The car goes into a limp mode. Cannot accelerate past 20mph. Mechanic determined my transmission is bad. Quoted $4,000 to repair. Car has 87, 511 miles. Should not be an issue. I was on the highway and almost got hit by other cars.

This car is very dangerous, i will be going down the highway and it loses speed for no reason. I try to get it gas and my speed decreases. I have almost been in several accidents due to this scary problem. I've called the dealership and they say nothing is wrong with this vehicle. It's gonna take someone losing there life before nissan will admit this be vehicle needs to be recalled. Will never buy another nissan
