NHTSA Complaint #11210744 — 2013 NISSAN ROGUE

I WAS ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO AN EXPRESSWAY TODAY, AND MY ACCELERATION CUT OUT IN MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND COASTED TO IDLE SPEED. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO MOVE OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AT IDLE SPEED, BUT I MAY HAVE NOT BEEN SO LUCKY IN ANOTHER SCENARIO. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR IS OFF OR THE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED. THE CAR SEEMS TO THINK THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED AND WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ACCELERATION. I FOUND THIS TSB FOR MY VEHICLE THAT DESCRIBES THE EXACT ISSUE I AM FACING. HOWEVER, THE TSB IS INACCURATE. IT STATES THERE IS "LOW POWER" WHEN ACCELERATING. THERE IS ACTUALLY "NO POWER." THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL WHEN THIS ISSUE IS ENCOUNTERED BUT WILL COAST TO IDLE SPEED. THIS ISSUE PUTS THE DRIVER'S LIFE AT RISK, AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROAD, AND SHOULD RESULT IN A FULL RECALL BEFORE PEOPLE DIE. THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE CLASSIFICATION AND INACCURACY OF THE FOLLOWING TSB, WHICH SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS RECALL AND CORRECTED TO REFLECT THE VEHICLE LOSING ALL ACCELERATION.
