NHTSA Complaint #11326487 — 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA

AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC, THERE CAN BE NO RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I CAN BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THEN PRESS THE GAS, AND NOTHING HAPPENS, UNTIL SUDDENLY IT WILL ENGAGE AND LURCH FORWARD. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE RELAY SWITCH. THEY REPAIRED IT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD BE THEY 'REBOOTED THE SOFTWARE', BUT AGAIN, THE CAR STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE TO THEY COULD DO UNLESS THERE WAS A "CODE" TO READ, BUT SINCE THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT, THERE IS NO CODE. I FEEL THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED, WAITING ON A LEFT TURN, THEN TRY TO PROCEED, AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS,THEN HAVE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT. THANK YOU. *TR
