VEHICLE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF SPEED. I'VE HAD IT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 15MPH ON THE STREET AS WELL AS WHEN I'VE BEEN GOING 60+MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. BASED OFF OF OTHER FINDINGS AND LAWSUITS, I'VE BEGAN TO SUSPECT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, AND THEY'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER. I'VE GOTTEN MY WARRANTY EXTENDED BY THEM, BUT THAT'S IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THERE IS HESITATION WHEN I ACCELERATE, IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT TO GET UP TO SPEED (WHICH ISN'T GREAT WHEN YOU'RE ON THE FREE WAY). WHEN I PUSH ON THE BREAK AND THEN TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK IT FEELS LIKE MY CAR IS STILL BREAKING. WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT MY CAR SHAKES.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FUEL DOESN'T PUMP CORRECTLY AS IT SHOULD. THE FUSE BURNT OUT. THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING RANDOMLY ACTIVATES FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING. IT ALSO DOESN'T ACTIVATE AT ALL. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR LIFTS UPWARD LIKE A WHEELIE FROM A STOP LIGHT. THERE WAS SMOKING AND BURNING SMELL FROM UNDER THE HOOD.

SUSPENSION
CRACKED COIL SPRING WAS REPLACED IN 2016 PER RECALL. WHILE DRIVING ON 10/12/2020, SUSPENSION ISSUES OCCURRED AGAIN MAKING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE AND BARELY AVOIDING SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND INJURY. THERE WAS A LOUD CRACK FROM UNDER THE CAR AND THE VEHICLE BECAME UNSTABLE. I GOT TO A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER AND HAD IT TOWED.

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE GOING UP A BRIDGE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THESE VEHICLES WITH THE TRANSMISSION TYPE. IT IS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF THIS TRANSMISSION TYPE. SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALLS.

THE GEAR/SHIFT SELECTOR WON'T ALWAYS GO INTO PARK, DRIVE OR REVERSE CORRECTLY. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN PARK, IT WILL SHOW ON THE SHIFT SELECTOR AND THE DASHBOARD BUT IT'S HARD TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE KEY WILL GET STUCK. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN DRIVE, IT WILL SHOW ON THE SHIFT SELECTOR AND THE DASHBOARD BUT IT WON'T IMMEDIATELY MOVE WHEN THE FOOT IS PUT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE SHIFT SELECTOR HAS TO CONTINUOUSLY BE PLAYED AROUND UNTIL IT WORKS BUT IT ONLY WORKS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ENGINEERING FLAW ON NISSAN'S BEHALF. WATER COLLECTS INTO THE VEHICLES CABIN AND UNDERCARRIAGE AND AFFECTED THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS SO MUCH THAT IT AFFECTED THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND ABS LIGHT TO COME ON. I LOST BRAKING POWER AND COULD OF HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MY WHOLE ELECTRICAL HARNESS IS NON EXISTENT AT THIS POINT. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE AT THIS POINT. THEIR HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NISSAN NEEDS A LIFETIME RECALL ON THIS OR NEEDS TO REFUND OUR MONEY BACK. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN HOPES TO GET SOME RECONCILIATION, BUT THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
