| Description of the problem | When driving in hot weather or a long distance (60+miles) on streets and/or highway, the vehicle will not accelerate after coming to a complete stop. Stopping in bumper to bumper traffic, stop sign, stop light or even after having to do an emergency brake. The vehicle will not accelerate until 5-10 seconds have passed with the acceleration pedal pressed. This issue has caused numerous close rear end accidents just to myself. A normal day of driving turns into a guessing game if i will be rear ended due to this transmission issue. Many 2013+ nissan owners have this issue and nissan of america refuses to recall their transmissions. After the vehicle finally starts accelerating, rather hard due to having to hold the acceleration pedal to max for it to move, it loses power when it shifts to the next gear. Rpm falls under the optimal rpm for the given speed and feels like you go from 1st gear to 4th gear. |
