I was driving my daughter home from pre-k and had been in the car for 10 miles without a problem. I was stopped at a stop light at a very busy four -way intersection. The light turned green and the car would not move. I pushed the accelerator and the car didn't move. I was shocked. It was perfectly fine one minute and did not move the next minute. The car acted as if it were in neutral and it wouldn't go. After…

I was driving on the highway this morning and stopped at the light to make the left turn (about 5 minutes into my drive). Once the light turned green, i stepped on the gas but the car would not move. I had to turn the car off and turn it back on. Pushing on the gas, the car would not accelerate to the more than 40 mph. I turned the car around to go home (about 1 mile away) as i didn't feel it was safe to drive and…

This happens when the vehicle is stationary and / or in motion. And no engine or anything con=mes to tell you what is wrong. Mechanics can notfix it, because nothing shows on the diagnostic machine. Sometime when press the gas pedal, the engine does nothing. As if the engine is not even on. After repeatedly pressing the gas pedal the engine will finally respond as it should. It happens frequently.

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…

My 2015 altima is experiencing a sporadic delay when accelerating from a stop. It won't rev or do anything for a couple of seconds no matter how far down the pedal is. Then all of a sudden it'll go. There is no check engine light on. I took it to pep boys store to see what the problem was. The tech staff experience the same issue i was when he drove my car. He place the diagnostic tool into my car and came up with a…

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.

Every once in a while no matter how far put my foot down on the pedal it will not accelerate. This is extreamly dangerous as it has happened when crossing intersection in very busy traffic situations. I would say i probably would have been hit at least 5 times in this situation, but the drivers coming the other way saw i was having. A problem and slowed down so they would not hit me.

Nissan seems to have defective ac components in their 2015 altima vehicles. The below link shows additional individuals that have experienced the exact same issue with their 2015 altima. The compressor does not always engage, which causes the vehicle to blow out hot air. However, in some cases the compressor clutch will engage and blow out cool air, but it is very inconsistent.…

When temperatures are 15 degrees, or lower the engine makes a loud rumbling and knocking noise when started up. The colder it is the louder and longer it last. Generally it takes 5-10+ minutes before it quiets down. Second issue is; regardless of temperature, when accelerating on a grade it also makes a rumbling noise. The car has 57,000 on it and is very good condition otherwise
