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.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Altima. While driving 45-55 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to respond. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal for approximately 25 seconds with no response. Suddenly, the vehicle lunged forward. The vehicle was taken to mountain view Nissan (2100 South market street, chattanooga, tn 37408, (423) 756-1500), but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.

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

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

2016 Nissan Altima, cruise control on, speed set at 65 to 69 while cruising with crash avoidance set to one bar speed will suddenly drop to 62 to 65. No cars no where near front of vehicle or on road way in front of vehicle, road way empty with no vehicles insight. Have to step on accelerator to bring vehicle back up to speed. Took car in to Nissan, mechanic said his Altima does same thing and that this was normal operation of cruise control. This causes other drivers behind my vehicle to become enraged as I'm holding up traffic usually pass me sometimes cutting me off for holding up traffic. This has been happening all the time when using cruise control since 03/30/2016 to present.
