Nissan Altima Power Train Safety Report | Mar 03, 2014
Reported on Mar 03, 2014
| WHILE LEAVING A STOP, THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 5 MPH AND WHEN I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MOVE FORWARD THE ENGINE RPM WENT TO 5000RPM BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. IT MAINTAINED THE CONSTANT SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. AFTER BACKING OFF ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN THE CAR ACCELERATED. THIS EVENT HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND I CONSIDER THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE MAY FAIL TO RESPOND TO A NEED FOR INCREASED SPEED A SAFETY ISSUE. | |
