As i was driving i noticed as i was giving my car gas. It was acting as if it didn't want to pull. It was idling very high and wouldn't go over 30mph. I began to panic because this is a new car. I'm like is it the transmission. I pulled over cut the car off and started it back up. The car began to drive back normal. It has done this many times before even while i had uber riders acting as if it doesn't want to pull.…

At the end of sept the problems got worse where the car would hardly drive.

The vehicle stalls and won't catch when it is put into gear. I was almost stuck in parking lot while trying to back into a spot. The car jumps/stutters and when it was put on cruise control, it would lose set speed and then catch up again. If i gave the car gas, it wouldn't go even with the pedal to the floor.

Transmission failed on interstate at approximately 70mph. I was told by the nissan dealership garage manager that they really don't know why they fail except that they think the transmission overheats due to undersized pump and mesh not allowing enough circulation. Everything was replaced at nissan's expense, however i have no confidence in the repair. When this happened there was not a single warning light or…
