Dangerous performance on 2010 nissan altima. After driving over 2 hours at highway speed, i had to stop for traffic. I tried to accelerate following the stop and the car would not accelerate. I had to depress the accelerator almost to the floor and then it moved gradually and then quickly picked up speed. This happened several times on the trip after extended driving time. *tr

I own a 2010 nissan altima sl and have had problems with acceleration following long highway trips. When i exit the freeway and come to a stop, i can push the gas pedal down to the floor and experience very little speed. I have brought the vehicle to the dealership twice and both times they state that they can't "recreate the problem". The problem is that they won't drive it long enough to be able to recreate the…

The problem occurred a few times as i parked in a parking garage. Upon returning to…

I purchased my 2010 nissan altima new at the dealership in april 2010. Around 7k miles is when i first noticed the problem. When i am accelerating, between 20-35 mph my car makes a loud nose and hits between 4000-5000 rpms, but it feels like it is losing power and is very slow to speed up. Once i hit over 50mph it gets better. I have taken it to 2 different nissan dealerships and they say they can't find anything…

There was a problem with acceleration - with acceleration pedal fully depressed engine was revving up to ~2,200 rpm and car barely accelerated like it was slippage in the transmission. Switching to sport or manual modes was not effective. There is "high fluid temperature protection mode" described in manual, but there is no warning…

They offered for me to bring it in when i am getting off the interstate, but i had to stop before i…
