THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IN AN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN SPEED, BUT IT FAILED TO FUNCTION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH A HUM SAFETY DEVICE THAT NOTIFIED THE DRIVER WHEN THE SPEED EXCEEDED 65 MPH, WHICH CAPTURED THE SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT A SIXTEEN WHEELER WAS BEHIND HER WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED AND HONKED AT HER DUE TO ALMOST BEING REAR ENDED. THE CONTACT CALLED BEDFORD NISSAN (18115 ROCKSIDE RD, BEDFORD, OH 44146) AND WAS INFORMED THAT SHE COULD DROP OFF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNAWARE AS TO WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DIAGNOSED AND THERE WERE NO LOANERS AVAILABLE FOR THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S HOME. A MONTH BEFORE THE FAILURE, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AVERAGING 80 MPH. I WAS NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL. AFTER 4 HOURS OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL FURTHER TO ACCELERATE, YET IT HAD NO EFFECT. THE VEHICLE SPEED DROPPED TO 60 MPH. I PUT ON HAZARDS. I SHIFTED THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFT TO MANUAL AND ATTEMPTED TO DOWNSHIFT. THE GEAR INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD SHOWED 7 (TOP GEAR), AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO DOWNSHIFT, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT. THE '7' GEAR INDICATOR BEGAN TO FLASH. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DECELERATE TO 50 MPH. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A MATTER OF 10 SECONDS. I IMMEDIATELY MADE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. DURING THIS TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER FLASHED, NOR DID ANY OTHER INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS WELL BELOW THE HALFWAY POINT. I PARKED, AND RAISED THE HOOD TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. THE FLUIDS WERE ALL AT RECOMMENDED LEVELS. AFTER 5 MINUTES, I BEGAN TO DRIVE AGAIN ON THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE SLOWLY ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 50 MPH. I PULLED OFF TO THE NEXT EXIT AND DROVE TO A GAS STATION. I DOUBLE CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND USED THE OWNERS MANUAL TO HELP IDENTIFY ANY DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHTS THAT MAY SIGNIFY THAT SOMETHING IS MALFUNCTIONING. NOTHING SHOWED. I KEPT THE CAR OFF FOR OVER 20 MINUTES. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND IT RAN NORMALLY WITHOUT PROBLEMS. THERE HAS BEEN 4 OTHER TIMES I CAN RECALL WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER BACK IN 2016 REPORTING THIS ISSUE, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. I AM CURRENTLY SITTING AT A NISSAN DEALER 300 MILES FROM HOME AS I AM ON A TRIP AND THEY STILL CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT. THIS ALL HAPPENED ON A 70MPH HIGHWAY AS MY 11 YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME, AND HAD CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS SWERVING TO AVOID HITTING US. I HAVE A 16 YR OLD SON WHO DRIVES MY CAR, AND I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERN FOR HIS SAFETY.
