| Description of the problem | I have been having chronic issues with engine on my 2016 nissan altima. Initially (11/2016), the car would "jump/skip" when i would try to accelerator and even feeling like it was going to cut off on me. When i called i was informed it was due to defect and it was on recall. The issues appeared to resolve until 11/2017 i started experiencing the same issue but worse and was not able to accelerate while i was driving to work and back home. This occurred on florida turnkpike and local highways. Cars were hooking at me because i was not able to proceed when light turned green, even though i was flooring the car pedal. When i took the car to the shop, i was informed it was my transmission and they had to rebuild it. Afterwards, i continue to have problems with the car cutting off on me and acceleration issues. I brought it back, and i was told it was the crank sensor. They replaced it but know the engine continue to sound like it is working overtime to perform and make a constant high pitch sound. I am bring it back to them a 3rd time to investigate. |
