| Description of the problem | I bought a nissan altima 2013. Back in february the car would start and would shut off when i put it on drive and reverse. This happen in the middle of the street. I took it to the dealership and left it there for a month and they still were not able to tell me what was wrong with the car. Even though a technician duplicated the problem the car computer would still say the car is fine . I took it to get a second opinion from a nissan master technician and they weren't able to tell me what was wrong with the car. After about a month the car started working again. I was told by a 3rd place i took the car that it might be a sensor issue and the car literally decides when's going to work and not and that this is an on going issue iwth the altima. A couple of days ago the car would took off with me at a red light when i just tap the gas. I was at a red light the light turn green i tp the gas the rpms jumped ad the accelarated in high speeds. Also the car would not go forward or backwards after i put it in reverse immidiately, it would stay idel for about 5 ten seconds than go. The nissan dealership has not been able to diagnose that anything is wrong with my car he computers keeps saying the cr is fine. I have told nissan headquaters that i feel unsafe when i'm driving the car. Looking online i see that this a on going defect with the altima 2013 that nissan refuses to address. I have called nissan and told them that this car is defective and im starting to feel its putting my life and someone s with this carelse in danger and there response was basically tough luck. Right now the car is cranking but not start . I feel like nissan did a poor job with this car and it should have been sold |
