While driving on the highway, during the morning, my car activated the brakes on its own, this is the second time this happens the first time i took it to the dealer and asked for the sensors to be removed, and kept it for a whole day and apparently nothing was done, secondly the (front radar obstruction) is becoming annoying. another of the issues i encountered with this my altima is the shifting, from 2nd to 3rd gear it feels as if the gears were stuck, also took it in the dealer and they said this could not be true because my altima doesn't have a regular transmission it has a band, so i responded, you know more than me, just please make a note of my issue and i don't want to be stuck with a lemon, i am sure i'm not the only one that has encountered these issues
Driving along interstate slowed down for traffic light and when i stepped on the gas to accelerate, vehicle would not go even if the accelerator was on the floor could not get above 40mph and rpm were between 4&5 was almost rearended by other traffic. happened two more times on the highway. also when driving through slow traffic feels as if transmission is jerking and power is lost.
