“I have a 2011 Nissan Rogue and as I was driving down the interstate with my daughter I lost all power to my transmission and was almost hit from the back by a semi. I have had nothing but issues with my transmission loosing power and being stranded with my 5 year old. Nissan needs to take accountability for this and get this taken care of.”

Nissan has replaced the alternator and the serpentine belt and it still happens. I have taken the car back more than 8 times and they will not fix it!! Please help!
