Consumer Description

WHEN PROCEEDING FROM A GREEN LIGHT, THE 2017 NISSAN FRONTIER SV WILL NOT ACCELERATE AS NORMAL. TO GET THE TRUCK MOVING FORWARD, I HAD TO STEP ON THE GAS MEDAL WITH MORE DEPTH THAN USUAL, RENDERING THE ENGINE RPM VERY HIGH, TO INCH THE TRUCK AWAY FROM THE STOP LIGHT. LUCKILY, I MADE IT TO A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT WHICH WAS ABOUT 100-200 FEET AWAY. FROM THE PARKING STALL, I WANTED TO TEST IF THE REVERSE GEAR WAS AFFECTED. SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE AND THE 2017 NISSAN FRONTIER SV WILL NOT MOVE BACKWARDS. THE REVERSE GEAR DID NOT WORK. THIS TRUCK HAS 500 MILES ONLY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRED.
