I purchased this vehicle used in April 2018. After 50 days of use, the vehicle would shudder when accelerating at low speeds. This began inconsistently and then happened more often. At the same time another issue began. When I would begin accelerating from a stop, I would press my foot on the gas and the vehicle would not respond and then after a few seconds would jolt forward. The vehicle was taken in and they could not replicate the issue right away but apparently fixed something with the mass air flow sensor. The next day, while driving at highway speeds, it began to shudder more heavily. While trying to park, moving at slow speeds, the vehicle abruptly came to a hault and stopped moving. It felt like the engine was about to fall out of the car. All warning lights appeared. The car was restarted and one warning light remained. The only warning light visible on the dash was listed no where in my manual and the information on the dash said "no warnings". an internet search revealed "hybrid vehicle malfunction' was what the warning light meant. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and am awaiting to see if they can find out what this is.

Slammed on brakes (emergency stop) center lane of highway due to car in front being cut off. Large truck behind me so I tried to immediately accelerate to avoid being hit from behind. Pressed gas pedal to floor and nothing happened! totally quiet (electric still engaged) and I was a sitting duck! fortunately, truck able to swerve into left lane, but it could have been tragic. It took several seconds for me to move from stop and acceleration was as if I was casually pulling away from a stop sign! never so scared in my life. According to Nissan, this is a characteristic of the cvt in the hybrid and they insist there is no safety issue!!!!! service mgr at dealer validated my concern when he test drove it trying to replicate a panic stop as closely as he could and the small delay characteristic of hybrids got more and more exaggerated with more sudden stops. Service mgr said hands are tied and corporate is not saying anything.
