| Description of the problem | I have a 2014 nissan altima that revs up while i;m driving and then stops. I turn it off and start it again. It does this constantly. It's very dangerous because i'm driving and all of a sudden, i hear a revving up sound, the car starts to hesitate,, it slows down and then comes to a complete stop. It doesn;t give me a chance to pull off the road. I have to immediately put on my hazard lights. It stops without warning. Once i hear the revving up sound, within a few seconds she hesitates, slows down and come to a complete stop. Very, very dangerous. The car hesitates when making turns also. Car does not accelerate if you stop at a light like she suppose to. Let me explain. When i'm at a red light and the light turns green, i put my foot on the gas and the car does not accelerate, she hesitates, go slowly, then kicks in and allows you to proceed. I'm very afraid to drive it. I have heard others and on the news say peoples experience with their nissan altima shutting down just like mine. For me its shutting down everywhere. It's happened on the highway, street, always when in motion, during turns, after stopping at a red light and its time to proceed. I've almost gotten hit by other cars many times when she suddenly stalls. Something is wrong with this vehicle. I don't have video of incident because it hasn't had an accident yet, but i'm sure an accident can happen at any day. I'm nervous every time i drive it. It's the mercies of god that i haven't had an accident. Please note i was almost in an accident that would have badly injured or killed me when i was making a left turn on hwy 78. The car stalled while making a left turn. The suv almost hit me as i was making my left turn and the car stalled and the suv stopped just as it was about to hit me. I was shaken up so badly, i had to park my car and calm my nerves. This shouldn't be happening. It's a dangerous car. |
