| Description of the problem | When i start my car and shift the gear from n (neutral) to d (drive), and then press the accelerator, the engine stops. My car stopped in the city signal and i was shocked. I turned on the emergency indicator immediately and somehow managed to accelerate and move the car to a safe place. Also when driving i am seeing fluctuation in acceleration. When at rest in signals, my car engine makes vibrations. I have driven my car only for 53000 miles but i am out of warranty by 4 months. I have clean carfax history. I have good driving record. I have done all the recommended services. Still i get this problem. The multi inspection check they do during every service is superficial at best. Its free of charge for a reason. I am not sure why nissan doesn't admit this issue and fix this free of charge for customers. This has been a recurring issue with nissan altima 2013 and i am surprised there is no recall issued by nissan. |
