While driving, either with the cruise control or without, the engine rpms will quickly bounce between high rpms and low rpms though the speed of the vehicle does not change at all. The engine is revving faster, but the transmission does not appear to be engaged. This happens frequently.

Was driving on the interstate using cruise control at 70mph. The rpms suddenly increased to around 6,000. After that happened, the service engine light came on and I had trouble accelerating and the rpms were never able to get over 3,000, even with the gas pedal pressed all the way. It was difficult to get any acceleration and the car would make a whining noise whenever pressing on the gas.

Car loses acceleration when driving. I noticed it does this when the temperature outside gets hot. I took my car into nissan last year (when it was still under warranty) and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it besides it needing brakes. Now that the weather is getting hotter (palm springs, ca 120 degrees) and my car is out of warranty (75,000 miles) it's doing it again!! This is a huge safety issue. I've almost got rear ended twice because of this! Since I know it's been happening I've been trying to use cruise control as much as possible on the freeway (going about 65-70) because I'm afraid it's going to do it again! Last weekend I had to pull off the freeway 3 times because my car would not go over 40 MPH!! I read online there are a ton of complaints about this same issue and nissan won't do anything to fix this. This is a huge safety issue and needs to be fixed with a recall! This has happened about 20 times in the past year!
