NHTSA Complaint #10678277 — 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA

JANUARY THE 8TH I WAS DRIVING FROM WORK TO HOME MY JOB IS ABOUT 30 MILES FROM MY HOME. I WAS DRIVING NO FASTER THAN 50-45 MILES AN HOUR DUE TO CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREAS ON MY WAY HOME. THERE ARE CAMERAS AT THE LIGHTS IN A CITY 7 MILES BEFORE MY CITY. IF YOU GO OVER THE LINE A BIT THEY TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR LICENSE PLATE AND SEND YOU A PICTURE AND TICKET IN THE MAIL WITH AN IMAGE OF YOU GOING OVER THE LINE INDICATING YOU'VE RUN A RED LIGHT. SO I PRESSED ON THE BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN AS THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW TO ASSURE I DID NOT GO OVER THE LINE. AS I SLOWED DOWN MY CAR JERKED I HAD A 2011 ALTIMA THAT DID THE SAME THING SO I WAS THINKING ITS NOTHING ITS HOW THE TRANSMISSION RUNS. BUT WITHIN A 12-15 FEET DISTANCE I STOPPED AS I COMPLETELY CAME TO A STOP MY CAR JERKED FORWARD, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP, HAZARD LIGHTS ON THE DASH SHOWED UP, AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I COULD NOT GET MY CAR TO DRIVE FORWARD IT WAS EMBARRASSING AS CARS HONKED FOR ME TO DRIVE. I RETURNED MY CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY UPDATED SOME RECALLS. THEN STATED THEIR SYSTEM IS NOT SHOWING IN ISSUES. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND ONCE I WAS ON A HILL THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I HOPE THE RECALLS THEY HAVE FIXED RESOLVES THE ISSUE I AM SCARED THAT THE CAR WILL DIE AND CUT OFF WHILE I AM ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. I HOPE AND PRAY MY ISSUES ARE RESOLVED AND, I DO NOT GET CRUSHED IN A COLLISION. *TR
