I DIDN'T NOTICE A CAR IN MY BLIND SPOT ON MY RIGHT, WHEN I DID NOTICE THE CAR I YANKED MY WHEEL TO MY LEFT. I YANKED IT SO HARD THAT MY VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL. IT GOT HIT ON ALL 4 SIDES, WITH THE WORST OF THE DAMAGE BEING ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE. I RECEIVED A CARELESS DRIVING TICKET. TICKET NUMBER AB5MP1E GIVEN TO ME BY A BROWARD COUNTY SHERIFF OFFICER.

IN MARCH 2019 MY VEHICLE HAD 54,000 MILES. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT & WHEN I HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR JERKED FORWARD AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, LEAVING ME SIT IN TRAFFIC. IT EVENTUALLY MOVED. I TOOK IT TO JONES JUNCTION NISSAN AND THEY "COULD NOT HAVE AN ERROR CODE" FOR THE PROBLEM, MADE ME BUY A CARB KIT TO FIX IT. TWO MONTHS LATER, IN MAY 2019, WITH 58,000 MILES ON MY CAR, I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. IT WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN I HIT THE GAS AND I HAD TO DRIFT FOR 2 MILES TO AN ADVANCE AUTO PARTS. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN, BUT WOULD HESITATE ON OCCASION, PARTICULARLY WHEN STOPPED. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY COULD NOT FIND AN "ERROR CODE" SO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH WHEN THE MECHANIC DROVE IT, HE ALSO FELT THE HESITATION. NISSAN HAD THE DEALERSHIP "RE-PROGRAM" THE TRANSMISSION AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. ONE MONTH LATER I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND LET THE MECHANIC KNOW IF WAS STILL HESITATING A LITTLE BIT WHEN I WOULD BEING TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. YESTERDAY, AUGUST 26, WITH 62,000 MILES ON MY CAR, IT STARTED HESITATING AND JERKING ON THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS DRIVING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL OVER, STOP THE CAR, RESTART IT, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. IT DID THE SAME THING ON THE RIDE HOME, JERKING EVERY TIME I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS, AND NOT ACCELERATING AT STOP LIGHTS AND IN TRAFFIC. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO JONES JUNCTION NISSAN 4 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE. TO DATE, THEY HAVE NOT REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION - WHICH IS A CVT TRANSMISSION - AND AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. IT HAS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS FIXING! IT IS GETTING RIDICULOUS THAT I HAVE TO TAKE IT IN THERE SO OFTEN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NISSAN WILL NOT RESOLVE IT.

MY 2016 ALTIMA BEGAN TO STUDDER AND JERK WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND LOOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN. TOOK THE CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SHOPS ONE STATED I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION $4500 AND THE OTHER WANTS TO CHARGE $987 IN ORDER TO TAKE APART THE TRANS TO FIND THE EXACT PART AND REPAIR THAT, CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS FOR YEARS 2003-2010 WHICH IS DISGUSTING SINCE MY CAR IS ONLY 3YRS OLD GETTING THE P0841 TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR SWITCH A/B CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE. NISSAN STATED I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE AND THEY WILL TRY AND NEGOTIATE SOMETHING TO LOWER THE COST OF REPAIR DEALERSHIPS WANT TO CHARGER ANYWHERE FOR $99-$150 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I AM ALREADY OUT OF MONEY BECAUSE I DRIVE FULL-TIME FOR A LIVING AND ONLY HAVE ONE CAR. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT NISSAN WOULD EXTEND A WARRANTY ON AN OLDER CAR BUT NOT ONE 3 YRS OLD FOR A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE FULL WELL AWARE OF.

ENGINE
I JUST PURCHASED A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM HERTZ CAR SALES IN APRIL 2019. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY, AND NOW I HAVE A NEW HEADACHE. ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019 OF LAST WEEK WHEN I STOPPED AT A CROSSWALK, ON A CITY STREET, TO ALLOW A PEDESTRIAN TO CROSS, WITHOUT ANY FOREWARNING THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. I HAD TO RESTART IT AND IT DID SO WITH NO PROBLEM, BUT THEN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR FELT VERY HESITANT TO DRIVE. AS I WAS DRIVING IT FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS GOING TO STOP AT ANY MINUTE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I WOULD BRAKE, SLOW DOWN, OR COMPLETELY STOP.I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR A FEW TIMES DURING MY COMMUTE. ALSO, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW DAYS NOW SO I HAD 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT MY CAR. THE FIRST ONE SAID THAT IT MAY BE THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR, BUT HE WAS NOT 100% CERTAIN. THE SECOND SHOP I WENT TO SAID IT WAS THE VTC SOLENOID,AND THE THIRD PLACE THAT I CHECKED GAVE ME AN ACTUAL ERROR # OF P0011 INTAKE VALVE TIMING, VALVE CONTROL.

WHEN CAR IS COLD IT WILL RUN NORMAL. WHEN THE CAR HEATS UP THE CAR WILL NOT TAKE OFF. WHEN DRIVING ITS LIKE YOU STOMP ON THE BRAKE THEN START AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR TO AUTO ZONE AND HAD THEM READ THE CODES THERE WERE TWO TRANSMITION CODES. SO WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER SHIP AND THERE WERE A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT CODES. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A OXYGEN SENSOR AND A NEW TRANSMITION. ALMOST 8 THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 88000 MILES. WOW IS ALL I AM SAYING. OUT OF POCKET FOR A NEWER NISSAN AND THEN DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED. VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THANK YOU NISSAN.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN I AM STOPPED (AT A STOP SIGN, TRAFFIC LIGHT, ETC.) THE CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESS THE GAS. IT SOMETIMES TAKES 5 TO 7 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY, AND THERE IS NO WARNING. THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES WHEN THE RPMS REV UP EXTREMELY HIGH AND THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN SPEED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND SINCE THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE, AND NOTHING SHOWS UP WHEN THEY RUN DIAGNOSTICS, THEY HAVE STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW AND CURRENTLY IT HAS 46,000 MILES, AND I CURRENTLY DON'T FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING IT. THIS HAS BEEN RANDOMLY HAPPENING FOR MONTHS.
