When starting from a dead stop, pressing down on the accelerator peddle no forward car acceleration, no increase in rpm. After a short period of time ( 2-3) seconds fast increase in rpm and fast forward acceleration. This is very unsafe when trying to merge from a dead stop and expecting forward motion and there is none. This has been a nissan problem since 2008 and no fix or test when taken to dealer. This is a…

At very low speed (as in searching for a parking space) the car will accelerate, without warning, and then fall back to an idle. My current 2015 altima is at the body shop now because of an accident (due to this unannounced accelerlation) where my wife ran through a wall at riteaid drugs while attempting to park. The vehicle was in the parking space and almost completely stopped when it accelerated. My wife was not…

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…

I was driving my 2015 altima on a highway and the car suddenly stopped as in a stall with cars behind me swerving off the highway to avoid hitting me. The car had on oil and the oil warning light did not come on until my car stopped, then it said warning low oil pressure. I had just had an oil change at port city nissan, portsmouth, nh, and the service person apparently did not reattach the oil filter correctly,…
