THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. 2014 MANUFACTURE TRANSMISSION FOR NISSAN SENTRA ARE DEFECTED.

I AM TERRIFIED. GOING UP A HILL MY CAR LOSES POWER AND I START COASTING AROUND 40MPH AND STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC THE HIGHEST I CAN GO IS 60MPH. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN INVOLVED IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT AND OFTEN HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO SQUEEZES MYSELF INTO THE HE TRUCK LANE ALTHOUGH THEY STILL ARE ABLE TO OVER TAKE ME. MY CAR HAS 50,000 MILES AND IS WELL KEPT BUT IT STRUGGLES SO MUCH GOING UPHILL I CAN FEEL THE WHIRRING AND IT'S LIKE MY TRANSMISSION IS STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WHILE EVERYONE PASSES ME AND TRIES TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ME AS A RESULT OF MY SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS AND I FEEL UNSAFE AND FEEL I AM A DANGER TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HEARD THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING MORE THAT CAN BE DONE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. YOU CAN EVEN BORROW MY CAR IF YOU'D LIKE TO TEST THIS OUT. I ALSO FEEL IT MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE OVERHEATING.
