SEVERAL TIMES MY 2011 NISSAN JUKE SL AWD HAS LOST SIGNIFICANT POWER. EVERY TIME IT HAPPENED SPEED DROPPED TO APPROX. 20MPH. THESE WERE ALSO ON INTERSTATE DRIVES WHERE QUICK DECELERATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT NISSAN DID RECALL JUKES WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON, THE INTERNET, ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND THOSE PEOPLE WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I WOULD APPRECIATE CONSIDERATION OF INVESTIGATION INTO POSSIBLE EXTENSION OF THE RECALL. THANK YOU.
