| Description of the problem | Pulled out onto a roadway with a 60 mph speed limit. This vehicle is fast and has quick throttle response, so knowing that i could make it, while a car was approaching, i pulled out and accelerated quickly. The vehicle did not have near the power that it normally did and immediately made a loud screeching sound and clicking as if metal was scraping adjacent metal. Luckily, i let off the accelerator and hit it again, and it operated fine. There was no accident and nobody was hurt. The problem has slowly persisted and gotten worse. That's what recalls are for and that is what research on this problem for this particular vehicle will tell you needs to happen. The recall needs to take place. Do people need to die first? Safety means avoiding injury. Research the problem here and do what you can to resolve it for the affected vehicles. I've seen much less severe recalls take place. I'm about to have to take my vehicle in to pay for this myself, because out of the thousands of complaints on this issue that i can probably find, there has been absolutely no resolution, and i am not sure if it may have caused any injuries to anybody else, but will be researching everything about it. I will present a portfolio of information on this problem so that it cannot be denied, if i must. I will do your jobs if you will not, although i'm sure you have just not had enough complaints, or something of similar nature, and it will take me a long time, a lot of reading and saving and printing info. At the same time i will be writing bad reviews every chance i get about nissan not acknowledging responsibility for the problem, which i already have several times. |
