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.

When I accelerated after being at a complete stop, my vehicle would not move at first. The RPMs shot up, but no movement. I was at a busy intersection and the situation was bothersome but there was no accident. I very slowly pressed the gas pedal again and the vehicle went forward. This is not the first time this has happened. Current mileage is 89,600. This type of problem began around 75,000 miles but has not been a weekly occurrence. This has not been confirmed by a dealer nor inspected. No warning lights came on. There has been hesitation in acceleration for about 2 months but I thought it was possibly bad fuel. There are times the RPMs will greatly increase without speed increasing.
My car had less the 30,000 mi on it. It 28,700mi at the time of incident. I bought it brand new in 2018. So this year my warranty expired in April 2021. In June my cooling fan went out and I had no a/c plus the car was not drivable due to it overheating. I-??m in Idaho we were have 100-110 degree days here. I had no car for a month and a half because I was told that they don-??t make the cooling fans anymore and the dealership couldn-??t get ahold of one for that period of time. Meanwhile I lost my job we don-??t have busses and I couldn-??t get rides or afford ubers/ taxis everyday several times a day. It was awful. I know this issue has to be known to Nissan. Shouldn-??t there have been a safety recall by now"!" Also at the exact same time as the cooling fan went out the fuel pump went out too! Now mind you this car was brand new is three years old with less then 30,000mi on it. So the warranty had expired three months prior they can-??t get the part to replace it for 1 1/2months so I have no car during that time loose my job and have to foot the bill for replacing both the cooling fan and the fuel pump. Okay I believe this make, model, and year NEEDS to have a mandatory safety recall ASAP. For goodness sake look at how many people have had to replace their cooling fans on their car! That-??s not OKAY. I Demand that something be done to fix this BEFORE someone-??s car catches fire and someone ends up dying!
I have experienced, at least 10 times as of 9/12/2020, the latest instance being yesterday 9/11/2020, a lack of response when accelerating. Every instance occurred after the vehicle was at a complete stop, no rolling stops were affected. Some of the times it was really hot (95 degrees Fahrenheit), but other times it was 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Some of the instances were right after I turned the car on and needed to stop and then go, other instances were after driving for 30 minutes or more. I would press the gas pedal to drive and there was no response from the car, I.e.no forward motion, no rpms, no revving of the engine. I would then let the gas pedal come up and then press the gas pedal down again to accelerate. In some of the instances, the second press of the gas pedal would make the car go. Most of the instances needed a third very fast completely to the floor press of the gas pedal in order for the car to move. Some of the instances were while I was just sitting at a red light waiting to go, others were when I needed to stop to make a left turn (which became quite dangerous very fast). None of the instances happened while on the highway or while changing speeds while driving. All instances happened on Suburban roads while running errands or going to and from work or people's houses. There did not appear to be any electrical issues when these instances happened, the radio and lights still worked correctly without any hesitation. There were no lights on the dashboard alerting me to any codes being given by the engine. I am really unsure of what the cause is, and the mechanics could not replicate it to look into anything. After a few instances of this, and in talking to some of my car friends, it could be a throttle response issue or maybe a gummed up valve in the fuel system somewhere. I really don't know.
Vehicle fails to accelerate up to speed, get on to highway vehicle would not go over 60mph, then when traffic slowed for accident, vehicle would not accelerate over 40mph almost causing another accident. Have found numerous other similar complaints on different forums, some with much worse descriptions. Dealer states they have never heard of such events, which has to be false. They are stating it is some sensor in the exhaust system not covered under warranty of course cause nothing is! just so unhappy, first new vehicle purchased, three years old and so very disappointed with my choice, will never purchase any Nissan vehicle again. They do not care about consumer safety!
