Nissan has a very serious safety concern that if not remedied I will have to take action elsewhere. My 2017 altima lags and sputters randomly. I was almost hit today when I turned from an intersection and the car slowed down in the middle of the intersection.

My problem began about a year to a year and a half ago. When I come to a full stop, and I press the accelerator pedal down, the engine does not rev, the RPM’s do not go up and the car does not move for about 3-5 seconds, and then the car just starts accelerating rapidly all of a sudden. This problem has been persistent and very random.

When I am driving this vehicle, I get to a stop sign or red light or even stopping at a drive-through window and when I need to go the car will not accelerate I have to shut the car off and turn it back on to get it to accelerate and go. This keeps happening and is very dangerous especially when I have my children in the car.

Rear passenger side door lock stopped working intermittently then the right front passenger side door lock stopped working intermittently. I never know if the doors are locked or unlocked. If the fob was used to lock the car and thelock did not fully lock, you can open the door but then it sets off the car alarm.

When I stop at a red light and put my foot on the gas to proceed it would barely move and then take off. My car has under 19,500 miles and the camera is messed up, my car wouldn't start before, my bluetooth hesitates at times and my warning lights are not working properly. Now my check engine light is and I get my oil changes done and just got my brakes done and my car is squealing again.

Nissan of Cerritos knowingly and with malice sold me a defective car. The car has a delayed acceleration issue. It is the most helpless feeling to be in such danger everyday due to this ongoing CVT defect.

On September 14, 2022 at about 7: 30 PM I attempted to shift from park to reverse and the gear shift would not move from park. I reset the park brake and released it once again thinking perhaps the brake did not fully release but it would not go into reverse. The gear shift was locked.

There is an active recall for the hood latch which nissan has no resolution for at this time. First- this same recall existed on my 2014 nissan altima and while the current recall is listed at june 2020 for the 2017 altima this issue is not new or unknown to nissan. They simply do not know how to permanently and safely resolve the issues.
