I was driving a 2019 Nissan Frontier and after pulling out of a parking garage the vehicle was failing to accelerate properly and the engine was jerking. I immediately pulled over and discovered the high pressure AC line had a hairline crack in it and the refrigerant oil sprayed all over the serpentine belt which caused the serpentine belt to slip.This was affecting the alternator voltage and causing improper acceleration. Once I wiped the refrigerant oil off the serpentine belt the car performed normally. This is the 3rd time in 37,000 miles that the refrigerant line (Nissan part # 92440-EA200) has experienced a hairline crack in the exact same location every time. The first failure was at 9,833 miles and the line was replaced. The second failure was at 17,662 miles and the line was replaced. The car was not driven on the road immediately after the first and second line ruptures and the oil was able to dry off the serpentine belt. The third failure happened at 37,000 miles.

Frontier

After 9/19 purchase, found that using automatic transmission gear selector from park into drive intermittently reflected '4' on the dashboard and would not engage into the selected gear. I found that I had to either return the shifter to the 'P' position and/or return to the 'P' position followed by turning the engine off before reattempting. Overall, sounds emanating from the transmission during transitioning to/from a selected gear after stopping produces clearly unnerving 'clunking' sounds.
