At some point on the highway the car throttles down to less than 60 mph. Mashing the gas pedal to the floor results in nothing happening. This causes a dangerous road situation with the slower speed, but the worst part is when it suddenly begins to accelerate again, potentially hitting the car in front of you unexpectedly. No mechanic can reproduce the effect as it only takes place after driving on the highway for an hour or so.

Ever since i got the car in May of 2022 I have had problems with my transmission, engine and problems with excessive oil leaking. I-??ve tried to get it fixed. None of the repairs have fixed my car even with my warranty and I-??m still having problems with it. I have also needed to get a valve cover replacement and many repairs to my engine. My dashboard also has difficulties working and turning on. Sometimes my brakes are faulty and require changes frequently. I also have no seatbelts in my backseat

Inspection is available, but note that car is in very poor shape and melted. All persons in the vehicle at the time of the incident were in extreme danger as the car showed no warning signed in the engine heat or check lights in the dashboard before the engine sputtered and slowed, the electrical sparked, and the whole front of the car caught on fire. The fire spread on a matter of 10 minutes and burst the windshield and front tires from the flames. Police inspected the remains of the vehicle and were unable to discover the source outside of the leaking oil still on fire by the electrical unit. Claim has been reported to insurance provider for their review.

Before I started my trip to New Smyrna Beach, FL on May 28, 2022. I made sure my son checked the oil, the coolant, and my tire pressure. Car was running fine. Got on the highway and the car started making a load noise. I was able to get off the exit in Ormondo Beach, FL to check and see what was wrong. In the process I had to call my Husband and son. They came from Jacksonville, FL to check the car. The car temperature gauge went over half then back down. After resting for a while. My husband check the oil and it was low. He added oil and Lucas's oil. He drove the car back to Jacksonville, because I was afraid it might catch fire. We got 3 minutes from home; the car stalled out because he had to stop for a traffic light. And the black cloud of smoke came from the hood and back of the car. When had to push the car home. The car didn't give me no warning on the oil being low.

My car would not move over 20 mph. Car intermediately started overheated and died. I had to have it towed to a local infiniti dealer because the car was inoperable, the problem was found that Nissan had a recall on the car but the 1st owner never fixed it. The problem was a step motor, the car had no power, now after paying 3K for a new radiator the check engine light dates back to a recall years back Nissan had. This is unsafe.

After buying the car in late 2019, it came to my attention that the cvt transmission was faulty. I later found that the year, model, and make of my vehicle was included in a recall of the cvt transmissions, among other saftey issues. After having the vehicle inspected by three different shops, the conclusion was made that it was indeed the cvt transmission and stepper motor causing the problems. Upon further examination, it was found that my vehicle has not had a recall replacement of the faulty parts as of yet. The car has only 96K miles on it. When the issue arises, the transmission goes into a "safe" mode. This mode creates a throttle problem as the vehicle cannot travel faster than 40 mph without a high pitch wind up sound and a cut in power of almost 50%.

2010 Nissan Altima has an extremely dangerous safety defect that many other consumers are also experiencing, not just me. (see NHTSA id # 10899578). I have almost been rear-ended several times, sometimes with my small children in the car, because of this problem. The extremely dangerous safety defect is the car turns off completely while coming to stop, when stopped, and/or when accelerating from stop. All systems turn off including the ability to steer and stop. After turning off, the car will not immediately turn back on. Took the car to the dealer several time but the dealer was unable to diagnose the problem. The dealer replaced the transmission, since it had a recall and was under warranty, to see if it fixed the problem. It did not, as the vehicle turned off this morning, 8/14/18, when coming to a stop on a main city street. I was almost rear-ended because the car unexpectedly turned off and the brake lights do not seem to work when this happens. The car did not turn back on for several minutes. There needs to be an investigation and recall of this extremely dangerous safety defect.
