Description of the problem	I bought my 1st 2013 nissan on august 18, 2023 and it had approx. 3,000 miles on it at the time of purchase. After a few days, i noticed a sputtering in the car when de-accelerating and also when accelerating. After 10 days it had got so bad, i took the car back to the dealer. Luckily, it happened very badly when they drove the car. I spoke with the store manager and he agreed to give me a new car with less than 100 miles on it. Low and behold. The new car started sputtering very little (hardly noticeable) after about 2,000 miles. Trying to give the car the benefit of the doubt, i didn't take it back. Fast forward,,,,,,,the car now has 14,000 miles and is sputtering more and more. I also noticed that the car sometimes smells as if it is running a little hot when i get out of the car. I am taking the car in this weekend and hopefully the sputtering will be recreated. If not, i will continue to take the car back when it sputters and make certain to get documentation each time i take it in. This is terrible and i don't want to be stuck with a car with issues such as this. I am 64 years of age and this was supposed to be my retirement car..... A new car without car problems, as i don't need to be trying to pay for major car repairs on a fixed income!!!
