Nissan Altima Power Train Safety Report | May 20, 2013
Reported on May 20, 2013
| RESUMING AFTER A STOP THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH. IT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THERE WERE SEVERAL STRONG JERKING MOTIONS FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN WHEN IT FULLY ENGAGED THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AT A HIGHER THAN EXPECTED SPEED. I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH REACTION TIME TO BRAKE AND I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AT THE TIME BUT SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS DONE THE SAME THING STARTING OUT FROM A STOP. IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. I HAVE TO LEAVE PLENTY OF DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR IN FRONT TO AVOID ANOTHER ACCIDENT. *TR | |
