Consumer Description

I JUST PURCHASED A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM HERTZ CAR SALES IN APRIL 2019. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY, AND NOW I HAVE A NEW HEADACHE. ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019 OF LAST WEEK WHEN I STOPPED AT A CROSSWALK, ON A CITY STREET, TO ALLOW A PEDESTRIAN TO CROSS, WITHOUT ANY FOREWARNING THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. I HAD TO RESTART IT AND IT DID SO WITH NO PROBLEM, BUT THEN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR FELT VERY HESITANT TO DRIVE. AS I WAS DRIVING IT FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS GOING TO STOP AT ANY MINUTE. ESPECIALLY WHEN I WOULD BRAKE, SLOW DOWN, OR COMPLETELY STOP.I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR A FEW TIMES DURING MY COMMUTE. ALSO, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW DAYS NOW SO I HAD 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT MY CAR. THE FIRST ONE SAID THAT IT MAY BE THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR, BUT HE WAS NOT 100% CERTAIN. THE SECOND SHOP I WENT TO SAID IT WAS THE VTC SOLENOID,AND THE THIRD PLACE THAT I CHECKED GAVE ME AN ACTUAL ERROR # OF P0011 INTAKE VALVE TIMING, VALVE CONTROL.
