Electrical system, ignition, anti-theft, immobilizer/proximity, key/senderFeb 16, 2023
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.
Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.

CAR LOST ACCELERATION WHEN GOING DOWN A LONG HILL AT ABOUT 45 MPH ON THE MAIN ROAD FROM OUR HOUSE TO OUR TOWN. RPM'S WERE GOING UP AND DOWN WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE APPLIED TO GAS OR BRAKES. CAR WAS THEN HARD TO PUT INTO GEAR, YOU COULD GET IT TO ENGAGE AFTER 5-10 TIMES TRYING. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS WAS LESS THAN 2MOS AFTER THE PC490 CAMPAIGN WAS PREFORMED ON MY CAR AND A TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE.

MY VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN I'M DRIVING CAUSING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 40MPH AT 4-5 RPM, THE GAS PEDDLE DOES NOT WORK YOU CAN FEEL THE PULL ON THE CAR THERE IS NO POWER. I NEED TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO NOT BLOW MY TRANSMISSION BUT THEN I DROP TO ABOUT 20MPH AND ON HIGHWAYS OR EVEN SIDE ROADS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. BECAUSE THIS ONLY HAPPENS HERE AND THERE (3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH) AND NEVER PREDICTABLY, THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THEY CANNOT FIX OR DO ANYTHING TO THE CAR WITHOUT THE ISSUE HAPPENING THERE UNDER THEIR SUPERVISION. AS I STATED, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WELL DOCUMENTED FROM CURRENT AND PREVIOUS NISSAN OWNERS AND EVERYONE'S DESCRIPTION OF THE INCIDENTS ARE IDENTICAL. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ON ALL VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. WHEN MY I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT STATES THAT MY BATTERY WAS BAD THEN RECOMMEND ME TO CHANGE THE POSITIVE TERMINAL SO I SAY I HAVE BOUGHT THE BATTERY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY REPLACE THE BATTERY THEN I AGREE TO CHANGE THE POSITIVE TERMINAL SINCE IT WAS UNDER $100. AFTER CHANGE BOTH TAKE IT BACK AND DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO START MY CAR UP AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE FUSE WAS LOOSED SO THEY RELEASE THE CAR TO ME AND IT HAS STALLED AT NIGHT MY MY CHILDREN IN IT AND I HAVE TO GET HELP AND PUSH MY CAR IN KROGER PARKING LOT AND PLAN TO TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING. THE NEXT MORNING IT STARTS UP SO I DRIVE TO MY FRIEND HOUSE TO PARK IT THERE AND WAIT UNTIL MONDAY TO TAKE IT BACK, THEY THEN THIS TIME WANT ME TO CHANGE THE CHAISSY CONTROL AND I HAVE TOLD THEM THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

CAR SUDDENLY STOPS ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING (THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY). CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 9,000 MILES (YES, BRAND NEW CAR) AND NOW NEEDS NEW CVT FOR SAME PROBLEM AT 69,000 MILES, HOWEVER THIS TIME NOT UNDER WARRANTY. TWO TRANSMISSION FAILURES UNDER DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES WITH NO WARNING! NOT A GOOD TRACK RECORD NISSAN.

