Description of the problem | Myself with my 6 year old daughter were driving from new haven, ct to fitchburg, ma. About 1 hour into the drive, my 2013 nissan rogue would not accelerate beyond 40mph!!! We were in steady fast moving traffic on a hot july 20th, 2018 afternoon, heatwave weather! It was terrifying!!! I put on my blinkers and slowly veered to the right lane! I had to get off the highway and make it to the nearest gas station. After several frantic calls to family members trying to figure out what to do, i decided to add engine oil, anti-freeze, gas and water hoping something would help. After sitting for an hour, i drove on the local roads to try out the car again but realized i had to get back on the highway and try to accelerate above 60mph again!!!! We made it to our 3 hour trip destination. The next day on the way back, the same problem happened and this time after stopping for a while my car still would not accelerate until we sat with the car off for an hour in the heat in a town that i am not familiar with! We had to use all local roads to get back home and that took double the time because i had to keep pulling over so the car could cool off some!!!! Several mechanics have told me that i need a new transmission. It is too expensive to fix right now!!! I'm so disgusted with this car and cannot wait to get rid of it!!!! If a location takes over an hour to get to, i can't drive this car!!! My car is a pearl white color. The paint peeling on the hood and sides of the door is a whole other frustrating problem that gets worse and worse!!! |
