Description of the problem	I was at an intersection preparing to make a left turn. When there was an opening in oncoming traffic i pushed the gas pedal to proceed forward and as i entered the intersection the vehicle suddenly dropped the rpm's and acted as if in "limp mode". I pressed the accelerator to the floor to try to get out of the intersection but the vehicle did not respond and only "crawled" through the intersection. Because i could not get out of the intersection due to this issue oncoming traffic had to slam on brakes and almost hit me. Once i exited the intersection i looked for a place to pull over and stopped about a 500 yards from the intersection. I then noticed the vdc light was on. I pressed the vdc button and it lite up another indicator on the dash showing off. I pressed it again and the light went out however the other vdc light on the dash stayed illuminated. I then turned the engine off and waited a couple minutes and when i started the vehicle the other vdc light was off and the vehicle then drove normal. I have since noticed a sound like the transmission spinning wheni press the accelerator. I was scared to drive the vehicle so i went home. I immediately took the vehicle to the nissan dealer and had the service department diagnose the problem but was told there were no "fault codes" and they did not know why my new car when into "limp mode" and the vdc light came on. This car is new and now i am scared to drive it! The service department at the dealership where i purchased the vehicle said if it happens again bring it back. I have found numerous problems on other internet car forums regarding other nissan altima's with this same issue. There is even another one on this site! This is a major safety defect and needs to be corrected asap. I could have been severely injured by oncoming traffic because the vehicle would not respond to the accelerator no matter what i did.
