| Description of the problem | Over a period of about 2 years, i would have acceleration problems both while on the highway, hills or after coming to a complete stop. At first it was annoying and a few second long problem but it got progressively worse and more dangerous. I had at least 3-4 times while traveling on highway where i completely lost the ability to accelerate even to pull off to a safe location. It was like a stall happened. It has happened while turning into traffic to make simple turns as well as leaving traffic lights. In november, i replaced my transmission but i believe nissan is well aware of these problems and are putting consumers at great risk. Even after the replacement of my transmission (after hearing nissan extended the warranty to 120,000 miles) i still had problems with acceleration. Now 6 months later i have started to have what i consider dangerous effects. There is as much as a 5 second delay between hitting the accelerator and the engine engaging to meet the transmission. I had my children in the car today and both on the street and highway i am losing the ability to pick up speed even while on the highway. I won't allow my other family members to drive my car and plant otake it nissan this week. I do ask that the ntsb or the agency address these concerns with nissan. I know they are rampant with the cars with cvt transmissions. I believe i am in danger in this vehicle and i fully believe nissan is aware of it. |
