After coming to a stop (or near stop) from highway speeds, my 2014 Nissan cube does not respond to depressing the accelerator. I would press the gas to the floor and it barely moved. It was extremely slow, like the engine would not go above idle. After 5-20 seconds it would finally accelerate. A couple of times I was in heavy traffic on a limited access rural highway. The light ahead had turned red and I decelerated to an almost stop before the light changed to green. Of course, I immediately let off the brake pedal and pressed the accelerator. The car didn't respond and the traffic from behind was closing at near highway speed. Fortunately, I was able to swerve off of the road onto the shoulder as the overtaking traffic barrelled past me. One particularly scary time I was in

The seat belt tensioner did not lock and restrain my mother causing her to slide down the shoulder harness causing the seat belt to cut into her chest cavity into her lung. Nissan was contacted and sent an attorney and an engineer to investigate. *dt*jb

ABS light came on, I checked on the internet to see what the problem might be and came up with a number of reasons, the last being have it checked ASAP. Took the car to my repair shop to have it checked. Found code C1116 stop lamp circuit was the problem, which I had fixed.When I picked up the car, I was told that getting the part wasn't difficult because it was a common problem. They also told me that my brake lights wouldn't work because of the circuit problem. In my opinion, this is a safety concern; if your brake lights aren't working how can anyone behind you know your intention to slow down or stop . What's more, how am I to know that my rear brake lights are not working? I'm in the cabin driving and unless I am alerted by another driver behind me, what am I to do?
