Description of the problem | Incident happen multiple times from july 20th 2013 up to september 2013 only in hot days with outside temperature around 85 degrees. All situations were very similar. I will describe just one. I was trying to merge to traffic from right to left. I moved slowly around 25 mph and i sow that i can merge to line so i accelerate lightly to around 30-32mph where rpm was around 1000-1500rpm. When i was changing lines car start shake like i'm going trough slow down strips, i remember speed because i got scared and i took look to dash if engine light is on and if engine is shutting down. I saw rpm still up and car started move normally after 1-2 sec. When i pressed accelerator. I thought that car will stop and i will get hit by car coming from rear. I had 2 years old daughter in car with me at that time. No so funny nissan. I visited dealer 2 times. Dealer tried to replicate issue but they did that at morning when is not so hot. They couldn't replicate it and they sent me home with nothing because nissan didn't released recall for my vin. |
