NHTSA Complaint #11493441 — 2013 NISSAN ROGUE

I was traveling on the interstate and the vehicle RPMs jumped up to 4k but the vehicle began to slow down. I removed my foot from the accelerator to reduce the RPMs and then reapplied the accelerator which increased the RPMs to close to 5k but the vehicle continued to slow down. I traveled in the emergency lane until the next exit as the vehicle continued to lose speed down to 20 MPH. At the end of the exit ramp, I came to a complete stop and needed to make a left turn. During this turn, the vehicle did not exceed 10 MPH even though the RPMs exceeded 4k. Once I reached the parking lot of the gas station, I turned the car off. I opened the hood to see if there was anything noticeably wrong and was not able to identify anything. I restarted the vehicle and everything seemed to be functioning fine and was able to complete my trip to my destination. This incident was the second of its type in 2 years. I took the vehicle to a shop for diagnostics as I did the first time. This time the mechanic was able to identify a code that showed an issue with the transmission. I consulted my personal mechanic and was notified of the reported transmission issues with the 2013 Nissan Rouge. I then contacted Nissan regarding the issue and was advised that owners would not have been notified of the safety issue and that they could not assist with repairs of the reported safety issue.
