“When I drive the 2017 Nissan Rogue the acceleration is very slow and no responsive. It's dangerous as I cannot even maintain speed of normal speed limits. I have had fuel injection service and oil change but it made no difference. There are times you could floor the pedal but there is incredible hesitation and knocks.”
