| Came to a very sudden stop to avoid a collision. vehicle would not accelerate after this. episode lasted about 20 seconds and then functioned properly. has happened at least 6 more times since first incident. always seems to happen when exiting off interstate and coming to a stop. vehicle starts into intersection and then accelerator seems unresponsive. when this is happening the car does not rev even though accelerator is pushed to the floor repeatedly. episode will last approx. 15-30 seconds and then seems to return to normal. very unnerving when facing oncoming traffic. the transmission has already been replaced one time at about 75k. never performed this way until after dealership replaced the transmission. *tr | |||

| We left sears and proceeded to pull out of parking spot. stepped on gas pedal and rpm went to over 5 grand. vehicle moved by drifting. after rpms dropped vehicle started to move but not very well. vehicle showed signs of transmission not engaging. the transmission is a cvt type automatic. after several attempts decided to shut car off and re-start. hoping this method would allow for ecm to re-boot. no such luck. car carried on for several miles.dangerous part of journey was at red lights and intersection. was hoping that we would not be rear-ended by someone in hurry. called nissan dealer,other one than dealer i originally bought the car from,to see if i could get car in to shop. described incident and this dealer gave us a slot for 9:00am next day. dealer checked car. could not duplicate problem but checked car's computer. 3 codes were stored indicating transmission part failure. dealer ordered transmission and had it delivered in 2 days. dealer currently has car in shop and was getting started removing trans. will have car back,hopefully the following day. please be advised that the dealer performing service is another nissan dealer and not the one i bought car from.this is also the 3rd dealer i have used for other problems.this dealer is very respectful of it's customer and bends over backwards to help. i have had problems with fuel gauge not showing full tank when filled. this happened around 12k miles. i tried a dealer closer to us. he took the car in to check it out,even though he did not have the part in stock to repair vehicle. took 3 weeks to get car in and another 3 weeks to get it back in for the repair. after taking it in for the repair they did not have us on the schedule and had lost the part. after calling nissan of america this baddealer repaired the car. this dealer was worse than 1st dealer. *tr | |||

| I was trying to back out of my driveway and the car just stalled when i depressed the gas pedal. the vehicle hesitated and then suddenly accelerated. this condition was repeated several time while just driving around town in normal traffic. it is a safety hazard. if i were in the middle of an intersection and had to accelerate to avoid a crash, this type of issue could lead to disaster. this seems to be a problem that has been widely reported on the internet without any concern by nissan. *tr | |||