I PURCHASED A 2016 ROGUE SV (VIN [XXX], I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BROUGHT IT HOME. I HAD THE HEAD UNIT REPLACE NO LESS THAN 4 SEPARATE TIMES BECAUSE IT WOULD STOP WORKING AND GO BLACK. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS BEING REPLACED WITH A "BRAND NEW UNIT". THE DEALERSHIP FORGOT TO TRANSFER MY XM SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NEW UNIT, SO WHEN I CALLED TO ACTIVATE I FIND OUT NOT ONLY IS IT NOT NEW, ITS 4 YEARS OLDER THAN THE CAR I OWN. WHILE REPLACING THIS THE TECHNICIANS DESTROYED THE SURROUNDING TRIM. LAST JUNE MY CAR STARTED STALLING OUT, THIS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE ENGINE DIED BUT THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS STAYED ON. IT HAS DIED AT GAS STATIONS, STOP LIGHTS AND PULLING ONTO A ROADWAY. IT CONTINUES TO SHUDDERS AT STOP LIGHTS. NISSAN WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE EVENTS SO I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT HOME. LAST WEEK MY ROGUE BEGAN TO PUSH 6000 RPMS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND I NEVER MADE IT ABOVE 45MPH. DURING THIS EVENT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO BELOW 4000RPMS, THIS EVENT LASTED ABOUT 30MINS. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WE HAVE VIDEO OF THE EVENTS, ABOUT 15 MINUTES WORTH. I WAS TOLD THIS WEEK THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD SENT THE ISSUES TO NISSAN, AND THAT WITH THE VIDEO/THE COMPLAINTS THAT NISSAN WOULD REPLACE AND FIX WHAT THEY BELIEVED TO BE THE PROBLEM, SOMETHING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP THEN CALLED MY HUSBAND AND TOLD HIM THAT WE COULD PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND TAKE IT HOME. THEY TOLD HIM THAT "NISSAN CREATED A TECHNOLOGY" THAT IS NOW INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE SO THE NEXT TIME AN EVENT HAPPENS IT WILL RECORD IT, TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT FOR A 1,000 MILES. I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE TO DELIVER MY DAUGHTER AND I SAFELY AND RELIABLY TO OUR DESTINATION. I WILL BE HAPPY TO SHARE THE VIDEO AS WELL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

-CAR HAS 56,000 MILES -A FEW TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, IT HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP -YESTERDAY, IT HAPPENED A LOT, AND SEVERAL TIMES I EVEN PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR, AND NOTHING HAPPENED...THEN IT SUDDENLY REVVED AND SHOT FORWARD AFTER A FEW SECONDS. TERRIFYING. -I RESEARCHED AND IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT TODAY THE DEALER SAID THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES, ETC., ARE SHOWING UP.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO (2018) MY CAR STARTED OCCASIONALLY LOSING POWER AFTER I HAD STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AFTER DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY. I WOULD PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER. IF I KEEP DRIVING WHILE THIS HAPPENS, EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 40 MPH, THE RPMS WILL GO UP TO 4K-5K AND THE ENGINE WILL REV WITHOUT GAINING SPEED. IT WILL THEN START LURCHING FORWARD AND JERKING BACK AND FORTH. I FINALLY FIGURED OUT THAT IF I STOP AND THEN RESTART MY CAR, THE ISSUE SUBSIDES. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE HAS STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I WOULD ESTIMATE DRIVING THE CAR FOR AN HOUR, IT WILL HAPPEN 7-8 TIMES (WHEN TURNING THE CAR OFF, THEN ON AGAIN). IT MAKES DRIVING DANGEROUS WHEN I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN NEEDED OR WHEN MY CAR IS JERKING UNCONTROLLABLY. MY STRUTS ALSO KEEP SQUEAKING WHEN I GO OVER SPEED BUMPS OR ANY OTHER BUMP. THE DEALER REPEATEDLY TELLS ME IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NOTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SINCE IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE.

IN OCTOBER OF 2018 I TOOK MY SUV WITH PICTURES TO LET THEM KNOW THAT I TACHOMETER WAS GOING UP TO HIGH I WAS PUTTING ON THE GAS BUT MY VEHICLE WASN'T MOVING. THEY HAD IT FOR THREE DAYS AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I WENT BACK TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND I LET ME KNOW I WAS STILL HAVING THE PROBLEMS. NOTHING EVERY DONE. ON SATURDAY I WENT AN GOT GAS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT TO O'REILLY TO SEE WHAT THE CODE SHOWED IT SAID DTC P0776; PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID B. THERE WAS A YOUNG MAN THAT WORKED ON CARS THERE AND HE EXPLAINED TO ME THE ISSUE WAS IN THE TRANSMISSION. HE SAID THIS DOESN'T OCCUR OVER NIGHT AND HAD I TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I TOLD HIM YES AND HE TOLD ME TO CALL THEM. I CALLED THEM THIS MORNING AND THE SERVICE MANGER TOLD ME I NEVER COMPLAINED AGAIN AND I DID BUT NOTHING WAS DONE. MAYBE IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T PURCHASE IT FROM THEM. I HAVE 66,000 MILES THIS A SHAME THEY DON'T CARE. I AM CURRENTLY IN GARY, INDIANA HELPING TO ASSIST WITH MY ELDERLY MOTHER THAT HAS DEMENTIA, THIS IS THE REASON I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN ADDRESS: 220 VERPLANK ROAD, CHESTERTON, IN 46304 PHONE: (219) 787-1777 AT: BOB ROHRMAN PLEASE CONTACT ME BY EMAIL OR PHONE

WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE IN MY CAR INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE CAR LOSES POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND BREAKS. BECAUSE THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURS, I CANNOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY TO RESTART IT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR LONGER DISTANCES, ALTHOUGH NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONER OR HEAT SEEM TO MAKE THE ISSUE WORSE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASH ONCE PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. THE BATTERY IS STILL ON, SO THE RADIO IS STILL OPERATIONAL, AS ARE ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS. I OFTEN DON'T KNOW THAT THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF UNTIL I TRY TO ACCELERATE OR BREAK AND AM UNABLE TO DO SO. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A 5 POINT INSPECTION AND TO HAVE THEM DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I WAS TURNED AWAY AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE.
Power train, Aug 11, 2018
MY 2016 NISSAN ROGUE EXPERIENCED AN ABRUPT AND TOTAL FAILURE OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH AND LOSE POWER. THIS ABRUPT FAILURE MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY THAT RIDES IN THIS CAR, HAD IT STALLED ON THE BUSY ST LOUIS MO INTERSTATES WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND POSSIBLY KILLED, LUCKILY I WAS ON A BUSY, BUT LESS TRAVELED ROAD AND I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT. ONCE I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I INSISTED THAT THEY RIDE WITH ME SO THEY KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND NOT TRY TO SAY THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN DRIVING IT ALONE. THE SERVICE PROFESSIONAL WAS VERY UPFRONT AND HONEST WITH ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS DEFINITELY THE TRANSMISSION AND NISSAN HAS TONS OF THESE ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A WEEK NOW FOR A TRANSMISSION REBUILD. HOWEVER, NISSAN IS NOT OFFERING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR ANYTHING ON IT, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THEY ARE FAULTY AND DANGEROUS, I WILL ONLY HAVE 20,000 MILES LEFT ON MY WARRANTY ONCE I PICK MY CARE UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP. NISSAN DOESN'T OFFER LOANER CARS TO THOSE WITH WARRANTY WORK THAT NEEDS DONE, WE HAVE TO PAY $35 A DAY DUE TO THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES, THE LEAST THEY CAN DO IS OFFER LOANER VEHICLES FOR WARRANTY WORK! NISSAN NEEDS TO HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR LEMON VEHICLES AND BE REQUIRED TO BUY THEM BACK ON THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, EVEN WITH THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND I DON'T THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO TRADE THE CAR IN, ROLL OVER THOUSANDS TO ANOTHER VEHICLE LOAN AND PAY $1500 OR MORE IN TAXES TO LICENSE AND TITLE ANOTHER VEHICLE. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AND THEY NEED TO BE FINED FOR THEIR CONTINUED USE OF FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND MADE TO BUY BACK FAULTY AND DANGEROUS VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, A LOUD DRAGGING NOISE WAS HEARD.

WHEN ACCELERATING ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET, I NOTICED VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A LOUD WHINING/PURRING NOISE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED (AND I DO HAVE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY). THIS WAS A WEDNESDAY SO I WAS GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE ON THURSDAY WHILE MY CAR WOULD BE IN THE SHOP OVER THE WEEKEND. MONDAY MORNING, NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM DEALERSHIP. TUESDAY, SAME. WEDNESDAY, STILL NO WORD LATE IN THE AFTERNOON SO I HAD TO CALL AND THE SERVICE COORDINATOR INFORMS ME THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE NISSAN STATES THE NOISE THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING IS NOT "LOUD" ENOUGH. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON MY VEHICLE THAT IS TITLED "INFORMATION TO PREVENT CVT REPLACEMENT DUE TO MISDIAGNOSIS OF NOISE" THAT THE DEALERSHIP'S SHOP FOREMAN WENT THROUGH AND THEIR CONCLUSION WAS THAT THIS IS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I CALLED NISSAN AND OPENED A CASE. MY CASE MANAGER SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND MY CASE WAS CLOSED BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE SHOP TECHNICIAN AND NISSAN, THERE'S NOTHING "MECHANICALLY" WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND IT IS "WORKING PROPERLY" IT JUST MAKES AN UNPLEASANT NOISE. SO I CALLED NISSAN AND RE-OPENED MY CASE AND THE ASSISTANT OF MY CASE MANAGER INFORMS ME THAT MY NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT AND SEE IF THEIR FINDINGS ARE DIFFERENT. THERE ARE NO NEARBY ALTERNATE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS THAT I CAN EASILY TAKE MY VEHICLE TO. NISSAN IS FORCING ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING MY VEHICLE DESPITE THEM KNOWING THERE IS A KNOWN FAILURE AND EXPECTING ME TO CONTINUE MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR A VEHICLE THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING.

