I was driving on freeway with cruise control on and noticed a couple of 'slips' in the transmission that made the car slow down and 'jerk'. Thinking it might have been a bit of bad gas, I kept driving for about 20 minutes. At one point the car seemed to slip into neutral and the tachometer revved up to about 8000 RPM even though the car was still in drive. I pulled over on the off-ramp and then I lost all ability to move using any gear. I did not see any warning lights. The car is at a shop now to diagnose. Had this happened while on the freeway, who knows what might have happened.

Nissan rogue 2015 - sunroof/moonroof shattered suddenly. We were driving on a freeway with cruise control set at 65mph; the weather was sunny, approx. Low 80's. Nothing was irregular about the feel of the car, we were not driving under an overpass, other vehicles on the road were not ultra-close to us, and we didn't drive over any objects, then suddenly, we heard a loud bang out of nowhere which harshly startled us and got our hearts pounding. After realizing the car was still operating normally (ie: no flat tire, no steam from the engine, no warning lights etc.) when we stopped to look over the car for any sign of damage, we finally discovered cracked and lifted glass on the exterior of the panoramic moonroof. Looking closer we found numerous more long cracks so we opened the interior sunshade to look up at the glass from the inside of the car, and were astonished to discover the entire rear portion of the sunroof was shattered into little tempered pieces. We were lucky I didn't swerve and potentially cause an accident after the thunderous bang and/or that the glass didn't dangerously cascade on top of us while driving. This is a major motor vehicle safety issue and defect. After researching what could have caused a sunroof to randomly shatter, I'm appalled to learn that this has been a recurring issue on nissan vehicles for years! My local nissan dealership/service center said they are not responsible to fix this obvious concern?! We pay extra to have a car with a sun/moonroof, only to discover after the fact, that they are susceptible to exploding suddenly and randomly and shattering into pieces which I'm now informed is my responsibility to fix?

Was driving for about an hour and while going 65 on the highway with the cruise control on the RPM rose from 2 to 4 but the car was not picking up speed or accelerating. I disengaged cruise control and the car was not responding to me pressing the gas, while being able to coast to the exit I had to go up a small hill and was a struggle. Rpm not going over 2 and just sluggish trying to climb. I was able to safely get off the highway and to a gas station check fluids and all fluids were full. I drove back home and the only issues I had were going up hills were the car wouldn't accelerate over 2.5 to 3 rpms.

Driving on interstate at approx.70 MPH, and cruise control kicked off by itself at least 3 times. Then all of a sudden I lost power, it was not like a out of gas loss, it just slowed down. I had the gas pedal floored to maintain speed as I was traveling at 70mph in heavy traffic on interstate. I moved to the outside lane to avoid any chance of an accident and took the next exit to turn around and go back home. When I got onto the entrance ramp back to the interstate, it took me about 1/2 mile at least to get up to speed again. Since I got back home everything appears normal but I am afraid to travel any distance in case I should loose power again I have had the vehicle put on the computer monitor and they say nothing is showing as wrong. During this exam I was told that if the engine warning light never came on the computer check would not show anything. At no time during the power outage did the engine warning light or any warning device show up.
