Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)AFTER COMING TO A STOP (OR NEAR STOP) FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MY 2014 NISSAN CUBE DOES NOT RESPOND TO DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. I WOULD PRESS THE GAS TO THE FLOOR AND IT BARELY MOVED. IT WAS EXTREMELY SLOW, LIKE THE ENGINE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE IDLE. AFTER 5-20 SECONDS IT WOULD FINALLY ACCELERATE. A COUPLE OF TIMES I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A LIMITED ACCESS RURAL HIGHWAY. THE LIGHT AHEAD HAD TURNED RED AND I DECELERATED TO AN ALMOST STOP BEFORE THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN. OF COURSE, I IMMEDIATELY LET OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR DIDN'T RESPOND AND THE TRAFFIC FROM BEHIND WAS CLOSING AT NEAR HIGHWAY SPEED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE OFF OF THE ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER AS THE OVERTAKING TRAFFIC BARRELLED PAST ME. ONE PARTICULARLY SCARY TIME I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE WITH GUARD RAIL ON THE LEFT AS WE WERE APPROACHING A BRIDGE; THE NO RESPONSE EVENT REPEATED ITSELF, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE ROADWAY TO THE LEFT. I KEPT THE PEDAL DOWN AND PRAYED NO ONE WOULD HIT ME. KARMA WAS WATCHING OVER ME AS THE CARS COMING FROM BEHIND REALIZED JUST IN TIME THAT I WAS BARELY MOVING AND SWERVED TO MISS ME. A COUPLE OF THE CARS NARROWLY MISSED HITTING ME; THERE WAS A LOT OF SQUEALING TIRES AND BLARING HORNS. LUCKILY FOR ME, I WAS WEARING DARK-COLORED UNDERWEAR'.. IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AS THE CAR ACCUMULATES MILEAGE. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN, SO NOW I TRY TO BE IN THE RIGHT LANE FOR UPCOMING STOPS, BUT SOMETIMES YOU ARE CAUGHT OFF GUARD FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGE. THIS IS VERY SCARY. CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED.
VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE YET RPM'S WOULD RISE. *TR
