What 16 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Nissan Nv3500 Cargo

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.

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.

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.

WE BOUGHT YOUR NV 3500 SL V8 LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO. AFTER DRIVING IT A FEW HUNDRED MILES (MOSTLY HIGHWAY) THE ENGINE BECAME EXTREMELY NOISY, WITH A REVVING SOUND, AND IT ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. IT CONTINUED TO SOUND LIKE AN AIRPLANE ATTEMPTING TO TAKE OFF, AND IT WAS SLUGGISH WITH SHIFTING WITH SIMPLE ACCELERATION AND EVEN WITH DECELERATION. THIS LOUD NOISE IS WORSE IF THE AC IS ON. IT WILL SOMETIMES COMPLETELY STOP AFTER HAVING THE CAR OFF FOR A WHILE. BUT SOME DAYS IT IS ROARING IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE VAN IS STARTED IN THE MORNING.

MY VAN WILL RANDOMLY SOUND LIKE IT IS NEUTRAL WHEN IT IS IN DRIVE AND IT LOSES ACCELERATION WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE FREQUENCY IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING AND DURATION IS INCREASING. IT WILL NOW LOSE ACCELERATION AND THE RPMS WILL RANDOMLY INCREASE WHILE DRIVING. THE RENTAL VAN THAT WE DROVE DID THE SAME THING. REPORTS FROM OTHER 2017 NV 3500 OWNERS STATE THAT THEIR VANS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT MY VAN IS AN ISOLATED CASE AND I BELIEVE THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION WHEN THE VAN MALFUNCTIONS THAT WAY IS A SAFETY HAZARD, NOT TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL STRESS IT PUTS ON THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BROUGHT MY VAN INTO THE DEALERSHIP THREE SEPARATE TIME AND CONTACTED NISSAN COMMERICAL VEHICLES. MY VAN IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AT CREST NISSAN IN FRISCO, TEXAS.
