My vehicle intermittently loses power when going uphill or accelerating. For example, two days ago I was driving up steep hills in the tn mountains at less than 20 MPH. While accelerating the vehicle lost power. I smashed the accelerator to the floor and nothing happened. I stopped the vehicle and put it into park, and then back to drive. The vehicle was able to accelerate as normal. Sometimes this same issue happens while accelerating from a stop.

Sudden loss of power by model year
What owners say
My car stalled on me when in motion and wont go past 7mph, and eventually lose power and drain my battery. I took it for repair bought a new alternator,replaced the alternator it still drain and damage the battery. I have to go buy another battery, a brand new battery and in no time drained the battery again. This happens when the car is running regardless if anything is turned on or not.
Vehicle loses power, inconsistently, when beginning to accelerate from a stopped position, such as at a red light, leading to near-rearend collision, on multiple occasions. Feels like the transmission is slipping during these occasions, and after pumping the accelerator it "kicks back into foward gear. Now I am getting code p1778 (was not getting this code for a long time while the vehicle was manifesting this loss of power).
The car is losing power at random times then all of a sudden will lurch forward at full power. This has cause me to almost get into numerous accidents. The dealer has adi that since there isnt a code coming up that they cant do anything. Ive read on the web that many other people have had this issue and that its a transmission issue but that nissan wont issue a recall.
I was driving at 30 MPH to go home when my car lost all power with no warning. Thank goodness I didn't have my young children with me. The shop fixed my car after nine days and all was covered except the alternator. Total damage was 6,000.00. Two days later my car started to hesitate while driving. I quickly got rid of the car. Too bad I loved it for the first 44,000 miles. Beware.
