ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SINCE THE START OF 2018 I HAVE HAD MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS TO HELP SOLVE THIS ISSUE. EVERY TIME THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NOTHING COULD DO FOR ME. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURE THEY ALSO SAID THE SAME THING THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY THAT I STATED. THIS IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURE WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING.

POWER TRAIN
AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY VEHICLE STARTS SPIDER AND JERK AND LOSE POWER MAKING IT HARD TO ACCELERATE. THEN BEGINS TO ONLY REV AT A HIGH RPM AND NOT MOVE FORWARD SO I AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME TRANSMISSION AND AFTER FURTHER REVIEW OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS AND TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS, I REALIZE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH THIS MANUFACTURER FOR MANY YEARS. AND ALSO THAT MANY HAVE BEEN REFUSED SERVICE FROM POWERTAIN WARRANTIES THAT COVER TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON THE VEHICLE!!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER 441 SOUTHERN NISSAN IN WELLINGTON, FL REFUSED TO TEST THE CAR AFTER THEIR COMPUTER SAID THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE OTHER DEALER, GREENACRES NISSAN INDICATED THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM AFTER CHECKING IT OUT AND SAID THEY ORDERED THE PART. THE PART DID NOT ARRIVE AND NOW THEY SAY NO ONE IN THE AREA HAS THE PART. I BELIEVE THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THESE RADAR SENSORS. SOMEONE IN THE SERVICE DEPT TOLD ME THEY HEARD THERE IS A SOFTWARE FIX BEING WORKED ON. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURE. THANKS,
