Description of the problem | I just purchased a used 2015 nissan pathfinder with 24,000 miles three months ago. In the last few weeks i have been experiencing problems accelerating after coming to a complete stop and while driving at normal speeds. I would start to accelerate after a complete stop and the pathfinder would only move at a slightly higher than idle speed until i put my foot on the brake and then once again on the accelerator pedal. Other times i will be driving at a speed above 20 miles per hour and the pathfinder will no longer accelerate past the current speed no matter how hard i press the accelerator until i tap the brake and then the accelerator. I also noticed that some times when one of these events happens, the slip light indicator will come on and stay on until the pathfinder is turned off and back on. This issue can happen several times in one day or not at all for several days. I was almost t-boned today while crossing a street when i had no power. This is a huge safety issue. I took it to the dealer where i bought it and they found nothing wrong. |
