2015 Nissan Sentra VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal, there was an abnormal beeping sound coming from the vehicle before the vehicle stopped independently. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the diagnostic result was unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,520.

Over the last year my 2015 Nissan Sentra has been having problems of judder (shake and shudder), hesitation on acceleration, lack of power and RPM flare. It happens when I am driving highway speed and when going uphill on the highway as well. I went to Firestone to get a diagnostic check and came out with the code of p17f4. I was surprised given that no check engine light has turned on. I will be going to the Nissan dealership and asking them what steps can happen. This is the second Nissan vehicle (the second vehicle is a Nissan Rogue) that has had a transmission problem.

When I am pulling out into traffic or any stop and go, I press the gas pedal and sporadically there is a hesitation with the car acceleration. At times I am crossing a lane and traffic is coming and my car hesitated. Very scary thinking I may get t boned.

WHILE IN MOTION, VEHICLE FAILS TO CONTINUE ACCELERATING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS.

WHILE DRIVING IT RATTLES, PICKS UP SPEED VERY SLOWLY, WHEN STEPPING ON GAS IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO SPEED UP WHICH IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OTHER TRAFFIC CAN HIT ME FROM BEHIND. MAKES WEIRD NOISE EVERY TIME I STEP ON GAS AND IS GOING 30 MPH. HAVING DIFFICULTY WHEN TRYING TO REVERSE. I WAS AT A STOP AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE I HAD TO ASK FOR HELP TO PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE STREET. WAS TOLD THAT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION. IT'S ONLY BEEN 6 MONTHS I BOUGHT THE CAR AND IT HAS 70,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65-70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (NISSAN OF NORTH OLMSTEAD, LOCATED AT 28500 LORAIN ROAD, NORTH OLMSTEAD, OHIO 44070) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PRODUCE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON THE FREEWAY BUT CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING, ONLY STAYING AT THE SAME SPEED. I KEPT TRYING AND THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE SO I HAD TO KEEP THE THROTTLE FULLY DEPRESSED TO MAINTAIN SPEED. VERY SCARY

BEGINNING A WEEK AGO, THE VEHICLE HAS SPONTANEOUSLY SLOWED WITHOUT WARNING, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AND DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE CRUISING ALONG AT 65 MPH, WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT 5 MPH, AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN. THE ACCELERATOR BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE UNTIL YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT COMPLETELY OFF AND TRY TO DEPRESS AGAIN (SOMETIMES IT TAKES 2 OR 3 TIMES). THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE WHILE DRIVING, THEN IT IS FINE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP (HOURS), AS WELL AS CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT A TRIP. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM BY TEST DRIVING. AFTER THE FIRST TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP, I NOTICED A CORRELATION BETWEEN WHEN IT IS RAINING AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE WIPERS HAVE BEEN TURNED ON WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, THE CAR DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL AND SLOWS, WITH AN UNRESPONSIVE ACCELERATOR. ALSO, THE "SLIPPERY ROAD" ICON APPEARS ON THE DASH BOARD WHEN THE ROAD IS DRY AND SPONTANEOUSLY DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, NAVIGATE HILLS, OR JUST DRIVING WITH OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND YOU. I WILL CALL THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING NOW THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A CONNECTION WITH THE VDC (VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL) SYSTEM AND SEE IF THEY CAN PINPOINT THE ISSUE NOW. SHOULD I JUST LEAVE MY NEW CAR PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT EVER AGAIN? MAYBE I CAN USE IT FOR A PLANTER. *TR

WHILE APPROACHING A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT IT TURNED GREEN AND I ACCELLERATED TO THE ROAD SPEED OF 40 MPH. THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED RED AND I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL BUT IT DIDN'T COME UP AND RELEASE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO. I USED MY BRAKE AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE LIGHT CHANGED AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS STILL STUCK DOWN. I MADE A LEFT TURN AS I KNOW THAT ROAD IS LONG AND WOULD GET ME OUT OF TRAFFIC. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN I HEARD AND FELT A LOUD POP AND THE GAS PEDAL FINALLY RELEASED ALLOWING ME TO BRAKE PROPERLY AND STOP THE VEHICLE. HAD MY NEWLY LICENSED 17 YEAR OLD BEEN DRIVING, HE WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO SEE WHY THIS CAR'S GAS PEDAL WON'T RELEASE!! I AM WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK NOW.

GAS PEDEL ACCELERATOR MY ITSELF.
