Vehicle will delay acceleration when I have stopped at a stop sign or stop light. When I press the gas pedal it will delay acceleration for a couple of seconds and then final take off. It doesn't happen often and I find that if I turn the engine off and wait a few minutes and start it again, it goes away for several days but does return.
2016 Nissan Altima fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 30 of 30, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that after retrieving the vehicle following an engine repair, the fuel gauge was inoperable. The contact refueled the vehicle however, a week later the fuel gauge had not moved. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer who diagnosed that fuel sensing unit located in the gas tank had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,701.
The vehicle will randomly stop accelerating while driving. Also will have a delayed acceleration randomly too.
The fuel tank was supposedly punctured and had a fuel leak. This according to the mechanics, never happens and sounds oddly like the recall this vehicle had in 2015/2016. I’ve checked my vin and says no recalls, but my entire fuel tank needs replacing now.
Car will not accelerate when depressing gas pedal. Will hesitate from 1 to 5 seconds. Example, driving on the freeway doing 60 mph changing lanes and lose acceleration. This happens at dead stop to 60 mph. MAJOR safety concerns. Brought my vehicle to Nissan dealership and the issue came back the next day. My vehicle is 2016 Nissan Altima
My 2016 Altima is experiencing a sporadic delay when accelerating from a stop. It won’t rev or do anything for a couple of seconds no matter how far down the pedal is. Then all of a sudden it’ll go. There is no check engine light and no codes. If I turn the car off, it’s like it resets and has more power afterwards.
I just purchased this vehicle with 93,000 miles and good condition. A warning or indicator light never comes on but sporadically I will be driving around 40-50mph & if I let off of the gas something happens where no matter how hard or fast I press the accelerator the car looses power. I can press the accelerator all the way to the floor & still not speed up. The car will slowly decrease speed until about 30mph or either I have to take my foot off of the accelerator totally & press hard about 1/4 on the accelerator to regain power. It feels like the pressure behind the accelerator disappears when all of this happens. There is no dimming of lights or anything obvious. It happens when my Mom drives also. I have lost power trying to pass a car or turn with oncoming traffic ahead. It scares me.
Car loses power while driving on highways or roads and had nearly cost me my life on occasion where the vehicle cannot complete a turn from loss of power and I cannot proceed and obstruct oncoming vehicle paths. It has also revved up out of the blue to 6000-7000 RPMs despite a holding steady pace on the gas pedal. The speed jolts and has nearly caused me to rear end unsuspecting vehicles. Sometimes the vehicle cannot accelerate and has NO POWER after coming to a full stop at a red light or stop sign. I have been unable to receive help for any of these issues despite many diagnoses and lots of money spent. And it was not made aware to me, an owner of a Nissan Altima vehicle that there is a known probability of failure with CVTs in use in Altima’s of my hear. That lack of effort and total disregard for the lives of customers in similar Nissan vehicles is absolutely disgraceful and unacceptable! Furthermore, they try to deny it and try to take zero fault. Nissan is denying fault for faulty CVT in my vehicle and made NO ATTEMPT to notify owners of affected NISSAN vehicles and is NOT rectifying the issue or admitting their lack of effort on making owners of affected Nissan vehicles aware of issues and threatening consumer wellbeing
The gas pedal will not push down it is like something is under the gas pedal when there isn't anything and then when it does it push down it is like u floor board it. And sometimes it causes it not to change gears like it is not reading the connection from gas pedal to the system that it needs to give it fuel and then it tries to die at times when u do get it to kick in. This is when I stop at a light or stop sign and it does it more when it has been setting running for a bit in one spot. It has happened like several times in the last few months
Fuel sensor is not showing fuel level properly most of the time while vehicle is in motion, if you are on the highway or freeway the fuel shows full tank or close to the full tank but any time your car stops in middle of the highway because you ran out of fuel and you don't know the correct fuel level in your vehicle. If the car stops in the middle of the highway then it may cause an serious accidents or crash.
Car mpg change for worse and cneck engine light on. Repair codes po14c , po14d,po15a,po15b showing at dealership indicating tsb for factory defective heat sheild replace + air fuel sensor + pcv valve . Dealer wanted $1256.86 to do the work. The vehicle is a 2016 altima with 29,006 miles.
Delayed acceleration after coming to a stop car will not accelerate for s few seconds. There needs to be a recall although haven't caused a crash yet it could very easily could be.
Check engine light came on around same time car began to exhibit acceleration issues, like stalling, slipping into 2nd gear, and engine cut out when accelerating during both normal city and highway driving. Sensors read by certified mechanic, and dealership indicated oxygen sensor failure and the dealership replaced the CVT transmission and the o2 sensor. After repairs and part replacements, 2 weeks later all of these problems began to reoccur. Several mechanic recommended getting rid of the car as they can not resolve the issues and don't want to waste my time or money. Contact art's automotive in berkeley california
When I am stopped (at a stop sign, traffic light, etc.) the car hesitates to accelerate when I press the gas. It sometimes takes 5 to 7 seconds before the car will begin to accelerate. This happens randomly, and there is no warning. There have been instances when the rpms rev up extremely high and the car feels like it is struggling to maintain speed. I have taken it to the nissan dealership, and since they can't reproduce the issue, and nothing shows up when they run diagnostics, they have stated that there is nothing they can do. I purchased my car brand new and currently it has 46,000 miles, and I currently don't feel safe when driving it. This has been randomly happening for months.
I was driving the vehicle immediately had loss of power and would not accelerate. No warnings or codes appeared and after pulling over for 2 minutes the vehicle allowed acceleration again. This has happened 3 times, and the nissan car dealership could resolve the issue
Takata recall I've got 80000 miles on my car and the transmission speed sensor went out. So while driving in traffic my car stalled from going and it could've caused a accident or my life the CVT transmission needs checked thanks.
I was stopped at a red light when I took my foot off of the brake and pressed the accelerator my car stalled out. It took 30 seconds of pressing on the gas for it to begin to move. *tt
2016 nissan altima fuel gauge is not registering correctly. I fill up the tank but the dashboard gauge shows as half full even though the mileage to empty is updating I think correctly. Each time I fill up tank the level does not go to the full mark. I have contacted the dealer because I just bought the car a month ago. Waiting for them to contact me back to schedule a service appointment.
I have been having chronic issues with engine on my 2016 nissan altima. Initially (11/2016), the car would "jump/skip" when I would try to accelerator and even feeling like it was going to cut off on me. When I called I was informed it was due to defect and it was on recall. The issues appeared to resolve until 11/2017 I started experiencing the same issue but worse and was not able to accelerate while I was driving to work and back home. This occurred on florida turnkpike and local highways. Cars were hooking at me because I was not able to proceed when light turned green, even though I was flooring the car pedal. When I took the car to the shop, I was informed it was my transmission and they had to rebuild it. Afterwards, I continue to have problems with the car cutting off on me and acceleration issues. I brought it back, and I was told it was the crank sensor. They replaced it but know the engine continue to sound like it is working overtime to perform and make a constant high pitch sound. I am bring it back to them a 3rd time to investigate.
I was driving on florida turnpike south and out of no where I hear a big boom noise. My car started over heating and I noticed my engine light has come onto the dashboard. Once I pulled over on side of turnpike, I notice sticking out of my front bumper a big piece of metal.
