The car acceleration issues, taking a long time to go from 0-50 with the tachometer going up to 5 to do so. My MPG has gone from 33 to 28 mpg. There are times when I press on the gas but my car doesn’t move. It also makes loud “rumbling” or “whining” sounds at times.

The dash board lights up and the check engine light comes. It’s hard to accelerate or reverse and its idles high. I have replaced coils, spark plugs, censors and it’s costs me thousands of dollars and it’s still not fixed.
P0101 code keep coming back after so many repairs plus all lights are on like lane assist front collision prevention rear collision detection and slippery road it will reset after turning off and on
I was coming off the highway as soon as I got to stop my car shut off. I had to restart my car again. This is about the fifth time it did it. I have sent it to the dealership and they cannot find nothing wrong with it.
PC Solenoid B CAR REDUCES POWER & HESITATES while driving.
Car will shut off on its own when sitting at a red light will get a message showing the word MALFUNCTION, will restart after several attempts of pressing the start button. Has been taken to the dealer and reported and documented on my service receipt but they could not duplicate the problem and stated car was at specs. This has now happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks.
I bought the car on Memorial Day and left the dealership with a full tank. That Friday, June 4, 2021, I drive my car to NYC for a meeting. My gas tank was very low when I arrived and I only had 1 mile until empty. I went to the gas station and the fuel door would not open. There is no manual release for the fuel door. I had no tools in the car and was stuck at the gas station. I waited for Nissan emergency from 10:42 to 3pm. They were able to get it open and I filled the tank and immediately drove back to MD. On 6/6 I brought it back to the dealer and was told it was a manufacturer error.
Entering highway or traffic car hesitates no power . Seems like the engine isnt providing enough gas for take off, this is with the pedal accelerator completely pressed down. This has happened several times. Scary when your entereing traffic. Had back to dealer once and said all was fine. It happens almost every time I drive it but not all the time mainly when you come to an almost stop and try to go. I looked on line for bullitins and came across classification at19-002d reference ntb19-040d.
The car currently has 5700 miles on the odometer. Ever since I bought it in june of 2020, intermittently the car will idle rough at stop lights. When it happens it is usually after driving on the highway for 20 or 30 minutes. On october 17, 2020 after about an hour on the highway the car idled rough at the first stop light I encountered then died. I restarted it then it promptly died again. After the second restart there were no other problems. Took the car into the dealer on monday 10/19/20. They kept it for 3 days and never could duplicate the problem. They did reprogram the engine control module that was under recall. Hoping maybe this resolves the problem.
Stopped in parking lot to back in parking space and car just shut off. Was able to restart and proceed with backing in spot. At another time I was sitting at traffic light and RPM's started to move below 1 and then shut off. Another time was when I stopped to let a passenger out of car and car just shutodf.
