| Power Train problems |
After coming to a stop (or near stop) from highway speeds, my 2014 Nissan Cube does not respond to depressing the accelerator. I would press the gas to the floor and it barely moved. It was extremely slow, like the engine would not go above idle. After 5-20 seconds it would finally accelerate. A couple of times I was in heavy traffic on a limited access rural highway. The light ahead had turned red and I decelerated to an almost stop before the light changed to green. Of course, I immediately let off the brake pedal and pressed the accelerator. The car didn't respond and the traffic from behind was closing at near highway speed. Fortunately, I was able to swerve off of the road onto the shoulder as the overtaking traffic barrelled past me. One particularly scary time I was in the left lane with guard rail on the left as we were approaching a bridge; the no response event repeated itself, but I was unable to exit the roadway to the left. I kept the pedal down and prayed no one would hit me. Karma was watching over me as the cars coming from behind realized just in time that I was barely moving and swerved to miss me. A couple of the cars narrowly missed hitting me; there was a lot of squealing tires and blaring horns. Luckily for me, I was wearing dark-colored underwear�. . It appears to happen more often as the car accumulates mileage. I never know when this will happen, so now I try to be in the right lane for upcoming stops, but sometimes you are caught off guard for a traffic light change. This is very scary. Car should be recalled.
