POWER TRAIN
IF I STAY IDLE TO LONG AND GO TO TAP THE GAS THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE IT SLOWLY GLIDES THEN IT TAKES OFF REALLY FAST! I NOTICED WHEN I'M DOING SHORT STOPS OR IDLING OR SITTING ON A HILL IT DOES THIS! IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE IT'S AIR IN THE TRANSMISSION THE WAY IT DOESN'T GO WHEN YOU TAP THE GAS! IT'S BEEN TIMES I'VE BEEN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE I WAS WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR STILL WOULDN'T MOVE! SO I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF WAIT ABOUT 20 SECONDS AND TURN IT BACK ON.

LAST SUMMER I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BUTTERFLY VALVE ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IT WAS A SATURDAY, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND THE ONLY PLACE THAT WAS OPEN AND THE CLOSEST WAS THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I TOOK IT IN THERE THEY FIXED IT, BUT THE REPAIRS WERE OVER 1 GRAND. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY LYING AROUND SO I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE TO ASK IF I CAN HAVE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THEY SAID BECAUSE I DON'T SERVICE MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAN NOT FINANCE ME AND HELP ME WITH IT. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS OUT OF MY WAY TO GET IT SERVICED. SECOND ISSUE STARTED RECENTLY AND THAT IS WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR THERE IS NOT VERY GOOD ACCELERATION AND ONCE I HIT 20 MPH I START TO HEAR A WHINING NOISE. I DID SOME DIGGING IN SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS AND THOSE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN TOLD ITS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. LAST WEEK I BARLEY WENT OVER 73,000 MILES ON MY ODOMETER. I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO REPLACE AN ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, NOR DO I REALLY CARE TO. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN AS LONG AS I LIVE. THERE COOPERATE CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS AS WELL AS THERE CVT TRANSMISSIONS!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SENSOR IS NOT SHOWING FUEL LEVEL PROPERLY MOST OF THE TIME WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY THE FUEL SHOWS FULL TANK OR CLOSE TO THE FULL TANK BUT ANY TIME YOUR CAR STOPS IN MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE YOU RAN OUT OF FUEL AND YOU DON'T KNOW THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL IN YOUR VEHICLE. IF THE CAR STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY THEN IT MAY CAUSE AN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR CRASH.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED THIS CAR FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE HER AND OUR THREE CHILDREN. SOMETHING WAS GOING ON MAKING THE CAR STALL WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AND SOMETIMES ACCELERATE. THE RPM WOULD GO ALL THE WAY UP EVEN WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NEWARK DELAWARE AND THEY KEPT IT FOR A WEEK. I BELIEVE THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPAIR SOMETHING ON THE TRANSMISSION. WHATEVER WAS WRONG THEY COVERED IT UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER A WEEK WE GOT THE CAR BACK AND MY WIFE DROVE TO NEW JERSEY TO VISIT FAMILY WITH THE KIDS ABOUT 45 MINUTES AWAY. WHILE COMING BACK ON THE DELAWARE MEMORIAL BRIDGE THE CAR RPM ROSE ALL THE WAY UP MAKING THE CAR ACCELERATE BEHIND ANOTHER CAR ALMOST RAMMING THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. SHAKEN FROM WHAT JUST HAPPENED SHE DROVE SLOW AND CAREFUL THE REST OF THE WAY HOME ABOUT 10 MINUTE DRIVE FROM THE BRIDGE. I TRIED TO CHECK IT OUT MYSELF BECAUSE WE JUST GOT IT BACK AFTER A WEEK SO IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANYMORE TROUBLE BUT THE CAR THEN WOULD NOT START. THE BATTERY DIED FROM TRYING TO START IT. AFTER ALL THAT WE DID A VOLUNTARY SURRENDER DUE TO THE CAR NOT BEING SAFE. SHE FELT IF SHE AND THE KIDS GOT BACK IN IT SHE WOULD JUST BE ASKING FOR SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN. IT ONLY HAD ABOUT 39000 MILES SO SHOULD NOT BE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT.

DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY, AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE, IT BUCKS WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS, MAKES CLICKING NOISES RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE AFTER IDLING AFTER LONG PERIODS OF USAGE. (THE FUEL DELIVERY IS MESSED UP). THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. YOU CAN BE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND GO TO ACCELERATE BUT HAVE YOUR PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THEN AT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN BUCK WHEN YOU GO TO PASS SOME ONE.
