NHTSA Complaint #11269024 — 2013 NISSAN ROGUE

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!!!
