We were driving on the interstate at about 70 mph and were unable to accelerate. Accelerator peddle all the way to the floor and the most we could go was 45 mph. Had the car towed to a nissan dealership and found out it was the shift select assembly that had broken/malfunctioned and the car had gone in to failure mode. There was not warning light at all and this could have been very dangerous on the interstate.…

It has always made a whining noise during acceleration, and the brakes have squeaked from day one. I have complained to nissan several times and am always been given lame excuses. Now that my warranty is up they have a solution to my problems. New…

Then, yesterday, the same thing happened to me. I nearly drove my car through the front of the daycare where i was dropping off my son. I am now aware of how extra-cautious i have to be when driving my car so this…
