Transmission and drivetrain: “After coming to a stop (or near stop) from highway speeds, my 2014 Nissan CUBE does not respond to depressing the accelerator.

A couple of times I was in heavy traffic on a limited access rural highway. The light ahead had turned red and I decelerated to an almost stop before the light changed to green. Of course, I immediately let off the brake pedal and pressed the accelerator. …”
