| Description of the problem | I have an intermittent problem when i'm driving where all of a sudden i can't accelerate. I'll have the pedal to the floor but nothing absolutely nothing happening. The gas pedal is fully depressed and yet the car slows down the way it would if you took your foot off the gas. This has happened 5 times over the past month. Bought this car new 2 years ago. I should not be having a problem like this. I've been to 2 dealerships and they both tell me they aren't getting a code so they can't see anything wrong. One of the nissan mechanics road tested it with me and experienced the problem but i'm still being told that there is nothing wrong. I suspect something is wrong with the cvt. I'm terrified to drive it because i don't know when it will happen. This is very dangerous. It's happened at all speeds - 5 mph in a parking lot, 30 mph on the street, 45-60 mph on the highway. Most recently it happened on the highway at 60 mph. The rpm went way up but the car would not accelerate and i couldn't get it to go above 60 mph. |
