NHTSA Complaint #10735433 — 2010 NISSAN ROGUE

DRIVING TO THE BEACH, ABOUT TWO HOURS IN ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70+, I NOTICED THE CAR LAGGED AFTER I STOPPED ON AN EXIT WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT THE LIGHT. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AND WENT ON TO GET FOOD. THEN ANOTHER HOUR LATER I FELT MY SPEED SUDDENLY DROPPING. I WAS GOING 80 ON CRUISE CONTROL AND THEN DROPPED DOWN TO 70, EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY I HAD TIME TO PULL OVER TO AN EXIT, I WAITED ABOUT 15 MINS AND THE CAR SEEMED FINE. ABOUT ANOTHER 45 MINUTES LATER, I WAS DRIVING AND TRYING TO MERGE ON 1-95, THE RAMP IS A BIG CURVE SO I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. A TRACTOR TRAILER ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE BACK BUT LUCKILY I PULLED OFF THE ROAD JUST IN TIME. BUT THE PLACE I HAD TO PULL OVER WAS UNSAFE AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO MERGE ON THE INTERSTATE SAFELY, BUT I HAD NO CHOICE OF WHERE TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I WAS JUST TRYING TO NOT GET HIT. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND NOW MY PARENTS WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY ANYTIME I NEED TO TRAVEL IN THIS CAR FOR OVER 2 HOURS.
