As we were getting the highway the breaks had failed and then we some were able to get off the highway but the steering wheel cruise control decided it was gonna work by itself it was a very accident. And not only that my identity has been affected so bad because of the situation with mission and the dealership that I’m unable to use my name for anything anymore my credits ruined and now they want 18 grand for me to pay off the vehicle that’s they purposely made the car look like a rebuild so it was no longer covered I guess because the person set up the insurance with Geico and actually some how have me insurance in my father dl number and later on start changing stuff removing the insurance forging documents My name is [XXX] Email is [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The car is revving RPM's between 1500-3500 while driving a normal speed or on cruise control on a flat highway. Upon take off, the car is slow to engage. Car is also revving the engine, like hitting the gas while in neutral, even though car is in motion. Car has less than 53,000 miles on the odometer. Issues are worse on a highway setting. This has been going on off and on for a couple of months, but has gotten worse this past week. Meeting with the local nissan dealership next week for what could be a costly assessment.

We purchased this car last may and shortly there after may be a couple of months after I start experiencing delays on acceleration. I drive on the highway so I use the cruise control. So when I started experiencing the delay on acceleration I stop using the cruise control, because I thought that was the issue. To shorten a long story after I stop using the cruise control, the issue remained. I'm going to go more in depth about the issue. For example, I am stopped at the stop light. When the light turns green, I accelerate nothing happens for a few seconds there's a delay for about four to 5 seconds and then acceleration commences in the rpms go way up. At this time I have to let up off the excelerator and ease into acceleration now. Every time I go to accelerate the rpms go way up the transmission does not want to go into the next gear. I have to pull over to the side of the road turn off the car to re-boot it. Most of the time this works sometimes it doesn't. So about a week ago I was driving having the same issue and then the check engine light comes on. Now I have codes to take to the dealership. When I take the car to the dealership for diagnostics, transmission related codes come up and now the car needs a new transmission. When I purchased this car it was about 49,000 miles on it. I started having this issue well before I got to 60,000 miles. 60,000 miles is the cut off for nissan's powertrain warranty. If I had gotten the codes before 60,000 miles, it would be covered on under nissan's warranty. My girlfriend checked on car complaints.com and noticed that there are several other nissan owners with the same issue. I respectfully request an investigation for recall on this matter.

2016 nissan altima ,cruise control on, speed set at 65 to 69 while cruising with crash avoidance set to one bar speed will suddenly drop to 62 to 65 . No cars no where near front of vehicle or on road way in front of vehicle, road way empty with no vehicles insight. Have to step on accelerator to bring vehicle back up to speed. Took car in to nissan, mechanic said his altima does same thing and that this was normal operation of cruise control. This causes other drivers behind my vehicle to become enraged as I'm holding up traffic usually pass me sometimes cutting me off for holding up traffic. This has been happening all the time when using cruise control since 03/30/2016 to present.
