2010 Nissan Rogue Complaint

Owner's description

OVER THE WEEKEND OF OCTOBER 16TH, I DROVE MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE FROM MD TO WILLIAMSBURG, VA AND BACK. MY FAMILY WAS ALMOST KILLED IN A CAR CRASH BECAUSE THE NISSAN ROGUE FAILED TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE ON A BUSY INTERSECTION. FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE A TOTAL OF 4 MORE TIMES COMING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. IF I DRIVE THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS ON HIGHWAY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY, IT TAKES ABOUT 5-6 SECONDS TO REACH A SPEED OF ABOUT 10MPH. THE NEXT DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING FINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE NOT GETTING ANY CODES FROM THE COMPUTER. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT AND HAD A TECHNICIAN DRIVE IT BACK AND FORTH FROM WORK TO HOME AND BACK TO WORK BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER CHECKING THE ODOMETER, THE COMPUTERS MPH AVERAGE SPEED AND THE AREA WHERE THE CAR WAS DRIVEN, TURNS OUT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS, IT WAS STOP AND GO DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY CONTINUOUSLY FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS FOR THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I NEVER KNOW IF MY FAMILY WILL LOOSE THEIR LIVES ON THE NEXT BUSY INTERSECTION. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM TAKING PLACE AL OVER THE NATION. NISSAN HAS NOT POSTED ANY BULLETINS OR RECALLS IN THIS MATTER BUT SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE NOW BEFORE THERE IS A CASUALTY ON THE ROAD. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM?
