    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…

    I was driving the vehicle immediately had loss of power and would not accelerate. No warnings or codes appeared and after pulling over for 2 minutes the vehicle allowed acceleration again. This has happened 3 times, and the nissan car dealership could resolve the issue

    2016 nissan altima fuel gauge is not registering correctly. I fill up the tank but the dashboard gauge shows as half full even though the mileage to empty is updating i think correctly. Each time i fill up tank the level does not go to the full mark. I have contacted the dealer because i just bought the car a month ago. Waiting for them to contact me back to schedule a service appointment.

    I have been having chronic issues with engine on my 2016 nissan altima. Initially (11/2016), the car would "jump/skip" when i would try to accelerator and even feeling like it was going to cut off on me. When i called i was informed it was due to defect and it was on recall. The issues appeared to resolve until 11/2017 i started experiencing the same issue but worse and was not able to accelerate while i was driving…

    I was driving on florida turnpike south and out of no where i hear a big boom noise. My car started over heating and i noticed my engine light has come onto the dashboard. Once i pulled over on side of turnpike, i notice sticking out of my front bumper a big piece of metal.
