“About a year ago (2018) my car started occasionally losing power after I had stopped at a light or stop sign after driving on a city street or getting off the highway. I would push the gas pedal and my car would not move until about 5 seconds later. If I keep driving while this happens, eventually the car will not go over 40 MPH, the rpms will go up to 4k-5k and the engine will rev without gaining speed. It will then start lurching forward and jerking back and forth. I finally figured out that if I stop and then restart my car, the issue subsides. …”

NHTSA complaint #11113262, filed 2018-07, 1,000 miles“I kept hearing a loud clicking or popping noise coming from the front of the car when turning left or right to maneuver in and out of parking spaces. I took the car to the dealer only to be told it was a bent piece of metal by a rotor. I drove the car from the dealer still hearing the popping noise. I called Nissan USA and got a case number. The noise got louder so I took the car back to the dealer on 12/16/17. The dealer told me it was the entire front suspension that had to be replaced. Miles on the car are approximately 24,000 and covered under the 36,000-mile warranty. …”
