My 2013 nissan has 75,000 highway miles. I've had no issues with the car until christmas eve. Driving home from work when my car started running rough, it didn't seem to have any pick up. I pulled into the closest nissan dealership to find out i had transmission failure and that my warranty had just ran out..i am looking into this a bit more because this transmission is not used in the 2014 or 15 model. *tr

I was waiting at a red light to make a left turn. Once the light turned green and i stepped on the accelerator, the car started to jerk and lost power. It did not turn completely off but it would not drive. I had to put my hazard lights on to avoid being rear ended by the vehicle directly behind me that was also making a left turn. I owned the car for less than 24 hours at that point. It only had 152 miles on the…
