The Motor/engine consumes excess oil creating a burnt smell and a lot of whitesmoke coming out of the muffler. The vehicle is stalling constantly and won-??t accelerate properly while driving. Creating an unsafe environment for me and those driving near me. I have repair and install new piece but non of them would fix the problem. I took it to the dealer and they didn-??t find the problem. I have heard of a lot of people having the same issue with this model of vehicle.
When I am driving my car the collision brake come on and my car will reduce speed and the not accurate. The car would still be started but will not move upon me pushing the acceleration. When I start my car and I-??m reversing it will not move upon me accelerating, when I put the car in drive it will jerk and take off really fast. At a red light after coming to a complete stop my car will not accelerate after me pushing the gas, leaving me stuck in traffic in the middle of the street. This is completely unsafe to myself as well as my baby. I am scared to drive my car. I have taken my car in numerous times to the Nissan dealership and it still does the same thing, costing me money.
I was driving home from work and was changing lanes when all of the sudden the swerving road, two cars crashing, and check engine light came on. I couldn't accelerate and car lost power. I was in the lane next to the fast lane and cars started honking. I was able to pull over eventually. I waited 10 minutes and started the car and the same thing happened but this time I was stuck in between the HOV lanes and the fast lane. I've never been so terrified before and I don't feel safe driving that car ever again. I took my car to the Nissan dealer on 1/28/23 and they were able to reproduce the problem. I was told it almost left their technicion stranded on the freeway. As of 2/1/23 I still do not have my car and I don't know exactly what the problem is. Prior to this incident the check engine light came on and gave a code for the MAF sensor which I replaced.
I was driving my car on the freeway approximately going 55mph, then I wanted to break slightly, but I was unable too, because my car kept accelerating. It didnt want to stop. Luckily there wasnt cars next me. I managed to pull my emergency break up and slam on my breaks again. Car got towed to dealership they said they couldnt find an issue. This happened 10/21/22. And it happened to me again 10/29 except I was off the freeway. Same problem my car kept accelerating, its almost as it was stuck. I got my car towed again to dealership. I am currently waiting to see what they tell me. This has never happened to me. I am not a new driver and I bought my car new in 2019. It happen twice within a short period of time. I am very concerned and do not feel safe with my vehicle.

There was no "incident" but I bought a car from a dealership. The salesman didn't let me take it on the road, only around the parking lot ( so I didn't notice the problem). Since I had driven a similar car at another dealership on the road, I didn't think anything of it. (Dumb, I know). When I drove away, I immediately noticed that the speedometer wasn't working. I turned around at the next exit and headed back...less that 30 minutes. Me: "The speedometer isn't working!" Mgr"we have that part on order and will call you when it comes in." Me:"I told (the salesman) I was going out of town Tuesday (this was a Saturday) and I need a working speedometer." Mgr: "You can get out of a ticket that way. If you get pulled over, just tell the cop that your speedometer isn't working and that will get you out of a ticket." Me: "Where is my old car"" Mgr: "I don't know" Me : I want it back. I want my old car back! Mgr: "Once you sign the papers, we don't return cars." When I got back from out of town, I told the finance mgr what was said to me....He said, "did you get stopped"" Me: "no" FM: "Then, there's no problem" Me: "Sending me out without a speedometer is pretty important. Almost like sending me out without brakes" FM: "Oh, it's not that bad."
The transmission sliipped so bad that it lurched me forward and almost to stand still traffic ! I nearly hit oil tanker I was. Able to get the vehicle safely off the road the check engine light came and I was barely able to get it in the parking lot !! this car is dangerous I have always been afriad to take it to dealership because service departments are trained to scam customer I have had regular maintaince on it since I have had it. Nissan fails to acknowledge that they make crappy cars!!
