Description of the problem | 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 wont come down until you pull over and turn the car off and immediately turn it back on. This resets something and everything is okay then. Turning it back on resets the problem so it's obviously a simple issue but it is a very dangerous problem. My whole family has come close on several occasions of being in a serious wreck due to this persistent problem. I'm shocked that nissan hasn't had a recall on this. I read on the internet that there is a recommendation that the valve body be replaced, but this is not in effect for my particular vin number. You asked below when this happened. It has happened ever since i had the vehicle for the past two years. Sporadically, maybe once every two to three weeks. |
