1 complaint

Car exhibits behavior detailed in Nissan TSB with classification EC19-011, reference number NTB19-018. Lack of power after engine cold soak. After engine sits for days, or even hours, upon startup, the accelerator is limited to about 5mph and 1500-2000 rpm. Very slow. It does this for about 10 seconds of forward movement with pedal beyond the 5mph threshold, then returns to everything performing like normal. 10 seconds of sitting idle doesn't do it. Unfortunately, those first 10 seconds are usually when pulling out into traffic from a parking lot. Whether from my house, my garage, or from work, it's done this in all these places. Not shopping because the engine doesn't cool down during that time. It did this since new but has become more regular over time. My car is a well cared for summer driver, not driven hard, and only has 6200 miles. Others on Facebook have mentioned this same issue, and the fact that there is a TSB issued says Nissan is aware of the problem, but doesn't consider it a safety risk. I can't tell you how many times I pull into traffic around a blind corner, and someone nearly T-bones me because I'm creeping in front of them. Imagine going from 45mph to 5mph, they're pissed because they think I cut them off, then I go 5mph for 5 more seconds to rub it in. I will get hit one of these days. This is clearly a product quality problem since the resolution in the TSB is to reprogram the ECU, and the risk to safety is existential. If I do get hit, I'd consider a lawsuit in light of the TSB. For the record, I contacted the dealer and also Nissan North America and they both referred me to each other, refusing to cover the reprogramming repair. With or without warranty, this should be recalled and fixed. Seems like only 2019's so far.
