Around 20 mph when braking to a stop the rpms do not go down and the car continues to accelerate. I have to brake hard or put the car into neutral to stop. This is an intermittent event- once every 5- 6 months.

When accelerating from 20mph to 40mph the rpms increase to 3rpm and the transmission hesitates to change the gear. It seems to be an issue with the tcm (transmission control module).

They should recall these cars and fix the issue at their…

Stopping and turning off the vehicle seems to reset the process and you can drive normally for the next 15 - 30 minutes until the problem resurfaces. Looking online indicates this a common issue for nissan vehicles manufactured…

I pressed on the gas, it went all the way to the ground, the car didn't accelerate at all. I released the gas and pressed again...still the same thing. This is in the middle of very fast moving traffic. I had to put my hazards on, as the car continued to slow down... Then suddenly as i was releasing my…

Last week i rented a nissan altima from hertz. This was the first time that i had driven this car. There is a design problem with the location of the brake pedal and spacing between the accelerator. I wear a size 10 shoe and the edge of my shoe kept getting caught on the edge of the brake pedal when i moved my foot to apply the brake. I narrowly escaped several accidents as a result of this. There is no space…
