Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)VEHICLE INFREQUENTLY SURGES WHEN INITIALLY PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. ALSO IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND PULLING UP BEHIND VEHICLES AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN TRYING TO PARK IN A TIGHT SPOT. SURGE WHEN TRYING TO EASE FORWARD CAUSED VEHICLE TO RUN ONTO STONE WALL. NOT AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING AN PERSONAL INJURY BUT POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. UNRELIABLE ACCELERATION IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE. A SECOND OCCASION WAS IN TRAFFIC AFTER MERGING OFF A FREEWAY. SEVERAL CARS WERE WAITING AT STOP SIGN. AS EACH PULLED OUT WE ALL EASED UP. WHEN I TRIED TO EASE UP IT SURGED ON ME AND ALMOST PUT ME INTO REAR OF CAR IN FRONT OF ME.
TWO DANGEROUS ISSUES. FIRST IS WHEN I AM WAITING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVE TO GIVE IT A FAST START. THE CAR TOTALLY FAILS AS I DO THIS. I MOVE ABOUT 5 FEET AND THE CAR DOES NOTHING, LEAVING ME HANGING OUT WITH TRAFFIC APPROACHING. EVENTUALLY, AFTER PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL, IT RESPONDS. THE SECOND ISSUE HAPPENED RECENTLY. THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE MORE THAN 30 MPH. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A TYPICAL RURAL ROAD AND THE CAR JUST GAVE UP, ALLOWING ME TO GO 30 MPH AT THE MOST. EVENTUALLY COOPERATED AFTER I STOPPED. BOTH PROBLEMS ARE VERY DANGEROUS.
TWO TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE ROADS. MY GAS GAUGE AND TRIP MONITOR INDICATED I HAD ABOUT 60 MILES UNTIL EMPTY THEN AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES IT SAID ABOUT 30 MILES TO EMPTY AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT CAR STARTED SPUTTERING AND LOSING POWER AND I HAD TO MAKE EMERGENCY MOVES TO KEEP FROM GETTING HIT. BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO PULL UNTO THE SHOULDER AND DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO A GAS STATION TO FILL THE TANK WHICH TOOK ONLY SLIGHTLY OVER 15 GALLONS AND THE TANK HOLDS 19 GALLONS. I HAVE FOUND THE IDENTICAL COMPLAINT ON SEVERAL WEB SITES AND THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY HELP FROM NISSAN OR EVEN AN ADMITTANCE THAT THE PROBLEM EXITS. I JUST RETURNED FROM MY DEALER IN NAPLES, FL. AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME WAS THAT NO ERROR CODES WERE SHOWING AND I COULD NOT EXPECT THE GAUGE TO BE ACCURATE AT ALL TIMES SINCE IT IS CONSTANTLY RECALCULATING AND CHANGING DISTANCE TO EMPTY. THAT REALLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS APPARENTLY NOT OUT OF GAS AND IN THE PAST I HAVE PUT OVER 18 GALLONS IN THE TANK SO I AM CERTAIN IT WAS NOT OUT OF GAS. I BELIEVE THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PICKUP TUBE, SENSORS OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH. HAVING YOUR VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALL IN FRONT OF A SEMI TRUCK IS NO LAUGHING MATTER AND WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED WITHOUT A MAJOR ACCIDENT. ON ONE OF THE FORUMS THE OWNER WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM IF THEY WOULD NOT LET THEIR TANK GET BELOW 1/4 FULL. NOT MUCH HELP! *TR
THE CAR IS INTERMITTENTLY STALLING WHEN I GET TO ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT CHANGE GEARS, OTHER TIMES IT STALLS OUT AND TURNS OFF COMPLETELY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS DONE SO WHEN I PULLED OUT IN TRAFFIC AND THREE TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. TWICE THE CAR WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR AND WHEN I TRIED TO SPEED UP THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT GO OVER THIS SPEED. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. AGAIN, IT HAPPENED GOING ABOUT 5MPH WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE THEN TURNED OFF.
IN NOVEMBER 2015, THE CAR FUEL LIGHT CAME ON DURING A TRIP. BEFORE I COULD GET TO A GAS STATION, THE CAR SUDDENLY BECAME SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MILES PER HOUR. THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF INDICATING IT STILL HAD GAS. I WAS ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF FROM AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON THE SHOULDER AND GET TO A STATION AND REFILL THE CAR. I TOPPED IT OFF AT 16 GALLONS (CAR HOLDS 19). THE CAR RAN FINE AFTER IT WAS FULL. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION GIVEN THAT TRAFFIC WAS MOVING AT 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR DROPPED TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. I CALLED NISSAN USA AND MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS AN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON OR THEY COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IN MARCH 2016, THE CAR FUEL LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON WHILE ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD. WHILE THE CAR REGISTERED 35 MILES LEFT UNTIL EMPTY, THE CAR AGAIN BECAME SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 20 MPH. I DROVE TO A GAS STATION AND TOPPED IT OFF AT 15.5 GALLONS. THIS TIME, LIKE THE LAST, THE CAR WORKED NORMALLY WHEN IT WAS FULL. IN APRIL 2016, THE DEALER AGREED TO REPLACE THE TWO FUEL LEVEL SENSORS. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE BUT ALSO HAVE FILLED UP BEFORE OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. EACH TIME I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO GET SLIGHTLY OVER 15 GALLONS IN THE TANK. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL ON AUTOMOTIVE WEBSITES. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY FOR THOSE WHO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER ON A FREEWAY. CAR OWNERS SHOULD BE WARNED TO FILL UP IMMEDIATELY IF THE FUEL LIKE COMES ON.
