2023 Nissan Pathfinder ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Issue is related to insufficient starting and propulsion of the vehicle after the idle stop feature has stopped the engine. After the idle stop feature turns off the engine [upon stopping of the vehicle], the engine does not start quickly and efficiently. You take your foot off the brake, the vehicle begins to start, then you push on the gas, the engine/vehicle then hesitates and stutters, and then the engine finally fully engages and moves the vehicle. Engine doesn't seem to be getting sufficient fuel. NOTE: THE MOST CONCERNING ISSUE is that upon pushing on the gas after idle stop, the vehicle has automatically slipped into Neutral [two recent incidents], basically stalling the vehicle in traffic (until the RPMs reduced and it could be put back in Drive). This is a safety concern if I am beginning to take a left-hand turn or pulling out into oncoming traffic. I have to now turn off the idle stop feature each trip to avoid this safety concern (unless I forget). I will be bringing vehicle into the dealer for service soon - but I am not confident this is going to effectively diagnosed or resolved.

My car has been flipping into manual mode from a stopped position. It’s happened about a dozen times at this point. I’ve taken it to the dealership multiple times. The first time I took it in they said they did some software updates. A few weeks later it happened again. Took it back in… they said they couldn’t find anything wrong. They tried to tell me it was “user error”. Since then it’s happened multiple times. It’s always from a stopped or slowed position such as a red light, stop sign or yield/merge. I’ve almost been rear ended on 2 occasions because I try to accelerate and the car will not go and once you realize it’s in neutral someone is already slamming on their brakes behind you! The most recent time it happened with my children in the car! This is unacceptable. I driven Nissans for over 20 years and never had an issue. I currently lease this vehicle. I have 5 months left and I’ve been begging the dealership to get me out of this car… I told them I’d drive anything but this. And they won’t. I’ve been dealing with Nissan consumer affairs which is a joke! I’m at my wits end.

1. Loud Noise when starting the engine - Noise like a train 2. I’m driving along and my car just starts vrooming it’s stuck between gears. It cuts off and changes gear to Neutral or just cut off. Cars behind me literally almost wrecks everytime. 3. Panel on the driver side warf and came loose at within 7 days of purchse 4. Oil Light came on- frighting 5. Loud Noise from windows when driving - Loud. All of this happen within a week after (Jan/2023 ) purchase. Reported to Dealerships and Nissan Corp. I requested to return the vehicle they said NO. I stated that the vehicle is unsafe to drive. At First Dealerships said they could't duplicate the problem, after many trips to dealships they said it was the fuel pump. I have been waiting on a fuel pumps for months. The bottom line is that the vehicle is unsafe to drive and cut off unexpectly whenever and has put myself and others in harms way. As of today I am still waiting on the part for my vehicle. Nissan nor any of the dealership has provide me with transporation while I am waiting. Please Help.
