From a stand still, when accelerating to enter into traffic. Depressing the accelerator, the truck only moves into traffic but then the truck fails to accelerate. There is a flat spot. No acceleration at times. I have to "pedal" the accelerator to try to get the truck to move. Meanwhile I am stuck with traffic rapidly approaching because I cannot get out of the way. This problem happens intermittently and always at the worst time like when trying to enter onto a highway. I have had near collisions twice due to this problem. Nissan dealer has found nothing. They cannot reproduce the problem when I take it to them.

Every time I need to fill my truck up, I never let it get below a quarter of a tank, fuel will come shooting back out as if it is full, but it is not. My truck was off, and the key not in the ignition. This has happened every since my getting this truck, 1/19/20190 to current. I have to fuel slow in order to get gas a full tank, like there is a kink in the system.

Purchased vehicle used, with 28,000 miles. Gas spurts out of filler neck 90% of the time when using automatic nozzle as tank nears 3/4 full; must finish filling at very slow rate manually. 10% of the time gas spurts out filler neck as soon as filling begins, unless a one minute wait is observed between stopping and beginning to fill tank.
