About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
At random, little to no acceleration at initial take off and/or while driving in traffic on a highway or street even if pressing gas pedal to floor. Vehicle will start without pressing brake. Brake light remains on after car is turned off. I've had catalytic converter and brake work done to correct the problem to no avail. Also, I wanted to check speed control as a affected part but it wouldn't select.

Loss of power while in motion from a 35 mph zone and went down to 20 mph release gas pedal and regained power. I see the same issue reported other posts. Please investigate before the loss of life.

Multiple electrical issues after dealer service for 80,000 miles. The safety issue is intermittent acceleration issues when merging into traffic or starting from a full stop. Little to no acceleration in those situations. Other issues that came up at the same time include: A) intermittent brake lights staying on with vehicle parked and powered off and B) intermittent skid warning light illuminating for no reason.

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.

Break lights will stay on even if the car is parked. It will stay on while driving. When this happens I have to depress brake pedal twice. The other issue is loss of power. When accelerating from a complete stop, the car will not go when I push the gas. Even if the accelerator is fully depressed the car will not move. This also occurs while in motion. It has happened while trying to accelerate onto the highway and there was loss of power.

Sudden loss of acceleration when fuel level is low, particularly when starting a turn or starting to cross a street from a stop, if the vehicle does not accelerate then an accident may happen. The vehicle computer reports a problem with emissions yet replacing the fuel pump made it go away.

Vehicle was taken into shop because of shudder in transmission and hesitation from stop when applying accelerator. The Nissan dealer installed a new valve body in the transmission which seemed to stop the shudder until today when it has returned. The hesitation from stop problem was not fixed and I returned the Pathfinder a second time to fix this problem but since it did not throw a code and could not be duplicated it was not fixed. The hesitation problem is an itermittent problem but when it happens the vehicle does not move forward when the gas is first applied for a second or two. I have almost had two accident because of this problem when pulling into traffic and the car will not move when gas applied. The shudder problem as returned and can be felt at around 40mph.
