| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2015 nissan altima 2015 sv in november 2, from queens auto mall in queens, ny. 3 weeks later the car would not go even if i pressed the gas pedal all the way down to the ground. The dealership fixed it and had me pay for the new spark plugs. Here i am 3 months later and i had to fix the tpms. The. Driving the car a few times long distance. This is what started happening: stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, i would push the gas pedal and nothing would happen for about 5 seconds then it would kick in and accelerate. I went to accelerate after a stop sign and the car wouldn't go pass 10 miles an hour with the pedal to the floor. The rpm was racing between 1. 5-3 rpm. This would stop once i pressed the brakes. It started making a racing noise with no gas power, then it would kick in again. I pulled over, shut off the car, and re-started. The car was "normal" again. I let it sit for three hours before driving home. And it started making the noise as if it was going to stall. The next day i took it to a mechanic and they told it was going to cost me $2,000 dollars. He also said that his shop has been fixing this issues on many nissan and that what was going on with nissan. Also advised me to take it to nissan and see what they say and do. I have an appointment, but looking up and reading carcomplaints. Com i see this issue is huge and nissan should do a recall. Not everyone has thousands of dollars to keep paying for the same issue month after month. |
