The suspension on my 2001 Nissan Altima is very low loud noise. The car rattles and shake in the rear suspension.
The automobile accelerated while the consumer's foot was on the brake. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer/mechanic three times and because the vehicle did not duplicate the problem, the mechanic was unable to find out what was happening with the automobile. The third time he just left the vehicle with mechanic/dealer so that they may drive the automobile to see if the problem resurfaced. The vehicle was shifted into drive but went into reverse.
Consumer states that when vehicle is put in park engine races and jerks forward intremittently while foot is on the brakes.
On two occasions, in stop & go traffic, while stopped with my foot on brake, the engine started racing, when I took the car out of gear, the engine rpms "took off" I shut off the engine and restarted, everything was fine. When this first happend, I took the car back to the dealer but they could not find anything wrong. I thought it was a fluke the first time but now I think there is something seriously wrong. On both occasions, I was stopped with my foot on the brake, not on the accelerator, when the engine started racing, the only way to control it was to shut off the engine. I am taking the car back to the dealer, hopefully they can find the problem.
Vehicle would accelerate & go into overdrive on its own. Was driving 5mph down alley way. Put into neutral & engine started roaring, and rpms went racing high. Vehicle towed to dealer.
