! NOTHING. WITH FOOT PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, JUST DIDN'T MOVE. RPM'S WERE NORMAL ALONG WITH SPEED ODOMETER. THIS WAS NOT ONLY A SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN KNOWING THAT WHILE IN MOTION THIS VEHICLE LOST ALL ABILITY TO FUNCTION BUT A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND OTHERS. I TRULY HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. NOT OKAY NISSAN NOT OKAY

THIS VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING WHICH CAN BE A DEADLY HAZARD WHEN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION OR ANYWHERE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO REPAIR THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM.

WHICH GETTING TO 60MPH THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE AND WILL DOWN SHIFT AND WHICH MAKES THE VEHICLE HARDER TO ACCELERATE AND IN SOME CASES WONT ACCELERATE AT ALL EVEN WITH THE RPMS CONTINUING TO RAISE. I HAVE GOTTEN IT LOOKED AT BY CERTIFIED MECHANICS AND THE SAID THEY CANNOT TELL THE ISSUE ESPECIALLY WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS AND NO FAULTY CODES. WHEN SITTING AT A STAND STILL THE RPMS CONTINUE TO RAISE OVER 2000 EVEN WITH THE VEHICLE IN PARK.

ON OUR RETURN TRIP FROM MIRAMAR BEACH, FL TO OUR HOME IN VESTAVIA HILLS, AL THE CAR'S SPEED ABRUPTLY REDUCED TO APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AFTER DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY (FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 HOURS) BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR OTHER THAN TO "VROOM" WHEN I PRESSED IT WITH MY FOOT. THE PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION DID NOT CORRECT ITSELF DURING THE REMAINING 75 MILES OF THE TRIP. WE ALSO SMELLED AN ODOR LIKE BURNED OIL WHEN WE STOPPED. VERY DANGEROUS AS ALL OTHER CARS PASSED US ON THIS ALABAMA STATE HIGHWAY AND THE SUBSEQUENT DISTANCE ON INTERSTATE-65. BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET, INCLUDING SETTLEMENTS OF CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY AWARDS FOR EARLIER MODEL YEARS, WE BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION AND IT'S FACTORY SETTINGS.

ANOTHER TIME WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING ON THE OH TURNPIKE 1 HOUR AWAY FROM HOME I LOST ACCELERATION WHILE GOING UPHILL AND COASTED TO AN AREA TO STOP. WHILE I WAS STOPPED THE CAR SMOKED AND IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL AFTER 30 MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO INFORMED IT MAY BE MY TRANSMISSION AND HE ADVISED TO NOT GO OVER 60 MPH AND TO TAKE THE BACK ROADS HOME.
