    Intermittent problem the dealer could not duplicate since 25k miles. The car revs and loses speed. Sometimes i press the gas pedal and it will not go for 2-5 secomds. Recently going up a hill the car rolled backwards while i was pressing the gas pedal. Turning the car off can "cure" the symptom until it randomly has the same problem. It is difficult driving in traffic, or deciding to make left turns because i can…

    Car will suddenly lose ability to accelerate during hot or cold weather. When this happens, the car will hesitate to move for about 5 seconds then will suddenly begin to accelerate at a very low speed. If i pull over and turn the car off for a few minutes, it behaves normally again. I have almost been involved in several accidents this winter and summer when this has happened in heavy traffic. Please help.

    I keep reading the same exact story as mine, yet no recalls or help for this problem on so many nissan altimas. Sitting still at a redlight, light turns green, your foot is on accelerator but nothing happens for five to ten seconds. Finally the engine begins to rev. Extremely scary when turning in front of traffic. Can also happen when going down the road and all of a sudden the tachometer races, engine races, and…