I PURCHASED MY 2016 NISSAN ROGUE AT THE END OCT OF 2016. SO I'VE OWNED IT FOR 17 MONTHS AND IT HAS APPROX 24K MILES. UP UNTIL FEB 24TH, 2018, I HAD NO ISSUES SAVE FOR EXTRA RATTLE-Y DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. ON THAT DATE IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENENCE (OIL/ROTATION/BALANCE). SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR IS NOT HANDLING WELL, AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A WINDY DAY OR IT WAS SLIPPERY ROAD DUE TO RAIN, BUT AS TIME WENT ON, THE CAR SEEMED WOBBLY/BOUNCY ON IT'S WHEELS (40+ MPH) AND WOULD BEGIN TO SLIP/SLIDE/SKIP OUT OF THE LANE (60+ MPH) I'M DRIVING IN. I AM ABLE TO CORRECT FOR IT BUT IT'S SCARY TO DRIVE AND FEELS LIKE IT'S GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S STRUGGLING TO GO UP SMALL HILL (30 MPH) AND WHEELS/TIRES DON'T SEEM TO BE GRIPPING THE ROAD EVENLY. I HAVE TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE AGREED SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IT'S NOT A TIRE BALANCE OR ALIGNMENT TYPE OF ISSUE. THUS FAR I'VE ONLY BEEN TOLD IT'S NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE, POSSIBLY AXLE OR DRIVETRAIN ISSUE. AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE PROVIDED A SUBPAR LOANER AND ARE STATING THAT THE REPAIRS WILL BE UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I AM HUGELY CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE IS ALREADY BECOME AN ISSUE. AT THIS POINT, I DON'T WAN'T THE CAR ANYMORE. ONCE THEY HAVE MADE REPAIRS, I AM FORTUNATE THAT I CAN PROBABLY AFFORD TO JUST TRADE IN AND GET A NEW (NOT NISSAN AGAIN EVER) CAR. BUT I FEEL CONCERNED IF SOMEONE ELSE WERE TO PURCHASE MY TRADE IN AS A USED CAR NOT KNOWING THE POTENTIAL HIDDEN SAFETY ISSUES THAT MAY (LIKELY) ARISE.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2016 NISSAN ROGUE. THE DRIVER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND SUGGESTED THAT IT BE SERVICED BY THE DEALER WHO SOLD THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND THE GEARS WERE DIFFICULT TO SHIFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HILLTOP NISSAN, 258 NJ-10, EAST HANOVER, NJ 07936, (973) 887-5400) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED TWICE, BUT INDICATED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A THIRD TIME. THE DEALER WAS UNCERTAIN IF THEY COULD OFFER A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

AS I WAS TRAVELLING ON A MAJOR FREEWAY, MY BRAND NEW 2016 NISSAN ROGUE BEGAN TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS "JUMPING." AT THAT POINT I NOTICED MY RPMS WERE HIGH FOR THE SPEED I WAS GOING. NOT EVEN 30 SECONDS AFTER, MY CAR COMPLETELY STALLED. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE OF THE FREEWAY AND BARELY HAD TIME TO REACT. I ENDED UP STUCK ON THE MEDIAN OF THE FREEWAY. I ENDED UP HAVING THE CAR TAKEN TO THE DEALER DOWN THE ROAD. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I REFUSED TO DRIVE IT AND BEGAN SEEKING FURTHER HELP THROUGH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. AFTER NEARLY A MONTH, AN ENGINEER FROM NISSAN TOOK 5 MINUTES TO LOOK AT IT AND NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE PREVIOUS WEEK BEFORE THIS MAJOR INCIDENT, THE CAR IS STALLED A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOME ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. NOW HERE WE ARE 2 MONTHS LATER, AND IT FEELS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN.
