Ongoing and significant acceleration problems; most notable when attempting to accelerate from a stopped position to 40-45 mph. The rpms will rev between 5-6 (but still struggle). Once the car hits around 40mph there are less problems. Occasionally feel that the car is stalling out at higher speeds (ie on highway). Problems are intermittent, most notable when car is cold. Reported to dealership, brought in for check. They could not identify any related 'computer codes' - feel I am being ignored despite major safety issue.

Wind noise from A-pillar at highway speeds with heavy head wind or cross wind that sounds as if the car is howling or honking above 55 mph

After purchasing my car 3 months ago with 47,000 miles, I was driving the vehicle at night with my family going 35 mph, straight on a city street with moderate traffic when the accelerator and brake started to harden and the steering wheel started to lock up. The dashboard lights started appearing one after another. I just missed a car next to me trying to get off the road. I pulled in a parking lot and the car stopped completely, the steering wheel, brake, accelerator, everything stopped responding. I assumed it may be a bad battery, so I got a jump, but after 20 minutes, the car refused to turnover. The lights still worked, there wasn't any dimming. The mechanic spent most of the following day trying to figure out what was wrong, still being diagnosed. I've seen the same problem noted for Nissan Sentra and other models, it's a scary thing for a vehicle to completely stop on a road or highway, if the parking lot wasn't nearby, my family and I would have been sitting ducks to oncoming traffic or strained on a highway. This is by the most careless vehicle issue that will eventually result in a terrible accident and should be addressed immediately. I'm concerned this issue hasn't been resolved or recalled.

When I come out my house in the morning, I have found my trunk open so far more than 5 times and at times when I come out of a store the trunk is open. It's always when the vehicle in park. I don't feel safe with this happen all the time and I feel like one day it's going to happen and someone go in my trunk and car and take whatever they want. The doors or the alarm never open or goes off on it own but the trunk does. I don't know if it's the key fob or what.

When you are driving on the highway my car makes wind noise from the passenger side door

I purchased my Nissan 12/27/2016 with 0 miles on it. I have since found out that the car was in a recall status since 5/2016. It is now only 1/18/2017 but these safety concerns were never mentioned at the time of purchase. As of yet I haven't had a problem but I have only owned the car 3 weeks; but I think the bigger issue is a large dealership knowingly selling faulty cars to unsuspecting buyers.
