Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)My vehicle has experienced recurring failures where it will suddenly stop accelerating while driving, placing me in a dangerous situation. The engine remains on, but the car will only coast forward or backward with no throttle response. This has happened multiple times, and I have had to pull over for safety. Restarting the car occasionally works temporarily, but the issue returns within minutes. I understand that Nissan has previously extended warranty coverage for CVT issues in similar models
WHEN I TURN MY HEAT UP , MY CAR SMELLS OF GASOLINE.. I HAVE SPOKE WITH ONES I KNOW WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, ARE WE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE THE PROBLEM.. PLEASE SPEAK ON THIS...THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS..THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY SINCE I OWNED THIS CAR. I WAS TOLD ITS MY IMAGINATION,
I FIND IT RIDICULOUS THAT A BRAND NEW CAR WOULD BE RECALLED B4 I EVEN GET 5,000 MILES ESPECIALLY IN A WAY THAT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE FIRE TO MY CAR, SAFETY SHOULD HAVE BEEN GUARANTEED B4 THIS CAR WAS SOLD, I WANTED A DIFFERENT MODEL THAT I WAS TOLD WAS ON SALES HOLD, IF THEY KNEW IT WAS A PROBLEM THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE SOLD US THE CAR!
