I was driving down the highway and my vehicle all of a sudden started sputtering. The speed dropped quickly as a car almost rear ended me. Then it went back to normal so I continued driving and then it did it again and stopped completely. There’s no check engine light on or any other warnings. Had the vehicle towed to Firestone and they told me it is the transmission. They said I should call Nissan dealership because my model and year is known for this problem and should be a recall. So I call Nissan and they said yes there is some recalls for that year and model but my vin number isn’t on recall list. That doesn’t make since to me. Are they installing different transmissions in the same year and model?

The check engine light keeps coming on with a P0101 indication Mass or Volume Air Flow Curcuit Range/ Performance Problem. The filter was changes, the Mass Air Flow Sensor was changes, and the PCV valve was changed but the light keeps coming on. The vehicle also will not accelerate as fast and sometimes will not go over a certain speed. The vehicle sometimes startes to rolls backwards when in drive when idling. The vehicle also shakes when slowing down from a higher speed i.e. when you are on the freeway and then have to slow to lower speeds no matter how much distance you give. I have almost been rear ended and run backwards at the light because the vehicle goes backwards then goes forward. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR 2014 NISSIAN OWNERS.
