NHTSA Complaint #10903427 — 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA

AT A RED LIGHT, CAR STALLED, TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO RESTART. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, IT REVS LIKE IT HAS A STRAIN; NOT GOING ANYWHERE FAST, UNTIL IT GETS TO 40 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. WE HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP, ALTERNATOR, AND BATTERY. EACH TIME WE CHANGED A PART, THE CAR WOULD BE FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. I AM AFRAID WHEN THIS HAPPENS THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO PLOW INTO ME BECAUSE THEY CAN'T STOP IN TIME AS MY CAR IS GOING TOO SLOW. MY HUSBAND SEEMS TO THINK IT'S NOT AS MUCH THE TRANSMISSION AS MAYBE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SEEING AS THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED OR PROBABLY ALREADY HAS, BUT NO ONE CAN TELL WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT IF THE DRIVER IS DEAD! I LOVE THE CAR AND WOULD BUY ANOTHER NISSAN, BUT I WILL RESEARCH THEM FIRST! I AM GLAD TO SEE IT IS NOT MY IMAGINATION ABOUT THE CAR JUMPING WHILE ACCELERATING. IT SEEMS TO ONLY DO IT WHEN I AM DRIVING, BUT IT STOPS JUMPING WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR.
