Car hesitates and rpms revs up acts like it's going to stall and die while driving on highway 55-80mph. Engine makes acceleration noises for no reason while driving. When you sit for 10 min and then go to drive car will not move at times. When you stop at stop signs or stop lights then try to drive again your foot will be all the way down on gas pedal car rolls forward at maybe 5mph almost got hit multiple times. Light turns red I'm in middle of street and car wont drive. This has gone on mainly in warmer weather after running ac and sitting in car then trying to drive. When get out of car notice a slight burning smell and antifreeze smell. Good 50 times in past year I've had this car. No one can find anything wrong with the car to fix issue. At stop lights have to turn car off and turn back on to get car to move when it starts acting up out of fear someone will end up hitting me because my car hesitates to go. Drives fine as long as I go from point a to B. if I start car let ac run to cool down then sit in car while running like in drive thru for 10 min then continue to drive will have these issues. Havent tried with running heat instead of ac.

While driving my vehicle on local highways during afternoon rush hours. My vehicle starts to strain to drive. It seems like the transmission has trouble with acceleration. If at a complete stop it strains to go forward. I have to pull over turn vehicle off set for about 20 mins. And it drives okay. This has happened twice this week.. on 6-25-19 pulled into a service station to have it looked at. Technician informed me that with my make and model that there is a problem with the transmission and this is a signed that the transmission is getting ready to go out. I asked if he could check the fluid level and he explained that there isn't a dip stick to check the transmission fluid.

While driving, the car would decrease in speed and acted if it wanted to stall.I took the car in for an appointment at the dealership and was told it was reading a code with the transmission and as scheduled to come in 3 days L as later when the part was in. After being at the dealership almost half a day, they tell me the transmission needed to be rebuilt. The dealership attempted to get me to drive it home (over an hour away( and bring it back another day. I was not going to accept this and requested a car to drive, which they did do so. However, when enterprise rental picked me up, they immediately knew it was transmission issues and proceeded to tell me that they are only good for 2 years.

Nov 2017, Altima had 18,173 miles, not one year old and the check engine light came on while drive it. Took it to dealer in san diego, diagnosis was a P0101 code (mass air flow sensor/orange PCV valve). Then at 20,598 miles, I saw my life flash before my eyes. I was driving on interstate 5 in southern California doing 72 mph with a truck behind me and all of a sudden the Altima will not accelerate! meanwhile the RPM's are jumping up and down. Again the dealer said it was code P0101, replaced the PCV valve again. Next at 20,833 miles the check engine light came back on. Dealer informed me there was carbon build up in the throttle body and found code P0101 as well. At that point the dealer replaced the throttle body with a new one. At 24,095, the dealer stated both shocks were leaking. Both shocks were removed and replaced. At 25,076 miles the back driver door would not open from the inside. The dealer replaced the acuator. At the same encounter, the back driver window did not roll down more than half way. Found vapor barrier and cable damaged. Also, during this time poor acceleration was noticed and they replaced the brake light switch and deleted stop lamp relay. Finally on this visit new heat shields as well. This car has spent 25 days of its life at a Nissan dealer. This car is scary and defective.

First time, car started at 50,000 miles. Drove the car for 4200 miles, regular maintenance, had occasional drag in acceleration and RPM needle fluctuation, called in and said it was pretty normal due to the heat. Randomly car jutters and loses acceleration, check engine light comes on at 54,000 miles on in town highway road. Car will no longer will accelerate before 5-6 rpms consistently for about 5 seconds then will kick and accelerate. Code pulled read trnsmission fluid system eas the problem. Took car in next day after fighting with pocatello Nissan Kia because they refused to look at it for a week. Had to have entire transmission replaced. Drove the car for another 1500 miles and same thing but I caught the drag and needle fluctuation soon enough that the car didn't get nearly as bad on the regular in town roads. Took it in a second time and transmission was replaced again. Going on 56600 miles and noticing a drag and fluctuation again on in town roads but Nissan wont look at it til the issue can be replicated again.

At random times while driving vehicle will shut off causing sudden decrease in speed, then restart on it's own within 10-15 seconds. When car shuts off all dash lights turn off and there's no throttle response. The last time it shut off I was going around a bend and caused car to collide with guard rail.

I was stopped at a red light when I took my foot off of the brake and pressed the accelerator my car stalled out. It took 30 seconds of pressing on the gas for it to begin to move.

- Temple Hills, MD, USA

While already in motion the vehicle accelerated extremely slowly once again as I have reported on this website before, but this time it was more dangerous because as I was merging onto the freeway, I was pressing on the accelerator and when the RPM got to 2000, it stopped and the vehicle was accelerating extremely slow. There was a 18 wheel truck approaching me fast from behind, but I could not get any speed. Luckily he swerved on to the next lane and passed me. The RPM meter stopped at 2000 and it took 22 seconds to get from 60 mph to 75mph as the video shows. It happened several more times during this drive and I was able to record each instance panning from the gauge display to the accelerator showing I am pressing it all the way down and the vehicle doesn't respond. I took the vehicle to Nissan and when I showed the video to the service representative, he immediately tried to blame the issue on my floor mats. He said that it appears the floor mats were preventing the accelerator from going down thus causing the vehicle to not gain speed. However I explained to him that that is not the case as the floor mat was not touching the accelerator at all. You can clearly see my foot pressing it down all the way without any interference from the mat. In addition, if the floor mat was preventing the accelerator from being pushed all the way down as he claims, how is it possible for the vehicle to continue to gain speed, all be it extremely slow? that right there proves his theory wrong because if the accelerator was indeed stopped by the mat, then the mph as well as the RPM would maintain at the same rate. I also reminded him that this happened on a local street when I was only going 35 mph and the accelerator would have been no where near the floor board. Nissan advised me they were able to duplicate the issue and are contacting Nissan tech support for direction

I have been having chronic issues with engine on my 2016 Nissan Altima. Initially (11/2016), the car would "jump/skip" when I would try to accelerator and even feeling like it was going to cut off on me. When I called I was informed it was due to defect and it was on recall. The issues appeared to resolve until 11/2017 I started experiencing the same issue but worse and was not able to accelerate while I was driving to work and back home. This occurred on Florida turnkpike and local highways. Cars were hooking at me because I was not able to proceed when light turned green, even though I was flooring the car pedal. When I took the car to the shop, I was informed it was my transmission and they had to rebuild it. Afterwards, I continue to have problems with the car cutting off on me and acceleration issues. I brought it back, and I was told it was the crank sensor. They replaced it but know the engine continue to sound like it is working overtime to perform and make a constant high pitch sound. I am bring it back to them a 3rd time to investigate.

- Orlando, FL, USA

My transmission stopped working while I was driving first in the city and it continued to when I went on the highway to the point I had no power and the when I pressed the gas nothing would happen. I had to have the computer in the transmission replaced and the car still idles as if it will cut off at any moment. That was at 40K and I just had to replace the O2 sensor at 60K
