Filed Jan 31, 2024 · Driver assistance, Transmission · CA

I read all of the 214 complaints by consumers who have had the same scary incident occur to them. I have completed all of my recalls and for the life of the vehicle I have had the maintenance plan. The car has been well taken car of. After reading the complaints, I also have had an incident where the vehicles RPM's increased for no reason almost causing me to hit another vehicle in front of me and I quickly swerved to miss the vehicle. Then as quick as this happened the car just slowed down to a complete stop. I tried putting my foot on the accelerator and the vehicle would not move. I then pressed the accelerator all the way down to the floor of the vehicle. Nothing. This halting stop almost caused several vehicles to get in an accident. This is a serious problem and Nissan needs to rectify this horrible safety issue and fix all of our cars. I am going to talk to a lawyer. This is going to kill someone or cause serious harm to others.

I had recently driving a 2016 nissan sentra I own. I was driving on an interstate in my area and all of a sudden the car significantly decelerated while stalling to about 30 mile per hour. I immediately pulled over from the right lane onto the shoulder. Thank goodness I was in the right lane and had the shoulder just to my right as traffic was relatively heavy. Candidly I thought I was going to crash the vehicle as I did swerve at about 45 miles per hour. Keep in mind I was traveling at 65 mile per hours. The car is now with woodfield nissan in schaumburg, il since thursday, july 30. The service department informed me I have to replace the electronic control unit (egi). I did not know what this was and that the cost would be almost $3,000. I asked about recalls and was told that there are recalls for this same model year car but my car did not meet nissan?s requirement since the VIN #?s were already identified . I have done my research regarding this known defect with this vehicle. Nissan only agreed to voluntarily recall vehicles during a certain timeframe. I'm not clear why my vehicle VIN#[xxx] is not covered under the recall, I'm experiencing what the recall outlined. I have seen numerous cases reported online. I was able to locate campaign code pm6580. Nissan is not willing to cooperate and assit with the current production issue I?m experiencing. My 2016 nissan has been at woodfiled nissan since 7/30 with the harness on backorder. I'm not certain why VIN# was not part of the recall as I'm experiencing the defect in a production environment, while it?s a very dangerous production issue. I feel it's unfair and deceptive as a customer that is experiencing a production recall issue. Nissan case # [xxx]. Sincerely, [xxx] car under [xxx] at dealer or [xxx].

Car feels like the engine starts and stops continuously and very fast when on highway going 60-75 MPH, and happens more often with cruise control on. The speedometer bounces around like crazy from zero to bouncing pass my speed I'm driving at. This has been going on since I bought the car to currently. I pull over and let it rest, I didn't see complaints in past about this from others until now, so I thought I now must report as well. I didn't know if it was engine, speedometer, fuel related, gas pedal or what, but now realizing it's engine issues due to a recall notice I got in the mail and a civil lawsuit action is currently in the process.

My car started showing a traction control light on the dashboard and my cruise control stopped working. I brought it to the dealer and they told me a brake sensor was bad so they went to fix that but it didnt fix the problem because I had no brake lights. Apparently a wire shorted and reulted in me not having brake lights and the car didnt indicate or warn me I had been driving with no brake lights. They told me the cost to replace the harness was $3000.00 or they could run another wire to replace the bad one for $1000.00 on a 3 year old car that retails for $18000.00 that has 25000 miles on it.
