Vvt valve has failed twice now despite timely oil changes. This is a safety risk because vehicle will stall at low speeds like when starting at an intersection from a stopped position

When starting from a dead stop, pressing down on the accelerator peddle no forward car acceleration, no increase in RPM. After a short period of time ( 2-3) seconds fast increase in RPM and fast forward acceleration. This is very unsafe when trying to merge from a dead stop and expecting forward motion and there is none.

Nissan seems to have defective AC components in their 2015 altima vehicles. The below link shows additional individuals that have experienced the exact same issue with their 2015 altima. The compressor does not always engage, which causes the vehicle to blow out hot air.
