What owners wrote
While towing under the capacity of the vehicle tow specification, the vehicle dropped out of cruise control (set at 65 MPH). This caused an unexpected slowdown of almost 20 MPH and my family and I feared getting hit at that speed (45 in a 65 when people are driving at 75 or more). Nissan technicians witnessed this happen.
Vehicle will not accelerate (no throttle response) randomly and without warning. Rpms do not budge despite pedal being to the floor. Problem seems to be more common when the steering wheel is turned. Shifting vehicle I to neutral briefly and then back to drive seems to resolve problem, but this isn't at all safe turning into in an intersection with cars coming. Seems kind of ridiculous this isn't a big deal to an oem.
