Example complaints

“I was driving my car on the interstate when the check engine light came on when I hit the gas the car didn't want to go into gear brought the car to the repair shop and the me mechanic told me that this car has a recall for the transmission and engine problems just want to know if this is correct because no one will fix it for me”
NHTSA complaint #11299770, filed 2020-01, 138,005 miles“When I start to accelerate after a stop light or stop sign, my car will hesitate to accept the gas and seems as if it's going to quit, however, inadvertently it finally catches up and will start to accelerate. This has been happening since I purchased this vehicle in june of 2016. It seems as if it is more often lately. This happens often and is dangerous going through an intersection. Also, this makes me uneasy because anyone behind me could possibly run into the back of my car.”
NHTSA complaint #11124337, filed 2018-09, 86,000 miles“Around 100,000 miles would not accelerate when traveling an incline or after stopping and restarting at a red light or stop sign, even while gas pedal was to the floor. When the car finally decided to move it would surge. Also while idling stationary and shutting the car off, it failed to restart. Head lights started blinking, a clicking noise could be heard coming from engine. The car would have to be jumped off. Battery checked and is not the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11311021, filed 2020-02, 100,000 miles“Our 2011 Nissan Murano is garaged & serviced (not at dealer as their rates for labor & parts is crazy high) & has been a great SUV, until it had problems monthswith the acceleration in certain situations. This would happen when stopping at a red light or stop sign in town. We’d push on the acceleration~gas & the Murano wouldn’t respond…would do a slow count of 4 to 5, & the Murano would then accelerate slowly until reaching the posted speed limit. …”
NHTSA complaint #11474221, filed 2022-07“For over a year, I have experienced hesitations of movement when needed to have acceleration from a complete or rolling stop. When driving, I’ve pushed on the gas pedal to accelerate & there was a long two second hesitation (lack of propulsion) before the Murano resumed forward movement. There was also a loss of acceleration (speed/movement) while merging into very heavy traffic on a busy main road, & that could have caused an accident. Every time there was a hesitation of movement when pushing on the gas pedal, it could have been a disaster. …”
