Over the last year my 2015 Nissan Sentra has been having problems of judder (shake and shudder), hesitation on acceleration, lack of power and RPM flare. It happens when I am driving highway speed and when going uphill on the highway as well. I went to Firestone to get a diagnostic check and came out with the code of p17f4.

While approaching a red traffic light it turned green and I accellerated to the road speed of 40 MPH. The next traffic light turned red and I took my foot off the gas pedal but it didn't come up and release, the car continued to go. I used my brake and slowed the vehicle to a stop.

When I am pulling out into traffic or any stop and go, I press the gas pedal and sporadically there is a hesitation with the car acceleration. At times I am crossing a lane and traffic is coming and my car hesitated. Very scary thinking I may get t boned.

While driving it rattles, picks up speed very slowly, when stepping on gas it takes a long time to speed up which is dangerous because other traffic can hit me from behind. Makes weird noise every time I step on gas and is going 30 MPH. Having difficulty when trying to reverse.

I was trying to accelerate on the freeway but car was not accelerating, only staying at the same speed. I kept trying and the accelerator would not accelerate so I had to keep the throttle fully depressed to maintain speed.

While driving the nissan at about 45 MPH, I tried to let up on the gas pedal, but my shoe was caught on the base of the console, which delayed my ability to decrease my speed.
