While driving on the highway for long periods of time the car will maintain a certain speed but the rpms will raise and lower and you can hear the engine rev up as if it is attempting to change gears.

There is a technicians bulletin for my car and is a known issue but nissan wants to charge to fix the issue. The issue is the piece is malfunctioning and has to be reprogrammed. When you are trying this problem makes the car stall a bit and could be dangerous if pulling out and the car is not able to obtain a higher speed.

I have been to the nissan dealership multiple times trying to figure out why my vehicle loses power randomly and why the car randomly shifts gears and reduces speed even with my foot on the gas. Yet while it does this the rpm needle surges between 3000 to 4500. Vehicle has no codes and dealership claims they can't reproduce the problem. My car has lost power on a major highway and yet im just suppose to believe the…
