| Description of the problem | 2015 nissan pathfinder with 43,000 miles for the last 6 months vehicle has giving us problems accelerating after coming to a complete stop and while driving at normal speeds. I would start to accelerate after a complete stop and the pathfinder would only move at a slightly higher than idle speed until i put my foot on the brake and then once again on the accelerator pedal. Other times i will be driving at a speed above 20 miles per hour and the pathfinder will no longer accelerate past the current speed no matter how hard i press the accelerator until i tap the brake and then the accelerator. I also noticed that some times when one of these events happens, the slip light indicator will come on and stay on until the pathfinder is turned off and back on. This issue can happens randomly. This vehicle is used to transport my kids to school & almost got into a couple of accidents due to vehicle not accelerating fast enough. Wife will not drive vehicle due to safety concerns now. |
