From a complete stop my car would not accelerate faster than 10 mph. It has happened several times now. The first time I was on the highway in stop and go traffic and when it was time to accelerate, I was unable to even pressing the gas all the way to the floor. I had to pull over and brake, then hit the gas and it was able to go again. The next time was after braking at a stop sign. The third time was after stopping at a red light. I had heavy traffic behind me and I could only go 10 mph. I even noticed after I parked my car and got out of it my brake lights were still on as if someone was sitting there pressing the brake-which wasn't the case at all. This is very dangerous. I had my child in the car all three times and im lucky I did not get rear ended.

At intermittent times while driving the vehicle will not accelerate when you push on the gas, this is very dangerous not only to me but to other people because it has almost caused accidents . When this occurs the traction control light will come on and remain lit until the car is restarted. Also the brake lights will stay light . It has been taken to the dealership where no codes could be found, on 05/02/2018 it was taken back to the dealership after many calls to Nissan motors about this problem they gave me a reference case # of 30341997 all this was given to the dealership to try to find the problem a second time after they were contacted by Nissan and myself. After 7 hours of having my car for diagnostics I was told it appears to be a factory defect that needs 3 parts ordered to do a work around. Two new wiring harnesses and a switch that will allow them to bypass brake switch relay and reroute to body control module , I was told this would cost and additional $500 plus on top of the $121. 62 I already paid for the diagnostics I do not think a consumer should have to pay for a factory defect firstly, then how is this work around going to affect the safety of my vehicle for myself and others? also Nissan must be well aware of this problem for them to already have manufactured these parts to do a work around to correct it. Are they trying to risk people lives to save a dollar? so in summery I have an acceleration problem that is going to get someone killed traction control issue that I have no idea if it is working correctly or not or if it is going to be disabled. Brake lights that stay on when driving when this happens that other drivers can't tell if I am applying the brakes or not. Don't like the idea of having such a new model car have a safety issue workaround done on it that it was not designed for.
