Since I got the car in 2018 the car does a jutter I went to a mechanic and they hooked it up to the computer and did a diagnostic and that's what it's called a judder the car keeps stuttering when it hits past 23 mph. As the years went on it has gotten worse and worse and Nissan will not cover it even though they're at fault for it I don't know what to do because certain mechanics are charging $3,500 and more
For the past 5 months the acceleration will not work intermittently. I have almost gotten into two accidents on the interstate and in the city. I’ve taken the vehicle to the dealership twice and Firestone auto care twice they cannot replicate the issue it is a hazard to drive with the car behaving this way.
UPON PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I WILL PUSH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE TO HIT THE PEDAL 2-4 TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. THIS OCCURS AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT OR INTERSECTION. THE SAME HAS JUST HAPPENED WITH MY WIFE'S 2018 NISSAN ROGUE. SHE WAS AT AN INTERSECTION. MY CAR THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR 2 MONTHS. MY WIFE'S CAR, HER FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED TODAY. MINE HAPPENED 2X TODAY. WE BOTH PURCHASED ARE CARS FROM THE SAME NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN CLINTON, NC.
