ORIGINALLY THE CAR WOULD HESITATE, BOG,ONLY WHILE TURNING OR SLIGHTLY ROLLING. ADDITIONALLY NOW IT HESITATES FROM A DEAD STOP. SOMETIMES IT HESITATES,GOES,THEN HESITATES AGAIN. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT IT OCCURS WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR TURNING THROUGH A LIGHT. I'M AFRAID THE CAR WILL STALL AND I'LL BE HIT BROADSIDE OR FROM BEHIND. THE DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE CAR 4 TIMES AND SAYS IT'S THE WAY THE CVT TRANSMISSION WORKS. THE CAR DID NOT DO THIS DURING THE FIRST 2000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 50 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A CAR OPERATE SO DANGEROUSLY. I AM IN A LEASE AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
