Consumer Description
I NEED TO DRIVE FROM MD TO GA EVERY COUPLE OF MONTH. I NOTICED THAT IF I DRIVE MY CAR CONTINUOUSLY FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS (ABOUT 3 OR 4 HOURS), THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE FROM A STOP FOR AT LEAST COUPLE OF SECONDS. I HAVE FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE ENGINE WAS LIKE 2000 RPM. THE CAR BARELY MOVES. IT THEN BECOME NORMAL AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS. BECAUSE OF THIS, I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PULL FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WENT TO A NISSAN DEALER TO CHECK WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. BUT THE DEALER (NORRIS NISSAN WEST NEAR BALTIMORE) TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM SO THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I THOUGHT THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVERS LIKE ME AND THE DEALER'S ACTION IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND UNACCEPTABLE. NOW I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING MY CAR FOR RELATIVELY LONG TRIPS NOW. *TR
