Description of the problem | Vehicle started showing sudden shudder/judder at low speed (up to 30 mph) in july, 2013. It happened four times. Nissan dealer was informed about it. First day of winter; around october 20 vehicle lost power and transmission slipped twice from stop to go and another time in low speed. Since then the problem of power loss and transmission slip occurred 9 time very randomly. There is no way to duplicate it. Dealer checked the vehicle 4 times so far and has not found any problem or code. Nissan consumer affairs have been informed. This has become a safety hazard because - when vehicle loses power during close/busy traffic situation in a city like pittsburgh, pa it creates chances of getting hit from behind. Already narrowly escaped from one incident like this. Vehicle currently has 12100 miles. So far power loss issue always occurred in cold days; up to 36f. Engine never shut off in any of the occurrences. |
