This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
First incident:while traveling on the freeway at 70mph(no use of cruise control) going up a steep hill the car suddenly lost power even with the gas pedal to the floor.fortunately we were able to pull over to the shouder and stop the car, after 15 minutes the car started and we drove home without any problem. Second incident:driving from ca to AZ for family wedding on 04/28/2015 after driving for approx. 3 hours using periodic cruise control (cruise control not on during incident) and again driving on freeway at 75mph on level ground engine lost power and began decelerating quickly, not responding to gas pedal( which was floored) engine not reeving at all. Lucky again turned on hazard lights avoided near collison pulled over on shoulder, turned the car off and waited.twenty minutes later turned car on and continued traveling. Third incident: Exactly the same as second incident only happened on the way home on May 4th 2015. Fourth incident: June 12 2015 while traveling on highway in a mountainous region driving at 50mph car again lost all enign power(see above incidents)with same results.during all incidents the weather was hot temperature was at least 90 degrees. This is the same exact problem that was admitted by Nissan for previous years ; hot weather, hills etc causing car to go to "fail safe mode" and it is being reported by Nissan car owners past the recall dates of 2010. Please do something before someone is killed.
While driving uphill, the cruise control dropped out while going 70mph and left me with no control of the gas pedal. It dropped about 20-25mph very quickly and I was nearly run over from behind, which left me quite shaken. I had no control of the gas pedal till hill was crested. This was and is a very dangerous condition that has left me wondering if I can ever trust the cruise control on my vehicle again. This defect has got to be fixed quickly before someone gets hurt. Dealer says they are aware of this happening before but are getting no help from Nissan.
I bought my car new in may,2013 and after a while I noticed that it was making a weird noise when going at high speed. I told the dealership about it at every service, and they said it was nothing, or they could not duplicate it. In Feb 2015 I took it again and asked them to address it seriously, they claimed they can't duplicate it but that the transmission fluid was over full and they fixed that. They also said there were some tubes cracked and they replaced them... now my car makes the noise a lot more, it is not all the time but when it does it is loud and scary. I contacted Nissan usa and it has been hard communicating with them and I think my car is unsafe and might be a lemon.
I pulled out onto route 125 in plaistow, nh at a set of traffic lights and there were cars coming up quick behind me when all of a sudden I went over the drainage in the road I lost all power and started slowing down I had no control of my gas pedal, my car wouldn't go it was just slowing down fast. It was scary I almost got rear ended. When this happened I noticed my traction control light lit up blinking. I have read many horror stories about similar situations and notified the dealership and they cant replicate it so wont do anything about it. I could have been hit hard bc I was just going along when all of a sudden my car pretty much almost stopped in the middle of the road, no brakes, nothing. The dealer has offered to take my car for a period of time to drive and give me one in the meantime to try and see if they can make it happen again. This is something that is serious, especially when in fast moving traffic and this was to happen to me or anyone with this car again.
This has happened a few times. Feels like and seems as if my car goes into cruise control by itself. I lose rpms and cannot accelerate until I slightly brake then go and accelerate. No lights are coming on, and I have taken my car to the dealer with no result. They tried testing it and recreating, but no outcome.
