Car idling, jerking and hesitating at 30mph. When accelerating it does not. The car is going but from a slow speed going to a higher mph, it will stay stuck and if you floor it, it just won't move. This is dangerous. It's happened on the freeway three times. Now the brake fluid is leaking everywhere. This is a second issue. Transmission. Engine. Cvt, ecm issue and mass air flow sensor and pvc sensor must not be on correctly. I have videos. The service dept has seen them but they can't seem to duplicate the issue.
The anti-lock brake pump leaked brake fluid onto a circuit board, causing an electrical fire which caused my car to catch on fire. This resulted in the vehicle being totaled out . The vehicle was stationary for about 12 hours in front of home. While on fire the vehicle started itself up without anyone being in the vehicle.
I experienced a loss of brake pressure when starting my car and was able to stop the car only from a low speed. The car was towed to the closest dealer, martin Nissan in skokie IL. The dealer reported a fluid leak and that the master cylinder had failed. The dealer replaced the master cylinder but still observed that there was still a loss of brake pressure. The dealer then replaced the abs brake actuator which resolved the brake pressure issue. The abs brake actuator has been replaced twice before on this vehicle, once under NHTSA safety recall campaign 16v193000 and once under NHTSA safety recall campaign 16v636000.
