She's acting up....

UPDATE: Just took it to the dealer, and was able to re-enact the issue with a tech in the car. One thing I didn't think about was putting my foot in the clutch when it happens. He suggested it, and what do you know, the car went to 4500 rpm and maintained that rpm through the turn (or until I touched the brake or the turn straightened out). So, it was definately maintaining a throttle. Those with this issue should try the same thing. Anyway, the car is in their hands now; and hopefully they call with a option/solution.

glad to hear this was reenacted with the dealer present. Please update us as this is still happening to me. And i agree it only happens at the "sweet spot" of the gear.

Quick update:
They couldn't find any obvious issue to cause the problem (checked all wiring and sensors, and found nothing). They have a call into Engineering, and are awaiting an answer of what to do next - they will have the car for a few more days. Its supposed to rain around here the rest of the week, so no biggie for me.

I also put in a complaint on the PW sideskirts not being a perfect paint fit (like all of them). Again, they will be reviewed by a corp representative when they are back in town (the run around on that one).

Well, they called today, and said I can pick it up. The dealer said that Engineering (Nissan) came back saying they are working on it, and will let me (the dealer) know when they have a fix - timing unknown.

Hmmm, disappointing.

They, Nissan Engineering, probably have to modify their algorithm used for SRM. Maybe/Hopefully enough people will complain about this issue to have it escalated so a fix (in the form of a TSB) can be pushed out sooner rather than later.

I wouldn't hold my breath in hopes of a fix to be released soon though. When they do develop a fix, it will have to go through extensive (read long) testing.
