(in nyc) my mpg has drop significantly, i'm getting 10-13 max mpg. The oil, oil filter and engine air filter are less than a month old. The tires are filled to the correct pressure. No service lights have ever came on, many mechanics have seen the car and said they can't find anything wrong. I do a mixture of highway and city driving and drive averagely (not aggressive but not slow either). I even reset the computer…

The vehicle will not start after warm up/driving for a while and then turned off. It will continuously run if engine does not get turned off. In order to start the engine again, it has to cool down, then the cycle starts again. It only happens when hot. It always starts cold or cooled down. Took it to nissan dealer for diag and they said that is was the fuel injectors, so we replaced them on their advice - but that…

My call stalled when i was stationary, in drive, at an intersection. Since then whenever i shift into either drive or reverse the car stalls and shuts off. The check engine, check battery, and general warning light all come on when i experience this problem. I have seen other people on various online forums report this issue. My nissan altima 2013 has a little over 80,000 miles on it. I am the only owner of this car.

The transmission was working fine as we were running errands and all of a sudden the car would not go into gear. The car also began to shake and then stall. All this happened in minutes. The car was stuck in the middle of the street creating an unsafe position. We took the car to autozone after it would go into gear again and they pulled a diagnostic code of p0776. The code is transmission related. The car was…

I continued to press on the brake and the car continued to drive forward and i kept turning the…

While driving, the vehicle stalls when the accelerator is depressed and does not respond no matter how much the pedal is depressed. The accelerator must be depressed a second or third time for the engine and the car to respond. I have had several near miss accidents due to sluggish or nonresponsive acceleration. The sluggish and nonresponsive acceleration occurs without warning and can be on a flat or incline…

Cvt transmission failure. This is an event in which the automobile transmission and throttle simply stops working while the car is being driven. I experienced this event this past saturday on a trip into boston. It is quite terrifying to be driving along in the middle of traffic and have your car stop functioning with respect to having no power or gears such that you have no control or ability to make the car…
