2008 Nissan Altima acceleration problems

Filed Oct 6, 2023 · Acceleration, Airbags · SC · crash

While pulling into a parking spot and coming to a halt, I put the car into park mode. My foot was still on the brake. Instantly the engine went into "overdrive" and lurched forward over a parking curb and through heavy brush and finally came to a stop after hitting a pine tree. The engine was still screaming and the tires still spinning until I hit the off button. I had my foot on the brake the entire time to no avail. The heavy brush slowed the car somewhat. The airbags didn't deploy. I had several witnesses and they all stated they saw my brake lights on. I plowed approx. 50 feet through the brush before hitting the tree. I was the only one involved and was not hurt. This was Thurs. Sept. 28, 2023. It was in a state park and no police report made. Park Ranger took down info.

I pulled into Regions bank parking lot to use ATM machine and before I could even park my car accelerated for no reason. I had my foot on the brake but it just made it go faster. I crashed into the building and airbag deployed. This was the scariest driving experience I’ve ever had. The car is totaled and caused serious damage to bank. I escaped by the grace of God with sprained wrist and elbow and knee abrasions.

I just purchased my nissan not even 3 months ago and I've had to have it in the 4-5 shops because nobody could figure out why it was giving the code p0335. Finally found out it's the timing chain. I cant drive my own car because of it and I feel like I got robbed of my money. The dam car is stuck in limp mode. We was driving one day and all of sudden the car jerked really hard an lost power didnt have a clue what was going on.

We were driving on I-695 in baltimore area when I started to notice that while pressing acceleration paddle, the car was not moving forward. It started to stall and eventually stopped completely. Luckily, I was able to pull it to the curbside before a collision may have occurred. But someone with less driving capabilities may have ended up in an accident due to the car stalling without any warning. Later on I found out the transmission failed and nissan didn't care at all when I contacted them. I got transmission replaced myself. I thought I should speak out about this because a transmission stalling a vehicle at nearly 65 MPH is a safety issue that needs to be addresses.

I own a 2008 nissan altima. I was driving down a major highway one evening when all of a sudden the car begins to slow down. I press the gas pedal and the car seems to go even slower. It was myself and my youngest daughter. I was scared to death. The speed limit on the highway was 70 MPH and my car would not go over 35 MPH. I pulled over to a gas station and a nice man looked at the car and could find nothing wrong with it. So get back on the way to go back because I didn't trust the car to make it to my destination. It did the ame thing again. So I drove with my hazard lights on all the way home and parked it. Now it drives fine right in the small town I live in but I cant drive it out of town at all, which really defeats the purpose.
