I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE THAT HAD 1000MI. ON IT & I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, I GOT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE BUT THE ROGUE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE & A VEHICLE WAS ON MY BUMPER BEFORE I KNEW IT! IT DID GET UP TO 3,000RPM'S, NO LOUD NOISE. IT WAS QUITE SCARY. ABOUT A WK. LATER IT DID A SIMILAR THING BUT LESS NOTICEABLE & I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP & THE SVC. PERSON DID A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT & IT SHOWED NOTHING, SO HE TOLD ME THAT THE NEXT TIME IT DID IT TO DRIVE IT TO A DEALERSHIP BUT IF I FELT UNSAFE TO CALL THEM & THEY WOULD PICK ME UP. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT FOR A LONG DISTANCE & I AM AFRAID TO DO SO. THE FEAR IS THAT I AM AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SCARY SITUATION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FEEDER ROAD WHEN I HAD TO SUDDENLY BRAKE DUE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE ATTEMPTING AN UNSAFE LANE CHANGE. MY VEHICLE SLOWED, AND THE ABS ACTIVATED. LESS THAN A SECOND LATER, THE BRAKES DEACTIVATED ALL TOGETHER. I WAS STILL PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL AS IF THERE WERE NO BRAKES ALL TOGETHER. I IMMEDIATELY DISENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKES SIMPLY TO TEST THE BRAKES, BUT THE VEHICLE JERKED A FEW TIMES AND ROLLED AGAIN. I TRIED AGAIN, AND THE BRAKES ENGAGED NORMALLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE INCIDENT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. I INFORMED THEM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE AND ASKED IF I COULD SPEAK WITH THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I CAN NO LONGER TRUST MY VEHICLE TO KEEP ME SAFE ON THE ROAD AND HAVE SINCE ONLY USED IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. *TR
