Our Nissan Leaf experiences dangerous behavior while driving on the freeway. After approximately 23 miles of driving, the car suddenly displays a slippery road sign (The day is dry, no rain) and significantly reduces speed on its own. Attempting to accelerate has no effect. To ensure safety, we activate the hazard lights and pull the car to the side. Only after turning off the car and restarting it does the issue resolve temporarily. This situation poses an extreme risk, as any nearby vehicle could collide with ours during this sudden slowdown. Safety Concerns: Given the severity of this issue, we are genuinely frightened to drive the car daily. Unfortunately, we have limited alternatives for commuting to work. Our safety and the safety of others on the road are at stake. Our Nissan Leaf experiences dangerous behavior while driving on the freeway.
