| Description of the problem | I purchased my nissan in august of 2018. It only had a little over 23k miles. On 12/22/2018 i took my vehicle to baron nissan where i purchased it and advised that the vehicle would not accel when speed was below 20 miles per hour. If i attempted to slow down and then begin to accel again the vehicle would not move. It just rolls as i press the gas pedal many times. Then all of a sudden the vehicle would begin to accel. The dealer advised the stop lamp switch needed to be replaced and it was covered under warranty. I left with the vehicle and then two days later i began to have the same issue again. It is random and you never can tell when it's going to happen. This is very dangerous when attempting to get on a highway or making a left turn and the car doesn't accelerate. Car went back to baron nissan on 12/29/2018. The vehicle was checked, driven personally by service manager and i was told they could not find an error code stating what the problem could be. Now i have reviewed this site and see 3 other owners are having the same problem. Now i have recorded my car slip light being on more than on one occasion, my brake lights stay on even when the vehicle is off and i begin to feel the same problem with the vehicle not accelerating. Im trying to teach my son how to drive and car would not accel as he was making a left turn. This problem is a very serious safety issue and nissan needs to get a perminant fix immediately. At this time my vehicle has only 29k miles and i will be reporting problem to nissan corporate |
