I bought this car certified pre-owned from Enterprise Car Sales, in large part because of their 109-point inspection and 12 month powertrain warranty. The warranty is worthless, because the Nissan dealership cannot find a problem: the engine light is NOT on, the car does NOT misbehave for the mechanic, and it throws NO codes. Yet . . . I was in a parking lot, turning around, and all of a sudden, I pressed the gas pedal and nothing happened. The car was on, it had been on for about half an hour, and I could hear the engine, but no revving, no nothing when I pressed the gas. I put it in park, then tried reverse, and nothing. Tried Drive, still nothing. Then finally, after about a minute of off and on pressing the gas, it slowly decided to creep forward and gain some Rpms. It didn't do it again until several months later, which I will report as a separate incident. This is in tandem with another report I have filed, on how the car rather consistently now (though still not ALL the time) lurches, bucks, and shakes violently upon acceleration. Something is wrong with the CVT! Does it have to conk out on me on the train tracks, or in the middle of the South Bronx, or cause me to have an accident, before someone will give credence to what is happening and DO something about it? I will post a video about the second time this stalling happened, in my next complaint.
