NHTSA Complaint #11326234 — 2017 NISSAN ALTIMA

THE CAR HAS A DELAY WHEN ACCELERATING, WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO PUSH TOO FAR ON THE ACCELERATOR SINCE THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY ACCELERATE. THE TACHOMETER WILL ALSO GO UP TO 5000 RPM WHEN GOING BETWEEN 55 AND 60MPH. IT WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN AT HIGH WAY SPEED. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT EITHER ISSUE IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON. BOTH ISSUES ARE INTERMITTENT BUT IF ONE OCCURS THE OTHER DOES ALSO. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER COME TO A STOP A FREE DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE IS JUST UNDER THREE YEARS OLD WITH 54,000 MILES. RECENTLY I HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT AND I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED/INSPECTED, CODES/COMPUTER CHECKED AND THE PROGRAM UPDATED FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $330. TIME WILL TELL IF FIXED THE ISSUE. I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH I AM UNDER THE 60000 POWERTRAIN WARRANT AND THE 60000 MILE RECOMMENDED TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE. *TR
