Description of the problem | I almost died this weekend in my 2013 nissan rogue!!! Going speed limit of 75 mph uphill from phoenix to prescott on i117 freeway. After driving for about an hour and at an elevation of about 3,500 feet outside of a town called "bumble bee" my nissan rogue without warning or any indicator lights coming on, begins to gradually decelerate down to just above 40 mph. Two lane highway with no shoulders on either side... Very dangerous and now i am down to going a mere 30-40 mph on a highway where speed limit is 75 miles per hour!!! Rogue gradually slows down even though i have my foot depressed fully on the gas, pushing with all my weight all the way down to the floor board. Semi truck is coming up very quickly behind me and didn't anticipate me slowing down especially since my brake was not depressed and almost rear ended me. Semi truck literally had to gear down and switch lanes since he could not slow down in time to avoid hitting me. Scared the life out of me but there was no where i could go! Literally had to put on hazards and continue at 40 mph or so for next 20 miles until i could exit onto highway 89, pull over and stop. This vehicle is a death trap and someone will be fatally injured just as i almost was this past weekend. I do not feel safe in my 2013 nissan rogue and am terrified to drive my children around in it. Took to nissan dealer today and apparently nissan is well aware of the issues. It is a problem with the transmission oil heating up and rogue going into a "fail safe" mode and decelerating. Cvt needs to be added or replaced! Why is this vehicle not being recalled!? Are they waiting for someone to die or for a class action lawsuit to ensue before doing what is morally and ethically right!? Shame on you nissan for letting corporate greed and profits mean more to you than safety! |
