Altima 2016 acceleration issue

Asked by Guru9FFLGX Dec 20, 2022 at 06:19 PM about the 2016 Nissan Altima 2.5 SR

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

As many having this issue on 2016 Altima self acceleration or not moving even
you hitting gas, seems like a known issue. If issue keep happening, dealer
testing & saying their computer not picking up any code or duplicating issue,
what should be my alternate option?

I would kick the dealer to the curb. This sounds like a problem in the throttle control system, could be a bad spot in the sensor or even a wiring issue but you don’t want to just throwing parts on it so find a good independent shop that can do live data scanning from cold engine right up to full operational temperature. As this sounds like an intermittent problem it may take some time to duplicate so give them a little time to do a few runs.
