| Description of the problem | After driving at highway speeds for 25/30 minutes and stopping the car won't accelerate with the gas pedal pushed all the way for 10 to 15 seconds. On 6/20/2019 i stopped at a light, the car wouldn't accelerate and then started jerking in a manner that seemed as if the car was in the wrong gear. After this happened the check engine light came on. The code reads as a faulty solenoid in the transmission. After taking it to a nissan dealer i was told i need a new transmission. This problem is similar to a recall that was issued in 2017 with the gas pedal and transmission acting messed up. If i stop the car and turn it off then immediately back on the problem disappears. Thus is a safety hazard because i can't always restart the car in a safe location but if i don't i could cause an accident when my car won't accelerate properly. Because of the similarities to the last recall and the fact that the problem is not consistent i believe this is a problem with the computer. |
