2016 Nissan Maxima SR, problem started at 22000 miles, car runs fine, then when hitting a bump or railroad tracks, and sometime while accelerating at a light or from a stop the car goes into limp mode, max speed is apx 6 mph just enough to get it off road, at times it stalls in the intersection or when you come to a stop. Traction control light and engine light come on until you shut car down and restart. engine light remains on solid but can be driven in most cases, at times it turns over then stalls, if you wait long enough it usually resets snd is drivable. Has several DTC codes when checked on of them is P1735 and a few others. It-??s dangerous because you lose the ability to get properly through an intersection or to get by traffic on highway or side street, I have put my emergency lights on several times when this has happened. After reviewing TSB-??s Technical Service Bullatans it seems I am not alone with this issue.

On April 26, 2019 when making a left turn the car did not accelerate as I entered into traffic and instead lost power and would go no more than 9 mph as I applied maximum pressure to the gas pedal. At the same time the car became hard to steer and I was able to pull off onto the side of the road. I immediately turned off the car and restarted it. The car started but without power to accelerate and I shut down the vehicle again. I waited and restarted a few more times and it eventually restarted. I took my car to the Nissan dealership for service and they performed a recall. The same problem happened again on May 9, 2019 and again on May 17, 2019. The vehicle completely loses the ability to accelerate while and has so little power that the max speed is less then 10mph. The vehicle is always in motion happens.

I find it ridiculous that a brand new car would be recalled B4 I even get 5,000 miles especially in a way that is dangerous and could cause fire to my car, safety should have been guaranteed B4 this car was sold, I wanted a different model that I was told was on sales hold, if they knew it was a problem they shouldn't have sold us the car!
