A MONTH AGO I WAS HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND COULD NOT MAKE THE LEFT TURN BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED. I BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN AND PAID ALMOST $5K FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. (2ND TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT IN THE LAST 3 YEARS). A MONTH LATER HAVING SAME ACCELERATION ISSUE, NISSAN A WEEK LATER SAID I NEEDED A FUEL PUMP. DROVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER PAYING ANOTHER $915 AND MY VEHICLE IS GIVING OFF A BURNING SMELL, MAKING HORRIBLE NOISE WHICH WASN'T PRESENT PREVIOUSLY AND STRUGGLING TO DRIVE.

MY VEHICLE CAN NEVER ACCELERATE 70+ MPH FOR MORE THAN 45 MINS AT A TIME, ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WILL SLOWLY START TO DECELERATE TO NO MORE THAN 40MPH. I'LL HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR ABOUT 10 MINS AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF.

A MONTH AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE SHAKING AND JITTERING AND WHINING NOISES. THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL THAT IT'S THE NEW STYLE TRANSMISSION. NOW 140K MILES LATER. I'M ONN A TRIP WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 75 I NOTICED I WAS SLOWING DOWN IT SLOWED TO 60 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. TURNED CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. ONCE I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL IT DID NOTHING. RPMS DIDNT GO UP MPH DIDNT GO UP. IT WAS LIKE IT JUST SHUT OFF. I GOT TO THE NEXT EXIT PULLED OFF ON SIDE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. IT WAS FINE ABOUT AN HOUR LATER IT DID THE SAME THING SO STOPPED AT A GAS STATION CHECKED FLUIDS EVERYTHING NORMAL. GOT BACK ON THE INTERSTATE IT WAS NORMAL AGAIN. MADE IT TO OUR DESTINATION AND VEHICLE SEEMED FINE THE NEXT 2 DAYS BUT WE NEVER NEEDED TO DRIVE OVER 55. ON THE TRIP HOME IT STARTED AGAIN ABOUT AN HOUR IN. SO WE STOPPED ATE AND GOT BACK ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS TIME WE KEPT THE SPEED UNDER 65 THE ENTIRE TRIP HOME AND IT WAS FINE. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT TO FIND OUT THAT IT'S MY TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE TRAVELING TO ORLANDO FLORIDA ON SUNDAY 05/27/2019, MY VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE MORE I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL THE SLOWER MY VEHICLE BECAME. BY THE GRACE OF GOD AN 18 WHEELER TRUCK SAW MY DISTRESS AND GUIDED ME 1 MILE TO THE EXIT ON I-75 SOUTH. MY CAR DROPPED DOWN TO 20 MPH. THIS WAS THE MOST TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. I WAS STRANDED FROM 6 PM SUNDAY UNTIL 6:30 AM THE NEXT MORNING WHERE I WAS THEN ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE MSU RAN ERRANDS COMPANY TO TOW ME 113 MILES TO MY NEPHEW'S HOME IN BRAYSELTON GEORGIA WHERE WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN BUFORD GEORGIA. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK TO FIND OUT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GONE. I NEVER HAD AN INDICATION THIS WAS GOING OUT AND NOW THE PRICE TO REPLACE THIS TRANSMISSION IS WELL OVER $5,000.00. I AM OVER 400 MILES AWAY FROM MY VEHICLE AND DON'T KNOW HOW I WILL GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT SINCE I AM NOT GOING TO GET IT FIXED BY THEM I NEED TO COME GET IT DUE TO THEM NOT HAVING ROOM TO STORE IT UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. THE WARRANTY ONLY LASTED FOR 60,000 MILES OR 5 YEARS WHICH EVER CAME 2ST. WHY CAN'T THE WARRANTY ON SUCH AN EXPENSIVE PART BE GIVEN A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY? PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF RIDING ALONG GOING ABOUT THEIR EVERYDAY BUSINESS OT KNOWING THE VEHICLE THEY PURCHASED CAN LITERALLY BE A DEATH TRAP. THIS IS SO NOT RIGHT TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF CASH FOR SUCH A HUGE REPAIR AND STILL HAVE A CAR NOTE TO PAY. I WOULD LIKE FOR NISSAN TO GO ONLINE AND READ THE REVIEWS OF THEIR PRODUCT, STAND BY THESE PEOPLE AND STAND BY HE PRODUCT. IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE LOOSE THEIR LIFE TO DIG DEEP INTO SEEING THE PROBLEM.
