I’ve a 2016 1.6 qq .. driving over a month ago the car took a few shudders and showed the system fault,abs, chassis , stop start, traction control , car distance and a few other lights turned the car off then on lights gone.. couple of miles done it again..done it for over a week until my mechanic could look at it but in the mean time I found a common fault apparently the exhaust pressure sensor pipe being blocked can cause this.. turned out the pipe was blocked had my mechanic fit a new one… car is still doing it, had a new battery fitted as it was like the car was loosing power still no difference. I’ve had a new fuel filter fitted as mechanic said the hesitating could be caused by this being blocked…… no difference. It doesn’t happen at a certain speed/ gear, can happen while pulling off or when driving along a normal road with no gear change totally unpredictable. The car feels like it’s going to stall but doesn’t can be abit scary when it happens some are worse than others and can really jerk you in the seat! Only seems to do it when the car is warm
Does any else have this problem or have had this problem and know what I could look at next? I’ve had dpf checked this is absolutely fine. the car only has around 30,000 miles on it
The car is reading no codes but when the abs etc lights came on the car read a p0335 cam shaft position sensor .. the next day the lights were off and the garage couldn’t find the code so said not the change the sensor , if this something worth doing or not to bother?
Trying to think cheapest options as I’m running out of ideas and Nissan want a lot of money even just to look at the car.

Welcome to this forum.

I see you've found the usual causes - let's see if someone can suggest another avenue to try.

Fingers crossed!! Absolute pain as can’t trust the car to pull out on roundabouts etc incase it does it so can’t really use it atall.

2 things i`d go for is the battery (has correct type been fitted, efb, agm) and the other is fuel filter even though you have had it replaced did you have the air bubbles removed before new filter put on ?

So the battery is the correct one (both my mechanic and the garage) as they thought the same. I’m not sure if the garage removed air bubbles as they had the car for a day rang and said they done this but they’ve test driven it and it was still doing it…

no, the problem occurred only now, only when the engine is cold, when it warms up, it runs fine
