| Description of the problem | My 2010 altima 2. 5s has poor acceleration after coming to a stop. This is very dangerous, especially when making left handed turns in front of on-coming traffic. I would press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and the car will not accelerate quickly, it's almost like a hesitation or bogg. This issue is worse when the a/c is on. Nissan has not issued a recall, but they really need to, because there are many other nissan altima owners with the cvt transmission that are experiencing the same issue. I also own a 95 altima and have never experienced an issue like this, quite frankly i am very disappointed and concerned with my 2010 altima purchase because of this poor acceleration issue. |
