Consumer Description

HELLO TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I'M POSTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE THIS VEHICLE HAS AND I'VE HEARD MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO OF DRIVING THE CAR OR GOING UP A PRETTY STEEP HILL ON A HOT DAY THE CAR LOOSES POWER COMPLETELY AND WILL HAVE TROUBLE TO GO OVER 45MPH AND WHAT I'VE READ UP ON THIS ISSUE THE VEHICLE COME WITH A SENSOR THAT MAKES THE CAR GO INTO A SAFETY MODE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GETS TOO HOT AND IT'S DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT HAVING A FLUID COOLER. I'VE HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS IN THE FREEWAY WHERE CARS HAVE CAME REALLY CLOSE TO REAR ENDING ME IN THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY AS WELL AS OTHERS AND WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE GETTING SUED DUE TO AN ISSUE NISSAN HAS WITH THEIR VEHICLE
