During driving the vehicle jerks as if it's going to cut off. It has actually cut off a few times while in traffic. Nissan extended the warranty of some of the same vehicle, but not all...even though it's a continuous issue. They should not be able to sale cars that they know have these problems, leaving the consumer responsible for expensive repairs. My vehicle has 71k miles and i upkeep with all maintenance. *tr

I parked the car on a slight incline, placed the shifter in park and stepped on the emergency brake. I exited the vehicle, left the driver door open. I opened the left rear door, removed my dog and closed the door. I looked up just in time as i was struck by the open front door of my car, knocked to the ground and it rolled over my leg. It rolled for approximately 30 feet and struck a tree.

Dealership found right front axle coming out of transmission. Retainer bracket loose. R&r axle and bracket. Could have been a very serious problem or accident and we are lucky this problem was found before something happened.. Is there recall on axles?. I'm not sure this car is safe to drive

Transmission fails on the highway this is the second time for a brand new car. I had my child in the car this time. The vehicle suddenly loses power . The first time it occurred was @ 3000 miles . The second time is at 13000 miles. The biggest risk is being rear ended by the vehicle behind due to the sudden loss of power and nissan knows their cvt for altima and rogue 2014 is an issue, no move from manufacturer to…

I bought the car last year and it has only been about 13 months. About three months ago, i noticed that there was a kind of jerk when i would start off a stop light and accelerate. First thinking it was not a great deal, i kept going however i noticed it that it was becoming more constant. One day about to reverse out of a parking lot, i put the car in reverse, and the car turned off. There was no response at all…
