NHTSA Complaint #11354613 — 2017 NISSAN ROGUE SPORT

I HAVE EXPERIENCED, AT LEAST 10 TIMES AS OF 9/12/2020, THE LATEST INSTANCE BEING YESTERDAY 9/11/2020, A LACK OF RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING. EVERY INSTANCE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, NO ROLLING STOPS WERE AFFECTED. SOME OF THE TIMES IT WAS REALLY HOT (95 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT), BUT OTHER TIMES IT WAS 65-70 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. SOME OF THE INSTANCES WERE RIGHT AFTER I TURNED THE CAR ON AND NEEDED TO STOP AND THEN GO, OTHER INSTANCES WERE AFTER DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE. I WOULD PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO DRIVE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR, I.E.NO FORWARD MOTION, NO RPMS, NO REVVING OF THE ENGINE. I WOULD THEN LET THE GAS PEDAL COME UP AND THEN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN AGAIN TO ACCELERATE. IN SOME OF THE INSTANCES, THE SECOND PRESS OF THE GAS PEDAL WOULD MAKE THE CAR GO. MOST OF THE INSTANCES NEEDED A THIRD VERY FAST COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR PRESS OF THE GAS PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO MOVE. SOME OF THE INSTANCES WERE WHILE I WAS JUST SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO GO, OTHERS WERE WHEN I NEEDED TO STOP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN (WHICH BECAME QUITE DANGEROUS VERY FAST). NONE OF THE INSTANCES HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE CHANGING SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING. ALL INSTANCES HAPPENED ON SUBURBAN ROADS WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS OR GOING TO AND FROM WORK OR PEOPLE'S HOUSES. THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHEN THESE INSTANCES HAPPENED, THE RADIO AND LIGHTS STILL WORKED CORRECTLY WITHOUT ANY HESITATION. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ALERTING ME TO ANY CODES BEING GIVEN BY THE ENGINE. I AM REALLY UNSURE OF WHAT THE CAUSE IS, AND THE MECHANICS COULD NOT REPLICATE IT TO LOOK INTO ANYTHING. AFTER A FEW INSTANCES OF THIS, AND IN TALKING TO SOME OF MY CAR FRIENDS, IT COULD BE A THROTTLE RESPONSE ISSUE OR MAYBE A GUMMED UP VALVE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM SOMEWHERE. I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
