I was driving home from work and was changing lanes when all of the sudden the swerving road,two cars crashing, and check engine light came on. I couldn't accelerate and car lost power. I was in the lane next to the fast lane and cars started honking. I was able to pull over eventually. I waited 10 minutes and started the car and the same thing happened but this time I was stuck in between the HOV lanes and the fast lane. I've never been so terrified before and I don't feel safe driving that car ever again. I took my car to the Nissan dealer on 1/28/23 and they were able to reproduce the problem. I was told it almost left their technicion stranded on the freeway. As of 2/1/23 I still do not have my car and I don't know exactly what the problem is. Prior to this incident the check engine light came on and gave a code for the MAF sensor which I replaced.
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY APPROXIMATELY GOING 55MPH, THEN I WANTED TO BREAK SLIGHTLY, BUT I WAS UNABLE TOO, BECAUSE MY CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. IT DIDNT WANT TO STOP. LUCKILY THERE WASNT CARS NEXT ME. I MANAGED TO PULL MY EMERGENCY BREAK UP AND SLAM ON MY BREAKS AGAIN. CAR GOT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY COULDNT FIND AN ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED 10/21/22. AND IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN 10/29 EXCEPT I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY. SAME PROBLEM MY CAR KEPT ACCELERATING, ITS ALMOST AS IT WAS STUCK. I GOT MY CAR TOWED AGAIN TO DEALERSHIP. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO SEE WHAT THEY TELL ME. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME. I AM NOT A NEW DRIVER AND I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN 2019. IT HAPPEN TWICE WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY VEHICLE.
There was no "incident" but I bought a car from a dealership. The salesman didn't let me take it on the road, only around the parking lot ( so I didn't notice the problem). Since I had driven a similar car at another dealership on the road, I didn't think anything of it. (Dumb, I know). When I drove away, I immediately noticed that the speedometer wasn't working. I turned around at the next exit and headed back...less that 30 minutes. Me: "The speedometer isn't working!" Mgr"we have that part on order and will call you when it comes in." Me:"I told (the salesman) I was going out of town Tuesday (this was a Saturday) and I need a working speedometer." Mgr: "You can get out of a ticket that way. If you get pulled over, just tell the cop that your speedometer isn't working and that will get you out of a ticket." Me: "Where is my old car"? Mgr: "I don't know" Me : I want it back. I want my old car back! Mgr: "Once you sign the papers, we don't return cars." When I got back from out of town, I told the finance mgr what was said to me....He said, "did you get stopped?" Me: "no" FM: "Then, there's no problem" Me: "Sending me out without a speedometer is pretty important. Almost like sending me out without brakes" FM: "Oh, it's not that bad."
