THE VEHICLE AHEAD DETECTION INDICATOR AND AEB SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT UP EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. WITHIN 1/2 MILE TO 1 MILE OF DRIVING BOTH THESE INDICATORS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. I'M NOWHERE NEAR ANY OBSTRUCTIONS, OTHER VEHICLES, OR ANYTHING ELSE AND THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. THE DRIVING CONDITIONS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GREAT - NO RAIN, NO SNOW, SUNNY AND DRY ROADS. THE CAR IS CLEAN. THE SAD PART IS I BOUGHT THIS FROM A NISSAN DEALER WHO CLAIMED THEY DID A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED INSPECTION, WHICH OBVIOUSLY THEY DID NOT. *TR

ENGINE
CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT BEGUN SPUTTERING AND SHAKING AS I ACCELERATED. I DROVE BACK HOME, ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND OPENED THE HOOD. CAR WAS ON AND PARKED FOR THE VISUAL INSPECTION. MY PARTNER PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO SEE IF I COULD SEE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE MOTOR SHOOK WHEN IT WAS PUT IN REVERSE. IMMEDIATELY SOMETHING NEAR THE FUEL LINES STARTED TO EMIT SMOKE. IT LOOKED LIKE ALUMINUM FOIL. THE CAR HAD A HALF TANK OF GAS AND GAUGES SEEMED NORMAL. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE TO GET MY TOOLS. WHEN I CAME OUT, THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES COMING FROM THE MOTOR. 9-1-1 WAS CALLED AND FIREFIGHTERS PUT OUT THE FIRE IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THE FIRE SPREAD RAPIDLY AND THE CAR WAS DESTROYED WHEN THE FIRE WAS FINALLY EXTINGUISHED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING FROM AZ TO CA ON THE HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO SPEED UP WHILE PUSHING THE PEDAL. IT HAPPENED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES ON 2 DIFFERENT DAYS.THE FIRST TWO TIMES I COULDN'T GET ABOVE 60 HOWEVER ON ONE OCCASION, IT DROPPED DOWN TO 3-5 MILES PER HOUR AND THE PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH SEMI TRUCKS HAVING TO PASS ME ON THE LEFT. I WAS TERRIFIED, HAD NO CELL SERVICE AND HAD TO DRIVE ON THE SHOULDER WITH MY HAZARDS ON UNTIL THE SHOULDER DISAPPEARED. EVENTUALLY IT RETURNED TO NORMAL, BUT IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. I SEE NOW THAT NISSAN HAS HAD A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SHAME ON YOU FOR NOT RECALLING THE TRANSMISSION. *TR
