Tl* the contact owned a 2013 nissan altima. While driving 30 MPH, the vehicle revved and accelerated without warning. The contact depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle did not respond. As a result, the contact's vehicle crashed into another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The driver sustained injuries to the pelvic, both legs, head, teeth, and. Medical attention was required. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.
I was driving on the highway, the car started making a strange noise, shifting hard and the check engine light came on...I decided to leave the highway as the car was losing speed. At the first light, the car stalled in the middle of the road... The trouble is that I did not realize until the light turned green and cars in from of me started moving and I couldn't almost got hit from behind by incoming cars. Ended up moving slowly to the side. Got the car towed to a nissan dealer that advised that it a CVT failure.
