On sunday, sept 22 2019 at around 1:40pm we were headed home from an vacation at a cabin rental property in sevierville, tn. not even quarter mile from our cabin on a straight and down hill road all of a sudden the brakes stopped functioning. i applied brakes multiple times but the car didn't stop and in order to avoid a small pond on the right hand side and the car in front i had to divert my car on the shoulder of the road. as i hit shoulder of the road the front passenger wheel busted and the car eventually stopped further at the up hill. i don't know if the brakes failed and/or the abs and/or the onboard computer malfunctioned. i did see abs and vdc lights sign coming on the dashboard for at least 2 hours before disappearing on its own. also since then the tire pressure sign has never gone off. the tire pressure signs blinks for a little while every time start the car and then gets steady. this seems to be an safety concern to me as i still can't understand how would the car do nothing even after applying the brakes so many times. with an 2011 model and only 56000 miles on it i would never expect something like this to happen. so scared to drive the car now as we have an two year old who was in the car at the time of the incident & my wife got an minor injury to her left elbow. i reported the incident to nissan by calling 800-647-7261 on sept 24 2019 and haven't heard anything back from them since than.
On june 18 2019 i was driving 55 mph on the belt line in madison, wi. with my newborn daughter. when all of a sudden the car started lurching, i had no control. in heavy traffic i was afraid of causing in accident. the brakes were hard and if i pushed on the gas it started lurching out of control. i was finally able to pullover and noticed the voc light was on. i pushed the voc button to turn it off. but it wouldn't turn off. i called my father larry. he told me to turn off the car wait a minute. turn it back on. to see if the voc would reset. it did reset. the problem continues i taken my car into different locations for inspection. i see a lot of people have the same problem on this website. however my car does not fall into the recall. why? it affects steering (lack of) brakes (non existent) gas (causes lurching). very dangerous for me & my newborn. not to mention those around me. my car has 115,000 miles.
It is ridiculous that so many people with the same car have had the same exact problem and no investigation or action has been done by the nhtsa yet. as others have complained before, i have had moments where my car would have the vdc light go off and the car would begin to not accelerate over 2,000 rpms and would shake the car in a violent manner. i have had error codes p0101 and p0725 come up and dissapear through a period of six months. i have had to install a new oem mass air flow sensor to try to fix p0101 and it has returned on and off. the car has been acting much weaker than before and would have lots of hesitation whenever you would give it any gas. i have tried to search online to fix this but have come up with no definite answer. i just want my car to be reliable and that is what i expected when this car was purchased yet for it to start failing before the 100k mark, it shows how defective nissan products are. i have put a thousand dollars trying to fix it only to find out nothing has changed.a recall needs to be done to fix this. guaranteed last time i will buy a nissan for sure.
Driving down off ramp and car just suddenly shut off and would not start.
I'm driving normal on the road with no condensation on roadway, when all of a sudden the "vdc off" indicator light is illuminated and the car looses speed and jerks. i pull off to the side of road. turn car completely off. wait a few minutes to turn car back on. car may operate normally for a few minutes and then again the "vdc off" light is back along with the jerking. i can be either on the highway (which is extremely dangerous) or driving on the city streets. when i am stopped at a stop light, stop sign or even backing out my driveway i am having issues with the "vdc off". when i am stationary after turning my car off and back on again, sometime it is still on and thecrpm is revving up and down. my foot is neither on the brake or the gas pedal. this last time 3/11/2019. it has been doing this off and on starting since january 2019.
At random times the vdc off indicator will turn on while driving. it can not be turned off and it is impossible for your car to go over 40 mph without constant jerking. you have to pull over, shut down and restart your car multiple times until the indicator doesn't come back on. some times this is impossible and will never go away until car has been shut off for an hour or so. this can occur at any time when the car is in motion or even at a stop light, the indicator will come on and the jerking will begin. very dangerous.
My vehicle turns off by itself and black smoke comes out of the muffler.the car brakes are acting weird. the car overheats
Car runs fine, all of a sudden, skips into the tracton control mode and vehicle slowes to around 10 mph. car will not accelerate. dash check engine light comes on . car cannot continue. after stopping, shut engine off, car will run fine, then it happens again. safety issue, traveling at 40 mph and have your engine shut down. no warning, just happens.
Engine to stall while the vehicle is in motion on a major highway and it was not be possible to restart the engine soon after it stopped, increasing the risk of a crash. according to the local nissan dealer, the ecm module needs to be replaced. these symptoms are similar to recall#10v555000 and #11v579000.
I've been having issues with my vehicle. at times, the engine stalls and it cannot go above 15-20 mph, even while driving on the interstate. the steering wheel also locks up, as well. the vehicle dynamic control indicator then turns on. luckily, i've been able to get to a safe location when this happens, but i find it alarming. i also think this defect is affecting other important components in my vehicle. it has been happening sporadically for about 2 years now.
