Check engine light came on twice within 3 months of using this car. And it was one of the severe types of illness the car has, if not fixed i could've been stuck on a remote area with no phone reception, which where i live by the way. The car had a slow acceleration, when i stopped on a stop light/sign. Had that fixed on december right before christmas week, but engine light came on again after 2 weeks of driving…

I have a 2016 nissan altima with 85,000 miles that is currently experiencing some issues. I've found multiple people online that are having the same problem. The vehicle at times when pushing down the accelerator will not respond then suddenly take off like it's in 3rd gear. This has caused me too get stuck in intersections with no power and nearly causing accidents. Nissan is saying there is no issue. How can this…

On friday, august 9, 2019 of last week when i stopped at a crosswalk, on a city street, to allow a pedestrian to cross, without any forewarning the car completely turned off. I had to restart it and it did so with no problem, but then i noticed that the car felt very…

When i am stopped (at a stop sign, traffic light, etc.) the car hesitates to accelerate when i press the gas. It sometimes takes 5 to 7 seconds before the car will begin to accelerate. This happens randomly, and there is no warning. There have been instances when the rpms rev up extremely high and the car feels like it is struggling to maintain speed. I have taken it to the nissan dealership, and since they can't…
