| Description of the problem | I bought this vehicle with 73 miles on it, it now has 10,700. My main complaint is regarding the hybrid/gas transition when driving. My secondary complaint is how the vehicle drives while in reverse. The first complaint, i think, makes this vehicle unsafe in a lot of driving situations. For example, to leave my neighborhood i have to make a left turn onto a road with a blind corner. When i am ready to go, i put my foot on the accelerator and sometimes the vehicle reacts as i expect and makes the turn no problem. However, about 75% of the time, i hit the gas and the car idles forward into the opposing lane and about 1-1. 5 seconds later the engine catches up and accelerates as expected. I've come close to being tboned in just this intersection at least 4 times because of that delay. Additionally, while driving in stop and go traffic the car will occasionally leap ahead no matter if i'm pressing the gas or the brake. The interface between gas and hybrid on this vehicle is horrible, and not like the one i test drove before this one was delivered. I feel this vehicle is so unsafe that i don't let my 16 year old drive it because the driver always has to be on their toes for these issues. I've taken the vehicle to advantage nissan in bremerton, wa twice over these issues and they tell me it's operating within normal range and this is normal. Normal or not, its unsafe. I can provide many more examples of this behavior from the vehicle, just contact me! The secondary issue has to do with how the vehicle acts while in reverse. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but when reversing at any speed the ride is very jerky, like a person reversing in a manual transmission that doesn't have the hang of the clutch yet. It's worse when backing down my steep driveway, possibly due to the hill assist feature! Please feel free to reach out for additional information. |
