| Description of the problem | A few weeks ago my nissan altima 2015 would not accelerate when i came to a stop and pressed on the gas. I had to almost floor it for it to even go and then it would accelerate slowly. I got it looked at and it drove fine after i turned the car off and it was fine for a few weeks. Then a few days ago it did the exact same thing again, every stop i made it would not accelerate until i pressed on the gas hard then it slowly started moving, only this time the rpm went crazy and it started shutting down and wouldn't go at all, it completely stalled. I thought my car was not able to drive it so called the tow truck. Once the tow truck got it to the dealership it started and worked fine again. They ran a diagnostic test and said it may be internal transmission which will cost 1500$ if that is all it is if they go in and it doesn't correct the problem then i will need a whole new transmission. They said my warranty should cover it but may not cover all of it. My car is only 3 years old it should not need a new transmission. I hope this does not happen again. When i felt the car doing the same thing i took the back roads instead of the freeway. Imagine if my car stalled in middle of freeway or if someone was behind me and hit me because it just stopped working. No engine light and no warning of any kind came on. |
