“While in motion my vehicle will start to accelerate and then slow down every so often.

This happens anywhere on streets, highways, turning and in motion.”

NHTSA complaint #11291416, filed 2019-12, 74,000 miles“Vehicle has been having transmission issues since 6 months after purchasing it in 2018. Car RPM jumps up and down when driving. Car shuts off when I'm park and left in idle sometimes, it takes a lot to turn left or right in the vehicle. Had transmission replaced in the beginning of 2019 thinking it will fix it, but the issue still occurs. I've taken it to mechanics and they all suggested to contact Nissan. I've spent almost 4,000-6,000 on repairs within the last two years. All related to the same issue”

Since I have purchased this car which has been little than over 2 weeks it has had issue after issue. When driving the car sometimes it seems like it wants to cut off and while drive its like there is a turbo engine in it because it makes a loud noise when you are driving it and sometimes (most of the time) it almost seems hard to control the car while driving on the hwy.”
