Description of the problem | My nissan altima 2015 will not accelerate on a highway. It only has 30k on it. I took it to nissan 2 times for this problem and they told me that nothing was wrong. July 21, 2019, it was towed again while i was on the long trip. Overall, it happened 10 times. Car falls on its face. You are not able to accelerate. I hads to tow it 2 times already. The other times i had to wait 30 min or so. When on highway you go 65, it drops to 40, then 20; it sputters and then you have to stop. My nissan altima was moving when the acceleration gave up no matter how strong you push the pedal. The engine light comes on too. I was in logandale nevada. Turned the car off. Then waited. After 15 min, i was able to start the car and drive it barely at 20 min per hour on highway 15 coming from las vegas to moapa paiute travel plaza gas station. This is so dangerous because other card=s do not kjnow that you have acceleration failure and they drive behind you at 60-70 miles per hour and it can be very scary because you have to come to a complete stop as the acceleration does not work and car goers eventually to 0 miles per hour no matter how hard you push the acceleration pedal. Car is still under warranty and nissan needs to address the issue. |
