2017 Nissan NV3500

The motor developed rod knock as the vehicle was traveling down the highway. The low oil pressure light came on along with an audible warning. This vehicle has previously been repaired by the dealer for the same issue at 97,273 miles (the engine needed to be replaced). This issue has now reoccured at 156,310 miles (less than 60,000 miles later). This engine failure could result in the vehicle stalling on the highway resulting in a collision.

MY CAR WOULD REV UP REALLY LOUD AFTER I STARTED IT AND WOULD LAST FOR 1 MINUTE OR 1 MINUTE AND HALF UNTIL I DEPRESS THE ACCELIRATOR . RECENTLY MY CAR WILL KEEP ON REVVING UP IN LOW SPEED AND WHILE IN INTERSTATE, I COULD FEEL THE ENGINE REALLY LOUD WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED AND I WON'T SPEED UP IN LOW SPEED EXCEPT GIVING LOUD SOUND. I FEEL ITS DANGEROUS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT DO THAT.

TWO TIMES WITHIN 12 MONTHS OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME OF AND THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE LIKE TWO METAL DISCS ARE RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN WE JUST RECENTLY FILL UP THE TANK AND THEN HAVE A LARGE TEMPERATURE SWING FROM HOT TO COLD. THE FIRST TIME THE GUY SAID IT IS BAD GAS...I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE WE GOT BAD GAS FROM TWO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS WITHIN 12 MONTHS.

FIRST NOTICE A LOUD REVVING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE YESTERDAY MAY 8. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND YOU LOSE POWER TO ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR DOES NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. TODAY MAY 9 I HAVE NOTICED WITH THE AIR BEING ON THAT IT TENDS TO REV MORE. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES TODAY. SOUNDS LIKE A JET TAKING OFF. VAN HAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND YOU LOSE POWER. IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE MOVING, PARKED, SHORTLY AFTER STARTING. THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES WHERE FAN SUDDENLY GETS EXTREMELY LOUD AND EXPERIENCE LOSS OF ACCELERATION. SHIFTING UP AND ACCELERATING IS EXTREMELY LABORED. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME. IT IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. ONCE IT STARTS, TURNING IT ON AND OFF DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY WHEN STARTING THE CAR, OTHER TIMES IT WILL SUDDENLY KICK IN WHILE DRIVING WHICH HAS PROVEN TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I SUDDENLY CAN'T GET THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AS QUICKLY AS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO. BOUGHT IT WIL 44 MILES ON IT. PROBLEM STARTED AT 299 MILES. WE TOOK IT IN IMMEDIATELY AND THEY MADE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE FAN SHROUD WHICH SEEMED TO HELP FOR AWHILE, BUT NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN EVERY 2 TO 3 TIMES I DRIVE.

SPORADICALLY, 3-4 TIMES A WEEK, WHILE DRIVING IT BEGINS TO SOUND LIKE THERE IS A JET ENGINE IN MY VAN AND IT LOSES POWER. THIS HAPPENS WHILE MOVING, AND I CANNOT ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE SPEED DROPS. TURNING OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER CAN CAUSE THE SOUND TO GO AWAY AND POWER TO BE RESTORED. I KNOW OF OTHER NVP'S WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AT LEAST ONE THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE SAME DEALER AS MINE. THE DEALER SAYS THE VEHICLE IS NOT THROWING A CODE SO THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, EXCEPT WE CANNOT MAINTAIN ANY SPEED OR ACCELERATE AND IT TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO REGAIN POWER AFTER TURNING OFF THE AIR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN SOME DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE VAN IS ONLY 3 WEEKS OLD.

WHEN ACCELERATING IN LOW GEARS, THERE IS A LOUD FAN NOISE. LOSS OF POWER, AND A VERY HIGH REVVING ENGINE JUST BEFORE SHIFTING TO NEXT HIGHER GEAR. WHEN FINALLY REACH 40 MPH OR SO, REVVING GOES DOWN BUT VERY LOAD FAN/ENGINE NOISE IS STILL THERE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LATEST WAS 09/21. THE FIRST WAS ON 08/06 ON THE INTERSTATE IN TENNESSEE. JUST PURCHASED VAN IN MID AUGUST. ONLY 1200 MILES ON IT. TAKING IT TO DEALER TOMORROW BUT THEY DON'T BELIEVE ME THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. WORRIED THAT IT WILL DAMAGE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION AND LEAVE ME STRANDED SOMEWHERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN NV3500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH. IN ADDITION; THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY TO ACCELERATE TO 30 MPH, AND WAS MAKING AN ABNORMAL NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DELAND NISSAN AT 2600 S WOODLAND BLVD, DELAND, FL 32720 AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE TO PROVIDE A DIAGNOSIS. NO FURTHER DETAILS WERE AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133.
