| Description of the problem | I own a 2010 nissan altima sl and have had problems with acceleration following long highway trips. When i exit the freeway and come to a stop, i can push the gas pedal down to the floor and experience very little speed. I have brought the vehicle to the dealership twice and both times they state that they can't "recreate the problem". The problem is that they won't drive it long enough to be able to recreate the problem. I have no issues with driving short or moderate distances, only long highway trips. I have once again returned the vehicle to the dealership and i refuse to pick it up until they recreate the problem. This is a major safety factor because we were almost involved in a collision last week while on vacation. |
